NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

3070 at $500 and 2080ti perf? 2080ti owners on suicide watch. Can't see it myself.

This could well be the killer Ampere card. Awful lot of performance for 500 dollars/pounds/groats/whatever.

I see no reason why not tbh. If the 3080 is going to be a fair bit faster than a 2080Ti then the 3070 should be around the same performance.

It's in NVidia's interests to bring RTX to more gamers to push development of titles that support it. Turing got stuck in a catch-22 situation where people didn't upgrade as there weren't really any RTX titles and the raw grunt of the cards didn't warrant it.

My 1080 has 8gb so i can't see why only 10gb with the 3080 unless they're steering customers to the 3090.

It doesnt make sense, we were told Vega's HBM memory was expensive so you have a reason to factor in cost there, but 8Gb -> 16Gb DDR6 should be the ball park for a card costing the amount a 3080 will be priced at. I am not sure why there are obscure sizes outside the usual doubling with memory (i.e. 10Gb, 12Gb) but I am sure we will find out soon enough.
 
Im actually pleased at the 3080 having 10gb ram. Because I will defo grab a second hand 2080ti and save quite a bit of money. 2080Ti will be fine for me till the next release.

Size is dictated by the bus width. Individual memory size is 1 or 2 GB. So they don't have much choice. Bigger the bus the more expensive and complicated the card is going to be, so you're never going to see cheap cards with 320bit or above bus, at least from Nvidia. So those cards are gonna be stuck at 6 or 8 GB, or their double.

Ahh ok, so double of 6 is 12Gb well thats the number the 3080 should have (nicer if it was more).

The stacking is this:

3090 - 384 bit (2 GB x 12 = 24 GB)
3080 - 320 bit (1 GB x 10 = 10 GB)
3070 - 256 bit (1 GB x 8 = 8 GB)
3060 - 192 bit (1 GB x 6 = 6 GB)

Rumours are that they will also use 2 GB chips for below 3090 but we don't know.
 
Absolutely love the look of the 3090 FE, if those slides are genuine that's a bloody big boost in performance. I'm going from 2x 2080 Ti's to one 3090 so that performance looks brilliant.
 
if the leaked specs of the 3090 are correct thats a extra 320gb of memory badwith compared to the 2080ti and a 1000+ more cuda cores, those are some truly massive numbers and should allow such a card to brute force its way through rtx and dlss features of last gen that were only just capable of handling at the top end.

if the fe card's dimentions stay around the same size of the 2080ti (height wise) i may opt for that, if not bring on those aib cards

Can't wait to see the proper reviews, but still going to get a preorder in quick as I want to go back to a single card this time due to crappy SLI support. Shame as my 2x cards have been fantastic, especially in games that support SLI.

it's the insane memory bandwidth that really shines for ray tracing imo. no doubt about it 3090 looks like a monster. too bad I'm cheap. :P

Usually launch day or a few days before. So say if the 3090 goes up for preorder and is released 28th september we’d likely see reviews on the day, or a few days before that date. Nvidia specify the nda date so it could really be any time before launch day.

chances are reviewers will have cards on hand for testing in the coming week or two or perhaps already who knows.

Apparently reviewers are getting there cards this week (source Moores Law is Dead)
