NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

[beany_bot]

A few of us are thinking ahead tho to next years games and the year after that.

Not everyone wants to upgrade every gen.

Exactly, I typically upgrade every other gen. And the thought of having 10gb vram deep into 2022/23 just doesn't compute.

 

[ProStreet]

I reckon in a million years time it'd be pretty much a fossil, so the price would probably be pretty high indeed by then

a fossil fuel with all the heat it generates

 

[ProStreet]

Anyone know when we can expect YouTube reviews of the cards based on previous years?

 

[FloppyPoppy]

I only want a Graphics Card for Flight Sim 2020... I didn't realise what the exchange rate was like though, I might just be able to go for a 3080 if it comes in at £600.

Wouldn't bother... The game is going to run poorly even on this hardware launch most likely. It's got so much going on causing performance issues. I would get a used 1080ti or something if i was you and get an almost identical experience.

 

[varkanoid]

Yeah, that's for people who think their asses weren't already widened enough by the FE cards.

aye, ASUS Mars 3090 £2500.

based on rumours of reviewers getting founders cards this week id prob say before the week is out

Well I need to upgrade my rig anyway as it struggles now with software I use, it's a 10 year old 6GB RAM i7 930 rig

Struggles with Adobe Premiere Pro as that needs 8gb minimum. I had no intention of upgrading with gaming in mind until FS2020 came out though.

 

[Pottsey]

All this talk about the new cards has me wondering. Does anyone know what happened to the game "Stay in the Light" as far as I am aware its the first real ray tracing game as in ray tracing is a minimum requirement. It seems to have vanished off Steam and well everywhere. Came out Dec 2019 had a bunch of patch's but fast forward 7 months and its vanished. What happened?

 

[Yaayuh!]

Yeah, that's for people who think their asses weren't already widened enough by the FE cards.

 

[chaparral]

It seems Asus are having a launch event 2 hours later.

They given us 2 hours for us to get over Nvidia 3000 series prices and then there going to tell us there ROG price

 

[labbby]

Looking forward to the Asus 3090 ugotfisted edition

 

[Joxeon]

Not in a million years. It'll be £800 min.

If it's closer to the 3090 than the 3070 then I wouldn't be supprised if it come in for 1k.

 

[blasterbolt]

Yes. I bought Turing for its raster performance; RTX wasn't relevant.

same for me . If the 3090 comes in at 40%+ fps over the 2080 ti then take my money !! if it can manage 40% + with rtx then thats a bonus for the few games I actually play with rtx.

I would certainly recommend Zen 2 then with an X570 board. Not only for the PCI 4.0 on the GPU but im pretty sure stuff like premiere gets a huge benefit from using faster drives. Such as pci 4.0 nvme drives.. Plus the core/£.

Just my opinion though.

 

[ALXAndy]

This slide may explain just why they are releasing a 3090.

We all know RT was crap on the 20 series. Total crap. If the 3080 is not twice as good as it? there is why your 3090 at £1400.

I just hope that this isn't going to be an enormous disappointment. If that is the best cherry they can pick though? then yeah....

I can see why they are so worried about AMD.

1x 2080 Ti is great as it can just about maintain 4K 60fps in a lot of games but there is a few it struggles with and falls a bit short in games like the division 2 on occasions. I only need a little bit more power to make sure I can always hit a minimum of 4K 60fps in the games I want and the 3090 should more than do that comfortably.

Haven't played GTA V in many, many months but even at 4K it should still give a nice boost over one 2080 Ti as it scales decently well with 2x 2080 Ti's still.

Ray tracing performance boost is what I'm really looking forward to and the 3090 could be shaping up to be really strong at that, soon find out tomorrow though.

I play GTA V maxed out at 4K with 4x TXAA, and 2 2080 Tis struggle in areas with grass. This means that a single 3090 might also struggle.

I might go with 2 3090s in SLI, so I can almost guarantee a minimum of 60 FPS in all games at 4K.

 

[ProStreet]

How many games actually support SLI still?

 

[Raiden85]

You do get the odd rare SLI supported game but it's so rare it's not worth the cost and I've gone SLI on every Ti card since the 780 Ti, did SLI the regular 980's as well though. It's one card for me this time. SOTTR is the best example there is, incredible SLI scaling while using DX12 and even ray tracing at the same time, just a shame all devs don't put that much work in to their games.

It will be at £600 for sure... when £ goes back to $2...

If two 2080tis can't do that it's not because the cards are bad it's because the engine is ****
