NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

- Start date
Very much expecting to be disappointed in a few hours time. Only really interested in the 3070. Sick of the xx60 and below gimp-tier cards (Stagnation Class).
Expecting £600+ and not actually beating a 2080 Ti. Perhaps falling short by ~15%. RT performance still a bit of a damp squib on anything below the 3090.
Anyone prepared to be more optimistic?

anyone spotted the Sydney Opera Sails on the Aorus card ???
Look at leaked Snap of Fans, at the top of the left and right fan, carefully look between the blades and the frame mount. you'll see wind breakers attached to what looks like the blades but is the frame.
Blades about 25% longer then Previous version due to curve ( or taking MSI design with Windforce grooves)
Least Heatsink has 50% more growth then older 20** Aorus cards. Love my 2080 version but 2080ti would have driven me mad !

The issue for me Turing was a price rise,and the Supers moved it closer to where it should have been.or like last gen titans the new 3090 can be had for £2399, more you buy more you save, if the 1k price ends up being real i may get 2 for the lol's
If it's another price rise over overpriced original Turing RRPs but faster,it doesn't mean much,ie,an RTX3060 now starts at £400 for example. £250 was how much the best 60 series GPU started at in 2016. The GTX960 was under £200.
But,but all the reviewers will say the RTX3060 at £400 is faster than the old card. It's cheap! Then they stroke all the GPUs they don't pay for!Very much expecting to be disappointed in a few hours time. Only really interested in the 3070.

Pretty much this unfortunately

£500 and within 5%
Not going to lie I'm somewhat excited for this release. I won't be getting them on release but will more than likely buy a pre-built Overclockers machine in a month or so if these cards are offered in there, then I need to see what difference PCIe3 vs 4 offers and when the new Intel chips etc will come out. Been a while since I got a new PC 
Freudian slip?

I don't think it will be that bad.
A £600 3070 would be silly (would mean the RRP is more like $699).
I doubt the price brackets will move much from the super range to be honest.
I'm expecting a 3070 with around 2080ti performance for £450-£500.
just looked on twitter and there are sugestions the nvidia prices could be lower than leaked as there could be a very big threat from amd's rdna2, nothing concrete yet though.
would be nice if the prices were closer to 1k, not long to find that out

Good! Then they would have learnt that taking the Mickey with Turing original launch prices a second time, especially with what is happening in 2020 doesn't make any sense. Just look at how successful the 8800GT and GTX970 were when they made good price/performance parts!

It would be nice if prices were closer to £1k...NVidia truly have altered the market perception
Hahahahahahahaha
Yea, that would be good. Those prices actually make sense, unlike all the rumors and people's expectations here.
Yep. Same here. At most the 3070 will be 5-10% slower on launch but in new games that gap will close and the 3070 eventually will be better as Ampere gets driver optimisations and Turing is forgotten just like it happened with Maxwell and Pascal.

Prices are usually straight dollars to pounds to incorporate rip off Britain tax.
I'll be pretty amazed if the 3070 is any less than £600.

Its a 1080p/1440p card, wont be gimped at all.
If they do come lower than expected then the smart choice would be to resist and wait till AMD plays their hand.just looked on twitter and there are sugestions the nvidia prices could be lower than leaked as there could be a very big threat from amd's rdna2, nothing concrete yet though.

I'm really curious as to what AMD has that is spooking Nvidia to this extent. This image comes to mind
If same tier keeps same price then that would be good for me. But good is all relative.
a) It was only a tongue-in-cheek observation about how people are speculating but implying it's irrefutable fact
b) I don't understand people who arbitrarily pooh pooh other people's posts
c) I must have missed the bit where this was designated as a "hype train and speculation thread" rather than something where someone might have been able to come and find out actual facts.
But hey, thanks for policing.
