NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

Good call, my resolve to wait for RDNA2 is waning but I'm waiting on a 5K bonus so will stay strong.

Well the Boardman Gravel bike I'm integrated in is OOS everywhere and no indication of when it'll be back in stock, so **** it, my birthday is in October so I'll treat myself.

I game at 1440p UW 100Hz so the 3080 should run that nicely.

Not like I haven't got a bike already to plod along in. :)

Same, can't justify the 3090 unless I go OLED ;)

I already got the OLED, ok it's not in my office/man cave but downstairs, but I can always take my PC down now and then now that I sold my huge case and got a smaller one :D

Where has Grim gone by the way? So much for my Nvidia hating and AMD loving rubbish he kept going on about. What nonsense. Just because I see RTX on the 2000 series for what it was :p
 
Gutted the Ti didn't get announced. Although the prices were high last time around, i kind of liked that the Ti was the top gaming focused card for 2yrs. In the past top end cards last around a year because of the xx80-xx80ti cycle.

I was watching this announcement with my eyes on the 3090, but now i'm not so sure. 3080sli would be very tempting. But i think i may end up waiting on the Ti this time around.

Those CUDA count numbers are insanely high - will be some beast if it is true. The 2080ti page shows NVIDIA CUDA Cores count as 4352: https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/graphics-cards/rtx-2080-ti/

Because they added an instruction to the shaders, CUDA cores are just a made up name, if you have 4352 shaders with 2 instructions you can call them CUDA cores and you have X2 the number of CUDA cores to put on your marketing stuff.

4352 actual becomes 8704 marketing.
 
Looking at the raw Tflops and ignoring the RT and tensor cores (which are for RT and DLSS, something lots of games do not support) the 3090 has 36 Tflops. The 3080 has 30 and the 3070 has 20.

The 2080Ti has 28.5.

Ti will be $850-900 i'd reckon around January.

You are only getting them this cheap because AMD has a nvidia killer or because Samsung 8nm is stupid cheap.

It is more about pulling Pascal owners and the 3090 for those who'll open their wallets - they'll likely aim for Turing owners on a refresh.

EDIT: That and giving themselves space to manoeuvre on AMD's release.

If the above is true then AMD is well and truly dead on the gpu front.

I hope it’s not a website typo as 10k cuda cores is seriously impressive!

I'm certain it's a bit too early to write AMD off in the GPU space :p

We literally know nothing about RDNA2.
