NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

[dsima27]

Was going to buy the 3090 but now decided to get the 3080 then sell it when the 3080ti comes out.

That’s my plan, too.

I’ll look to upgrade when the new Ryzen chips arrive.

found out apparantly there will not be any preorders for the 30x series according to reddit Q&A with nvidia

Thanks I assume that's for all cards too

Seems 3090 is very much a titanf the wording with 3080ti to slot in between at a layer date

Question is do I go founder or aib..

More likely to see a 3090 Ti using the full fat GA102 chip and there will be a Titan lurking in the wings.

When Turing launched there was absolutely no mention of a Titan but it showed up a couple of months later.

Same. Plan on getting 3080 and keeping my 1080Ti. Will probably sell my 1070 dirt cheap though.

I said needs dude. There is a big difference between that and what people want.

Back here in reality my three 20 series cards have not changed. They didn't grow warts and can still all run games easily at 1440p (my res of choice).

I can play RDR2 on either of the XB1X I have.

Jen is good at this. Making you think your existing card is a load of old rubbish and how you must sell it at a loss and rush out and buy his latest one. Why would I? I could sit here and bench every game I have (Which is totally different to the ones I actually play !) and smash my monitor's 144hz sync rate.

So Jen is doing every one a huge favour? or could it simply be a worried pre emptive strike against the upcoming consoles, which too target 4k 60. Only, the 3070 will be at its limits at 4k 60, due to the 8gb of VRAM. Meaning, the console for ever so slightly more is the better option. The 3080? still costs more than I reckon the entire console unit will cost, NVME, GPU, CPU and all.

All he has done is drop price to perf back down to Pascal and every one is losing their minds.

I don't want to sit and play my game collection at higher FPS. I really have no ambition to do so. Nothing in this release will make games better.

I think you're looking at this this from a very selfish point of view. I prefer higher FPS (eyes) so more horsepower the better. Plenty of people gave the 20XX series a miss so a 3070 or 3080 could a big or even massive upgrade for a decent price.

Not sure why you seem so annoyed.

I meant wants tbh, I agree this is simply a return to sane or rather less insane pricing rather than the second coming of Christ. I'm just pleasantly surprised that AMD back in the game means Nvidia aren't taking the P like they have been for a while. I'm waiting until November/Xmas before buying either way as I think AMD are going to bring an interesting offer with RDNA2 as well as the consoles.

Agreed, 3080 now as I've waited long enough. I won't mind the couple hundred quid hit to trade up to the Ti if the performance jump is there.

Yeah I noticed the NVidia website has the cards listed as "Available from September 17th" for the 3080 and "Available from September 24th" for the 3090. I reckon they must have pretty solid inventory to go down that route.

I remember when the 2080 Super was launched it was available right away, no pre order etc.

 

[FloatingPoint]

Pricing is still too high, especially with such a small PCB (which is a good thing) 256bit bus on 3070 is a bit lacklustre 21 years later. Especially the obvious variance for up-sell purposes.

If the 3080 had been the same price as the 3070 it would be a classic product.

Annnnddd the award for: "Most Insecure Poster With Obviousr Inferiority Complex Of The Month" goes to... *drumroll*

I'm not arguing anymore with a guy that has a budget system trying to debate different classes of pc builder. I'm logging off. I'll only be back for new hardware maybe in a few months, literally check my posts I log out after arguments and never come back. Bye.

 

[Slinky69]

I wonder if we will see good discounts on the 2080 now?

 

[LeMson]

tempted by 3080 but not enough vram, will wait on the 20gb models or 4000 series >_<

Ok sure... but you're only further proving my point.

Anyone else think that the competitiveness of this generation may well signal that Nvidia know AMD have something that can go toe to toe brewing??

Possible but frankly I think the main reason they've gone aggressive this time is they want everyone to move to RTX.

Turing was underwhelming for most people and led to a catch-22 situation where people didn't see the point of RTX without titles that supported it and the game devs had no pressing need to add support for it when the installed base of RTX cards was so small.

Look how they opening the event with RTX support for Fortnite, tells you all you need to know. They want RTX to be the must-have feature.

There's obviously a gap for a 3080 Super/Ti. They may be holding it back until AMD announce something, just in case it beats a 3080. Either that or they're just repeating Pascal, waiting a few months then releasing it.

Hardly a few months, was nearly a year between Pascal launch and the 1080Ti. I may wait to see if AMD pull something out of the bag which might force an early 3080Ti launch but I frankly doubt they will. In that case then I'll do what others have already said and go 3080 then upgrade if and when a Ti appears - not waiting a year lol.

Yeh ampere refresh with more ram might be good. Give the 3070 and 3080 super 12gb and 16gb respectively.

Pretty sure that's exactly how these cards are supposed to work, to push you up to the next teir for thinking exactly that!

Quadro Ampere RTX 4000?

Yep will prolly end up with a ps5 in the end ^_^

I am thinking the same thing as well!

 

[elroberto]

In Ray Tracing, big caveat that...

Yep, because according to their graph the 2080ti was a 100% improvement on the 1080ti. We all know that's nonsense. I think there's going to be some dissapointed people when the reviews break...and if Big Navi really is bringing it this gen expect to see snippets in a week or two to put a damper on the sales. I really do hope the 3070 has the performance, it would be the perfect card for me as an editing/occasional gaming card but without Raytracing and DLSS I'm not sure I'm ready to believe little leather jacket man just yet.
