NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

[KiNgPiN83]

So are there going to be Ti and S versions or are they simplifying things this time round? I guess a 3090 is a given?

Although didn’t the S’s only come out to spoil AMD’s party when they released 5700’s? In effect shifting the AMD’s down a tier?

the 3080 already hitting £639

It is?

Few days ago was before they announced the 3000 series cards. People weren't expecting nvidia to drop the price of the new cards to more reasonable levels, they also weren't expecting the 3070 to beat a 2080ti by some margin.

We also have to wait to see if its concrete. If there were RTX 'on', DLSS helping out or other twists then people will be disappointed if it only beats it in certain conditions.

A 3070 is £469 and beats a 2080ti. So you have to account for that.

Lol. It doesnt beat it by some margin. Its on a Nvidia graph and is a micro fraction higher than the 2080ti in relative performance so will beat a 2080ti only with DLSS and RTX on.

In general you are right though be no need to exaggerate!

come on @Gibbo. How much are the KFA2 clown cards? Did they get close to £600? be impressed if so.

Will wait to see what AMD does first.

It's the only sensible play at this point!

Says the guy that bought a 2080ti

Not an issue normally but I am flat broke lol

 

[Vertigo]

Yep it's all nonsense, mainly from AMD fanboys. RTX IO is a different matter though.

 

[Journey]

I see the RTX 2070 Super are already at ~£370

 

[Greebo]

Clown card just listed. link broken though so no price. Palit coming in at £639. What a launch!

Maybe Lisa can tempt you over to the dark side this gen geeza?

 

[beany_bot]

Cheapest so far is the Palit https://www.overclockers.co.uk/pali...dr6x-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-05d-pl.html
Clown card has an extra fan on the back so isn't that cheap. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/detail/index/sArticle/87254

If I can get around £270 for mine used, then I'll consider an upgrade to a 3070. Depends if they're truly 2080ti performance or only with RTX on.

That depends on whether you care what AMD do or not. For some people who are invested into GSync, for example, it won't matter.

Surprised at the clown card going for an extra fan on the base card. These things must generate some hell of lot of heat!

That is a beefy mother of a cooler.

*Looks at 980Ti KFA2...(now considers the 3080).

 

[tyler_jrb]

Wut? Seems a big premium $500 for maybe 5% -10% more performance is 'some' situations. Specs seem far too close to spend the extra on the 3090 to me.

It has 20% more cudas and more faster memory. As well as more tensor and RTX stuff. So we could be talking 30-40%.

For me it depends how fast it is. As no doubt if I buy a 3080 I’ll get burned and want a 3080Ti when that is released. I’ve had that happen before hense why I went 2080Ti last time .

What is this IO? No time to watch, so a TL-DR would be sweet thanks

You think 2080ti owners have had a tough past 24 hours. I guy in the members market was expecting a 1080ti and got delivered a curry instead, spicy.

Don't regret buying one bit, I've had the best out of gaming the last year, upgraded my monitor to UW 1600p and enjoyed that as well.
