NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

Hmm which one do I like the best?

All nice lookers to be fair.

Do you really spend enough time admiring the aesthetics of a graphics card to warrant asking that question? Get the one that reviews the best within the budget you have, shirley?

The Touring 2nd hand market is just utterly destroyed at this point... I mean who would buy a 2080s for 490 2nd hand? It really stinks to be stuck with these cards, however, people have been warned.

I put my 2080ti up for sale a few days before the event but accidentally listed at 7 days, so now I'm worried the highest bidder will create a throw away account just to outbid themselves and not have to pay on their main account...

if i cant use the psu thats less then a year old I might not get a 3080 then. talking like 800 by the time im done :(

Depends on the rest of your system, but you might be OK.
Try plugging your system details into a system build tool and checking the power requirements. I think you'll be OK with a 650W. My last build (Ryzen 3800X, 64GB, 2080Ti) comes out around 480W. I have a 750 but a 650 would probably do it.

Well exactly.

I specced up a new PC build for my brother a couple of months ago, and told him then it wasn't the best time both economically and performance wise to be buying, with both new CPU's and GPU's relatively imminent, but he needed one right away.

The 2070S he bought could have been a 3070, massively more powerful, and for £50 less, but there you go.

Point is, it's been known for months new tech was coming.

At this point, I want the $700 price point to be 60% faster than my years-old 1080ti.

I don't care what "tier" they call it. I don't care what numbers they use for the name.

I posted this at the beginning of June.^ It's like Nvidia actually wants my money this time. (And I really want to give it to them now that they are offering real progress)

The clock is ticking AMD....

Guys if you have to buy a new PSU for the next gen (I'm only on 550W), would you go for 750 W or 850 W? There isn't a great deal of price difference.

Rule Number one when it comes to building a PC.

Never, EVER, skimp on a PSU.

Beautiful! I had that one too. :D



But I'm gonna guess people with a 5 GB/s 3.0 x4 NVMe will be fine. I can't seem to validate if it's 4.0 only or not.

Yea that's a question I am looking for an answer for. But how much faster is a PCIe3 vs PCIe4 NVME?

I would have thought the whole point of this technology is to get the most out of what is available and avoid the IO bottleneck.

I have a 970 Evo nvme which is fast. I cant imagine it's not 'fast enough'.

funny that when it comes to gaming and CPU’s a few percent means nothing in the CPU section according to some?

It still matters though. The reason why it's dismissed is the expectation of games being more GPU limited and not CPU limited. But overall Intel still beats AMD in performance in games right now with the latest offerings. It's just that AMD is now more competitive. And as you can see, that's all people wanted.

Intel sat on their laurels and didn't push out the latest and greatest HW: Updates to USB, network nic, PCIe, etc were needed then. And the fable return of the PS/2 (as interrupts to the cpu have lower latency then 1000hz polling rate). Have all been asked, known about in that space for over 5 years now. Intel refused to budge. This time they might focus on a serious "Gaming Platform" (motherboard) next gen once they get their 10nm/7nm in order.

So I hope AMD will get it together for this next gen Ryzen. But I digress. AMD hit it out the park with support with PCIe4 early. Funny how Nvidia needs AMD to promote their cards right now.

But what's going to tell the truth is if Intel's cpu is going to provide better performance at pcie 3 versus slower Ryzen with pcie 4. We will soon find out.
