NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

[Mark1989]

Does make me wonder what retailers will do as any one buying a 2 series RTX card new now is bloomin daft.

Retailers will surely need to lower the cost asap to shift stock

will a 10700K/ PCIE3, will it bottleneck a 3070 for high frame rate 1440P gaming?

 

[JohnG7]

Not by anything substantial, Nvidia say a few % and its more down to your CPU than PCi-E 3.0.

Direct Q&A's from the horses mouth.


"Will customers find a performance degradation on PCIE 3.0?

System performance is impacted by many factors and the impact varies between applications. The impact is typically less than a few percent going from a x16 PCIE 4.0 to x16 PCIE 3.0. CPU selection often has a larger impact on performance.We look forward to new platforms that can fully take advantage of Gen4 capabilities for potential performance increases."

Just seen this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7nYy7ZucxM

Looks like the 3080 is between 35-45% higher in frame-rates in Doom vs a 2080TI

The best you'll get is educated speculation [Edit: or marketing talk] since there are zero benchmarks out there.

However, if you watch the digital foundry video on YouTube, they are literally using the same CPU which by definition is PCIe3, and there is a massive uplift in performance which is ultimately what this is all about.

Never did like the 2000 series, just not sure on CPU air coolers with that front fan blowing up but it may be the memory end of card so not as hot as rear end so like 5C warmer air hitting CPU area.

There was a lot of clear plastic shells on the 2000 series. Horrible for dust magnets.

Nvidia themselves say a few percent on even the 3090.

I have a 2080Ti which will be on par with the 3070. Get a few percent going from 8x to 16x pcie 3.0 so pcie 4.0 is highly unlikely to make much difference. That difference being made up by perhaps a faster gaming cpu.

You can even see DF testing a 3080 with a 10900k (pcie 3.0) and still getting double 2080 performance so I think the gains may be quite minimal.

The answer is in that quote and link above in my post.

If they're happy with 2 year old performance then surely they would have bought 2 year old performance from the start to save their money?

Some people like to dedicate more of their income to their hobbies than others.

Also some people are high earners so a high end GPU may cost them just one week's wages.

Or a day's rate

For those of you that have ordered a FE card before, where did it ship from and how long did it take to arrive?

Doom eternal is a piece of **** to run?

I had locked 120fps 3440*1440 max details on my 2080S.
Kudos to the engine team.

Well, the answer given by nVidia themselves. It makes sense but it *might* not be the complete picture.

Following, want to know this as well incase i do. Whats the usual timescale for dispatch.

Doesn’t take long. Usually within 2-3 days from order date.

I’ve had multiple cards from nvidia and they are usually dispatched same day and here the next or day after.

Cheers tyler, thats good to know.

Just for clarification for owners of new LG CX Panels 30 series WILL support 444 @ 10 BIT

https://twitter.com/zuzoxx/status/1301495409404260353?s=20

Confirmed in Reddit by Qi Lin - Product Manager at Nvidia

He actually just said it supports 10-bit HDR but did not confirm 444 support at 4k 120hz as the questioner asked.

Now perhaps 10-bit HDR implicitly means 444 but if, like me, you are using this point as a basis for your purchasing decision it's best just to wait for reviewers to confirm it.

2080Ti didn't become a bad card overnight, just a mid-range one

OUCH!

bottleneck, we've seen what happens when games try and cram loads of assets into vRAM

Keep in mind this may well be less of a problem very soon with Direct Storage/RTX IO whereby streaming textures and assets load like they do on next gen consoles. Meaning high levels of VRAM may actually be less of a need thanks to this technology..

Obviously this means those wanting to make use of it will need an NVMe SSD and a PCIE 4 mobo but this is starting to become the norm anyway for gaming systems so a sign of the way things are heading.
