NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

I've come to the realisation that with how taxing RT actually is, the consoles will be doing some sort of cut down version of it. Considering the chips inside them will not be the full fat chips we will have running in PCs.

A 2080ti for example struggles with watchdogs legion at 1080p. We think a console will run it at 4k with RT in full glory?

The consoles are indeed using cut down (you can call it optimized) effects. For example they'll add in RT Reflections, but then add a data table with objects that get excluded from ray bounce calculations. You can see this in ratchet and clank when looking at a shiny floor, some objects in the field of view are simply missing from the reflection - thats how they "optimize" ray tracing on consoles. On PC that hasn't been happening, RT reflections = like a mirror, you see every little detail reflected.

As for performance, its much better in low framerate environment on Ampere. The RTX3090 has a 4x boost in performance over the Titan RTX in a path traced demo, this should translate into a game that could only run at 1080p 60fps with ray tracing on, now running at 4k 60fps with ray tracing on or higher once DLSS is enabled.
 
It will be basically the same, the original rumour of 2500mhz Core is not going to happen but 1000-2000 series were 1900-2000mhz Core in most cases and 2100mhz in good cases.

If it has any headroom for ocing. Plenty of suggestions doing the rounds these are pegged to their max out of the box, though remians to be seen.

I'm really hoping for these cards to be amazing.

From what I'm seeing there tends to be more of a negative trend with the 2080ti users which is natural , we don't really know what it's going to be like until released, I optimistically hope it's everything or almost everything that we want.

Its a bit bad that you 2080ti users are a bit shafted. I know the writing was probably on the wall, but still. I'm being serious not sarcastic.

AIB 3080 are already doing 2000mhz-2100mhz in game Out of the box, so how much higher can they go with a overclock? AIB 2080tis would run at 1850-1950mhz of the box
 
The way you put it in a previous post post was they would not OC 100-200mhz, so I do not get what you mean.

I am saying I seriously doubt a 3080 will not clock to same Core speed as a 1000-2000 series.
 
GB cards have gone up 10 quid over the night ;)

So, my card sold tonight for £350, it’s a brand new 2070 Super so a little disappointed with that. Buyer has a feedback of 2 so hoping they don’t pay. Probably could have got that on Facebook and not pay £35 fees plus PayPal fees. That leaves me about £300. Disappointed

what did you think you would get 2080ti's are going for 500 quid on ebay so 300 for a 2070 is about right a couple more weeks when the new cards come out the market will be flooded with cards you might not even get that.
