** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES NOW ONLINE AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (3090 / 3080 / 3070) **

[Outcasst]

I reckon they wont be that high on the 3080. 3090 will have the highest sliders. 500W I reckon.

I meant the 3090 specifically, but since the majority of boards are going to be identical between the 3080 and 3090 variants I would have thought they'd be capable of doing the same sort of power limits on both.

I'm just not sure if we're going to be able to flash custom BIOS's down the line when they eventually come out. NVIDIA seem to lock these cards down tighter and tighter every generation.

Are the nvidia versions of these cards going live at 2pm tomorrow?

You having a laugh?

that'll be the 17th at 2pm uk time either nvidia or any retailer for the 3080 XD

Thought the nvidia website was 14th for some reason and 17th for aib

Are we going to need a pcie4 MB to make the most of the 3090

 

[JohnG7]

No, more what CPU you have (from NV Q&A I posted somewhere here).

Sorry I answered a question that wasn't a question, More of a statement. Dang phone

I don’t believe pci express 4 is needed for th graphics side as a 2080ti doesn’t even fully utilise a pci 3 x16 slot.

but I do think pci express 4 will be used a lot on the direct access part later on in its life I can see pci 4 ssd and gpu being a massive benefit over pci 3

 

[JohnG7]

Remember PC-E 3.0 16x GPU's was fine on PCI-E 2.0 x16 (same bandwidth as PC-E 3.0x8) for long enough.

It will as above user said be needed down the line but remember how late we are in getting PC-E 4.0, it was supposed to be skipped for 5.0 but AMD for some reason decided to use it.

FYI. 6.0 was just announced.

 

[Outcasst]

We'll have to see how RTX IO works out. Could see a huge benefit with PCI-E 4.0 SSDs but I'm guessing adoption rate of this tech among game developers is going to be few and far between.

 

[mattyg]

Thats good. Otherwise it'll be expensive.

More expensive.

Yeah I expect that it will look good, show good gains but will never really get used this gen and it will be next gen when it shines.

I can see them limiting it to PCI-E 4.0 drives tbh, cuts down on a lot of potential issues.

I've said this in another thread but I'll repeat it here.

It's not about the sustained throughput, it is about the burst requirements through the bus to/from the card. There are peaks and troughs, and the peaks can sometimes hit a card hard, consider the bandwidth that the new 3090 has for its RAM, and then look at what is required to feed that, then you'll see why the peaks are the important part.

The 16x PCI-E 3.0 is able to supply 15,760 MB/s as a theoretical maximum, the RTX 3090 memory bandwidth is much greater than that, and much, much greater than any other card before it.

You already see quite large advantages in non-gaming applications on the RX 5700XT in PCI-E 4.0 vs 3.0 mode and that is a much slower card in comparison to a 3090, or 3080.

Too many people on here making assumptions based on no info, and no real world knowledge of the cards, or the technology.

 

[JohnG7]

I will take the info from the NV Q&A until I see a good few reviews, but thanks anyway.

"UPDATE: https://imgur.com/a/4wDiMQ0 - 2nd customer rep has said warranty will NOT BE VOID when installing a waterblock, provided no damage occurs, and does not matter if you live in Canada or the USA. There is overlap and repetition of the message on the picture so as to show it's one continuous message. Also added a second email as I asked them again, which also says not voided. That's a total of 4 separate Nvidia reps now."

Things can't be that bad if nvidia is presenting all it's 308p benchmarks on an intel i9 pci-e 3

They really don't want to be doing a presentation with the words AMD plastered all over the bottom of the slides though do they? Saying that AMD makes things work faster would be terrible, and as long as the Intel PCI-E 3.0 shows it does a great job, it doesn't have to be the best job.

 

[JohnG7]

You should get a PR job with AMD.
