NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

From what I am reading the founders edition runs at 65c on FULL LOAD , if thats the case its pointless buying custom cards at such a high prices , I must admit I normally buy MSI Brand but I am not paying £829 for Graphics card that I can buy from NVIDIA direct for £650.00 that will run at the same speeds in my system as custom card.

Nope, don’t think so. Pretty sure from what I read it was 65c IDLE.

350watt is a lot of power draw to a card to cool. If 250watts is 80c at load on an aftermarket cooler then 350watt on a founders card is (my guess) a lot more than 65c at full load.

Also the reason the 380watt 3090 is so huge (huge hsf) and not tabelled a ‘Titan’
‘Titan’ cards are aimed at the professional market which run cool / quiet for long periods of time. A 380watt draw card will churn out a LOT of heat and will either be noisy or red hot (or both)

I'd like to think if this was the case then AMD might have had the nous to leak some numbers but they haven't, which leads me to believe they can't get near the 3080 :(

If you were AMD would you leak anything before reviews of the 3080 are out? There is a strategy for any product launch and one of the tactics is to not given out valuable info that could allow the competitor to change their pricing or specs before launch. There could be a leak once the reviews for the 3080 are out. In any case, I will wait for all cards to make an informed decision.

Reviews out later today? I expect it's going to be a story of: Brilliant performance, but user experience tempered by high power and heat. Prices look reasonable, but only against the unreasonably high 2000 series. Nvidia power efficiency improvements aren't enough, anyone can get high performance for high power, progress needs to come from more efficient architecture and silicon, not better coolers!

AMD have a great chance here, not to match the 3090 (which is irrelevantly expensive for almost everyone), but to be competitive with the 3080 at something like 220-250W and slightly cheaper.

Yes the power consumption this time around is not looking good and with die shrinks not yielding what they use to you are getting to the point where they make little difference, bigger chips and more power consumption plus more heat seems inevitable.

I assume you're referring to this:

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-founders-edition-flir-thermal-footage-leaks

The heatsink reaches 65 degrees Celsius from what appears to be 34.4C idle temperature. This is the temperature of the heatsink, where the cursor is pointing, not the highest temperature of the card. The PCB is clearly hotter, but the values have not been provided.

But I'm sure we will see better testing results come 2pm!

Flying out the doors mate! Can't keep up with stock levels etc etc, better hand that £850 over now as it may be months, weeks or just days before you can get your hands on another!

That's not technically true now is it, Nvidia isn't the only player in the market now hence the shaving of the release price of the 30x series this time which is being gouged by retailers, AMD is making their own triple fan array cards which they are not giving to AIB partners so that should stop whoever it is being greedy.
 
I was all in for a 3080 founders card a few days ago. But thinking I'll skip it now after a few days of thinking about it. Or It'll have to do really well in the reviews later.

My 2080 is still great for 3440x1440 @ 120hz and that's a 215/220W card. 320W TDP is like 50% more heat dumped into my case and my room I could do without.

It was 35c idle from what I saw?
