NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

[N19h7m4r3]

MSI Ventus there are no holes on the back. The question is whether it is bad or good.

I noticed that. MSI are kind of the odd one out for the big brands.

Will be interesting to see if it has better, or worse cooling than the rest.

Sapphire have had that blow through design since the Fury, and even with Vega Use it.
Powercolour also did similar with the Fury, and Vega with gaps in the heatsink to blow through.

As for the 3080s.

Many have cut outs, and the likes of Gigabyte actively advertise that blow through

Galax






KFA2/Galax clip on fan for that rear cutout to have even more air flow.




Inno3d




Asus




Zotac

I thought you were going to post pictures of cards pre Ampere. Would i be right in assuming that the pre-ampere cards you were referring to are similar to the images you have posted?

Apart from the KFA2, the air coming out of the top will be slower than the FE cards (IMO significantly slower). From what i could see all the designs have air going travelling as such: Fan > radiator> perforated backplate. The radiator and perforated backplate will slow down the air flow.

The FE card also has a shroud that stops air from spilling out the sides of the cards and just funnels it all through the fan which forms a column of hot air (The Nvidia images for the new design show this). Unlike the cards you've pictured that allow the air to spill out into the case from the side of the GPU and mix with the ambient air, before passively rising to the CPU cooler.


I think the KFA2 with the additional fan clipped in place will have the same effect as the FE cards. The temperature rise may be lower due to the lack of the shroud that the FE card has.

No thats what Nvidia claims. Might be true. Might not be,.

Gamers Nexus still reported it. I don’t think they would have repeated the claim if they had found any evidence of some other issue.

Nope they wont

TBH i can only see it as problem with my Memory overclock cause.




I got Fan standing on my Titans backplate blowing air directly on to DDR modules. Will need to check Stability after upgrade of memory 2 hours of memory testing hehe. Possible ill need to bump volts a bit ram. Will investigate.


@Adrian1976 this is what I consioder proper Overclockers cooling while at it poped ya photo of my passive radiator with 2l bottle next to it so ya see what sort of cooling power im talking about. Had to move stuff that stands in front of it to grab photo.



@humbug what ya think ?? hahahaha

I'll stick with my 360 front rad, no intention of water cooling an AIB card, I'd get an FE for that if I wanted to.

Probably because the hot air will be focused into a smaller area right into the CPU cooler and over the ram.

Just stick a bit of cardboard in between them, use sellotape to hold it in place if it's blowing about

guru3d already "accidentally" put up a 3080 benchmark

that's what happens when you move the NDA, people forget or don't get the news and think the first NDA still applies

MSI Ventus are the budget coolers without zero-fan-idle mode.

I don't have that game and I'm not paying £7.19 to run the same benchmark with my 2080ti. Anyone have it and a 2080ti?

Think a 2080Ti hits around 40-45ish with dlss + rtx. Not really the best optimised title going so hard to judge.

So that points to a 30-40% uplift in that title's benchmark?

Reviews are going to be VERY interesting. If AMD have brought it this year at the high end, NVIDIA are in trouble which would explain why NVIDIA's pricing stategy is so forgiving this yeae.

 

[NirK]

Does anyone know, as this would have the newest DP 1.4++, would this be able to do DP > HDMI 2.0B just with a passive DP > HDMI cable?

OR would I need something like the CAC-1080 active adapter?

For getting a signal to my TV which can do 4k60 HDR 4:2:2, would I need an active adapter, or would it be ok using a passive cable due to the card having DP 1.4++?

Anyone able to give me any info on this?

Is that at 1440p?

It his 2080ti 45fps number is at 1440p using the same settings then the 3080 is 50% faster in this RT+DLSS benchmark

And if it's at 4K then it's not looking good.
