Ladies and gents, we have our third confirmation of NVIDIA’s Ampere-based graphics card launching in 2020. While we previously knew they were going to launch in 2020, we didn’t know which half and thanks to the report by Igor’sLab we know it’s going to be sooner rather than later. Leaked EEC certification and a report by Taiwan’s top tech publication Digitimes puts the Ampere graphics card on Samsung’s 7nm node and will represent a significant performance upgrade over Turing counterparts.

Just finished off Exodus again, at Ultra Settings, with Ultra RT, @ UW 3440x1440, and it ran bloody great, much faster than my old Vega 64 ran it, on only High settings, no RT (obviously), so yes, these cards are utter **** at RT, can't run it at all :p

NVIDIA Ampere Rumors : Massive RT Performance Uplift, Higher Clocks, More vRAM & Lower TDP vs. Turing

NVIDIA Ampere RTX 3000 Series GPUs Rumored to Feature Improved Rasterization & "Massive" Ray Tracing Performance Improvement Over Turing
One of the very first things that NVIDIA allegedly wanted to communicate to its partners was that it's still definitely all-in on ray tracing. Ray tracing was NVIDIA's main pitch for why you, I and everyone else should buy an RTX 2000 series graphics card. However, in the vast majority of cases we've seen to date ,the performance is simply not there yet to get most people excited about Ray Tracing.

This is said to be changing with Ampere. The company is promising "massive" ray tracing performance improvements across the board with the next generation RTX 3000 series parts as compared to the current flock of Turing RTX 2000 series graphics cards. Ampere's Ray Tracing cores will be faster, more power efficient and Ampere GPUs will have more of them as compared to Turing.

I don't know why everyones going to be going for these over the 2s, because of the better RT performance, when they all keep spouting that theres only about 2 games using it, and its utter ****, so theres no bloody point :p

RTX is the name of Nvidias 20 series cards, its to differentiate them from the GTX series, as the 'R' denotes that they can do Hardware Ray Tracing (which the GTX cards can't, they can only do Software), and the Ray Tracing is called DXR, so when you see the Ray Tracing videos, with the RTX On logos, that doesn't mean Ray Tracing On, it means, Nvidias cards, with hardware that can do Ray Tracing, which is their RTX cards, have the Ray Tracing, which is the DXR, switched On.

Theres a thread on Guru about RDR2, people saying, because it hasn't got Ray Tracing, then its not going to be RTX optimized, which is wrong, as it will be RTX optimized, seen as RTX, is the name of Nvidias 20 series cards, so the game will be optimized for those cards, the Game Ready driver will come out, and it will have said optimizations in it, its the DXR thats not going to be optimized, as the game doesn't have DXR ( Ray Tracing) in it.

Nvidia is slowly but steadily preparing the launch of their ampere generation GPUs, allegedly starting March 2020, the first models will be out for data-centers. Geforce 3000 for desktop PCs would appear in June. This is reported by the Chinese website HKEPC, citing Chris Caso, an analyst with Raymond James.

Accordingly, Nvidia's in-house GTC (GPU Technology Conference, March 22-26, 2020) will initially feature data center GPUs, such as ampere-based Tesla accelerator cards with a focus on scientific computation and artificial intelligence algorithms.

This means around Computex in June 2020 the first consumer variants with Ampere chips would see the light of day. The launch would involve the high-end cards first and slower models. Pascal was manufactured in the 16nm FinFET Variation, Turing is produced in 12nm FinFET, Ampere is said to be manufactured at Samsung on 7nm - using its Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) method 7nm+. In comparison to Turing, the clock rates could be increased by 200 to 300 MHz. 7nm makes transistors smaller, and that allows for more transistors to be placed on a chip. It is expected that Ampere will offer significantly more Raytracing cores than Turing did.

Didn't we have the same info for Turing last time around and it ended up being September? Mountain of salt needed!
