NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

If theres enough made to go round it wont be a bad wait for some. If they are also in short volume its not going to make the situation any better.

Worse case scenario is still no cards in stock yet have another two tiers that are more expensive than the existing 3080.

Yeah, availability may still suck but the 3070Ti 'shouldn't' be more expensive than the 3080.

True but if they continue to produce the other models on Samsung and produce the new ones on TSMC then that might help to alleviate the supply issues a little?

  • 3080Ti > £750
  • 3070Ti > £600

Be lucky if the 3080ti is not pushing £900-1000 MSRP. But I can see that for the 3070ti.

Is this confirmed I didn't see anything in the article and recent reports suggested they were moving production to TSMC?

About as hopeful as they come. AMD's poor volume to buy has not alleviated the stock issue if anything its worse than originally anticipated.

Yeah but AMD's issue was the Xbox and Playstation and Ryzen 5000 series. I have no doubt that had AMD been just producing graphics cards (say this time next year) they could have churned them out in substantial numbers

The performance difference will be so small that it's basically just a stupidly-expensive vram insurance policy that will pay out in very specific situations (like custom texture packs) and leave you high and dry in others. (GPU horsepower limitations)

I would pay a little extra for some vram insurance, but not anywhere near that much.

It's still good to have options. The vram-preppers can spend crazy money on their custom-texture-pack nuke bunkers while the rest of us spend much less and risk the comming vram apocalypse.
 
Basically from the 6900 reviews, if you care about 4k and want to use RT with DLSS, then you go with Nvidia as with these features enabled they understandably destroy the AMD cards. If you want the best 1080p and 1440p and don't use RT then go AMD.

Yeah but that doesn't help the fact of the status quo, its an excuse that means nothing to people wanting a new GPU..

Even then this only applies if you can pick them up for £529 or £599 respectively. Otherwise your 3070/80 FE are the better option Im afraid as the AIB prices are just silly right now.

Yup, it’s like all the influencers saying how much of a beast the 6800XT Red Devil card is, I looked up the MSRP and nearly fell off my chair -$800+tax so £780-800 inc vat in the U.K.

It may well be a beast but they can keep it for the 30+% mark up on the original cards price.

Those prices were rock bottom FE basis, we all know the AIB versions and scalpers price are north of £900.

I've taken delivery of Ventus, FE, ASUS TUF and ASUS Strix since release and not one of them were north of £900 lol.

And before anyone asks why so many, Ventus faulty returned, TUF sold on at cost in MM once I got my FE and Strix for my sister. Strix most expensive at £837.
