NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

The good thing is there not even 1 game out at the moment that needs a more powerful GPU then what already available..

Switching from the CV1/1080Ti to the HP Reverb/2080Ti would almost let me break-even with settings in Project Cars 2... and I'm only running medium-ish settings.

I want to run higher settings *and* a better VR HMD, and there's nothing on the market that can do that now.
 
Digitimes is reporting that Nvidia has gone to TSMC and bought all remaining 7nm production for Q2 2020. Nvidia is ramping up production for Ampere

I'll have the popcorn on standby when they release pricing for this series.

Most of my popcorn's turned green, as I haven't much felt much like eating after each RRP has been announced in recent years.

I realised today it won't be called 3080 series, it will clash with amd cpus

What else could they call it?
4080?
2180?

The Raytracing GPU 2 - Please Don't Focus on Rasterisation Edition.
 
I am really struggling whether I should build a home gaming desktop with AMD 4000 and 3080Ti and then just enjoy it for the next 3-5 years (which actually makes it a reasonably palatable investment)... or wait for the notebook version and buy a badass gaming laptop (which will last me less time and is more prone to unfortunate accidents like me spilling drinks on it).

I said I would never build another desktop system, but that was before AMD came back on the scene and now I think the chances of getting an AMD 4000 mobile CPU with a high-end Nvidia GPU are pretty much negligible for the forseeable future thanks to Intel's pressure on their partners.

I am leaning towards the desktop option, which would likely be overkill but would last me ages even at 4k resolution with the games I like to play. I could also run a 20m HDMI cable to my living room TV and have the option to game in there on the big screen if/when I wanted.

If only there was an external GPU enclosure with connectivity that had no loss of performance... it would make things much simpler as I could then get a notebook like the AMD G14 and have the best of both worlds. Sigh.

I would wait and see how much latency drops and how well gaming performance improves with 4000 series. Difficult to say if it will do for x amount of time, Intel may come back and bring big leaps again in 1-2 years.. But that "may" is basically who knows.

What do you mean 'latency' with the 4000 series? The Zen2 are on a par with Intel at gaming, faster in multi-core/threaded applications and Zen3 will be approx 15% faster. They are also significantly cheaper. It's a no-brainer if you want something to last the next few years.
