You could buy a dirt cheap 1070 or so to tide you over... but yeah, it would be a big downgrade for a few months!But then I wouldn't be able to play games.

NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

I hear they will be ONLY £2995!I think I’ll go Titan this time if/when available.
You know that will be where the smart money likely will be. It will likely be 40% slower than the 3080Ti and be 1/3rd the priceRTX 3070 for me if the price and performance is there....
I am hoping I won't need that extra 40% performance as I cap my fps at 60 anyways which is plenty for the types of games I play.
End of the day if 2080Ti which people love right now for it's beastly performance will not suddenly chance in a few months. We will just be able to get it much cheaper, it will run cooler and quieter, have much better RT performance and drivers that will get all the attention and performance improvements for the next approximately 24 month's. Win!

You won't be able to resist the extra Gigarays on the 3080Ti

Sod paying that much for a 3080Ti if it's the usual price, the only way i would pay that much is if the performance scaled with the price.. which I'm betting it won'tYou won't be able to resist the extra Gigarays on the 3080Ti

Same, the 1080Ti was very nearly there in terms of performance. When I got the 2080Ti it got to what I needed and I haven’t required or desired any more performance since then playing at 4k 60hz and 1440p 165hz.
120-165hz 4k would be nice but I doubt the 3080Ti will do it and sod if I’m paying £1-2000+ monitor prices for that kind of spec. Plus I haven’t got the space to be using 55”+ OLED as main monitor either.

Maybe, ill still like it before Cyberpunk though
Wouldn't surprise me if they snyc'd the release (give or take) with the CP release, and have the new RTX features in there too

In Ray-Tracing, not general rasterization performance. And he is speculating somewhat, nothing concrete but it'd be nice.

The Witcher 3 was the last time I upgraded my GPU for a paticura game so I can max it out, thats my plan again for Ampere and Cyberpunk 2077
, Unless AMD does a 1 in 1000000 blinder with RNDA2Which card do you expect to be upgrading to RanxZy?You won't be able to resist the extra Gigarays on the 3080Ti

Yeh exactly, I reckon it will have 2080ti performance in ray tracing but anyone thinking it will have 2080ti performance in rasterization will be disappointed. I expect the 3070 to be around that level tho.

Hopefully DLSS 3.0 is in there so we can all turn the good **** upto 11

If you by 2 or even 3 for SLI you're make savings according to Jensen.
But being serious, the last launch for the 2000 series did it go the same way we are expecting?
Data centre talked about first and then gaming cards at a later date?
Otherwise the 14th is gonna be a damn sight disappointing.

Get amped to have your wallet drained!
On a relevant sidenote who needs power currently and for what title?
I know anyone at 4k will take more not questioning that.
IMO anyone at 2560*1440 and above who wants ray tracing on in AAA titles and 60FPS+ would take more power?
But surely the 1080p crowd are fine with current gen hardware?
Maybe this gen will see people changing to higher res monitors too?

3070/3080 for me at that res, may as well be on the latest cards that will get optimisations in drivers, plus the rumoured much better RT performance
I hear DLSS 3.0 is much better than 2.0, it makes 1080p look better than 8K native!Hopefully DLSS 3.0 is in there so we can all turn the good **** upto 11

I would be weary of overhyping these GPUs based on rumours - because even if Ampere/whatever its called is a solid upgrade over Turing,if it does not match what the rumours have said,people will start moaning at Nvidia.
Makes a change if that happens, AMD have been getting it since after the 290X launched with every launch being underwhelming and overpriced based on rumours and hype.

My main concern is if Nvidia,is using Samsung 8NM,as Samsung is mostly using that for smaller ARM based SOCs,so we don't know how well it holds up if Nvidia is mass producing much larger GPUs,ie,will yields be OK?? The only GPUs made by Samsung for Nvidia were smaller ones such as the GP107,which actually was a bit worse performance/watt compared to the TSMC made Pascal GPUs.
This is partially what happened with AMD when they moved from TSMC to GF/Samsung 14NM,which was a worse process than TSMC 16NM. There was evidence Polaris despite being a safe design based on the earlier Fiji/Tonga(Polaris was an evolution of the latter GPUs),it had to go through many production revisions. Then you have Vega,which in IGPs seems a very good design,but had lots of problems in the larger versions.
