NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

So whats the sweepstake on the price?

I'm going to guess £999 - £1,200.

Cheapest 2070 Super is £499 on ocuk so I’d imagine the 3070 will move up one price tier and start at £500+.

Cheapest 2080 Super on ocuk is £719 so again the 3080 will likely move up one tier and start at £750+.

Cheapest 2080Ti on ocuk is £1099 so I’ll guess and say the FE 3080Ti will now start at £1099 all the way up to £2000+.

The most expensive being ASUS strix cards having that ASUS premium attached.

1H is almost over, only 2 weeks left. Have Ampere cards landed yet or has there been a delay?

Before posting this type of question which has been discussed ad nauseum for the last 20 pages, maybe do a 2 minute google search? Or try reading popular tech sites once or twice a week? :)

Irony detector broken perhaps?

Irony delivery was broken, perhaps. People have been asking similar things now and then throughout this thread and there is no reason anyone is going to notice you trying to be funny amidst all of the misinformation and silly questions flying around.

AMD and Nvidia are both trying to work on "chiplet like" implementations for GPUs,so if it was multiple dies on a single substrate it might be workable. But at some point we will need to go that way,as manufacturing becomes harder and harder.

Chiplets on the same package or card is one thing, having RT spun off to different die is different. The die to die latency on the same package can be mitigated (ah la ryzen). Card to card eps if it vendor diagnostics the latency would be much higher, as the data it wants to pass to the GPU have to go out the card, the PCIe bus to the cpu then back out the cpu ,the pcie bus to the GPU.

Physx cards worked as it was'nt core to the rendering pipline so can afford to have latency. If you have a game using RT, and a RT card was supporting the GPU, the GPU can't render squat until its got information from the RT card.

Ive been watercooling long enough Andy to know that watercooling decreases temps which allows you to increase the voltage which can help sustain a higher overclock. Overclocking is a skill and to find prime 95 stability takes alongtime to do this when your pushing your cpu/gpu threshold. Maybe you lack the skills or just wasnt doing it right. Im only going by my own experiences here and anybody that thinks or says that air cooling gives the same performance over watercooling (custom not AIO) are simply deluded.

dude, I've been overclocking since 386's, my 9900k is running at 5.2ghz on 1.2v on water, for CPU's absolutely... just saying, with 3 different samples of 2080ti is hasn't, but you don't even have your 2080ti on water so you are making comments without any experience whatsoever, then call in to question my experience, lol

Agreed. Standard OCing is not in any way difficult.

The main reason is noise and aesthetics for Wcing. On GPU’s performance wise the reasoning alone is pointless. Your talking less than 50mhz on air vs water due to gpu boost. Less than a % point of difference, you get more from the silicon lottery nowadays.

Only the days where you could custom bios flash cards it made a difference. Now you get miniscule amounts of voltage adjustment which doesn’t make much difference.

CPU’s are far better but even a decent air cooler like a dh14 can get up there with an AIO/custom loop.

the price differential doesn't make sense

the only difference is the digital doesn't have a disc drive but somehow that's worth 100 euro? Ugh.... something isn't right

How much does a proper blu-ray player cost these days? perhaps that justifies it? dunno cause what the **** would I want spinning disks for :P
