NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

Not gonna happen, sli is dead

SLI should be fine with RT though,and Nvidia does have the resources.

The naming and dual fan design plus humongous cooler suggest its possible. Stories of memory overheating may well explain the massive size though.

The leaked PCB picture had one side covered by an Intel CPU. Also it would explain the amount of power the memory is consuming,if its being replicated accross dual GPUs.

If it's a single GPU card,then the power consumption and heat must be not that great though.
 
I almost hope that pricing is true, would make it easy for me to decide between a new card and a ps5. Just keep my 1080ti for playing my old library of games.
Would be a shame after 20 odd years of building pc's but no way in hell I'm stupid enough to pay for that.
 
PCIe slots don't just break without significant external force, such as a full system being thrown around during shipping with inadequate internal packaging. People have been using aftermarket coolers that are a lot larger and heavier than this thing for a long time (some of them end up taking up about five slots once you add fans). Hell, even some high end Turing cards are about as large as this is. The fact that it's held in via a true triple-slot I/O plate and three screws means it'll put less strain on anything than a lot of the huge "2.5" slot cards do that only secure with two. Motherboards are a lot stronger than people think anyway. I remember when people used to make the claim that huge tower air coolers would snap your motherboard, yet I've literally never heard of it actually happening.

goos to know, did freak out a bit when I started seeing my card sag a bit
 
If that reference 3090 really is $1400, then we can expect £1500 for after market cards and £1700 for the Asus one. Also, that's a nuts price jump between the 3080 and the 3090.
 
I've no issue with the top tier card being priced for people with more money than sense as long as the 80 and below perform well and are priced reasonably
