NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

@Kaapstad

This is Apparently GA102, its on TSMC 7nm, not Samsung 8nm. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/nvidia-ga102.g930#:~:text=NVIDIA's GA102 GPU uses the,mapping units and 96 ROPs

It has 7552 Shaders.

There is also this: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-3080-ti.c3581#:~:text=Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce,mapping units, and 96 ROPs

Apparent 3080TI, 5120 Shaders, also TSMC 7nm, if true it goes against the rumour that everything but the Titan cards are on Samsung 8nm

From what I have seen even GA100 doesn't have over 7,000 cuda cores.

Right, because even on TSMC 7nm GA102 is already 627mm2. i said this ages ago there will be no 2080TI + 80%, some even said 2080TI + 100%, even Nvidia are not making the die paving slabs as big as they would need to be for that. BTW GA102 is a 400+ Watt GPU.

As long as it’s under 50cm long it’ll fit in my case.

I for one am glad that’s it’s looking like a triple slot card. At least they stand a chance of keeping it cool and reasonably quiet, at least that’s what I’m hoping.

My Zotac triple fan isn’t the biggest card ever but it looks longer than that FE in the photo so I’m not overly worried.
 
I mean colours wise, can people tell the difference between 8bit+FRC/dithering and 10bit?

I've done tests and I honestly can't see a difference.

My screen is 10Bit 60Hz or 8Bit 75Hz.... i can't no, even if i squint really hard.
 
I'm building a new computer soon to replace my 10 year old rig, so everything is being replaced apart from my SSDs and HDDs...

If I were to spend £500 on a graphics card when the new cards come out, how much of an improvement in performance should they be over spending £500 on a graphics card out today in this current generation?

Just interested in how much performance these new cards are going to have.

I think TPU have their figures messed up.

GA100 is a much bigger chip.
 
Really hope this fits in my mid sized case. I am already upgrading my PSU for the 3090. Really don’t want to move everything to a new case.

I’d be hoping for 40%

My guess from current rumours...

Nvidia:

2080TI + 50% (3090) £1500
2080TI + 20% (3080TI) £1000
2080TI ~/~ (3080) £700
2080S ~/~ (3070) £550
2070S ~/~ (3060 £400

IMO AMD's top card will be 2080TI + 30% £900.

For £450 you'll get 2070S.

Ok thanks, sounds like a nice improvement. I'll be buying a rig with Photography editing, video editing and Flight Sim 2020 in mind so I'll go for an AMD Ryzen 3900X and a next gen gfx card around £500- might go up to around £700 but I can't justify £1200 on a gfx card.

AMD has no ray tracing which FS2020 utilises though.

Going to 7nm should be a big step.

I’d be very surprised if something like a 3060/3070 doesn’t match 2080Ti

Those are GA102, one full fat the other cut down...

GA100 probably is bigger, but given those ^^^ are already on TSMC 7nm at 400 Watt's + i can't see how they can make a much larger GPU if its for gaming, even under that Titan name, unless they are willing to push past 550 Watt's i think GA100 will always be a lower clocked Quadro.

How would you know? the XBox Series X does, it has dual-purpose shaders, the GPU in that is actually capable of upto 90 Giga Rays, that's 9X higher than the 2080TI tho given that it will never actually use all of its shaders for Ray Tracing only in games it will never be anything like that high in practice.
