NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

[five8five]

I just wish their release wasn't an extra month later. I have a good feeling for their rasterisation performance but I feel like it's gonna be a Navi vs Turing repeat. AMD has good value but lacking in features/niche performance (RT etc) while the other side charges an arm and a leg for the extra goodies.

I'm in two minds about the scaling to say 80CU.
I'm surprised (shocked) AMD haven't dropped some hints. I feel they are letting Nvidia get all the publicity.

Never reveal a strong hand, poker face etc

Like they did when they dropped the price after Nvidia had release with 5700xt?

Agreed there is no actual way of telling how much ram is being used vs allocation. But if the game is allocating it there is a chance it could use it surely?

Assassins Creed Odyssey maxed out at 4K uses under 8Gb VRAM. I can see MSFS2020 using as much as you can throw at it but as someone else already said, it’s not really a game.

Is it definitely strong or a bluff?

Just feel it's lost opportunities.

FS2020 likes system ram as well.

Flight Simulator 2020 "Ideal" specifications are
8 GB vram
32 GB ram

3080 will have 25% extra. Panic over

 

[Darujhistan]

16GB VRAM is the MINIMUM cutting edge cards now should ship with.

Absolutely, I can't believe they're still trying to get away with 10GB on a £800 card, mind you NV have a track record of cheaping out on VRAM. Less than £200 gets you 8GB, but spend FOUR TIMES AS MUCH and you get 2GB extra?

They're releasing after though?

True, but it gets close to it. It's also on very old engine, textures aren't proper for 4K, and they have very aggressive lod management. I mean, I love the game dearly but this is pathetic, look at this.. check ground textures & roads.

Are reference cards...sorry "founders".... cards not typically very loud?

We will see in reviews, it all depends on when aftermarket stuff will be released. I may choose to wait or deal with loud fans. Going reference also means I can watercool it also if I wish easier.

Still got the rg1 1080 I sold you?

Yes dude, It's still my daily! Love it.

Interested to see how the front and rear fan configuration works in reality from a performance and acoustic point of view.

This will be interesting also if you want to water cool your card - not sure how that would look like at the minute.

You may have a point but I can’t really say I’ve noticed it while playing. It looks stunning in places and it’s the game I keep coming back to at present.

Yes

There is no certainty until the event, Nvidia can change quite a few things I wouldn't expect much from AMD until end of next week tbh

Current thinking is that AMD will offer more Vram in direct competition with the 3080

Absolutely. Nvidia have commited to an event. Why would AMD play it's card first? It will wait to see Nvidias move, then process it, then counter.

Let's hope they wait at least 14-days after people take delivery so they can't return it under distance selling if Nvidia are forced to drop pricing.
