NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

If theres 20% plus increase in performance and i can seel my 2080ti and throw maybe £300/400 extra.. max... if needed then i might bite the bullet and upgrade. Anything under 20% and i think i'll stay with what i have at the moment.

The irony is that the value of Ampere is inversely-proportional to the resale value of your Turing card.

If Ampere is just another Turing generation, your 2080ti should hold a good portion of it's value. If Ampere goes the way of most of the generations *before* Turing, your 2080ti will lose a large chunk of its resale.

Indeed. I think that's more true of Turing than it was with Pascal as a second hand 1080Ti is looking like a great purchase for a low - mid range card.

Well it was $999 at launch and was available for less than a £1000 but I take your point.

Apologies, yes, it was cheaper initially. Now give that sort of performance in an RTX 3080 at around £700-£750 and it's a lot more compelling all of a sudden. Using 4600 as a Timespy Extreme score for the 1080 Ti that chart (obviously if remotely accurate) would out the 3080 around 84% faster at a similar launch price. Were I looking to buy that would be fairly tempting.
 
Turing sales during the first 8 weeks were better than Pascal, but Pascal was a bit of a paper launch. Although 2019 Q1 gaming revenue was significantly worse than 2018 Q1, Nvidia said that's more to do with the decline of cryptocurrency popularity.

In short, there's no definitive numbers one way or another. We can only speculate.

Think I recall Gibbo saying Turing sales have been generally pretty strong compared to Pascal.

Isn't because due to Covid they can't launch at a live event with all of the associated hoopla so they're doing all these extra things?

Do they do 21 days of promos as pre-hype for product reveals?? Talk about the coolers in 10 minute videos?

If Nvidia merely announced a launch date,loads of gamers would be tuning in during that date to see what new GPUs are out,especially since more people are trapped at home currently.
 
Stop winging about the price and amount of vram guys. Just shut your eyes, bend over and hand your wallet to Mr Leather Jacket Man :p:D

In essence yes, so if they see a decline in demand they obviously look at what the risks are in terms of production. If you recall EVGA recently acquired some special 106 dies for their RTX 2060 KO which appear to be repurposed 104 dies (RTX 2080) with disabled or failed shaders etc no use for gamers but actually really good value for certain workloads like encoding I can't remember exactly. Point being they sold very well for EVGA and they went for very targeted products not the general purpose ones.

TLDR: They shifted these special KO cards a lot faster than they thought imho, but are cautious about about production on the others imho

I knew nothing about EVGA doing this.

I just sold both my 1080's and picked up a bargain EVGA 2060 ko to tide me over until 3000 series is released. The intention was to throw it into my second pc for encoding once i'd got a new 3000 card. I Just checked it with gpu-z and it is indeed saying TU104! quite happy i grabbed it now.

There were market analyst reports about this around the time of the Super series launch basically what they were saying was Turing wasn't selling according to expectations. You have to remember though that Nvidia had excess Pascal silicon that they were selling at the same time plus the increased margins on Turing so revenue wise they did well but that did it at the cost of exploiting their market position at the time.

Just use Google you'll find them I'm sure if you're interested.

Everything flies of Gibbo's shelves he should really get them sorted LUL
