NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

[TNA]

AMD been saying that for years and with there GPUs...Nothing as yet

But we are talking about CPU’s, not GPU’s. The gap is so small that it would be almost impossible not to beat Intel at this point. Soon (this year) when people say what is best for gaming, the answers won’t be Intel

 

[gpuerrilla]

So will this be on TSMC instead of Samsung if it's 7nm?

Its not clear as they seem to be using both.

 

[Zeeflyboy]

Samsung has 7nm node too, I don’t think anyone knows whether it’s TSMC or Samsung as the 7nm kind of came out of left field and everyone (except Jim who had suggested it could be Samsung 5nm which is just a modified 7nm) seemed to have already concluded 8nm was a done deal...

With the power draw you’d think it surely can’t be TSMC though unless they have a really power hungry architecture. It seems to me that they are pushing things harder to make up for not having node parity with AMD which to me suggests it is likely still Samsung.

Send me notice when\if it happens

Ahh but thats an informative decision, even with Zen 2 they were only what 3% difference in games. For me if your packing a hi-res display the GPU will be doing most of the lifting. If I was 1080p high fps CS-GO might consider intel, otherwise its Ryzen era dominating now. With intel messing up the support for PCI-e4 I and the vulnerabilities peppering the news all the time, its not the white knight it was 5 years ago.

So you want a jake of all trades but skilled in non PC

Hah, but it is skilled in more things than Intel as the only thing they got left for another few months is gaming, soon they won’t have that either. Lol.

Send me notice when\if it happens

I won’t need to, it pretty much a done thing and only a few months away at most

 

[Jacky60]

Maybe buy a portable AC unit to go with the 3900?

Well I've certainly considered going AC but I'm waiting for RDNA2 before I spend. I feel a disturbance in the GPU force approaching.

IF they do. Lets hope you haven't got to spend the earth on ram.
Where as intel....hmmm cheap 3000hz ram...it works

Come now, you are starting to sound like beany boy

"The main features of the NVIDIA RTX 30 series are: 2nd Gen Ray Tracing cores, 3rd Gen Tensor Cores, PCI-Express 4.0 interface, GDDR6X memory and a new generation of NVLink SLI (only for RTX 3090)."

PCI-E 4.0 - so expecting to see differences in reviews now covering potentially gimped 3.0 systems to 4.0 systems, will be interesting.

 

[gpuerrilla]

PCI-Express 4.0 but no SLI, only for 3090? Wow who can afford two of those, will need juicy PSU.

 

[The Old School Gamer]

Hmm ok, I just checked my CIV6 again and its bouncing off the near limit on the card now at 10,921Mb of VRAM lol. Yep, time to get a card with more VRAM, worst is that its only 3440x1440 res at 100Hz. I want to move to doing 4k from a LG C10 48" or gaming LCD in future, I wonder if thats going to be an issue

Yeah I agree 10Gb is right on the borderline. :-/
I doubt 20Gb is going to be fully utilized in most future games.
But it is the preferable option over not having enough VRAM going forward.

I'm sticking with Samsung micron have the invaders …

I've got this suspicious feeling that the 3080 might be $849 or $899, I thought it would be $799, but having two cars at the top end, both using the same GA102 die, and one using 24GB GDDR6X vs 10GB, means that the price of the lower of the two cards will share the same cost profile (BOM) other than RAM which is ~$20 per GB maximum ($280 total). Maybe they'll price it high, with a view to dropping it down if AMD can make a card anywhere near as fast as the 3080, thus pushing it down to something like $749, or just leaving it if they don't.

To be fair assuming any accuracy to the price rumours probably not many would buy the 3090 for 1400 when you could buy two 3080’s for 1600... best for Papa Jensen to forcefully put a stop to such chicanery by just not allowing it.

Cant wait to try 3090 sli on my 1300w psu

You won't need a room heater in the winter.

Same here, but my PSU is 1200w.

Just stating what I read in the CPU section
