NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

WCCF picked up on the traversal co-processor

It would also allow them to ship the coprocessors as a standalone AIC card - which is something Coreteks mentions as well. Remember the PhysX AIC cards of olde? Well, if this rumor turns out to be true, we might be getting RTX Raytracing AIC cards that can enable strong raytracing performance on a non-raytracing GPU (likely only NVIDIA ones). This is a very feasible business model and something that would greatly enhance the company's push for raytracing without adding cost to users that do not want to pay for it. I for one have my fingers crossed and sincerely hope this turns out to be true - innovation is always incredibly exciting.

Wonder how much they'd charge for em :p
 
They may be doing with Ampere, what they are doing now, and thats have 2x sets of cards out, ones that have hw RT, and ones that don't, the ones that don't, could get the RT, via the extra aics

Separate ray tracing card.......not going to happen, unless all the other leaks and rumours are wrong. As only the top tier card is suppose to have an NVLink connector, so what is the point of an add in card that you can only add to the top tier card.

The co processor idea.....maybe, but I doubt it.

They won't need NVLink, they're on about them being like the old PhysX cards, that you just had to plug in another slot.

If the NVLink is the case, then they may have NVLink on all the Ampere cards, and not just like now, only the high-ends.

We just don't know anything, until the cards are released, its all just speculation :p
 
I can't see the 3070 only being £500, if its about equal to a £1200+ 2080Ti.

If that is the case, then the 2080Ti owners want to get selling their £1200+ cards now, before these hit, otherwise they are going to be lucky to get about £300 for em :p

It's pretty reasonable to assume the performance of it based on the many leaks we have now. If the 3060 isn't in the 2070 super/2080 ballpark this new generation will be a massive disappointment

Price though, i will give you that. Who knows what nvidia may pull :p

As everyone on here will say, our pants down :D
