NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

[scubes]

so all the this new card was after all a cyber punk card 2080ti version lol...

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Jesus, that's desperate.

 

[gronf]

LMFAO

Yawn nvidia getting desperate now, their marketing manager needs the mallet.

 

[Poneros]

Their marketing is top tier. This is a great move.

eh? Why are they desperate. No competition at the high end so keep rinsing the current cards. That is not desperate, it’s brilliant business.
Not good for us but certainly not desperate behaviour.

What's all this got to do with Ampere?

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

The Cyberpunk card was never going to be Ampere. CD Projekt Red tweeted Nvidia about doing a custom CP card, and Nvidia replied with a tease that they were working on it.

I've no idea why people were conflating this and the Huang "won't be disappointed" boast.

You are clearly to marketing what a gull is to an oil slick.

Of course you have an idea why... it's because people will believe and hope for the things they want to be true even when it goes against all logic and common sense.

 

[BigBANGtheory]

oh ur having a laugh, that's about as disappointing as it gets

If it was a 3080ti showcasing a cyberpunk design I can understand, but an old card is not doing it for me

 

[Spyhop]

I miss when entering a competition didn't involve grovelling by doing a retweet or whatever

 

[scubes]

and there was me getting exited for the new 3080ti a well..

Exactly!

Nothing but they've also been hinting at something new being announced at GTC 2020 next month which is potentially going to be Ampere. I think the two things are getting a bit mixed up by some people.

You don't have to foam at the mouth

 

[BigBANGtheory]

it gets better, its a competition... Nvidia are having to give away the 2080Ti now LUL

I hear ya. I mean, I never entered the good kind of competition either, coz I'm a talentless hack. But it was nice to see what other people could come up with

"Say something nice about our products for a chance at free stuff" - if that's your thing, might as well become a hardware "reviewer"

 

[Greebo]

If I was lucky enough to win one I think i would just flog it as it is sure to command a silly premium being 1 of 77

You mean there are people who would pay any more for a yellow 2080Ti than a regular 2080Ti with identical hardware?

Hmm, humans are strange.
