NVIDIA could tease its next-gen Ampere GPU on 7nm at GTC 19 NVIDIA kicks off its annual GPU Technology Conference next week, where we could be introduced to Ampere on 7nm

I don't know why but I'm excited about Nvidia's 7nm. Think it's going to be a big jump of performance again, Pascal redux.

Even if they release it this year, I'll bite.

I'm really looking forward to having a full 7nm PC. They do make really good GPUs but I believe it will be bad for the future of the gaming community to increase Nvidia's 80% market dominance by buying one of their products. I dont want the prices to rise even more and I'm annoyed at the number of RMAs. But that's what market dominance leads to. Maybe if market share drops to 65% I might treat myself to an Nvidia card because I'd feel I've done my bit to help lol

£2k for this one?

In looking for 50% performance increase over my 1080ti for around £600. Fingers crossed this is it.

Not going to happen though, with Nvidia already pushing the envelope so far with the 2080ti.

3080 should be faster than a 2080ti which is what, 30% faster than a 1080ti? I don't think 50% over a 1080ti is stretching it TBH.

Too early in my opinion, I wouldn't expect anything new to be talked about for a good few months yet.

I don't think so.

NVidia GPUs are ridiculously overpriced on 12nm and if they have any common sense at all they will use 7nm to sell the same performance for half the price.

It was more the "for £600" which is the unbeleivable bit. More like starting at £1600 with Asus card being £1999

Why would a x80 be priced 3 times as much as every other x80 that came before it? That would force the x80ti to be around £2500 which makes no sense.

Empire is the replacement of By a for HPC, data centre and DL. Not a consumer card.

Nvidia could be just moving pieces down once, as they did with Turing. So the 3080 would be a 2080ti equivalent, and for the 50% performance improvement over a 1080ti that would mean going for 3080ti, which I don't think anyone really thinks it's going to be £600.

with the recent releases of RTX's and gtx 1660's i dont see this coming this year

"Turing makes great use of GDDR6 memory technology" is my favourite quote from the article

Not talking about performance, but rather the unrealistic expectation of Nvidia willingly pricing a 3080 that would be faster than the 2080ti at £600.

Just think back about the launch price of 2080 vs the launch price of 1080ti...

As a deposit.....

That's a big "if", based on their recent business practice.

These are not gaming cards but replacements for Volta.

No that's just for the SLI bridge

e: NV-Link these days, sorry
