Anyone else super curious about the USB port on the card they showed? hmmm

I thought that it was a VirtualLink USB-C port?

Are we expecting a massive shortfall in meeting demand like we saw with Nvidia here?

For VR headsets?

I use USB-C from my Dell Laptop to the Displayport on my monitor, I wish vendors will do away with the full fat display port and replace it with USB-C, it would certainly help with those who want a multi monitor setups (not to mention the fact the cable is a lot thinner).

I would say it is extremely likely there will be limited stock, probably not as bad as Nvidias paper launch, but i would say cards will sell out *IF* the performance and price is there.

No, AMD have said already they will NOT make the same mistake as nVidia, actually, they promised they wouldn't.

We can all relax then if AMD have said it. Would you like to buy a bridge?

Hope it's Dr Su doing the presentation.

RavenXXX2 · 28 Oct 2020 at 15:18

Jensen bricking it in anticipation.

Phate · 28 Oct 2020 at 15:19

Right. It appears I am the only one who didn't know what the USB-C port was for

Carry on!

Not really, tsmc 7nm is solid node.

Depends how many jump ship from the 3080/3090 queue!

That is the main issue, 3080 and 3090 cant be found to buy and 3070 going to be scarce to.
so what to do then buy big navis

Pricing be the main thing I am curious about, the cards are fast and good and have 16gb ram.

4pm kickoff?

I bet they won't do any benchmark comparisons with 3090/3080/3070 since they couldn't find any stock xD

yeah

Jensen should be obligated to live stream his reaction to the AMD announcement IMO.

KentMan · 28 Oct 2020 at 15:22

These wont be up for Pre-Order for a couple of weeks is my guess.

Fair enough, thought I remembered (the since departed) Raja doing one of the graphics launches in previous years so wasn't sure for this year.
