I know it's been covered before but won't really high pricing just push gamers towards the new consoles. Surely this will help AMD more than Nvidia.

I've got a GTX1080 and unless the 3070 or AMD equivalent is sensibly priced, I'll pass. I'm assuming the mooted gains over the 2K series cards are real.

To be honest, is anything leaked at the moment real?

The cheapest i am aware of is the Black magic ursa mini pro 12k camera $10,000 - https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagicursaminipro
There are also cameras from cannon that do 8k probably for a bit more money. Then you have the Reds at the top. for at least $24k and all the way at top is the sony camera at half a million dollars

Most people who buy these will have their own lens.

I would expect that for TV broadcast/production they can afford a $10k camera.

@five8five Fixed it now:D

$2000 seems rediculous, unless that is the Titan replacement, Which was $2400 I think.

Kinda, I think what it is is that it's the Titan replacement for gaming, because quite a few people bought the Titans for gaming simply because of the extra vram. But you'll still have Titan besides that, with even more vram and thus even more focused on their intended niche: ML/DL researchers.

So essentially they're just adding more price tiers ever upwards. :D

Didn't that very thing happen with Maxwell. Then there was a massive stampede to buy :D
Gibbo loved it :p
Can’t remember, but sounds about right. People lap it up, it just works!

I think they may do the same for AMD, but the opposite. Hype it up, then when it comes out people are disappointed. Lol.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 gets 21Gbps GDDR6X memory
In a technology brief, Micron has confirmed that GeForce RTX 3090 will sport 21 Gbps memory based on GDDR6X technology. Micron has supplied memory modules for GeForce graphics cards for years now, the GDDR6X partnership takes it to the next step.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card is listed on the Micron website with 12GB GDDR6X memory. Micron estimates that GeForce RTX 3090 will be able to break the 1 TB/s barrier with a bandwidth expected between 912 to 1008 GB/s.

It has been long speculated that the new high-end NVIDIA graphics cards might feature GDDR6X memory, however, not a single memory manufacturer confirmed it until now. This was not the case with GDDR6 memory, which was announced much sooner.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 is expected to feature GA102-300 GPU with 5248 CUDA cores, however, this part of the specifications has not yet been confirmed. While Micron claims that the RTX 3090 would launch with 12 GB GDDR6X memory, we have also seen numerous leaks featuring 22, 20, and even 16GB configurations.

Micron:

Micron GDDR6X is the world’s fastest graphics memory, delivering legendary performance to help driveray tracing, shadow mapping and silky-smooth animation for an immersive PC gaming experience.

Micron:

In Summer of 2020, Micron announced the next evolution of Ultra-Bandwidth Solutions in GDDR6X. Working closely with NVIDIA on their Ampere generation of graphics cards, Micron’s 8Gb GDDR6X will deliver up to 21Gb/s (data rate per pin) in 2020. At 21Gb/s, a graphic card with 12pcs of GDDR6X will be able to break the 1TB/s of system bandwidth barrier! Micron’s roadmap also highlights the potential for a 16Gb GDDR6X in 2021 with the ability to reach up to 24Gb/s. GDDR6X is powered by a revolutionary new PAM4 modulation technology for Ultra-Bandwidth Solutions. PAM4 has the potential to drive even more improvements in data rate.

The new information would therefore confirm:

  • Next-generation GeForce RTX series are codenamed “30”
  • The flagship model is indeed called GeForce RTX 3090
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX series will have GDDR6X memory
  • RTX 3090 would sport 21 Gbps memory modules with bandwidth up to 1 TB/s
NVIDIA is set to introduce GeForce RTX 3090 on September 1st during a special GeForce event hosted by Jensen Huang.

Exactly if they do release with more insane prices than last gen, then only a very few people will buy them. More will look at AMD and the consoles.

Like Intel Nvidia's high price structure is baked in, they have been doing it so long now its become a part of their revenue and margin growth structure, investors expect to see that growth to continue, its why the share value is so high, like a Ponzi Scheme, people throw money at Nvidia because Nvidia is constantly growing, the more they grow the more money investors throw at them.

All it takes is for Nvidia to have a couple of quarters where they stop growing or contract and people get nervous enough to start pulling their money out, that starts an implosion cascade.

Nvidia have to keep the cycle of growth going and that means increasing the amount of money they get from you again.

lets reviews the pcb details

The gpu has 24gb of gddr6 vram at 384bit. It has 3 x 8 pin power connections and it has 2 gpu processing chips.

it looks like Moore's law is dead was right - Turing has double VRAM and a seperare Ray Tracing processor.

Hello 400% faster ray tracing

They're making assumptions there are two processors. The only thing we can see from the picture is that whoever took the photo placed an Intel CPU over the GPU solder points to hide the size of the die being used. We can't gain anymore knowledge than that.

Also - 'Turing' - are we going back in time :p

One. Single. Generation.

https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/c...i_the_rtx_3080_has_about_20_increase/fyrfh3a/

For reference here is information about previous releases of Nvidia:

GTX 780 Ti - $699 - (7.11.2013)

GTX 980 - $550 (18.9.2014) - 7% faster than 780 Ti, $150 cheaper, 10 months after the release of 780 Ti

GTX 980 Ti - $650 (1.6.2015) - 30% faster than 780 Ti, $50 cheaper, 18 months after the release of 780 Ti

GTX 1080 - $600 launch (27.5.2016) , cut to $500 (1.3.2017) - 27% faster than 980 Ti, $150 cheaper, 12 months after the release of 980 Ti

GTX 1080 Ti - $700 (5.3.2017) - 43% faster than 980 Ti, $50 more expensive, 21 months after the release of 980 Ti

(EDIT: Anandtech puts 1080 Ti at +74% at 4K and +68% at 1440p over the 980 Ti)

RTX 2080 - $700 (20.9.2018) - 8% faster than 1080 Ti, same price, 18 months after the release of 1080 Ti

RTX 2080 Ti - $1000 (27.9.2018) - 29% faster than 1080 Ti, $300 more expensive, 18 months after the release of 1080 Ti

RTX 3080 - $??? (9.2020?) - 20% faster than 2080 Ti (?), unknown price, almost 24 months after the release of 2080 Ti

RTX 3080 Ti - $??? (9.2020?) - 35%-40% faster than 2080 Ti (?), unknown price, almost 24 months after the release of 2080 Ti
