NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

[Twinz]

That’s the thing to gpu ownership. Does my Ti being devalued bother me no. Name of the game really.

Has had some good use. People will be paying £14-1500 for a 3090 that in 2 years may also be worth £300 just the way things are.

I usually keep my cards anyway as spares. Don’t think I’ll be swapping it to a 3080, maybe 3090 have to see how fast it truly is first.

I'm keeping my 1080Ti as my new spare too. My current 1070 spare will probably get sold for next to nothing though.

worth upgrading a 1080ti to a 3070 do you think?

Xbox One X = 6 terraflops
Xbox Series X = 12 teraflops

Forget the cost, am I right Nvidia just announced a graphics card with nearly 36 teraflops? Or are they fudging that figure somehow.

1080Ti is still a stonkin card.

See we've got wishes thinkers in the MM already, £850 for a 2080 Ti which is now supposedly the same speed as a 3070 for £469. Lol

Think that might be worth a comment / suspension at the least

Man I love Vulkun

Fixed.

One thing that concerns me re the FE 12 pin power connector.. if you have to use the splitter supplied because you do not have a psu with the 12 pin ..then that's 3 connections..i am no electrician but would that not cause a fair bit of resistance in the cable ..i mean ive seen a fair few 12 volt molex extensions into hard drives go puff in the past and that's low amps compared to these cards ...

It'll be faster but I'd pony up the extra for the 3080 FE personally.

Anyone seen any waterblocks for the reference 3080 yet? I’m really interested in seeing how they will be designed. Lots of heat in a smaller area is going to require some precision to get right.

He mentioned something like two operations per clock, maybe half the cuda cores or whatever.

What’s going to happen to all the hundreds of 2X series cards retailers have in stock, they’re virtually unsellable without absolutely ridiculous price cuts.

I presume Nvidia will assist retailers to discount them.

Yesterday there was about 50 pages moaning about the low Vram on the 3070 & 3080 and today there seems to be no posts about it

I don't understand why some 2080Ti owners are unhappy with the 3090's value offering.

Because they just want the "top card" and suddenly it's hard to justify. Previously they could discount the Titan and consider the 2080Ti as the top dog but now the "new Titan" has a regular 3090 name, suddenly that's the top card.

It sounds daft but I assure you that's how some people's minds work. The fact that the 3080 massively outperforms the 2080Ti or that Jensen repeatedly called it the flagship card doesn't matter, people will perceive the 3090 as the top card so they feel they must have that for bragging rights but the value proposition doesn't add up.

They'd actually prefer it if the 3090 had been called a Titan as they could have then got a 3080

 

[gpuerrilla]

Man have you seen the low amount of VRAM on these new cards?

 

[JediFragger]

The room between the 3070 and 3080 means there will be a 3070Ti

Notice the 12pin connector adapter and its centered!!! WHY!?

Because that's where the PCB ends!

They can't put the connector on the end of the card housing as there's no PCB there.

Yeah, the 3090 looks paltry.

 

[Kelt]

Can't see £1200 plus cards being discounted to £500, because that's what they'd have to do to sell them.

And even then I wouldn't buy one over a 3070 at £469.

Currently running a 3950x and 2070 gtx on a Seasonic bronze 650 watt psu. If I upgraded to the 3090 would my PSU still be okay?

Have to remember that the new consoles have 16GB of RAM/VRAM (some used by OS, but not much) meaning they have at least 12GB VRAM for games. I for one wouldn't be happy spending £650 for less VRAM than a console, as console ports will need the VRAM.

That 12GB is the equivalent of both the free RAM and VRAM that a PC has.
So even if the system only had 16GB RAM and 10GB VRAM, when you deduct the 4GB for the OS that still leaves 22GB versus 12GB for the console.
