NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

[Bindlestiff]

No problem.

At your current rate of posting, I look forward to buying/selling you some PC gear in just under 80 years.

Should give me time to save

Is anyone here in the unofficial discord ocuk? I been arguing with others saying that Intel is the best for gaming and you will see a noticable FPS boost when you compare like for like CPU from AMD...

i told them no that aint true as games are gpu dependant especially at 1080p res and above

FE looks nicest/cleanest/most stylish.

Agreed, but for people with custom cables the new power connector kinda removes that aesthetically pleasing design. Imo.

Pricing seems to suggest to me that they're worried about amds offerings which can only be good news for us consumers!

Wow, someone gets it!!!!
You are absolutely right and this needs repeating. AMD and Nvidia know's each other performance right now! And if nvidia had a clear lead, again, you would be seeing price hikes. But we are not. All Nvidia is saying right now is that they believe AMD cannot match their 3090 which is why they added $200 hike to it.

It seems that RDNA 2 will surprise the lot this time in it's price/performance.

Mine is a 3960x threradripper with 128gb ram and like 7 hdd's attached(2 nvme, 4 2.5 ssd and 1x 3.5 mechanical) im a content creator and coder

OK?

Mine was more in reply on whether my 650 year old psu will hack a 3080.

(Un)Humble brag:

Since putting a spreadbet on Nvidia shares at 12:45pm yesterday at £1/pt. I have just closed a £2,088 gain.

Thanks for the free 3090 Nvidia... plus change towards a Ryzen Zen3 in a few months

- I will be just behind, maybe 85 years

Peasants like me can't afford or won't spend £479 to get a 3070 and entry into the Ampere world.

Do you reckon we'll get a 3060 type card?

cpu is a 3700x not overclocked

You should be alright with that. You should check out this video. It was extremely helpful for me.

Yea that's a question I am looking for an answer for. But how much faster is a PCIe3 vs PCIe4 NVME?

I would have thought the whole point of this technology is to get the most out of what is available and avoid the IO bottleneck.

I have a 970 Evo nvme which is fast. I cant imagine it's not 'fast enough'.

Well it's still going to be faster that the current 'standard' method as there's less data to transfer over the PCI bus since with RTX IO the compressed data is transferred then decompressed into VRAM as opposed to the current system whereby the CPU has to decompress the data then load it into the GPU. The GPU will also be far faster actually decompressing the data than the CPU.

How much faster a PCIe4 SSD will be that a PCIe3 one remains to be seen but potentially a lot if that's the biggest bottleneck.

i dont think my 850w wiill cope

We will

More about the way it communicates rather than the speed, from my brief read of it

Might have to look at upgrading the rest of my system when games start to come out next year that start to properly utilise this new tech. I am still using a z87 based board and the only way I can get nvme is by gimping my graphics card slot to pcie 3.0x8 and then I could use an expansion card to get a nvme drive running at 2.0x4 but I don’t think that would really be worth it, thoughts?

I think this can be summed up as:

1)Anyone who bought a 2080 Ti (or any expensive Turing card) recently made a TERRIBLE emotional purchasing decision, against all of the advice of the sensible people on forums advising to wait until next-gen was launched. True buyers remorse and completely avoidable.
2) Anyone who bought a 2080 Ti at launch and sold it a month or two ago for £1000 is laughing and can feel very satisfied with themselves.

That's basically the situation.

So the question now. Since we know, at the very least, that if RDNA 2 beats both 3070/3080 Nvidia will:
-Reduce prices
-Provide super duper variants at the same price point of the 3070/3080 but mush faster/more vram

Which would diminish the invest early adapters made just to say, I got mine 1st!

Undoubtedly.

1. i bought mine at launch
2. i always put my previous owned card on my htpc as i sometimes game on the couch

The Intel Core i9 10900K is the best gaming cpu.
