NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

[N19h7m4r3]

Damn nVidia for not shipping to the Island!!!!

I'll have to use Parcel Motel as a last resort, and pay them for one hell of an extra insurance coverage.

Love Island?

Once I get my 3090, it will be. IT WILL BE!

If you are filling in the blanks effectively using AI and doing stuff to make lines and curves crisper etc. it can look "better" than native* - but I'm still not a huge fan - I'd rather have the native image personally.

* Kind of like Optoma does with its "embedding stereoscopic depth information from a human-vision-based model" to make upscaled footage look "HD".

It's Darbee technology Optoma use. I have one of their processors for my 1080p projector it looks great I have the effect running low.

It's interesting in that it isn't a sharpening filter.

does the NDA lift tomorrow? If so for what cards?

NO!! Please try to keep up Mr Gamble. NDA has been moved to the 16th by nVidia because.....reasons

That is for the 3080 at least, 3090's are later.

nda for the 3080 has been pushed back to the 16th, release day is the 17th and the 3090 looks to be set for the 24th of this month still

Nope and none. It's been pushed back to the 16th.

thanks all, sorry for not keeping up @JediFragger haha

 

[P.B]

Nice one, please let me know if you can get EARC lossless audio / atmos etc. Also not sure if would need an active adapter or if a passive cable would be ok for the EARC? I am planning to use one DP port for just audio, so DP++ > HDMI > AVR / Surround speakers.

After doing some research it looks like this should be ok, just want to check with someone who has done it, because a lot more choice if not worried about 2 x HDMI.

Well so far got 4k 60hz hdr no sound and no 120hz to my receiver but I plug it into the tv no display at all so I think more fault finding is required

Am I reading this right... 16% power increase for 3% higher performance? 3080 @ 370w

Either the FE or something like the Asus Strix.

Yeah I was thinking along those lines although you may want to hold of as some news regarding the Titan has popped up(buts it wccf) https://wccftech.com/nvidia-quadro-...-fat-ga102-gpu-over-10000-cores-48-gb-memory/

Not sure that will be faster. Its only 2% more cores and uses gddr6 memory and has less bandwidth than the 3990.

That's talking about a Quadro card, the only mention of Titan is the last, speculative, paragraph.

This guy is all set and rig is ready and waiting for his 3080 (reddit), he is taking a bit of stick (constructive criticism) lol

^^ Thats the guy who buys a 3080/3090 to pair with his 4770k

[skiersteve12345]

I want a 3090 so bad but for no reason other than I just want it lmao, I have a 2070s and play at 120hz 3440x1440, I cap the refresh rate in nearly every game I play I could easily wait for the 3080s or w.e its called to launch but im a upgrade addict, must.... resist

 

[Grim5]

I wonder if the 3090 is 30-40% faster than the 3080 looking at these underwhelming numbers. Seems to me like the 3090 should then be much faster looking at the price difference

Extremely unlikely.

Look how small the difference is between the 3080 and 2080ti, those extra cores on the 3090 won't do much. Maybe the 3090 can overclock higher by 100mhz, but that also wont do much. Only significant difference is in memory bandwidth - but this will only matter if the 3080 is really starved for bandwidth and the extra bandwidth on the 3090 allows it to stretch its legs.

However in summary, I think the rasterization performance on the 3090 will only be 10-15% faster than the 3080 (10% if they clock the same and 15% if the 3090 achieves higher clock speeds). Any other difference between these cards will be in the Ray Tracing and DLSS performance as the 3090 has 20% more RT & Tensor cores.

Yeah very true although it does a a boost clock speed of 1860MHz

Yep although the rumoured Titan is sopossed to use a full fat GA102 and have 48Gigs of ram so it's ticked both of those boxes which I believe Kaapstad was interested in.

Its called Quadro though, not Titan

https://hothardware.com/news/nvidia-quadro-ampere-cards-10752-cuda-cores-48gb-gddr6

10752 cores
48GB GDDR6 @ 384bit 768GB/s

They had to use GDDR6 to get to 48GB as it cant be done with GDDR6X

Could be built on TSMC 7nm and not Samsung 8nm - boost clock is 160mhz higher than the 3090.
