NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

[Gerard]

That's one incredibly crammed little pcb.

From the teardown looks like a 3080ti would be 12gb?

Or same board for 3090 with 2gb modules ?

nvidia problem is 2gb modules aren’t out until 2021. I think that’s the onl6 reason we don’t have a 3080ti now

 

[Greebo]

Christ almighty, he ever heard of a scalpel or something? A drill and glue to get those tabs off?

Far fewer screws but does look a bit tricky to take apart.

saw another video earlier and it looked easy. They used sticky tape to get the screw covers off. Everything else was easy if you know where to put your finger nail under,

reassured me that fitting a waterblock will be easy and little risk of damaging the card.

Be a shame to put one on it, looks to be a really well built cooler.

Water cooling the power restricted FE is kind of not worth it.

Am I the only one hunting frantically for my modular PSU cables? Currently have a dual 8/6 cable and can't find the box for the PSU or other cables

going for the 3090. Hoping for better over locking from that

Just watched the entire teardown video, it's cute that Steve thinks NVIDIA listened to him about the amount of screws on the fe card. Just seems to be more a matter of the design of the cooler this time around that led to less screws. 16 or so vs 65+

been there and done that before. Ended up buying another set and then months later finding the original ones.lol

That will be a kettle

are you sure ? isn't the 3090 just going to use the same PCB ?

Has ram modules on the backside of the pcb apparently.

Starting to think I should probably wait for AMD news...
Hm... decisions...

I looked at Joker's performance review/benches of the 3080 and yes its a 4K card.. but in the most demanding of games (RDR2) its JUST about a 4K card. Gets awfully close to that 60fps mark.. and by close.. i mean right on the line.

But then what are the odds of AMD bettering the 3080 realistically? Can't remember the last time they've turned up...

it is but with 2gb modules they can do a 20gb 3080ti and only use one side of the board.

if they use both sides it has to be 24gb I think. Then too much like the 3090

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Tear down video was cool

 

[Ezyryder]

I am waiting, I play at 1440p and the 1080ti still does everything fine, no harm waiting for RDNA 2 and see what the fuss is about.

The 3080 is a beast.. until next week when the word beast is redefined! Its actually a pretty good cooler as FE designs go.

Anandtech review delayed unfortunately, should be out next week with 3090 I believe.

Not sure where they would put them on the back

Data below is from the GN Review, comparing OCed 325W Strix 2080ti vs stock 320W 3080: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTeXh9x0sUc
=============
Traditional games
=============
RDR 4k: 72.3->85.1: 17.7% improvement
R6S 4k: 160.7->178.7: 11.2%
SOTTR 4k: 81.9->92.2: 12.6% (game is worst case scenario for new pipeline, lots of INT shaders)
Flight Sim 2020 4k: 49.1->52.9: 7.7%
HZD 4k: 73.9 -> 86.7: 17.3%
Total War 3K 4k: 42.4->46.9: 10.6%
DIV2 4k: 87.9->104.3: 18.7% (lots of traditional shading, best case scenario)
GTA5 4k: 87.1->95.5: 9.6%
=============
RTX Games
=============
Note: Strix was stock for the below RTX testing (i.e. not maxed out 325W PL)
Minecraft RTX 4k: 64.5->87.4: 35.5%
Control 4k Max RTX + DLSS: 49.2->64.8: 31.7%
Control 4k Max RTX: 26.5->36.2: 36.6%
Quake 2 RTX 4k: 23.8->34.6: 45.4%
=============
Summary
=============
Traditional games 2080ti->3080 overall (power normalized, sole major bottleneck removed): 13.56% improvement
4k: 13.2%
RTX games 2080ti->3080 overall (NOT power normalized, stock Strix vs stock 3080): 35.5%
4k: 36.6%

Played anything ray traced recently? I did with my 1080Ti and it brought it to its knees
