That's the thing, I'm a first generation customer of nVidia who expected the state of the art for the same relative cost as the first GPU, that's around the price of the 3070 but it's not the state of the art. A 256bit bus 21 years later is not progress IMHO, especially when there's 384/512...

Yes* *Unless it has Quadro Ampere level of performance, but I understand Marbles Ampere was on Quadro 8000 Ampere with 48GB vram? Quadro 6000 for £1400 could be worth it, if it has the drivers.

So once again some forum comments are pushing the price up with a concerted and especially invented scarcity? I thought going with Samsung on a worse process with higher yields and higher power draw meant demand could be met? I thought OCUK said supply was good? Moot points anyway as clearly...

As an aside I'm of the opinion that talk about VRAM is a challenge to developers, how efficient can you make things? Definitely you could do at least 1440p with 2096px textures, and likely higher. Distanced based geometry is similar, yet at least 20 in use?

It's running lots of watts? Just that.

So it's extremely inefficient?

it was really good until half life was released, its going on 25 years, full circle tech demo?

i'm more worried about people thinking 30% performance with +30% power use is progress, the same folk probably think £500+ for anything less than the best chip is acceptable.

why would you be playing quake 2 in 2020?

So still no actual reviews? I feel sorry for those who sold and may pre-order, it looks pretty inefficient and mot much better than Turing when push comes to shove.

Did you all not pay attention to what was said about marbles @ 1440p? It was a Quadro RTX 8000.

why would nVidia jeopardise a few hundred million (at least) product launch? Gibbo and others might have, however... Still waiting on an explanation for pricing variance. Supply constraints at fab is not going to wash, especially on Samsung.

If your spending that much to play games and brag about creating inflation, damn right it's enough (right now). If you're actually making stuff?

Agree it's by far the best of a bad bunch, here's a slight improvement.

2 million poly's per second or was it per frame, it's a while ago? Was a great card, fond memories and it was put to use.

Good for you, I'd definitely never do it, if new stuff can't run on air then it's no good. Like the G5's in 2005 just before Apple threw the towel in and saw the x86 light.

Water should be no where near a computer in my opinion. Definitely not inside it.

I'm purely looking at the provided justification and visualisation of heat exchange in the new cards, which could cause people to unjustly think they have a CPU bottleneck purely from induced thermal throttling...

Better than sticking with semiotics of a radiator though?
