Rumor: First NVIDIA “Ampere” GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 specs surface

I'm interested in the power consumption of these new cards, seeing how Nvidia boasted "50% less power" (which I find far too optimistic).

 

We all have seen what 7nm did for Ryzen CPUs.... let's hope that it performs equal miracles with NVidia GPUs (not as easy with one large monolithic die instead of chiplets but we'll see what they do).

 

The fact that only rumours regarding the 3070 and 3080 is surfacing kinda indicating that nvidia will pull the same move as with the 1000, 900 and 600/700 series... only the titan will get the big chip initially, and then the 3080 ti will come with the big chip a year later...

I hope i am wrong though !

 

I think they more mean performance per watt.. not that they will actually use 50% less power. I doubt the TDP of the chips will change drastically over the previous generation.

 

Nvidia never said this, some random company out of Taiwan did and if you read the press release, it sounds like they just took all of TSMC's 7nm numbers and combined them.

 

NVidia does need to update their control panel a bit.... Making it anything like AMD's would be a mistake though. I absolutely hate AMD's new control panel....

I guess I need to update graphics drivers on my son's computer then. Looks as though NVidia stuck with a simple "maximum framerate" setting instead of a framerate range.... I wish AMD would go back to that.

Thanks for letting me know.

 

While i completely agree that the prices got way out of control, without any viable competition from AMD, our abstinence didn't stop everyone else, including tons of AMD users from buying RTX cards

I'm guessing these next cards will be priced along the lines of the 20xx Super cards, and not like the first RTX cards which were stupid expensive.

 

Last list of upcoming DXR games had one semi-interesting. They can have 50 games a year, but if people do not bite enough...
Intel will likely have their new GPUs around before large quantity of gamers even buy few games that support DXR.

Buy a new PSU mate. Something that can survive current spikes from 200W+ graphics card.
I went through your posts, and your postings hint that you have quite many more problems than driver related ones.

I for one have Zero driver problems. And I am even in target category which should have extra issues due to 240Hz Freesync.
Instead, I am happy for RIS improving IQ of all my games. Great performance and features.

 

Tesselation adoption was slow too, its normal progression.

 

So I would guess we can extrapolate that the 3080ti should be in the 5760 core ballpark then... The current TU102 has 4608 cores which is 50% more then the TU104 sitting at 3072. If the Ampere GA102 has the same differential over the GA103 (3080ti vs. the 3080...) then 5760 is 50% more then the 3840 cores of the GA103 (if rumors are to be believed). Whether or not the same bump over each sku transfers over to Ampere then the 3080ti could be a beast! And I know I'm speculating here but it's fun to dream so understand that before tearing my idea apart! lol...

 

no we can't extrapolate anything.

Is that an alien spaceship?...
