Question 'Ampere'/Next-gen gaming uarch speculation thread

[Kenmitch]

By three 6000RPM-fans doing their best to keep temps below 100C..

Remove the side panel and your rig will run circles around your monitor.

Only nvidia has exclusive Geforce Hover Mode.

That's one way to combat GPU sag.

I really feel sad for you and the others, months of negative publicity on Ampere, downplaying every aspect of it based on false rumors, only to see it all crumbling down in the last few hours, at least try to have some tehcnical dignity and wait for the final reveal before spewing nonsense.

It still looks like an overpriced furnace. The exorbitant cooler and 300+ watt TDP confirm that, and it's unlikely to change in the next hour.

No way in hell this is going to be faster than RTX 2080 Ti. Expect more RTX 2080 Super performance, instead, with those specs.

Bit vague, assuming meaning overall

Every CEO says something like that at every single product launch. They're hardly going to come out on stage and say "meh, it's a bit of a disappointment this time"!

WARNING: Nvidia does not recommend running Ampere-equipped computer with side panel open when children or small pets may be in the room.

So it was a 21 day countdown to a 8 day countdown?

 

[MrTeal]

So yeah, there is a quiet mode.

No. FE prices will be revealed today.

Im hoping for big surprises here.

Now this is actually hilarious.

 

[DDH]

Nope.

100% it does, or they are comparing it in a very specific, unlikely scenario.

If it was 1.9x performance per watt increase, it would be 166% more performance vs 2080ti based on tdp. So yeah, total bollocks

Isn't that a standard quote every generation launch? Inb4 ludicrous levels of performance

If real, I nailed it!
I honestly think that Nvidia saw AMD pushing TDP's to stay competitive in performance, so they said screw it let's push our chips as hard as they do to look that much better on FPS graphs and give consumers an option to easily dial back if they don't feel the extra heat is worth the performance.

28 bln Transistors, Samsung 8 nm Process.

 

[DXDiag]

BOOOM.

Such an odd hill to hold right before most of those rumors are confirmed.

2x FP32 is real.
28B transistors on Samsung 8 nm

 

[DiogoDX]

2X Fp32

 

[Glo.]

If Ampere GPUs have almost all of the GEMM stuff from A100 die in them it makes actually sense, why Nvidia is calling them Ampere, why it has so high density and so high Transistor count, with only few SM's.

I really cannot wait for Whitepaper on gaming cards.

Yeah, I think I have nailed this.

Its EXACTLY the same GEMM stuff from GA100 chip.

2X Fp32

Hmm.. didn't some people say that wasn't gonna happen?

 

[jpiniero]

Hmm.. didn't some people say that wasn't gonna happen?

IIRC the tensor cores can do some fp32 operations with Ampere. Not sure if it will translate into something that can be used with games.

Its THE SAME improvement that we got with A100.

Go look how "standard" FP32 performance looks on that GPU compared to V100, that does not rely on GEMM stuff.

What a pathetic post, Am I the one who insisted NVIDIA gaming cards are not coming this year? Am I the one who claimed they are 8nm? Am I the one who claimed so many other FUD and worthless posts and arguments that are devoid of any facts?!

The audacity of some of the members here who times and times again claim certain things to be absolute facts and then when they are proven wrong have no shame to show their faces again with yet another set of pathetic claims.

And then you dare talk to me about my post history!! LOL that's not even funny.

So the question is, do you have the 'audacity' to retract your post and come out of the hole you dug for yourself? Talk about eating your words...
