I know it's a big card, but you probably don't need a dumpster for a case just to fit it.The 3090 is a dumpster fire.

I'm sure this fugly looking one won't be the only one with increased power limit....If you got the power to burn and are willing to deal with the heat.It might be power limited for FE, but it won't for AIB cards that aren't as power limited. With 20% more functional units, ~20% gains will happen.
AIB aren't really relevant here, since the discussion isn't how AIB are positioning their cards but rather how Nvidia is positioning them.It might be power limited for FE, but it won't for AIB cards that aren't as power limited. With 20% more functional units, ~20% gains will happen.
'Even if they didn't, 3080 Ti, does NOT have to be slower than 3090.
Go back and check Kepler 780, Titan and 780 Ti. 780 Ti outperformed the Titan.
Also note that was the last time that x80, Titan and x80 Ti all shared the same die.
I was thinking about it today - NVIDIA is already fabbing the Ampere architecture on TSMC 7nm with the A100. I could see them porting A102 and possibly even A104 to TSMC for an immediate 25% boost if they wanted to next year. After all, NVIDIA DID run both Samsung and TSMC for Turing cards as well so they might whip out a tweaked 7nm Ampere for the 4000 series. Given what we know about density between the two processes a A102 (3080) would drop from 628mm2 to about 450mm2 and consume a good bit less power to boot.
Good luck to Nvidia on getting 2 years out of SS 8N when AMD is poised to drop RDNA3 in 16 months on an Advanced Node, probably TSMC N5. I think Nvidia have to move to a chiplet based design and/or new node, either TSMC N5 or SS 7LPE, or else they'd face steep competition next generation. I also don't expect a monolithic design to be able to compete financially against a chiplet design, which is what RDNA3 will likely be.People said similar things about Turing. Soon see the 7nm version in 6 to 12 months max.
They won't. It's tens of millions of dollars taping out and getting masking layers made for a chip. They want to get a good 2 year run out of the chip to pay back those big up front costs.

HahahahahahahahahahahahahaI'd like Nvidia and their partners to immediately release RTX 3080 20GB models for not much more money so all the scalpers will be stuck with the crappy 10GB models and anyone who bought one over MSRP would get equally screwed. That would be pretty epic.
Funny you should say that, considering all the "wait for 3080Ti" I've been reading on this thread.Is it time to start the the "wait for RDNA3" posts already?
You can't count your chickens before they're hatched.
Certainly not from me. I expect that is months away, but a lot closer than RDNA3 I would bet.Funny you should say that, considering all the "wait for 3080Ti" I've been reading on this thread.
If it's anything like the 3080, they should be out on the 23rd.do we know NDA/review date for 3090?
It was a news release. They have booked 5nm wafers.I doubt NVidia does a TSMC 7nm refresh. Wasn't there a rumor from a while back about them booking some TSMC 5nm wafers?
If they can get enough of those it would be far better just to press ahead and getting to 5nm gives them a huge leg up over Ampere even if they don't make such aggressive parts. Going to 5nm is a bit closer to a node and a half improvement instead of just a full node step since the Samsung process is a lot closer to 10/12nm than it is to 7nm.
Even if Ampere is a bit rough around the edges in terms of the overall product, there's a good reason to be excited about future products. Even a die shrink itself will be a massive improvement, but there's no reason to think NVidia won't make further optimizations and improvements to their architecture.
I bet it was another rumor. This stuff tends to be confidential.It was a news release. They have booked 5nm wafers.
Leaks I've been hearing seem underwhelming. The 3090 is supposedly heavily power limited. Like 10% faster in most circumstances.I'm really curious of the 3090 reviews that will come this week.
Yea if that is the case it's an absurd waste of money to pick it over waiting for a 20gb 3080 (even if the performance of this higher ram card is no different than the 10gb 3080).Leaks I've been hearing seem underwhelming. The 3090 is supposedly heavily power limited. Like 10% faster in most circumstances.
I have seen 3 leaks. One with a bunch of gaming benches: ~10%. One with compute: ~20%, and one with Synthetic gaming ~20% (same synthetic was showing 10% in other leak).Leaks I've been hearing seem underwhelming. The 3090 is supposedly heavily power limited. Like 10% faster in most circumstances.
Wonder if they will dual source again on TSMC & SS 5nm.It was a news release. They have booked 5nm wafers.
I couldn't find an official statement, so , yes, rumor for now.I bet it was another rumor. This stuff tends to be confidential.
