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

[Ottonomous]

How much is the Samsung 7nm EUV process expected to provide in terms of gains?
How will the RTX components be scaled/developed?
Any major architectural enhancements expected?
Will VRAM be bumped to 16/12/12 for the top three?
Will there be further fragmentation in the lineup? (Keeping turing at cheaper prices, while offering 'beefed up RTX' options at the top?)
Will the top card be capable of >4K60, at least 90?
Would Nvidia ever consider an HBM implementation in the gaming lineup?
Will Nvidia introduce new proprietary technologies again?

Sorry if imprudent/uncalled for, just interested in the forum member's thoughts.

Push pull heatsink confirmed.

The weird Founders Edition design is kind of a hybrid of a blower and axial. The bracket fan exhausts directly out of case, and the other fan exhausts into case.

$700 RTX 3080? Holy shit, they are terrified of RDNA2 if this is the release MSRP.

 

[MrTeal]

3080 being the same price as the 2080 isn't terrible.
The 3070 claimed to be as fast as the 2080 Ti, but I'll wait on reviews for that. $500 though.

 

[Hitman928]

Jensen keeps calling the 3080 the flagship as well, available Sep 17. I'm guessing the 3090 will be released after big Navi.

No way a decrease in price vs Turing launch

They do if they expect AMD to be competitive and launching soon.

Better to have low prices out of the gate and get some good will than to have to drop them anyway in a few months if the competition does turn out to be formidable.

I suppose it depends on how well they managed to reduce stock of the older cards as well. If they don't have a lot of old inventory then it's hardly a problem.

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

LOL are you even watching the same livestream as the rest of us?

 

[StinkyPinky]

Honestly I like the design. Looks pretty pretty pretty good.

 

[lobz]

wow, 3080 for $699 with that performance is finally a GPU launch that was worth waiting for!!!

 

[lobz]

LOL are you even watching the same livestream as the rest of us?

the post of mine you've reacted to was about you bashing @Glo. senselessly, while being completely wrong about the manufacturing process used

 

[jpiniero]

Says "Starting At" though. The FE I'm sure is more.

 

[StinkyPinky]

Those prices aren't too bad actually!

 

[StinkyPinky]

When are the reviews?

 

[DXDiag]

Now where are all the pathetic Ampere is only 35 faster than Turing claims? huh?

 

[MrTeal]

Holy christ that's big.

 

[Glo.]

Did anyone noticed no comparisons between previous generation in gaming?

In Rasterization?

Why would they not show it?

 

[Saylick]

Yeah, probably another $100 or more for the 20 GB version.

 

[DiogoDX]

$1500

 

[Saylick]

 

[Mopetar]

When are the reviews?

Probably at the various launch dates for the cards. Even if we get something early, it's going to be a few weeks.

 

[MrTeal]

My soul isn't worth that much.

 

[StinkyPinky]

Yeah, probably another $100 or more for the 20 GB version.

I'd pay that if that's the case. I know the ram is super fast and more than offsets the slightly lower vram compared to the 1080ti for example, but with next gen games coming out I'd rather be on the safer side.

Give it a rest already.

 

[TESKATLIPOKA]

I don't know about the rest, but price and price/performance ratio looks pretty good unlike what we had with Turing.
Does It mean RDNA2 is that good or It's because of new consoles released this year?
