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.

The 3090 is a big boy.

No tdp, no FE prices? The redacted. That 3090 price Jesus.


3070=2080ti @4k, with dlss no doubt

So no 3080ti? I guess I can go for the 3090 for once. But that thing looks like I would need a new motherboard from the size of it...3 slots. Currently have an entho evolve atx case which no clue if it would fit.

Prices are actually pretty decent, hopefully this means that RDNA2 is competitive. Most of the rumours panned out, 8nm Samsung, large cards, weird cooler.

Even that 1.9 perf/watt comparison was at 60fps 4k with RTX and DLSS. At the same power, it looks like the the perf is around 50% better.

No non-RTX comparisons is disappointing. I am expecting FE and almost all AIB prices to be significantly above the announced MSRP for the 3080 but we'll see. I have a feeling reviews won't be as kind for rasterized games with actual prices but I'd be happy to be wrong here.

Prices are as expected, pretty good. 3080 and 3070 will sell like hotcakes.
Yeah, we'll have to see what actual models look like. If decent cards are available for $700, that's not out of line with expectations and a good PP$ uplift. It's a hell of a lot better than Turing over Pascal.

3080ti is definitely coming. After rdna2 launch or announcement no doubt

To bad about the 10GB for RTX 3080. Not good enough to make me to upgrade.

I'm not too worried about that. With the gpu and nvme drive running at pci-e gen4 speed and 32gb of ram, I think the system I will be building soon should be able to stream in assets at least as well as the new xbox.

I'm actually surprised 3070 and 3080 prices aren't higher. Obviously 3090 is crazy halo but people will still buy it.

Looking forward to benchmarks

I hope so, I don't mind paying that price once. I've had my 1080ti for a while now. I would intend keeping the new card the same or longer. I just dont want to buy all new Mobo / case.

100% it is. They are probably stocking up the good silicon (the best goes to 3090).
