Nvidia Ampere & Turing (next GeForce) rumor thread

[mojothehut]

My 980ti isn't handling 1440p well anymore.
I really, really wanted to skip the 1080 line. But if these latest rumors pan out and
Nvidia isn't releasing anything new for a while. Guess I'll start eye balling the 1080 Ti *shudder*

Don't give up hope and don't pay more than normal price for a 1080ti. In a month we could be looking at GTX 2080 for $700 with large supplies. That could happen because no one has real info that sais it won't, and we know the 10 series is fading out right about now. Its time for a new gen. Did Nvidia state publicly they won't be releasing new cards this year? If not, then don't believe it.
I wouldn't expect a new Ti card for at least a year after the GTX 2080. Nvidia doesn't like selling us the card we actually care about, not at first anyway. They sell us the mid range, power efficient nonsense at flagship prices for an entire year at least, then they finally say, "Oh alright. Give us another $800 and you can have the real card this time". So yeah.​

If the increase in rated clockspeeds also is reflected in GPUBoost 3.0 clockspeeds, we're looking at +35% in just cores and clockspeeds before any potential IPC advantage is computed in.

I think Volta has shown something like a +20-25% IPC advantage over pascal? If it carries over to the 2080, we're looking at another +70% performance generation.

How come 16 GBps GDDR6 on a 256 Bit memory bus provides 576 GB/s of bandwidth?

256 Bit memory bus GDDR6 provides 512 GB/s of bandwidth. So most likely - its fake.

Also, 10 GB setup?

It's gonna be all over the internet and loads will take it at face value *face palm*

The image is just crappy enough to make it hard to discern or pay attention to some of those details.

Its not 16gps, but rather 18gps. So 576gb/s is spot on.

If it is 18 GBps - no problem.

But there is blatantly written 16 GBps, which completely invalidates credibility of it. Secondly - 10 GB of GDDR6 is impossible on 256 Bit memory bus.

Oops, yeah mistake or fake.

Re the 10gb vram, would be funny if they split it up asymmetrically like they did the gtx 660.

Or it's the return of the 320 bit bus, but that doesn't math out for 576 GB/s.

Would a 384 bit bus? I'd do the math myself had it not been for the alcohol amount that's been consumed he he. Honestly, I think we should forget about GB/s figures for now until we get some factual data.

12Gb/s on a 384 bit bus would make for 576 GB/s bandwidth, but wouldn't support 10GB of memory.

Hmm... What would be ideal for 18 GB/s GDDR6? Bus and memory amount wise?

Was about to look up some info on the new cards. I think the best course of action for me is to wait and spend the $7-900 or however much it will cost, on the Ti model. 2080Ti or whatever it will be called.

I'm very happy with my 1080Ti and I'm sure glad I bought it as soon as I could before the miners screwed us all. Haven't had any issues, it's stayed cool and pretty damn quite for now. I'm just too used to maxing things out now in almost any game I play so going with something that won't allow that will feel like a down grade to me.

It's not just miners. The world wide memory shortage is cause #1. Blame phones, cars, and other things that use memory - a whole lot actually.

You're right to hop from Ti to Ti!

980ti was $650. 1080ti was $700. Who wants to bet 2080ti will be at least $750? How far are they going to push this price creep? They want to turn all ti buyers into Titan buyers? I'm not spending $1,000 on a GPU. I have a cut off no matter what and $700 is just about right there.

Depends but I do see your point and I think the price will keep creeping up. Although I don't think it will go as high as 1k for a Ti version, especially after the price hikes with the shortage. $750 to $800 is what I want to spend for the next third party Ti. I usually sell my old cards or pass them on to my brother if they are too old to get a good price. Since PayPal always give you 6 months at 0% it makes spending on the GPU a lot easier. I always end up paying it off way before it is due but that's what I've always done. For me it's definitely the next Ti as I also play in VR and plan on getting the occulus v2 whenever that is out.

I agree, I spent $749 on the 980ti classified and $780 on the 1080ti FTW3. I don't think I would spend more than about $800 on whatever top end air cooled 2080ti evga releases with the expectations I have currently. I picked the FTW3 over the kingpin even though I really wanted one because the $1000 pricetag was laughable.

One of the reasons why I like going from Ti to the next-gen non-Ti is the lower power usage. It seems crazy, but when one room in your house generates more heat than the others, it won't magically get cooled more -- unless you have a ductless AC setup, but now we're splitting hairs. While I've never run any scientific tests, the upgrade from the 980 Ti to the 1080 made my room far more comfortable while gaming. Although, since I then upgraded to the 1080 Ti, if it's anything over about 65F outside, I have to run a fan in the room as it gets to about 75F inside and it just feels stifling.

Have You tried undervolting? That can easily shave 75w from 1080 ti ( ofc it applies to 1080 as well). Actually when compared to those 120% TDP OCed monsters that pump out 330w when at max load, one can have 225-250w card ~@1950mhz and sub 1V.

Nope, but it sounds like I might have to look into that. It would be nice to drop the heat in my room since it's starting to warm up a bit. To give you an idea, the rest of my house was sitting at 67F and my computer room was between 71F and 72F.

 

[TheF34RChannel]

Can we keep the 1080 Ti posts in its appropriate forum please?

 

[moonbogg]

One of the sad realities of a new card is there needs to be a reason to buy it. Right now the gaming landscape is a pile of crap. I can't think of more than a handful of games even worth playing let alone any that need more GPU power. My only hope for buying a 2080ti is the next Battlefield game. It better look sick and be taxing. Then I'll be happy and excited about a shiny new ti.
