NVIDIA Announces GeForce Ampere RTX 3000 Series Graphics Cards: Over 10000 CUDA Cores

[Dimi]

RTX 3080 it is for me. Should be a great upgrade from my 1070.

 

[Arkz]

They just wiped the floor with that pricing. 3080 for $699, 3070 for $499.

Really surprised they went so low.

3090 $1499.

Yeah but lets see what shops actually sell em at.

 

[Raendor]

Haha I feel so bad I sold my 2080 Ti to this dude a month ago for $1300 and he thought he got such a good deal because I included a $150 waterblock and the card was $1350 new.. Now it's worth barely $500 lmao

I’d still buy 2080ti for 300

 

[mrthanhnguyen]

Any info 3080ti coming? 3090 is the Titan replacement not 2080ti. I dont want to buy 3080 then they release 3080ti a month after that.

They always do, up to 6 months down the line. May be they call it RTX 3085 this time.

 

[Fluffmeister]

Very impressive indeed, and all those cores! Core blimey!

Damn the 3070 is tempting at that price, but let's be honest, I'd frickin love a 3090.

I think they’ll do the same thing as with pascal and release 3080ti with something like 14gb ram. I bought 1080 at launch in 2016 and since then decided never go fo x80 card despite that it was good. Makes more sense to get x70 and upgrade to x80ti fir the price of x80.

Any sane air cooling enthusiast can see that NVidia left a dumpster fire for Intel and AMD to deal with, by dumping the GPU VRM heat right into the CPU.

this is the first thing I thought
but maybe the think that everybody is into watercooling nowadays...

 

[nguyen]

A 2080 Ti at 2000mhz core clock is only about 17.5TFlops of shaders performance and the 3080 is 30TFlops at 1700mhz ?
But yeah the 3080 Ti if there is one will be the one to get, 1000-1200usd with 11GBs of VRAM that will almost match the 3090 (which basically is the Titan).
I bet Nvidia was able to get a sweet deal with Samsung 8N to get the prices so low.

that design would work perfect in some itx cases actually

 

[xkm1948]

3090 for me. Guess I will just retire the 2080Ti to my work PC.

It doesn't work that way. Memory works in 32-bit incrementals and chips are available in 1GB or 2GB sizes only. The next step up without stepping on 3090 is 352-bit, which is 11GB. Putting 22GB on is also way too close to 3090.

How, do you know something about RDNA2 performance that we don't? Remember "Ampere being 50% faster than Turing & sipping 50% less power" claims? How'd that turn out

1.9x perf/W last I checked. Nvidia definitely knows more about RDNA2 perf than you or me ~ so just like during the Zen launch you can be sure that, much like Intel, Nvidia is taking AMD seriously because they have to!

 

[Nater]

He called the 3090 the "new" Titan...but no mention if it'll have Pro CAD support...

Was hoping to avoid getting a gaming card AND still wanting a Quadro card for SolidWorks.

 

[Pumper]

Finally, some price cuts. Since there won't be this bullshit with "standard" and "founder's edition" at different prices, that means that both the 3070 and 3080 are launching at $100 lower than the 2000 series.

3090 is the new Titan, so that's a $1000 price cut.

Now to wait for proper benchmarks and then RDNA2 just to see if AMD will be able to force nvidia to reduce their prices even more.

The disappointing thing is that 3070 should have been at least a 10GB card and the 3080 12GB.

 

[boomheadshot8]

Just wait for release and they will tested, I think 3060 is also a good deal if it's around 350$

They're expecting RDNA2 to be faster and more efficient than Ampere ... whilst hoping the huge, brute force 3090 will retain them the absolute crown. Given how inefficient this is looking as an architecture, and that they're on a slightly shrunk 10nm process (that's what Samsung 8nm is), that will be touch and go too ... depends how big the biggest Navi 2x is.

In light of that, they can't maintain their current pricing model.

same, 2080ti going out into the living room for big screen and VR gaming.

 

[Calmmo]

I'm onboard the 3080 train, but not feeling confident on a 10gb card being enough for the next 2 years.

 

[chris.london]

The RTX 3090 is only 20% faster than the 3080 at twice the price. The 3080 will likely clock higher too. I think this settles it for me.

 

[Space Lynx]

How mature of you.

awww . well i wasn't the only one that thought it was in good fun, sorry, you want a hug?

 

[kapone32]

It all remains to be seen.

 

[Chomiq]

They're expecting RDNA2 to be faster and more efficient than Ampere ...

Based on what? A single RT demo or next gen console games running at 4K30 with checkerboard rendering?

 

[Legacy-ZA]

I am hoping for around $300 for the RTX3060. Perhaps we might even see a $175 price tag down the line for the RTX3050. Leaving a lot of room for the Ti's as AMD launches their new hardware.

 

[mouacyk]

3080 did step up an SKU tier though, from 256-bit (8GB) to 320-bit (10GB). That's a change backwards toward the Fermi refresh tiering. That has to be a sign of something to expect from RDNA2.
