Specs for nVidia Ampere Supposedly Leaked

Absolute unit. In awe at the size of this lad.

That's a mini PC confirmed, lmao.

And my 1060 3GB will have a tear shed for it when I bump up to that 3080. I know anyone with a 2080Ti is super salty. Used market for that will be trashcan. Probably gonna have to sell it at dumpster prices for like $400 tops now.

That marble demo was the most realistic realtime piece I've ever seen. And that Mount and Blade 2 demo of the PBR lighting! Cyberpunk 2077 with DLSS 2.0 will be amazing!
It's nice to see people such as yourself so excited. Unlike recent console conferences where people leave disappointed this one to seemed to be largely great.

Unfortunately not a lot of new information.
1. 30/36 TFLOPS FP32 for 3080/3090, which is strange, because actual perf is maybe 2x over 2080. But it's a good number if true.
2. New units for RT perf measurement "TFLOPS" useless crap. No way to now how good it is.
3. Tensor perf is measured with sparse-compression applied, again no idea what is the real perf.
4. Compute+RT means that: a) Turing was not compute+rt b) Navi is Compute+RT, i.e. rumors that they now use similar RT cores to RDNA2 are probably correct.

Anyone give a breakdown of a 3070 vs 3080 in terms of what your getting for the extra 200 performance wise? Or is it impossible to tell?

Honestly, If their IO Solution is really that good, than 10GB VRAM shouldn't be that big of a deal as it should be able to be streamed in pretty nicely.
I was so sure on that 3090 but that 3080 price + RTX IO really makes me have second thoughts...

I need to read up on the RTX I/O. They got a lot of new driver supported features.

Also, you guys get excited over theoretical numbers all the time over the PS5 with no real perf measuring. Why so skeptical on the Ampere?

That was 3080. They never gave date for the 3090. Unless one assumes they're both coming on the same day.

I wonder what will happen to the prices of new 2xxx cards. Those are way overpriced atm.

20xx series was overpriced from day 1. Unless they are on sale for dirt cheap, I don't know why anyone would want to buy one. For $500 you get the same performance as the 2080ti at $1200.

The thing no one is talking about is that slide showing the hot exhaust air in the 3080 going right back into your case, and more importantly going straight into your cpu heatsink.

I would wait for AIB's. At least their designs so far show a third fan for exhaust that is pointed down.

Can't wait to see thermals, and if these increase case temp by a large margin.

Terrible design.

I was wondering about this as well... I use a Noctua NH-D15 on my overclocked 10700k... won't this just push the heat directly into my cpu cooler? Maybe I'll have to swap to an AIO or something.

Told my wife we are ordering two 3080s. She said how much. I told her and she was like wow that’s less than we thought.

Her pc is on a 1070 still. My daughter is about to go from a 660ti to a 2070s. My son will have to live with a 2070s lol.

There is a difference. These are "marketing numbers" not theoretical ones.
I.e. they have no meaning without an A4 paper full of caveats (10pt font).

It's actually what he showed in the slide for air flow. AND HE SAID that it would get pushed by your exhaust fan. But the air is going to go right into the heatsink fins, and if you have a push full is going to get pulled through the heatsink which already is going to be warm if you have a 8-12core cpu.

Wait for reviews, people who impulse buy these are going to be kicking themselves when they realize they may have to re-do their airflow in their cases or buy a AIO.

That depends on the kind of CPU heatsink you have. If you are using an AIO, you could place the radiator somewhere else where it's not affected as much.

Yea sorry I should not have to redo my whole air flow for a card with a bad design that exhausts heat directly inside the case. Mine is setup with the AIO on top that pushes air through the radiator that is getting cold air from 3x140 intake fans from the front and a noctua 2000rpm fan in the back that acts like vacum for sucking air through it.

My case keeps one of the hottest cards the radeon VII cooler without having to undervolt.


So fuck that.

Poor design.
