Rumor: Nvidia Ampere (RTX 3xxx) 50% faster than current Turing GPUs at half the power consumption
- Thread starter Earvin Infinity
- Start date
Only if they want to play on max setting and 4K. Cyberpunk still needs to run on a base Xbox mate.
My RX570 is sweating. I was looking to get a 3070 or 3080 for 1440p144 but 3070 might actually be enough. I'm hyped now.
I reckon it will give even a beastly 2080ti a proper workout at 1440p.
Probably, just depends. There's games out there right now a 2080Ti can't max out at 1440p60fps probably, like RDR 2.
I have $450 or so in Dell funds to use and am considering using it for an RTX 2080 to replace my gtx 1080. Could then sell my 1080.
Sad thing is it would be just to play Quake 2 with days tracing, ha. I don't play a lot of PC games in recent years that wouldn't run on a potato.
Tricky thing is I *might* need a PSU upgrade if I do it.
And apparently I still couldn't run Q2 at ultrawide 1440p.
This gen of ray-tracing comes off a little like the first gen of card with hardware T&L...by the time games came out that could use it well, performance was garbage anyway.

That's only "it might happen" type of thing, the Ampere leaks have said the xx80 & xx80Ti will get price drops, the rest will stay the same.
2080S might get a price drop if big Navi launches soon, otherwise, it will be replaced by the 3060 this year.
I can see people are moving the goalpost yet again for Nintendo. They're always doomed no matter what...
As for Ampere, I'll wait and see on the price.
It makes little sense to cut the power consumption by half, and do 50% performance. Usually the industry do either less power with same performance, or more performance at current power. Going from 12nm to 7nm would probably mean they can doubled the cores for the same power. Add new architecture and improvements, this sounds plausible. At least on some tasks. As in 1.5 performance on the same power or a little lower.
I bought a 1070 back in the day and then a shady landlord's sketch as hell house destroyed it with illegal wiring. GPU prices went so crazy in the meantime that I was never able to get back to that bracket for anywhere near the same price. High performance is so expensive at this point I don't care what they do above the xx60 lines.
The money you would had saved on your electricity bills you give away to NVIDIA.
I paid £500 for my 980ti and it hurt enough then. It's going to be a while before I can afford to get in at that level again tbh.
I'm in this thread now, but, I'm planning on a full system rebuild second half of next year, so until then, I'm sticking with my 2080 Ti. I'm more sweating when the *next* cards after the 30xx series launch.
If this is true, I am in day 1!! I'm so ready to ditch this GTX 970!!
And with Cyberpunk coming out, it's the perfect time to flex the power of Ampere!!

Yeah, no way my 1080 can handle it in 4K properly. I need these cards like yesterday for Iceborne too lol. Oh well. Certainly not gonna spend a grand on a 1 1/2 years old GPU. Absolutely bonkers.
About time Nvidia put the pedal to the metal, (and increase every variant by 100$ again, Founders Edition lol)
AMD showing signs of life and Intel trying to get into GPU market.

AMD is only matching Turing, so unless RDNA2 is much more of an improvement, then AMD is only going to fall behind again.
And Intel's first dedicated GPU is a mobile gpu.
Possibly. The first half of the year is so stacked with high profile releases, it should be pretty easy to distract ourselves with other games.
£350 just about gets you a used 1080ti on somewhere like OCUK forums right now. It's mad.
Frankly even when these new cards come out its probably only going to drop 2080tis down to like £500 used.
2080 Ti and I am upgrading when the new Nvidia GPUs drop. I am going to move my current Ti to an external GPU case for my new MacBook Pro.
The article probably got it wrong. I mean, samsung with EUV 7nm LPP is not even claiming crazy numbers like that.
Compared to its 10nm FinFET predecessors, Samsung's 7LPP technology not only greatly reduces the process complexity with fewer layers and better yields, but also delivers up to a 40% increase in area efficiency with 20% higher performance or up to 50% lower power consumption.
OR, not AND.
And the thing is that for example, Nintendo with the tegra revision did not see it as a necessity to add more power (would segment the platform), so they went with better power consumptions from 16nm to 12nm. But this does not make sense in a competitive market with iterative GPUs. So of course Nvidia will push the card for higher performances to shut down any chances from AMD and just be "ok" with power consumptions since AMD sucks so much at this.
Seems like it. I almost bought into a 2070 super from a 1060 6GB, but i guess i'll wait on CES and Nvidia conference to really see what's coming. If i have to wait 4~6 months to have the best experience, so be it.
I really want Cyberpunk 2077 with RTX (or Volkan RT, DRT, whatever solution is best and if AMD has something to compete), even if i play at 1080p if i have to. But i'm not wasting that first playthrough with this kind of game on a subpar experience. This game is everything i've ever dreamed of since playing Deux Ex.
this is the worst PC gaming centric article I've seen. Will make sure to never bother using that website for any quick research again (not that I usually did, but good to know that they are on 100% shill level)
1080 Ti was too good for it's time, i think this will be the first time a 3 year old GPU beats next gen consoles & a first time a 3 year old GPU is considered high end.
There was rumours they made that GPU super good because the talk about Vega & HBM2 scared them, it might be right after all, if Vega could have got better clocks it would have been scary for Nvidia.
If bitcoin keeps dropping, man is it going to be a good time to upgrade a 1080 ti. Hoping for a $600 card that's 2x across the board a 1080 ti with new features and architecture improvements that will improve performance over time.
I have an AMD 3900X and an Nvidia 1080 ti. Nah, I'll play. I imagine I'll have to run at 1080p with some lighting, ray tracing, and AA reduced, but otherwise at max settings. CDPR does a good job with performance even at RTM, and they'll improve performance over time with patches. I recall Witcher 2 doubling fps nearly between RTM and the GOTY edition. Witcher 3 not as much, but still a bump.

Nah, I'm gonna be running it at 1080/60 on my 2070, so I'll be fine.
I'm not expecting my 2080Ti to do 4k Ultra at a locked 60fps, but certainly with slightly lower settings and VRR to eliminate any potential stutters.
I'll still want a 3080Ti though once it's announced. I know I will.
It's actually good that Nvidia cards hold their value so well in the second hand market, especially in comparison to AMD cards. Means you can sell them on and get a good chunk of cash towards your next upgrade.
I imagine 3070 will be %10/15 more powerfull than 2080ti with better ray tracing stuff, 12GB vram, same power consumption and 400€. I think that's not so distant from reality other than price. xd
A 2070 isn't more powerful than a 1080 TI so I doubt it.
Anyone expecting a jumper bigger than 15% perf from 2080ti to 3080ti is being hopeful
I think it'll fall right long those lines

nah. Bought a 2070 super in November. No regrets.
I also use a 1080p 144hz monitor, and don't care about max settings.
Gen to gen increase tends be somewhat bigger when it's paired with node shrink, but people expecting 50% or more will be in for rough time.
I would guess 20-25% for Ti to Ti and a lot forum salt over pricing.
could have always bought one for 900-1000 in germany, ok maybe not on release but some months later. i dont really get people who buy shit at msrp
