Pretty sure Ampere's supposed massively improved RT performance over Turing is going to be a major selling point.
They better put out some more games with RTX then.Pretty sure Ampere's supposed massively improved RT performance over Turing is going to be a major selling point.

I have a 2080ti and I've maybe played 5 hours of games with RT on in the last year.

Quick question.
My monitors are overdue for a change. I plan to pick up the 3080 on release. Should I stick to 1440p & 144+ hz or go for 4K? Either option at 27 inches.

It doesn't matter what causes them to be developed. Next gen consoles aren't going to have next gen PC desktop-level performance anyway, so I'm not sure how their attempt at raytracing on AMD APUs will influence discrete cards.Those won't start showing up any signficant numbers until the next gen consoles launch.
I don't know if this rumour is credible, but it seems like all of Nvidia's Ampere GPUs will be fabricated at Samsung's 8 nm nodes instead of TSMC's 7 nm nodes.
We would need to know a lot more about differences between the two in order to be able to tell if it actually matters in the slightest. A lot node processes while having 1 to 3 nm differences can reach same efficiencies.

I'm hoping if this is true they will be able to have lower prices than if they had went with TSMC, Turing was too expensive relative to past generations.
Yikes, worse node and more expensive?
Maybe I'm generalizing and simplifying things too much, but what is it with nvidia and intel struggling so much with smaller fabs while AMD seems to be knocking it out of the park?
Then why the 8nm shrunk 10nm process? Maybe it won't matter much in the end?Nvidia doesn't have their own fabs, they pay fabs to produce their chips. Just like AMD.
There is zero indicators that Nvidia is having trouble with node shrinks for their designs.
Next Gen consoles having Raytracing support means a lot more pc games should also support raytracingIt doesn't matter what causes them to be developed. Next gen consoles aren't going to have next gen PC desktop-level performance anyway, so I'm not sure how their attempt at raytracing on AMD APUs will influence discrete cards.
Until there are a lot of games in different genres that support it out actually out for purchase, RTX is not a very good reason to upgrade imo.

Yeah, I can understand that. It's one of the reasons I skipped the 2XXX series - no RTX features in the games I care about killed off a big reason to consider upgrading.Until there are a lot of games in different genres that support it out actually out for purchase, RTX is not a very good reason to upgrade imo.
No one here knows. I'm guess it's just culmination of large chain of business and technical design decisions.
The FE cards seem to have the best silicon, ie, closest to set tolerance levels. So theoretically they can be overclocked consistently, higher, etc. And NVIDIA pick the best of the production batches for their branded GPUs. The second parties get the lower tier silicon, but typically their cooling solutions are be better, and they are cheaper overall.What's the best way to get a 3000 series at launch? This will be my 5th Nvidia GPU, but I've never tried getting them at launch. Are the founders editions any better or worse than an MSI, for example?
Asus design is more angular, but I do see some design similarities with Founder Edition 3080 card that leaked previously.Have people seen the new 3080Ti leak from ASUS?

Big Navi being faster than 3080 would be one reason for them to launch the 3090/3080ti so that they can have a faster card on market.So is there any reason to expect the 3080ti to come out alongside the 3070 and 3080, given that the ti cards have usually come out a few months later?
The ASUS leak does not look like it's made for a split PCB so I wonder if the AIB cards will retain the normal PCB style, the split PCB is only on nvidia made cards or if it was ever anything beyond a concept.
It is possible I've missed some info, haven't really been following it closely.

NVIDIA isn't picking and choosing what ones to keep for themselves and leaving their partners with inferior ones, they'd get sued out the ass for doing that. There are two bins, the "normal" bin for GPUs that meet the advertised clocks/spec and then there's the "OC bin" , that is used for FE cards and the overclock variations put out by their partners. Getting a FE doesn't guarantee it's going to be a better over clocker than say EVGA's "super clocked" or FTW cards.The FE cards seem to have the best silicon, ie, closest to set tolerance levels. So theoretically they can be overclocked consistently, higher, etc. And NVIDIA pick the best of the production batches for their branded GPUs. The second parties get the lower tier silicon, but typically their cooling solutions are be better, and they are cheaper overall.
I mean the actual shroud design, not the fan placement. Both designs have metallic highlights and both have black grills, although FE card these grills are actually cooler fin stack, while on Asus card it's merely for looks.Where?
The Strix looks like a standard 3-fan design, pretty different from the push/pull configuration of the rumored FE.
That's pretty pointless with how Nvidia Boost works.Can anyone calculate the teraflops amount, based on the rumors, for the RTX 3080/3080Ti/3090/Titan 2020?

Choice is based on price/perf, as usual. TSMC isn't cheaper by any mean. Remains to be seen if it's any better for Ampere specifically.Then why the 8nm shrunk 10nm process? Maybe it won't matter much in the end?

I'm not. With new consoles launching in just a few months in the $400-500 range for the entire system, prices need to come down substantially for people not to simply leave PC gaming and get an Xbox/PS instead.
I've been a PC gamer since I was 3, but for the first time I'm considering getting a PS5 instead since I find it difficult to warrant the 4x price for a gaming PC with essentially the same hardware.
What about 3090tiOhh I hope this is real.
related: the latest talk is that, where the RTX 3080 Ti will sit in Nvidia's stack, it will be below the RTX 3090 and that 3090 is not a replacement name for a 3080 Ti.
Two different products.
RTX 3090 could either sit below the RTX Titan Ampere card, or be the product that would have been a Titan.
Still small enough to fit in the PS5 though.
