If the metrics they had in the graphs pan out Nvidia is in for a very good year, especially with the performance to dollar proposition against the 1000 series cards and upgrades. It's mostly going to be esports games like CSGO and LoL that push beyond 360 fps. I have a 1080ti and even at the lower level cards the performance bump and ray tracing is making for a compelling upgrade argument. There's no doubt Nvidia could try to fill it, but there's no real need to do so right now. That's not a bad deal in anyone's books. Does PCIe Gen4 matter at all?
More likely, though, it's going to be CPUs holding back the GeForce RTX 3080.So far, Nvidia has only mentioned 'vanilla' naming on the three RTX 30-series GPUs. We'll have to wait and see how that lines up, but being first out of the gate with 'reasonable' pricing looks like it is going to serve Nvidia well.Alan has spent far too much of his life in World of Warcraft and playing Magic the Gathering to be a normal human being, which is why he has retreated to the warm embrace of gaming hardware.
I'd also question whether it's really needed for PC gaming on a monitor, but let's not go there.
The new design should have less turbulence over the radiator fins, meaning less noise and hopefully lower temperatures.
New York, Nvidia says the RTX 2080 Ti could do 34 TFLOPS worth of RT calculations, and the RTX 3080 can do 58 TFLOPS worth. More probable is that we'll see a refresh of the RTX 30-series in about a year (or six to nine months?

Only the last item isn't easily more than double an RTX 2080 Ti. That RTX 3090 at $1,499 is clearly too rich for many, and Nvidia has recognised this and almost pushed it to the sidelines. Perhaps memory bandwidth will limit actual performance, or maybe the architecture can't sustain those peak values. NVIDIA RTX 3080: The enthusiast option for 4K gaming The RTX 3080 is positioned against the RTX 2080 Ti and the regular 2080, with the card available for $699.
That's present, which allows the RTX 3080 to drive up to 8K120 HDR via DSC. The RTX 3080 is a $600 card with up to 2x the performance of the RTX 2080. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang describes the new RTX Ampere architecture as a huge leap above the first generation. By Alan Dexter 01 September 2020. Some say the flagship card will follow the naming scheme Nvidia has used for years and be called the RTX 3080 Ti. We don't know when our review will go live, but either on or just before September 17 is a safe bet. Just in case you'd forgotten, the mighty GTX 1080 Ti also launched at $699, and while still a fair amount of cash, it seems like a decent amount to charge for a flagship offering.If your budget can't quite extend to that, then the RTX 3070 at $499 should come as welcome news.

Waiting a while for the initial hype to die down and then coming out with 'new' slightly faster models is what we normally see.But TSMC is getting close to production on it's N5 process, not to mention N7P and N6, so there might not even be time to do a refresh before Nvidia moves to a new node with even better performance.
It's difficult to say, but clearly Nvidia was able to build a large a powerful new GPU.After months of leaks and fake specifications, we finally have the full monty, and wow is it beautiful. The 3090 is bringing the titan class performance back into a stupid high, but maybe if I have a little too much to drink one night after a Christmas bonus range. Get rid of those items and add in ray tracing and GDDR6X memory, and you have a far more attractive gaming GPU.Let's also quickly discuss the TSMC N7 vs. Samsung 8N aspect.
Of course we'll have to see if that performance measures up in the real world, but I certainly applaud a return to vaguely normal pricing. It's going to depend a lot on the individual game design rather than any universal metric.On the other end of the spectrum, there's the 8K support we were just discussing. We've already seen CPU bottlenecks in many games with the RTX 2080 Ti, to the point where you often need to run at 1440p or 4K before you become GPU limited. ), where Nvidia bumps performance and keeps the same price, similar to the 20-series Super models.The same applies to the gap between the RTX 3070 and RTX 3080. 29.8 TFLOPS of FP32 shader performance, 238 TFLOPS of FP16 Tensor core performance, and 58 TFLOPS of ray tracing performance?
Probably not, but give it a month or two and things should improve.Either way, we'll know more in just a couple short weeks.
