Report: AMD And NVIDIA Launching Next Generation Flagships In September

few OC anymore anyway

and Ryzen even is better without a OC

and NV started boost clocks and they have been getting closer and closer to the max for both NV and AMD every gen

Where did you come up with that statement that few OC anyways?
 
From what I saw of my 2080 Ti, you also don't really gain much performance by overclocking 2000 series either. Maybe 5-10% at best, at like 30% higher power consumption. AMD and Nvidia have basically caught on and are now optimizing their products to not leave much, if any, extra performance on the table.

My prediction is next gen has next to no overclocking potential regardless of the chip manufacturer.
 
I think a lot of Ryzen owners just try and crank up the memory speeds as much as they can...it loves faster memory.

Yeah that was my thinking when I built my system. Decided to just go for 3600MHz memory instead of 3200MHz and not worry about OC'ing the CPU.

Also, I didn't try messing with OC'ing much at all, but from what I did play with I found increasing vcore to my 3700X would actually lose performance (Cinebench score went down) so not sure it would be worth trying. Mine is boosting close to 4.4GHz out of the box anyways so figured don't mess with it.

In regards to Nvidia - They have definitely caught on, but not in the way you describe. They caught on by severely limiting the cards max power throughput. I'm pretty sure if the 2080Ti was given a 500 watt max power - it'd boost to 2.3 to 2.4GHz.
 
Even if they allowed that, and the boost clocks were what you say, I don't know that I'd consider almost doubling power consumption to gain ~10% performance to be a "good overclock". To me that's more reflective of a product that's already shipped at the very edge of its efficiency sweet spot, with not a whole lot left on the table.

There's also the question of how well the chip would hold up being fed 500w? The limit may not be Nvidia being mean, so much as to prevent people from doing something stupid. There are certainly plenty of people who have managed to burn out their CPU by feeding it a ridiculous amount of voltage, so it's a legitimate consideration.
 
Gamers Nexus says the 3000 series is going to launch on September 9th. They say they were told directly by board manufacturers.

Ram/Vram requirements might become a thing this gen since most pcs don't have those new fancy nvme drives that the ps5 has.
