Rumor - Nvidia 3090

I like the part about clock speeds increasing. 2.5GHz? Nice...

could mean then spied something on AMD cards

if they are upping clocks already

:confused:
with the leaks underlining that "power usage is up too" with previous reports saying that the card was using around 230W when it was at 2.5GHz. We should expect around the same power consumption, or a little more, if the GPU clocks jump to 2.5GHz.

old Boost Clock was 2010 MHz ???

if they are cranking it that much look for it to be 300+ watts :eek:

These numbers feel suspect to me. That's a pretty big revision in clock speed. If you look at your standard GPU, whether Nvidia or AMD, the last couple hundred MHz costs you a lot of extra power. That's why you don't actually get a whole lot of extra performance from increasing the power and voltage.

As an example, a Asus 1080 Ti Strix I have runs at about 1875-1925 MHz at stock (maybe slightly overclocked by Asus to start). If I push the power and voltage all the way up, maybe it runs around 1975-2000 MHz while drawing ~20% more power. So that's only about 100 MHz gain, or about 5%, for 20% more power.

Maybe the 2000 MHz boost figure was a low bar, resulting in a lot of increased efficiency over Turing with lower overall power consumption? I guess that would make sense if this is going to be on a smaller process. But if they're going all the way to 2500 MHz I feel like not only is power use not going down, it's probably going up vs 2000 series. 2080 Ti already draws a fair bit of power though, so... :eek:
 
And on a huge die at that in 800+ mm2 but then large dies can dissipate more heat as long as transistor density isnt too high. Its gonna be a fun year to see how this new tech plays out...

Hey, I didn't write the article. :p ;)

The SKU we think is going to end up being called the RTX 3080 will feature a 320-bit bus width along with 10GB GDDR6X vRAM and 320W TDP. The SKU currently slated for the RTX 3080 Ti/Super designation will end up with a 352-bit bus width, 11GB GDDR6X vRAM, and 320W TDP. The flagship SKU, which is being referred to as the RTX 3090 GPU right now, will end up with 24GB GDDR6X double-sided vRAM, 384-bit bus width, and 350W TDP. All GPUs will feature 3x Display Ports and HDMI. The flagship RTX 3090 GPU will feature NVLink as well.

The information here seems to suggest that NVIDIA is planning to replace the standard TITAN brand with the RTX 3090. It contains the NVLINK as well as double the vRAM of its younger siblings and a seperate RTX TITAN card does not make sense with this RTX 3090 in the mix.

Bill grease up those limbs, you're gonna need at least two fractures this time around. :bleh:

I made more than enough to buy both a 1199 navi 2x and a 1499 3080 ti just last week with enough for leftover for hookers and blow :p

but will most likely only buy one or the other

but i would definitely prefer navi 2x this time
 
If those TDP figures are correct it's pretty crazy. Although I have a hard time seeing how 3080 and 3080 Ti would both have the same TDP, so maybe the numbers are suspect?
 
I used to be in the X80 club.
Then they upped the prices on each gfx segment.
So I became a xx70 guy.
Then they upped the prices on everything the gen after.
So a xx60 guy.
Now they will up it again... so I'll have to wait until 2021 to be a
xx50 guy?

They just took away all the low & mid range cards. Now we only have:
rich tier
super rich tier
billionaire tier

Aren't 90% of the cards which gamers buy under $300? (figure made up out of my ars).
Who are all these expensive cards for? What segment of the gaming population is this for? Do they just make 2000 cards of xx80ti super duper paratrooper edition, send 1000 out to reviewers, 1000 out to rich people then brag about how fast it is? Only crazies buy it at $1500 a pop?

It's claimed these will be cheaper than the 20xx series, will be more powerful and use less power. All the opposite seems to be true. Following every generation of cards since the dawn of time, I'm sure they will just keep increasing prices at every tier.

Here's my estimate:
3060 --> $479
3070 --> $799
3080 ---> $1199
3090 ---> $2499 Is this the new titan card? Is this a 2x gpu card now?
I'll win the lottery and buy everyone here a 3090.
3050 --> I bet they will call it the 3050ti super or something ridiculous. Should always call these "The red headed step child but lets pretend it's an awesome deal" = $299.
This $299 will let you play @ 1080p at best. Keep in mind many moons ago 1080p was the uber resolution and a crappy $149 card ran it just fine.

I'm sure AMD will have something that costs less for more performance with the tradeoff being a few driver problems and DLSS 3.0 feature missing. I'm sure they will have their own version of it, but no devs will put it in since AMD won't pay anyone to do it. Nvidia will pay a bunch of devs to include their iteration like usual.

I think what I'm trying to say is I'm like everyone else. I want to game at 4k/full gfx, 120+ FPS, but I don't have any arms and legs left to give for a new video card. (Wife already took the testicles)

I'll just end up spending the usual $400 every upgrade but end up with a crappier card each time (crappier relative to the generation it's in, and the power, and length in years of use I get out of it)
