When do the next generation GPUs drop?

[Dan_Theman]

Ah! Good to know.

Are their system guides now suspect?

[John_Reynolds]

Bubba Wolford used to own SimHQ, he left for AMD for a few years. Dave Barron at Beyond3D was hired by ATi before AMD bought them out. Names not nearly as recognizable as the ones already listed, but I thought I’d mention them since they went to AMD/ATi.

Their last system guide is from January 2019.

I used to love system guides. Wasn’t there a site called Sharky Extreme?

[rei]

Yes and Thresh’s FIring Squad

And Blue’s News (still around)

[Freezer-TPF]

Wow, Blue’s News?

Now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time

[lordkosc]

Indeed, and the site format has barely changed.

[Freezer-TPF]

I find that extremely comforting.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Flagship Graphics Card To Cost $1399 US, Features...

[vyshka]

Is the 90 just a new name for the 80ti?

[Thraeg]

Sounds like it. They used to use x90 to indicate cards with dual GPUs on them, but with SLI all but dead, they may retire that.

[Knightsaber]

That’s three different price rumors I’ve seen today that are all wildly differing. Just keep waiting.

New name for the Titan, imo. There will probably be an 80Ti next year. Honestly, I think that card costing 1399 could be good news for pricing on the rest of the line, given the amount of memory it has. OTOH, the rumored specs on the series have more memory than usual, so who knows.

[lordkosc]

Unless the 3080ti is $1199, the 3080 is $999 and the 3070 is $799. ;)

[Misguided]

Of course that’s possible. Still hoping at least the 70 will be more aggressively priced because of competition from AMD

[Editer]

So if you have gobs of memory like that, does it increase performance because you can store more textures without streaming them in? I’m guessing no games right now were designed with 24GB in mind, given current consumer cards max out at 11GB. But I don’t really know how texture memory works on these things.

So if I’m playing a game that can max out 11GB, will it potentially see a performance boost with 24GB, due to the ability to hold more textures before it has to fetch additional data? Or would a game have to be written to take potential advantage of that much RAM?

(Glances over at Flight Simulator running at 3440x1440…)
