When do the next generation GPUs drop?

Hell no.

Cyberpunk will sit there doing nothing until I have card in PC. Don’t care how long it takes.

Edit: It is annoying as hell that you can’t pre-order a card from anywhere. But well, F5 army represent?

But what if its 2021, and you still cant find a RTX3070/3080/3090, just OOS forever. :P

Well aren’t you Mr happy socks

Cheaper and faster than the 2080s? I’m sitting back waiting gleefully for the price crash.

Knightsaber · 2020-09-02T00:28:48.244Z

IT’LL JUST SIT THERE THEN.

Cool. October it is. Now when is Zen 3 out?

WTF, who wants this in their case?

So time for a dedicated NVMe SSD for your GPU. ;)

If that’s the only one that winds up available to purchase, I’m gonna rock it with some cotton candy RGB.

I mean this is also correct, despite my flippant princess comment earlier.

It’s interesting the wacky cooler exhausts some air into the CPU cooling stream. I might have thought you’d exhaust into that stream after the CPU, not before, which is what it looks like. Don’t want my CPU cooled with GPU-heated air. I expect they’ve thought of that but it looks a bit odd. Interested to see Gamers Nexus or someone dig into that.

lordkosc · 2020-09-02T00:50:11.313Z

Ok this is disturbing.

Australians must be rich, sweet baby Jesus.

ohmy

Dan_Theman · 2020-09-02T01:43:16.410Z

LOL - yeah, fwiw that’s pricing a 3080 at $836 US. In the UK, it’s £649 which is $868 US.

So Australia’s not the only one feeling the Nvidia pinch.

Nvidia’s RTX 3090 demo emphasizes the absurdity of 8K gaming

The RTX 3090 can run games at 8K with the help of DLSS, but that requires an outlandish gaming setup to get the benefits of.

RTX 3090 is the beginning of the end for resolution.

Ah ok so the three 8-pin setup of Asus cards are needed because they use up to 400 watts.

Asus made its new ROG Strix cards 400W behemoths to give Nvidia Ampere room...

Only the ROG Strix and TUF lineups are getting the flagship and Titan-esque Nvidia Ampere GPUs.

Can someone explain the reasoning behind 10 Gig? Why not 12 Gig? I mean 10 gig would mean 5 banks of 2. So why not do 3 banks of 4 Gig instead? I’m sure they’re doing 6 banks of 4, or 3 banks of 8 for the 24 Gig version… so why 5 banks of 2?

Brad_Grenz · 2020-09-02T02:20:43.430Z

It’s done for memory bandwidth reasons.
