Jim K Global Moderator Posted August 23, 2020 Global Moderator Share Posted August 23, 2020 Caveat: Obviously nothing is official until August 31. First, let's start with the size of this thing (RTX 3090) ... three slot behemoth: (Source) RIP SFF. Note: This is the rumored RTX 3090 Founders Edition so AIB will have a different design. NVIDIA, at least on their card, will be introducing 12-pin power connector (while AIB's may stick with 2-3x standard PCIe 8-pin). German HardwareLUXX has apparently received this adapter cable from Seasonic. It is a bit interesting as the 12-pin itself is smaller than the standard 8-pins. Also, the box states that "a power supply rated 850 W or higher" is recommended. Rumored are the prices...will see how this holds up: 3060 - $400 3070 - $600 3080 - $800 3090 - $1400 According to Hexus the RTX 3090 uses 12GB of 21Gbps GDDR6X memory theoretically breaking the 1TB/s barrier for total bandwidth. Though other rumors are it could have ~20GB video memory. I'm particularly curious of what happened to the "Ti" version, for example a 3080Ti....is the 3090 replacing it? Anyway, take everything here with a grain of salt until NVIDIA officially announces it.

Ci7 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 never seen the gain worth while with Top of the range $$$ wise far better of with 2nd or even 3rd like 1070 GTX vs 1080 TI Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1399243-nvidias-rtx-30xx-series-rumors-teases-etc/#findComment-598576176 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddman Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) The cards in that image are actually not to scale. This is the corrected one. It's still quite bigger, but not the monstrosity shown in the first image. EDIT: I almost always buy mid-range; really wish 3060 would not be more than $300. It almost certainly won't happen though, unless AMD starts a price war like they did with their HD 4000 line up, but given their financial situation, that seems unlikely too.

Jim K Global Moderator Posted August 28, 2020 Author Global Moderator Share Posted August 28, 2020 Updated rumored launch/specs ... September launch for all three: Quote NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 features GA102-300 GPU with 5248 cores and 24GB of GDDR6X memory across a 384-bit bus. This gives a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 936 GB/s. Custom boards are powered by dual 8-pin power connectors which are definitely required since the card has a TGP of 350W. The GeForce RTX 3080 gets 4352 CUDA cores and 10GB of GDDR6X memory. This card will have a maximum bandwidth of 760 GB/s thanks to the 320-bit memory bus and 19 Gbps memory modules. This SKU has a TGP of 320W and the custom models that we saw also require dual 8-pin connectors. The GeForce RTX 3070 also launches at the end of next month (unless there is a change). We can confirm it has 8GB of GDDR6 memory (non-X). The memory speed is estimated at 16 Gbps and TGP at 220W. The CUDA Core specs are still to be confirmed. Expand Another variant of the 3080 (maybe the Ti?) is rumored to have 20GB memory.

Expand Looks like they underestimated the number of CUDA cores. RTX 3090 10496 RTX 3080 8704 RTX 3070 5888 ________________________________ Next rumor is a 3070Ti with 16GB of memory...more than the 3080 though it probably has the slower 256-bit memory bus and non-X GDDR6. Quote Interestingly, Lenovo also confirmed that their Legion T7 system will feature the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti model. This SKU has not been announced or even teased by NVIDIA in any form. Though, it aligns with the rumors that RTX 3070 series will be offered with both 8GB and 16GB memory. What remains unclear is whether the model is really called 3070 Ti or 3070 SUPER, we have heard both names in private conversations with AIBs. Expand Videocardz ____________________________________ Also, I found this video interesting ... Digital Foundry hands-on with the RTX 3080. Not a full review ... but interesting.

Brandon H Supervisor Posted September 2, 2020 Supervisor Share Posted September 2, 2020 On your question of the Ti I'd like to think they're going back to their old release pattern. I didn't like how they released the Ti models at the same time as the normal ones on the last couple gens. Made more sense when the Tis were a minor hardware refresh a year or 2 later in the gen; hopefully they're going back to that pattern.

Jim K Global Moderator Posted September 16, 2020 Author Global Moderator Share Posted September 16, 2020 Pretty much all of the major site reviews have dropped with respect to the 3080 Founders Edition. ....etc Basically, a beast... faster than the 2080Ti ... Linus was disappointed mostly with Nvidia's claim (I guess) of it being twice as fast as the 2080Ti (which it isn't for games).

ZakO Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 "Bot protection was in place, orders were human" lol. Newegg have no idea what percentage of the orders were human, that's the point of bots that evade all known detection methods (even easier these days with tools like puppeteer). I managed to get an order in for the Founders Edition 3080 for RRP (£649), now just have to hope it turns up some time within the next few days and they didn't oversell. I was going to wait for the 3070 but after seeing the 3080 being only ~20% faster then an overclocked 2080 Ti I can't imagine the 3070 is going to match the 2080 Ti like NVIDIA claimed.
