Nvidia Ampere Discussion [2020-05-14]

[eastmen]

Is that confirmed???

Its what he said while showing it.


I am really impressed with the line up.It may be the first time i buy an nvidia card since the geforce fx.

Hopefully AMD announces soon and we can see whats what.

So the increased VRAM products might likely be the "Ti" or "Super" editions when they come out later.

 

[Pinstripe]

RTX IO for DirectStorage the console alternative on PC.

Is this Ampere only or also supported by Turing RTX?

 

[eastmen]

So it's Samsung 8nm for the whole lineup?
Then the marketing material claiming 7nm was wrong?


Transferring or decompression?

I think overhead on cpu

This presentation doesn't inspire much confidence personally. No performance comparisons shown without RT and DLSS. Im also quite suspicious of their 2 FP32 per clock. That 3090 also looks massive. What % of cases will fit it?

 

[London Geezer]

I’m not even a PC gamer but I just watched this whole thing and wow. Beast. Also, very good presentation all round.

 

[Man from Atlantis]

5248 * 2 FP32 * 1714MHz * 2 =36TFLOPS

The Ampere performance aside, I think some of the software side for gaming was impressive as well, with Reflex and the streamer tools. I don't personally care about a lot of it but they're excellent tools for a lot of gamers and further solidifies Nvidia in gaming IMO. Unfortunately it's going to be even more difficult for AMD to compete, even if their hardware is directly competitive.

@Ryan Smith claimed on-GPU decompression:

12:24PM EDT - PCIe 4.0, on-GPU storage decompression, and collaberating with Microsoft on DirectStorage

Yeah, I'm holding to seeing independent benchmarks. But the 3070 sounds very tasty.

 

[Kyyla]

Any idea on when we see independent benchmarks?

 

[DavidGraham]

NVIDIA announced the new number of FP32 cores:

3090: 10496 cores
3080: 8704 cores
3070: 5888 cores

All operating at a boost clock of 1700MHz

[Scott_Arm]

So two FP32 instructions per clock. What are the implications of that, in terms of being able to actually utilize it effectively?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I like that the 3080 is only $699

Need the whitepaper, stat!

 

[Rootax]

Sounds like beasts... The leak were well managed since lower than what we got it seems.

 

[SimBy]

Me too but there's a good reason why, no doubt.

 

[Picao84]

I'm quite puzzled that none of the cards come with virtual link by default. Any chance OEMs could launch cards with it? I don't want to dive into PC VR without it

 

[Kaotik]

Replaced INT32+FP32 with 2xFP32?

 

[arandomguy]

Prices actually went down, the prices listed in the presentation were FE prices.

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/30-series/

RTX 3080 FE $699
RTX 2080 FE was $799

RTX 3070 FE $499
RTX 2070 FE was $599
