Nvidia Ampere Discussion [2020-05-14]

[Jawed]

Can we try to keep the marketing hyperbole to a minimum here during this release?

I disagree - the hyperbole should be open for discussion.

Asus already did their press release.

Nothing we haven't seen before, confirming the gargantuan coolers.

I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but there's now mention of a dual bios, with "quiet" and "performance" profiles, which gives me Vega vibes.
Were there dual bioses in previous nvidia cards?

I thought this was 11:30 Eastern?

 

[Pressure]

Finally I can game on my 8K monitor!

On a serious note I hope they price them more consumer friendly.

Not long now.

I hope Nvidia shows us a new roadmap, they haven't done that in years and years now. I wanna see Hopper on a roadmap. I wanna see HBM3 on a roadmap.

Come on Nvidia, you have another team working on the next generation after Hopper, just like AMD is working on RDNA 4 right now.

Hyperbole just works.
Do we have the official link for event?

I thought it was Noon eastern.

10 minutes.

 

[BRiT]

Nvidia's own website has a countdown until Noon eastern time -- https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/

So it's start when I left my job, great (by car, so no watching...). Your move AMD

Asus's Turing cards had dual bios as well, even down to the 1650 Super.

Lol that's what I thought as well

2.7X TF of Turing. 30TF of FP32.

 

[Man from Atlantis]

8N, 28B transistor, 2.7X shading, 1.7X RT, 2.7X tensor power

Anybody who thought NVIDIA will do all the work to produce A100 on 7nm TSMC, and then dump all that on another completely different node for Geforce Ampere is clearly thinking in the most illogical and absurd way possible.

I guess Nvidia is illogical and absurd.
