Nvidia Ampere Discussion [2020-05-14]

[Voxilla]

There was a reason for postponing of review embargo and this reason was - many reviewers didn't really get the cards to publish anything on 14th. Hence why no leaks either.

So much less offensive than telling, sorry guys, but on Monday we have a big announcement we want the media to spotlight on.

Nah, I think "Nvidia can talk and chew gum" at the same time.

 

[Voxilla]

Come on do they think we are idiots, all the unboxing 4 days ago, boxes arrived perfectly on time.

No idea what that has to do with their Ampere GPUs

Hardware Unboxed and supposedly all other Australian reviewers who were sampled did not receive on time and were still waiting on theirs when other YouTubers were releasing their unboxing videos. They have them now but they were definitely delayed.

The media doesn’t cover graphics card reviews though. At least not the same media that covers $40bn multinational acquisitions.

Furthermore, conflicting with a big PS5 reveal (which is happening tomorrow) is bound to hurt a lot more than conflicting with a corporate announcement that has nothing to do with gaming.

Yes doesnt bode well for Sony to have it on the same day.

Yes doesnt bode well for Sony to have it on the same day.

Id say its the other way around.

 

[PSman1700]

Id say its the other way around.

That doesnt surprise me.

Jesus, what the hell does PS5 and Ampere launch have to do with each other?

Events on the same day is all I can possibly connect, but I'm no CSI Cyber.

 

[Rootax]

Two things which will make tech and gaming websites talk a lot...

 

[xEx]

Btw at what time does the NDA ends?

 

[Qesa]

6am PST, which is 8 hours 20 minutes from now

 

[Remij]

Man I hope I can snag a 3090 FE direct from Nvidia on the 24th. Gonna be F5'ing non stop lol

Not the review, but a nice video on the arch. As usual I like Steve style of présentation.
