Nvidia's 3000 Series RTX GPU [3090s with different memory capacity]

[Shortbread]

Pair of 3090's day one...

Honestly, the 3080 should have minimally 12GB of GDDR6X memory, or even 16GB on the higher-end of things.

I appreciate the lower cost. I suppose there might be a higher end variant, but this is sufficient for me.

I'm a bit bummed the 3070 only has 8GB.

As iroboto pointed out with the 3080, Nvidia was probably price-conscious on targeting the next-generation of gaming. Something they haven't done (i.e., reasonable pricing) in quite some time.

memory is getting quite expensive.

if you look at the 3090, with a minor increase in transistor size, but a 2.4x increase in memory, the price is doubled.

I am super suprised with the price. I have a feeling we will see higher capacity 3080 super or something with slightly faster clocks early next year. However this is a good price and I might end up buying it

You have to hand it to nvidia's marketing, they can now sell gpu's at $700 and people dont bat an eyelid

Now only if Sony and Microsoft could pull of that trick within the console space.

That 3070 has 12 pin connector

 

[Malo]

On the new cooler design, it really promotes having AIO CPU coolers. Since they're fairly common these days, I think it's definitely a viable design for the FE.

I wonder if any AIB makers will make their own versions or stick solely to established full length designs?

 

[Shortbread]

Comes with a PCIe 8-pin connector or adapter I believe.

 

[Davros]

@Malo all the aib cards ive seen use standard cooling designs
Is it 1 8pin or 2 8pin to 12pin on the 3070? i know its 2 on the 3090

Wait for the 16GB model.

They can now sell non-top end graphics cards for $700 and PC gamers say it's the best deal ever.

OTOH the mere suggestion of games starting to sell for more than $60 at launch is met with shock and anger..
Screw games devs in particular, I guess.

 

[Shortbread]

Nice...

Nice... very nice indeed.

According to the latest steam survey results 2.24% of people have 4k monitors

Nice... very nice indeed.

Its one of the biggest advancements in performance to date. Im not getting a new gpu this year but maybe 2021, nv comes with Ti or S versions sometime i think.
