    Who is buying a 3080 and 3090?

    BTW the cooler on FE cards doesn't really look expensive. Sure its big, but that doesn't necesarily means its costly. Unless its magnesium alloy/aluminum like the GTX 690.

    IF #3 has right, it would backfire BIG TIME. Assuming the AIB cards were not up to speed compared to FE cards, you can bet social media would destroy nvidia. AFAIK only OC versions of ampere cards are coming later. So most cards should perform as FE cards, since the specs are the same.

    Shame on you!!!! I'm thinking of doing the same thing :D :D ;);)

    that's bull crap historically FE cards haven't ever gone up from MSRP at least in nvidia shop, wether you can get one in stock is another matter. Nvidia does not benefit from shortages, they get the same money from any GPU no matter if it ends up selling for $500 or $1000 to the end user...

    never heard of that, but I didn't play Splinter Cell back then.

    I had a BFG 5900 flashed to ultra, one of my best video cards ever.

    Good AMD mobo/cpu combo with DDR3

    yeah I guess, thing is they are not really cheap. Even B85 mobos go upwards $100 on ebay

    Yeah, I thought at least the 1000 series would support DDR3, bummer

    Good AMD mobo/cpu combo with DDR3

    thing is I can't really spend $1,000+ dlls on an upgrade right now.

    Good AMD mobo/cpu combo with DDR3

    So my gigabyte mobo just died, it was pairted to a i7 4770 I think its time to try AMD, but I have 32gb of DDR3 ram and DDR4 doesn't really make that much of a difference IMO. Any recomendations? Am I better selling off the ram and getting Zen3?

    So buy Ampere or wait for AMD response?

    what's the 4k bluray bit rate? Wasn't it like 50mbits? or am I thinking regular bluray.

    So buy Ampere or wait for AMD response?

    IMO Resolution vs Framerate depends on the type of games you play. Since you can't have the cake and eat it too (yet), you have to choose between one and the other. Since I don't do any competitive FPS, I really don't need 200+fps, and ever since I started using 4K, I just can't go back to...

    So buy Ampere or wait for AMD response?

    DLSS2.0 adds detail, rather than removing it. Unfortunately, it seems none of the DLSS games are being updated to DLSS2.0, which is a shame. I think the only game that was updated to DLSS2.0 was Control, but don't quote me on that one.

    It IS a paper launch, they were announced back in september 1st. If you refer about actual availability well, supply-demmand.

    So they will announce first the CPU that you can pair the RTX3000 series with. nice move. :D:D:D

    GPU Market Gets Flooded With Used GeForce RTX 2080 Ti’s

    Why do people keep doing this? If this ever happens, the same thing as always will happen. Settle, nvidia won't admit any wrong doing, the plaintiffs will get like $20 each and the lawyers will get millions. Case closed, next...

    Did nvidia throw a 1-2 punch to AMD with Ampere?

    can you source the DLSS 1.5 statement? I'm sure I saw it before can't find it. Edit: never mind I found an article on techspot.

    errr, DirectML is NOT open. Its MS exclusive.
  22. S

    Did nvidia throw a 1-2 punch to AMD with Ampere?

    AFAIK AMD will support DirectML AI upscaling on the SeriesX and Navi20 which is similar to DLSS. Wether its up to par quality/performance wise is anyones guess

    3080 10g and 4k

    I hope the 3070 IS the next 970. The "ram issues" never really affected it in actual games.

    Did nvidia throw a 1-2 punch to AMD with Ampere?

    you presume right, nvlink allows full access to the 48gb at least in cuda IIRC. Thing is that AMD doesn't have anywhere the support, middleware, features, etc, as nvidia. There is a reason other than performance why nvidia is the domint player in most of the markets its in.

    Did nvidia throw a 1-2 punch to AMD with Ampere?

    Well I guess after the dissapointing HALO showcase my expectations floored, also I've read reports that 4k on SeriesX is upscaled, maybe using AMD Freesclale or some sort of DLSS equivalent which I don't mind as long as it doesn't impact IQ. I think consoles will be very powerful, just not PC...

    Where do you get that? It seems to me the Series X will probably match a 5700 or a RTX2070 at best.

    I think AMD top of the line will fall between the RTX3070 and 3080 That's my best case scnerario

    Did nvidia throw a 1-2 punch to AMD with Ampere?

    I think AMD is better off going HBM2e, they already have experience with it and traditionally AMD cards are more memory bandwidth hungry. 16GB pm GDDR is only practically possible on a 256bit bus. while a 512bit bus is possible, its quite complex/costly to implement, more so at high memory...

    Did nvidia throw a 1-2 punch to AMD with Ampere?

    Well, to start, 16GB would mainly be useful for 4K and up, and none of those cards would have the power to drive games that would require that much memory.

    Did nvidia throw a 1-2 punch to AMD with Ampere?

    Mainly because Micron only has 8gb chips for now. 16gb are coming I think early-mid 2021

    I agree to some extent, but I just can't live with 640k anymore :D :D

    Did nvidia throw a 1-2 punch to AMD with Ampere?

    Also, It didn't really take that long for people saying $499 is now "cheap". I do gotta say the RTX3070 gives a lot of punch for the money. This would be my very 1st $499 card ever. My previous top was $369 for my current GTX1070Ti

    Did nvidia throw a 1-2 punch to AMD with Ampere?

    BTW there has been no mention of the rumored memory compression technology for Ampere, that would help explain the "low" memory size in the RTX3070/3080 cards.

    Did nvidia throw a 1-2 punch to AMD with Ampere?

    I know its still early to tell, but it seems to me that Ampere is a pretty big blow to AMD on 2 fronts. Absolute performance blow with the RTX3090, I don't think AMD will have anything that could come anywhere close to it. So once again AMD won't be able to claim the performance crown...

    So buy Ampere or wait for AMD response?

    I know its too early to tell, but at first glance, it seem that Well nividia claimed 1.9x bump in performance/watt. I just don't see anywhere near that. But I'm sure nvidia can come up with some metric that resembles that. AMD made similar claims with Vega VII and lets say it was not quite...
