According to Videocardz GALAX and Gainward are the first Nvidia board partners to tease its custom Ampere RTX 30 series of GPUs. In a recent marketing campaign held in China, Galax has teased their upcoming GeForce RTX 30 models with five posters, all having a hidden message embedded in the teaser.
According to Videocardz, all teasers are accompanied by one sentence, ‘we are about to witness the next generation Galaxy graphics cards’.
As evident from this leak and the posters, there are five custom series of GPUs shown, which include Hall of Fame, Master, Boomstar, Metal Master (these would be “the blue cards”) and lastly Gamer.
The posters/images convey the following messages, coming via translation. These are “One card with thousand faces, different from others”, “Your imagination, free construction”, “Firepower is power”, “Horizon World”, “Iron Armored Veyron, Hardcore Protector”.
On the other hand, Gainward is running a promotion, asking PC gamers to guess the price and the weight of the next-generation Gainward cards.
NVIDIA’s upcoming RTX 3000 series Ampere cards are rumored to be built on the Samsung’s 8nm process node. Nvidia has also recently ceased the production of the RTX 20 series of GPUs to make room for the Ampere lineup. Nvidia is hosting a Geforce Special Event on September 1st, and we expect the company to announce the next-gen Ampere Gaming GPUs. Custom AIB cards are also expected to launch next month.
Stay tuned for more!
Hello, my name is NICK Richardson. I’m an avid PC and tech fan since the good old days of RIVA TNT2, and 3DFX interactive “Voodoo” gaming cards. I love playing mostly First-person shooters, and I’m a die-hard fan of this FPS genre, since the good ‘old Doom and Wolfenstein days.
MUSIC has always been my passion/roots, but I started gaming “casually” when I was young on Nvidia’s GeForce3 series of cards. I’m by no means an avid or a hardcore gamer though, but I just love stuff related to the PC, Games, and technology in general. I’ve been involved with many indie Metal bands worldwide, and have helped them promote their albums in record labels. I’m a very broad-minded down to earth guy. MUSIC is my inner expression, and soul.

to be honest …. te better tech we get … the sh.ttier games we are getting …. i dont se a point why shoud i buy a new gpu for 800+USD …
Bro we do it because we can. I just might go and buy a 3090 just for the thrill of bragging that i have one in weddings and funerals.
They be like damn he rich asfk.
On the contrary my friends.
On a more serious note, yes i feel the same
Same here nothing worth upgrading for, I’ll just reduce some settings if needed and stick with what I have.
I cannot disagree on that though ! FWIW, I’m not upgrading this season, and I mostly play only OLD PC games, and my RX 480 is more than enough for 1080p/60Hz gaming.
Yep, I’ve also held off upgrading for some time now. Reasons include,
– Intel being in a mess in relation to 10nm and 7nm
– Intel’s removal of TSX (important for RPCS3)
– Ryzen having come a long way but IPC could still be better
– ray-tracing being in its infancy so Nvidia’s RTX cores will improve a lot
RT performance for 30 series is rumored to be 4-5 times better, ie enabling multiple effects at playable framerates and good resolutions (esp if you throw in DLSS).
At what clocks are you keeping your 480?
STOCK. No overclocking at all.
How come?
I mean to say I don’t tinker with the clock settings. They are left at the factory default values, and I don’t manually OC them either.
Obviously the card will boost to the default values set by the manufacturer though, which is MSI in my case, while playing games.
I haven’t touched the core/mem clock and Voltage settings. They are left at factory default values. BTW, my GPU model is the MSI ARMOR, which isn’t very good when it comes to thermals, so I avoid overclocking any of the GPU parameters.
Is this what you are trying to ask, or something else ?
As with all AMD GPUs since at least HD7000 onwards, you get less noise, less heat, sustained Turbo clocks with an undervolt. Possibly even an overclock WHILE having an undervolt.
So why not do it?
Yeah, so much “games as service” garbage. At least we’re getting Cyberpunk, that alone seems worth upgrading for.
Agreed, but from what to what? What’s an acceptable jump for say, a 980, or a 1060?
I’m trying to decide if I should finally make the jump to a 144hz monitor and what res I want to run it at.
Blame console sheeple
I think it has more to do with lazy greedy developers.
Two brands i wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole.
Why ?
Actually, both are pretty decent GPU brands. These are mostly popular in ASIA though, but I managed to get one Gainward Model few years back, and the build quality was rock solid. Sold it, and the fellow who bought my GPU told me recently that the card is STILL working fine, after 5-6 years ! No issues whatsoever.
Actually, some of the models from Galax, Gainward or PALIT are pretty good, but NOT all. I know ASUS, MSI, EVGA, and other brands are better, but these Asian GPU brands aren’t bad either.
GALAX made one Hall of fame/HOF GPU, and it won the best GPU award from several tech firms for the build quality and the PCB layout/design.
These Asian brands are cheaper though, except for some high-end select models.
Well both are asian companies so i do not know if i’m 100% right on that but i’m not hot on the idea of shipping a defective product all the way to hong kong or where ever in asia.
The only gpu worth noting would be the HoF version from galax indeed but it’s ugly (for my taste).
For your info i wouldn’t touch Asus (gpus) and Msi with a ten foot pole either 😉
I’m kind of sold on Evga’s designs. They aways go overboard with their pcbs and everything that’s on it. Check Gamer Nexus’ review of the X299 dark pcb (it’s done by buildzoid if i remember correctly). Evga have a track record of building really strong stuff AND their customer service is AAA.
But all of this is based on personnal preferences and personnal experience. One brand i liked back then was the BFG coupled with a zalman heatsink, for those a little older, they should remember 🙂
My biggest concern is the leaks have suggested the cards are massive. Unless its double slot within a certain length, it wont fit in my PC case.
LEGO RTX 3090 Ti confirmed
Great, I’m gonna get two of those babies. Too bad Nvidia doesn’t support 3-way SLI anymore, I would buy three of them.
I wouldnt even buy 2, SLI is dead and barely any games support SLI anymore. Its a massive waste of money to buy more than 1 card unless youre in the professional space but not so far in that you cant afford the professional cards
I think ‘Peter’ was just being sarcastic, imo. Was referring to the LEGO models more like.
OOOooooooo….woops, im a potato today lol
I expect this user to make a LEGO model for Ampere cards as well, lol.
