With the Ampere GPU lineup’s launch dates getting close, more and more leaks are being spotted. The recent is the entry of what appears to be Nvidia Ampere graphics cards codes listed in the EEC database, as spotted by PC Gamer.
MSI has recently submitted multiple Ampere RTX graphics cards to the Eurasian Economic Commission, a total of 29 different SKUs. MSI has registered them as video cards, but without the actual GPU nomenclature. According to the listing of the EEC database three different GPU models are detailed, having different variations. There are the 602-V388, 602-V389, and 602-V390 SKUs, and if we go by MSI’s previous nomenclature, the lower number seems to be related to the high end cards.
There are a total of fourteen V388 models, eleven V389 and four V390 SKUs. But these entries do not fully confirm the RTX 3070, RTX 3080, and RTX 3090’s actual product codename.
For comparison, in the RTX 20-series V375 referred to the RTX 2060, V373 was the RTX 2070, V372 featured the RTX 2080 GPU, and finally the V371 code represented the high-end RTX 2080 Ti cards. So the V388 variants could be the RTX 3090 cards, V389 the RTX 3080, and the four V390 codes will house the RTX 3070 GPU.
Like mentioned before, from this listing it appears that three SKUs are in development, but that does not mean all SKUs are going to come out simultaneously, as some of the Models may never launch. MSI is just registering these variants. EEC submissions have been very accurate in the past as well, sometimes months ahead of the actual launch of these GPUs.
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.
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.

Interesting findings. I guess these custom cards are almost ready to hit the retail shelves next month.
Can’t wait for the price to skyrocket at the time of release tho, lol.

They are coming!
Wow
Is the RTX 3060 missing for now ?
Ah, ok. That makes sense then.
The mainstream/mid-range lineup will launch after few months. First Nvidia will release the RTX 3070, RTX 3080/Ti, and RTX 3090 GPUs.
I would not be shocked if a Sea Hawk edition was out sooner than expected.
“Ampere cards are rumored to be built on… Samsung’s 8nm process node”
Leo at KitGuru said that’s rumoured to be due to negotiations with TSMC having failed. Samsung’s process is not as efficient as TSMC’s process, hence the RTX 3090 having a rumoured massive power draw and being a triple-slot card.
So, if true, it seems Nvidia messed up big time. Might be worth waiting for RTX 3090Ti in the hope that TSMC manufacture it.
A so useless amount of iterations… Like Asus do… pump 20 Mhz on the core = new model LMAO
