2020 promises to be a pretty interesting year. Both NVIDIA and AMD will be releasing new graphics cards. From what we know so far, the red team will finally add support to hardware accelerated ray tracing in its upcoming GPUs. However, it appears that NVIDIA may retain its high performance crown.
According to Yuanta Securities Investment Consulting Co, the NVIDIA Ampere will be 50% faster than the Turing architecture at half the power cosumption. Moreover, NVIDIA’s Ampere will adopt 7nm technology.
What this means is that, theoretically, NVIDIA’s new high-end GPUs will be way faster than what is currently on the market. However, it remains to be seen whether these GPUs will be offered at competitive prices.
NVIDIA plans to release its Ampere GPUs at the second half of 2020.
It’s also worth noting that the green team will not host a press conference at CES 2020. On the other hand, AMD will be hosting one on January 6th.

Those sound like overly generous marketing numbers. I’ll believe it when I see some reviews.
Just buy it
I can belive it.
Nvidia will want to put pc much ahead of new consoles.
Then Rtx 4000 series will be same 30% upgrade in perfomance.
50%? LOL Okay. Surely those aren’t selective, or downright doctored numbers.
“Up to 50%” would be more accurate.
Still be too expensive. No competition with AMD out of the high end market.
*too expensive for you
Maybe get a better job, flipping burgers is for high school kids
You must be one of the lucky 1%. The remaining 99% of us don’t spend $1200+ on a new video card every 2 years.
Damn right man. add 500$ just for 5% performance boost! nope. doesn’t make any sense
Having a job that allows one to buy a $1200 GPU isn’t being lucky it’s a sign of intelligence. It means you picked the right career instead of being satisfied with nothing.
So you are saying everyone poor? Then you must be the richest person of the world.
Great, NVIDIA should be selling RTX3080Ti for $1700 then, would you agree?
Man makes me wonder if Amd will ever catch up to Nvidia’s performance per watt
AMD can’t even catch up to NVidia’s ‘performance’. The most powerful GPU AMD has released to date is barely competing with RTX2070
Because very few people spend more than 500-600 on a graphics card. Learn about silicon yields and it will make more sense.
His point still stands, AMD often doesn’t even have the technology to do such powerful chips even if they wanted to.
They do, the 5700xt is extremely competitive. At it’s price range it is a great card. To your point however, they could make a larger chip just like Nvidia does, but that falls into the category of yields and profitability.
that’s not the only issue. the biggest issue for AMD preventing them to compete with nvidia top flagship is their architecture power efficiency. right now nvidia still using 12nmFFN while AMD already using 7nm. can AMD create a GPU that able to match RTX2080Ti? maybe they can. but when nvidia coming out with their 7nm flagship will AMD able to create a GPU that will compete evenly with nvidia new 7nm flagship without breaking the 300w limit?
If extremely competitive to you means costing slightly less, consuming more (despite being 7nm vs 12/14nm), being about on par with the THIRD fastest card from nvidia and be riddled with countless bugs and problems, well then, yes it’s extremely competitive!
Yup because Nvidia never has any driver problems. Great point.
Not even close to AMD, actually, as far as i remember, i never heard of even similar problems with nvidia drivers, just very rarely about not-so-good performance fixed within days, since nvidia software team (like the overall company) seems much more active to me. And as a matter of fact, i’ve never had any problem with nvidia cards, unlike when i owned or suggested ATi/AMD cards.
Thank you for your anecdotal evidence. Check the Nvidia support forums.
You should check AMD’s actually, and also visit AMD section of reddit.
Sick of all this. Its almost like they have the tech ready, but give the people small bits and pieces every few months just to tease. This is getting boring from AMD / NVIDIA / Intell etc etc.
“It’s also worth noting that the green team will not host a press conference at CES 2020. ”
Of course they will not host a press conference, otherwise they need to infirm the rumours. https://media1.giphy.com/media/OF4PIvoHuO2ze/giphy.gif
RIP, AMD
I think it will be more like 15-20%, but I do think the price will be lower than Turing was at release.
I specifically meant average fps increase across the board, but yeah it does sound a bit conservative. I still think it could be acceptable if the pricing is low enough though, and the main thing is to just do enough to keep above AMD so they might hold back a little.
1. If you meant FPS increase across the boars then say so in OP 🙂
2. They are holding back just like Intel is/was on the cpu side.
Cross fingers for AMDs next gpu architecture to kick Nvidia’s azz so everyone can go back to the drawing board and get some real market competition.
Well, I hope you’re right, but it worries me that such a large increase will translate to an even higher price point. The upper tier already seems to be running away from most gamers at a scary rate.
Normally, I would agree but it feels like Nvidia has set a precedent with turing and it might be possible for them to get away with continuing the current pricing. Not that I think they will, as I said initially, I still think there will be a significant price drop but with modest performance increase.. at least until they see what amd comes up with and then they can unleash the full gains in the “super” skus.
Edit: I do think that 50% is realistic as far as rtx performance though.
That’s way lower tier cards excess, for those who can’t afford the upper tier.
What are you basing this guess on?
BS
Finally Disqus fix the goddamn notification bug…
Nope, I only now got notifications for replies from 2 days ago :/
Seems your turn isnt come yet xD just be patient. I think there’s tons of Disqus account out there that still doesnt get fix
CPU? go ryzen. GPU? go nvidia. so EZ..
Ah yes and double the prices due to:

What non greedy company do you work for?
I can’t even imagine. Here a 2080 alone costs a TON, way more than what it says on their website. 2080 ti is out of this world. I can buy a TON of phones and laptops for the price of just 1 card.
I cant imagine 3080.. i really cant. My brain is just limited (when it comes to expensive tech) and frankly, i don’t want to either.. even if i was capable of imagining huge numbers.
Locally the cost of 2080Ti is 1/3 of a used 4-door sedan.
XD Oh boy
Locally the cost of 2080Ti is 1/3 of a used 4-door sedan.
So buy a 2060 or 2070.
So buy a 2060 or 2070.
Thats not my point ;p But ye, ofc a 2070 is a much better purchase, cuz it doesn’t cost as much as a car or a million computers.
Id rather hear 50% cheaper
That would be great, but I’m sure they will be quite expensive and hard to get. The tech sounds great though.
go AMD then.
Your best bet if you want less for less.

This is real technological advancement unlike AMD, no doubt they’ll make this into the most expensive videocards yet.
AMD please step up your game. I want top of the line GPU for 500-600 € like in the past. I don’t want to pay for 1200 €
I think those days are gone now, just like with mobile phones, too many people are willing to pay stupid prices for flagships.
I will probably buy it because i skipped the current generation of graphic cards, and i need it for MS Flight Simulator, which is a dream come true.
That’s what happens when your competition sucks.
Some LEAKED update on AMPERE cards………
Main article…….NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, RTX 3070 leaked specs: up to 20GB GDDR6 RAM..…
NVIDIA Ampere: GA103/GA104 with 8/16GB and 10/20GB GDDR6 memory on 7nm
MyDrivers is reporting on two new GPUs in the Ampere family of GPUs: GA103 and
GA104. Long-time nerds and enthusiasts will note that the GA103 is an interesting entry, as we would’ve expected GA102 and GA104, but GA103 is reportedly powering the upcoming GeForce RTX 3080 and has some beast specs with it.
GA103 will reportedly pack 3840 stream processors, 60 SMs, and 10/20GB of GDDR6 on a 320-bit memory bus. The 10/20GB VRAM option there is an interesting one, as we haven’t had a card with 20GB of VRAM before. Moving onto the GA104, we have 3072 stream processors, 48 SMs, and 8/16GB GDDR6 on a 256-bit memory bus — this will take form in the GeForce RTX 3070.
We should expect the consumer GA103 card to have 10GB of GDDR6, while the pro levels cards in the Quadro RTX 3000 series to pack 20GB. NVIDIA could surprise gamers, however, offering up 20GB of VRAM on a GeForce RTX 3080, but I very much doubt
that.
What I do want to see, is GA102 — which will power the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and a new Ampere-powered TITAN RTX graphics card.
GA103 (GeForce RTX 3080)
10/20GB GDDR6
320-bit memory interface
60 SMs
3480 stream processors
GA104 (GeForce RTX 3070)
