NVIDIA has just officially announced its new Ampere GPUs. According to the green team, the RTX 3080, RTX 3070 and RTX 3090 will be available for purchase in September 2020. Moreover, NVIDIA revealed the first gaming benchmarks.
The NVIDIA RTX3090 will feature 36 Shader-TFLOPS, 69 RT-TFLOPS and 285 Tensor-TFLOPS. This GPU will come with 24GB of GDDRX6, and will be priced at $1499. According to Jensen Huang, this will be the new Titan GPU for the Ampere series. The NVIDIA RTX3090 will be available on September 24th from both NVIDIA and AIBs.
The NVIDIA RTX3080 will have 30 Shader-TFLOPS, 58 RT-TFLOPS and 238 Tensor-TFLOPS. As the leaks suggested, this GPU will have 10GB of GDDRX6 and will be priced at $699. The NVIDIA RTX3080 will be available on September 14th.
Lastly, the NVIDIA RTX3070 will have 20 Shader-TFLOPS, 40 RT-TFLOPS and 163 Tensor-TFLOPS. This GPU will be available in October 2020, will have 8GB of GDDRX6, and will have an MSRP of $499.
Below you can also find the first gaming benchmarks between the Turing and the Ampere architectures. This is a glimpse at what PC gamers can expect, though we suggest waiting for more third-party gaming benchmarks.
Stay tuned for more!

This blew away all your expectations. 3070 more powerful that 2080ti at 499$ Nvidia stock is going to skyrocket.
Remember when people were saying 12 Tflops Xbox was “impressive”?
Believe what you see when we get them in our hands… Remember what they were saying for RTX 2series
Digital Foundry already did a benchmark on the 3080 on youtube. They got aroung 80% performance increase over the 2080 in several games they tested.
It kinda sucks that they didn’t show performance relative to the 2080Ti but they are under NDA and had to test exactly how Nvidia told them to.
AMD : our BigNavi is gonna beat the 2080Ti!!
Nvidia : Our 3070 already beats the 2080Ti.
AMD : …..aww sht here we go again!
lol, nice one !
No 3080 ti? Will it even be worth to upgrade from 2080 ti to 3080? Won’t it be a downgrade instead of upgrade?
wait till next year they will release the TI version
Excellent pricing and performance.
The rtx 3070 matching and beating the performance of the rtx 2080 ti is excellent news. If they priced it $349. That would’ve been the icing on the cake.

I wish i had all that money. Also i live in the 3rd world, im looking for 3 or more years until it gets a good price, and used btw.
Not gona lie thos pieces are rly good.
I rly wanna se what AMD will do.
The prices and wattage of the cards is proof that AMD has something good.
We know now that RDNA2 is more efficient then ampere.
You can expect a 3080 class card for sure but probobly not a 3090 class card.
I just want some rly strong and cheap mid tier gpu. They dont have to make the Strongest gpu cuz most of the ppl will spend max 400$ for. And cuztof corona ppl dont rly have money.
I just wonder how amd will respond with Nvidias new dlssr 2
World will be lucky if AMD manages to offer a card at 3070’s performance. As for going any higher, im 99% sure (history based) that will have nothing for us.
If thats ‘history based’ you have a really short memory.
Even xbox series x is pretty close to the 3070. In fact if they ram up clockspeed to 2.2 Ghz (we know they can) a 56 CU card will be at least that fast.
Now think what a 80CU card can do.
It will be GDDR6 not 6X.
I think Sony made a huge mistake not starting preorders before Nvidia showed their new cards. The PS 5 looks really weak compared to the new cards.
eh not really. console gamers aren’t gonna just switch to pc. console gamers just prefer consoles.
if those numbers are real, consoles took a massive beating today, i would not buy a console unless is supercheap
A 3070 has double(the 3080 has 3x) the Tflops of the PS5, the “powerful new machines” come out of this with a huge black eye.
I think people who play pc and console games are more likely to buy a new Nvidia card and wait on the console after seeing this. Especially if their main desire is power.
I agree, before this announcement people were saying “why not buy one of the new consoles instead? It will be cheaper and close in terms of performance.”
But now it’s clear these cards can tank anything “next gen” throws at them and with a competitive price.
Some people play on both. If you can get a 3080 for $699 and a PS 5 for $500-$600, I think most will see the value with the 3080 vs the PS 5 and choose to buy the card first and wait on the console. Consoles usually drop in price much faster than cards do.
>I think most will see the value with the 3080 vs the PS 5 and choose to buy the card first and wait on the console
You’re either insane or live in some alternate reality.
Almost nobody buys xx80 and higher GPUs, and average person sure as sh`t won’t get a $700+ GPU over a whole console that will cost sub 600$ and have very competitive specs, not to mention Sony IP….
I really don’t think ps5 is gonna be cheap. honestly a ps4 pro is still $400us… ps5 isn’t gonna be cheap. but ppl that love console will stil stick with it. i was once a console obsessed fanboy. no mattter what goes on with pc… the console fans will stay there no matter what!!!
I think you think most people have way more money then they actually do.
Let’s be realistic anyone already knew nextgen consoles would have the performance of around a RTX 2070 super at best. I don’t think this announcement meant anything to anyone that was considering a next gen console. Many people buy those because they don’t want to deal with PCs, exclusives or just consoles being generally cheaper and capable gaming solutions for the masses.
how on earth they tested Borderlands 3 that game its a stutter fest ???
wtfffff higher FPS even worse stutter
not planing to go over 120W – 150W for the gpu alone, ( and have a new 750W seasonic gold focus) so ill wait ( smart move ) to see if AMD has something with 1) more ram ( 10- 12 gb ) and much better power consumption numbers. that or 3060 but 6- 8gb is lame
HAHA that power supply can take RTX 3090 just fine.
I don’t get why pople think they need 1000W for high end gpus.
Gamers nexus ran tests just few days ago and 2080Ti + 10900K can run on like 550W PSU.
Excellent!
Time to upgrade from my GTX 970 to RTX 3070.
That will be a huge upgrade for you.
I have the same GTX 970 and will upgrade after a year or 2. The prices are going to be crazy inflated at the beginning of the launch period.
If there are shortages then retailers will price gouge especially if mining takes off again.
I have a 390 and might get a 3080.
I could not wait so i got a 5700xt. But than again i only play on 1080p 60fps
You will bottleneck af if you have a 4-5 years cpu.
i’ll wait for aftermarket cards, prices aren’t bad.
These things are going to sell like hot cakes. I am going to upgrade my 1080TI to a 3080. That 3090 is a monstrosity of a card I hope three slots does not become the norm. I will be interested to see if there is a performance difference between PCI-E 3 and 4.
DigitalFoundry hands on:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWD01yUQdVA ..
The “benchmark at 4K” thing kinda bothers me.. It’s like taking the most bottlenecking thing for the old cards (vram bandwidth) to make them look 1505200% faster than RTX 2XXX
if the don’t perform well in next gen games, with raytracing it will be the 680/780 series again.
Thinking about going with the 3080 and AMD’s new CPU whenever it comes out. I know the 3080 Ti will come out next year, but I suppose I don’t need that for 1440p.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0ce90d1e0f61f39d67d8daa0df46714c79cc83d484434bb9de4ba309f05243cc.jpg
Oh, look. More cards I’ll never buy because they’re stupid expensive.
Wait so do you need a new motherboard for these GPU’s? I remember we had those comparisson leaked pics earlier showing a pci size different. is that still the case? I was blown away when he pulled out that 3090 from the oven how damn big it appeared. You will need a monster case to house that thing LOL. Great prices for the 3070/3080. But yeah… I really see no reason to upgrade personally. Sure 24gb would be nice but I think i’ll keep rocking what I have. Wallet is safe
nvidia will 10000% release rtx 3080ti next year price 899$-999$ or they will price cut 3080 to 599$ and make rtx 3080ti 799$
Bro, don’t forget the super ti editon
Remember guys, wait for third-party Gaming benchmarks, and other in-depth technical reviews before making any purchase, or jumping on some conclusion.
Can’t *fully* trust any company’s internal benchmark slides, be it NVidia, AMD or Intel. Period.
metal i’m betting that nvidia will release rtx TI from march to june 2021 what do you think
I’m not sure about the Ti SKU, but we would surely be getting the SUPER variants next year though.
Imagine the achievement in life that is being called METAL straight. lol
Hahahah
I fully expect Titan RTX, Super variants and some Ti versions of 3060, 3070 and 3080.
Very good advice.
the truth you said sir
Amen
I’m trusting them enough to get a 3090. XD
I’m getting the 3090 as well , will be upgrading from the Titan X Maxwell so I am due an upgrade. I will buy the GPU first and then upgrade my i7 5820k as modern games will require 8 cores and 16 threads as well as PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD’s
I’m in the same boat I have the i7 5930k, I think I may wait till Zen 3 comes out then get the 3800/3700k CPU as the prices of the predecessor will drop considerably
I wouldn’t hold my breath about games using multicores (hope I’m wrong), as single core needs to go out the window.
I gave an i7 3770k + gtx 1080 lol This will become my new emulation/arcade cabinet machine
4950X + 3090 + 32GB of the fastest DR4 I can find will make for an amazing build. ???
Yes but the new consoles sport 8 core/16 thread CPU’s and if developers start targeting this as the baseline possibly we will need 8 core CPU’s on PC as well?. I think I may wait on Intel getting over their 14nm fabs before I upgrade the CPU and I will also be getting 32gb of the fastest DDR4 I can find.
Just because we have 8 cores then game developer can use all of them. In reality it is very game dependent. Game that is very latency sensetive due to competitive nature probably will try to stick to two cores as best as possible. Turn 10 (forza) said they still try to cram every processing into single core to minimize latency as low as possible. And that is pure DX12 game. RTS like games or games with open world setting (where many things can happen at once) will utilize more core.
8th gen console also have 8 core cpu but we still not seeing a situation where game cannot boot or unplayable because of quad cores
No I don’t think a game won’t run on quad cores even if it uses 8 cores on console but frame time variance will suffer as the CPU crunches through with less threads so I was thinking I need to upgrade my 5820k’s 6 core 12 threads to something newer. I will need PCIe 4.0 anyway for NVMe SSD and NVIDIA’s new streaming tech will work better on PCIe 4.0?
If you have the money to burn, go for it.
Titan X Maxwell vs 3090 is like a 6x performance improvement.
It’s not as much as 6x is it mate, I thought there was roughly a 40% increase in performance each gen?
DF has hands on,there is no REAL NUMBERS.
Just, RTX2080Ti = 100% and RTX3080 is also in %, what a bullshit Nvidia is doing LMAO
Yup. I saw their Vid.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWD01yUQdVA
They’re under NDA like everybody else.
DF has really been putting their integrity in question what with all the Nvidia and Microsoft-sponsored videos they’ve been doing.
I guess the combined money from Eurogamer, YouTube and their Patreon just isn’t enough to keep the bean counters happy.
The video is recorded before the official annoucement of 30 series. There is some NDA or the video will never happen. But we will see numbers soon.
They are comparing against 2080, not 2080Ti…
truth. these benchmarks seemed suspiciuos aF on the slides. Still regardless of the benchmarks… Can’t really go wrong either way with the price for a new pc build
Digital Foundry benchmarks – RTX 3080 is 80-90% faster than RTX 2080
All without optimized drivers and patched games. With optimized drivers and games patched to DX12_2 difference will be even better
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWD01yUQdVA
Yup, I have seen their video yesterday. Interesting performance jump though ! I want to frame an article on this story, but I’m waiting for some more benchmarks.
If you want more deep information about Ampere you should read latest blog from DirectX developer team about DirectStorage – Nvidia support that API as RXT IO
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/directstorage-is-coming-to-pc/
This is end of SATA SSD on PC. Because new API works only with NVMe drives:
“Why NVMe? NVMe devices are not only extremely high bandwidth SSD based devices, but they also have hardware data access pipes called NVMe queues which are particularly suited to gaming workloads. To get data off the drive, an OS submits a request to the drive and data is delivered to the app via these queues. An NVMe device can have multiple queues and each queue can contain many requests at a time. This is a perfect match to the parallel and batched nature of modern gaming workloads. The DirectStorage programming model essentially gives developers direct control over that highly optimized hardware.”
AMD also support DirectStorage and of course Xbox.
hope AMD has something competitive to offer but honestly doubt it.
I really hope AMD will have something competitive with 3070, more VRAM though.
amd will have something there but high end section has been a weak point for a long time.
RDNA2 will have DXR, DX12 Feature Level 12_2.
It only depends on price for performance right now.
I figured the 3090 was going to be the new RTX Titan when I saw the 24 GB VRAM leak. That’s $1,000 less than the Turing RTX Titan also.
I think they finally dropped the TITAN branding !
yeah he said on the steam the 3090 was basically their titan.
You forgot the CUIDA cores specs. Insane 10496 Cores for the 3090.

Holy mother of…
GOD !?
They didn’t f*k around this time.
It appears previous rumors were true.
Here it is! Samsung 8 nm and Micron. The announcement of Samsung and 8 nm came out of nowhere, as we were widely expecting TSMC 7 nm. Apparently NVIDIA will use Samsung for its Ampere client-graphics silicon, and TSMC for lower volume A100 scalar processors.

I guess you will be getting a 3090?
Nah, not yet. I have still not decided.
Well same moment when GTX580 only have 512 and then 680 suddenly have over 1500.
They did something with CUDA. Look at te TMU and Rop count on the 3080 compared to the 2080Ti.
Its the same yet double the CUDA cores.
Basically it seems like FX processor-like sharing of resources but for GPUs.
I know it sounds like a wierd comparison but it does seem like it lol.

You can basically devide the cores by 2 and add some IPC gain to get a clearer picture.
all AMD needs to do is claim : kids ” nvidia has not enough ram” and then offer 12 – 16 gb gpus . next claim ” rtx is bullshit” consoles dont have it, you dont need it. but you need more ram
Lol
If AMD has a card on par with 3070, with 12 or more GB of VRAM, I will definitely go for it.
“nvidia has not enough ram” – thats true but not a dealbreaker
“rtx is bullshit” – umm AMD will be able to run RTX games just fine so why would they say that?
Consoles do have ray tracing “RTX” is just branding.

Digital Foundry hands on with RTX 3080 hahaha
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWD01yUQdVA
No real numbers just, RTX2080Ti = 100% RTX3080 is also in % what bullshit Nvidia is doing LMAO

….Sony ??
i cant wait to go from a 1050ti to a 3070 🙂
Wish i could go from a 1070ti to a 3070 :S
RTX 3090 aside, the pricing seems surprisingly reasonable by Nvidia standards. Still, they could have done with having a little more VRAM.
+1.
Btw, are you planning to upgrade your GPU now ? Which card and Monitor do you currently have ?
I’ll probably wait for RTX 4000 series. In the unlikely event things are sufficiently remedied with Samsung’s process and consequently the size and thermals then I might be tempted by RTX 3080Ti (or Super, whatever they call it!).
At the moment I’m more interested in the Sinclair ZX Spectrum Next and maybe getting a Caterham 420R but I digress!
For £33,990 just get the 420R, haha !
That’s the base price. The spec I’d want including being factory-built is just shy of £47K.
Mind you these prices are for the ‘Founders Edition’ GPUs. Custom board partner and AIB cards are likely going to cost more than these, depending on the GPU brand and model.
Hmm, good price on that 3080. Would 2 3080 be better than a 3090?
