I am just curious. Are some of the Ampere deals being posted for the 3080 and up selling out? Before the crazy crypto pricing, the 3080ti was $599 right around the time the 2080ti was released. I am on the fence with graphics cards. I need one but my need is not urgent.
There is supposedly a 3080 that is a rebranded 3080ti/3090ti variant with 20GB of vram. The chip will not qualify for the top line GPU's but does just fine as a 3080. The 20GB of video ram is Micron stuff. I cannot remember why it's 20GB of VRAM or if the GPU is actually out in the wild. Something about the PCB of the board with extra vram lanes/slots. Otherwise they would have to junk the chips. So Nvidia is supposedly making a 3080 with 20GB of vram.
TSMC would not let Nvidia out of their massive silicon allotment. Which means they really cannot delay the 4000 series cards. In addition they have a ton of unsold GPU's looking for new homes.
Definitely interesting times for Nvidia. Moving from Samsung silicon to TSMC 4nm. The rumors are (4000series) cards have massive core clock speed increases over ampere. The performance gains are supposed to be huge. I have also heard the RDNA 3 GPU's are supposed to offer huge performance gains as well.
So if I go the 4000 series route. It would be the 4070 for me. I need 16GB or more of VRAM because I have a triple monitor setup.

Don't you have that backwards - 2080Ti at $599 after 3080 released? I don't think I've ever seen the 3080Ti going for $599 (at least new).I am just curious.

It's been a long night and day for me. I meant 1080ti. I changed it in my original post. But the 1080ti was $599 right around the (2080ti)Turing cards were released.Don't you have that backwards - 2080Ti at $599 after 3080 released?

Hope someone finds something interesting on that box
The 2080Ti dropped like a rock once the 3080 was released as well. It would be nice to see something similar with 30 series when 40 series launches, although I wouldn't be surprised if 4090 is the only one launched this year so they don't have to cut prices too much or too soon. Also wouldn't be surprised if the price of a 4090 was $2k.It's been a long night and day for me. I meant 1080ti. I changed it in my original post.

I guess Nvidia can say what they want about inflation. If people are not buying because they are burned out from the crazy prices for GPU's. They can explain it to their shareholders at the meeting. The economy is in the tank.
I am confused. I thought the merge was successful?Difficulty hit and ETH is dead. RIP you insufferable bastard.
Hmm, obviously just leaks, but I thought the RTX 4000 were delayed until next year?New leaks:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 & RTX 4080 16GB/12GB max TGP and GPU clocks specs have been leaked - VideoCardz.com
NVIDIA RTX 4090 reportedly with maximum TGP at 660W Multiple sources have now confirmed upcoming desktop NVIDIA cards. We combined specs for upcoming RTX 40 GPUs from multiple sources of ours, but also reports from kopite7kimi and Chiphell who confirm some parts of them. What is new is the...videocardz.com
Supposedly they will be offering a 4090 24gb, 4080 16gb and 4080 12gb. Mid October for the 4090, mid Nov. for x80 cards.
I wonder why the 12GB 4080 is not simply the 4070? It seems pretty cut down.

Rumor has it that 4000-series is STILL "only" PCI-E 4.0.With PCIe 5.0, does VRAM even matter now?
AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT with Navi 31 GPU rumored to be the first consumer PCIe Gen5 graphics card - VideoCardz.com
If RTX is stuck on PCIe 4.0, AMD is IT!
With PCIe 5.0, does VRAM even matter now?
More than a rumor, it is on the leaked packaging.Rumor has it that 4000-series is STILL "only" PCI-E 4.0.
I expect AMD to be more practical minded. If they are going with PCIe 5.0, they have something special cooked up in their drivers to take full advantage of it, rather than just a checklist feature.I expect that if AMD will have PCIe 5, it will run less than 1% faster in a PCIe 5 slot than in a PCIe 4 slot.
I wonder if it will be DirectStorage related.I expect AMD to be more practical minded. If they are going with PCIe 5.0, they have something special cooked up in their drivers to take full advantage of it, rather than just a checklist feature.
I expect AMD to release Smart Access Storage with their 7000 series. That will move data from the NVMe directly to VRAM and decompress on the GPU.I wonder if it will be DirectStorage related.
And maybe could benefit (in time) from increased bandwidth.I expect AMD to release Smart Access Storage with their 7000 series. That will move data from the NVMe directly to VRAM and decompress on the GPU.
