It was then tentatively moved to Computex which got delayed several times until it was fully canceled and that forced Nvidia to create their own virtual event.After GTC was called off, it was reported that Ampere would be fully announced in August. Of course, this would be very confusing when taking into consideration that AMD is planning to release its Navi 21 cards later this year as well. There were rumors that Quadro RTX cards would be first released, with RTX 3000 left for later on, but that proved incorrect.Some recent leaks suggest that Nvidia will release yet another GTX 1650 card, which may be an indication that there won’t be any new budget RTX 3000 options this year.It is interesting that Nvidia followed established release patterns that goes all the way back to May of 2014 with the GTX 980.
Die im 8nm-Verfahren gefertigten Grafikkarte verfügt über 24 GB GDDR6X-Speicher und liefert 36 Shader-TFLOPS, 69 Ray-Tracing-TFLOPS und 285 Tensor-TFLOPS. The presumed flagship RTX 3090 will likely take RTX 2080 Ti’s position at the GPU throne with a likely price point in the range of $1000-$1500. While this was not confirmed in the official launch, it certainly sounds intriguing.When GDDR5X first dropped, it was a significant improvement over GDDR5, but not quite a generational jump. Here’s how it works in practice:Nvidia didn’t go into their new 12-pin power connector, but as we can see from the image of the RTX 3070 below, it’s definitely there. Although this has now been confirmed to be true, we need to state that RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 will take up less space and “only” two slots.It has recently been confirmed by EK Water Block (a well-known water cooling solutions company) that they are already working on the new water cooling systems for the next generation of graphics cards.As is the case with the previous Nvidia GPU series, the RTX 3000 will heavily feature ray tracing and there are some rumors suggesting that the new series is roughly four times faster than its predecessor.This bodes very well for Nvidia, as AMD is still playing catch-up in that department, and with rumors suggesting that not every Big Navi card will support ray tracing.The first rumors about NVCache started back in May, and as time goes on, they appear more and concrete. It’s an interesting thought, be we still believe that Nvidia will stick to the RTX 3000 naming convention.There have been other speculations going around that Nvidia will freshen up their suffixes and that we’ll get a ‘Titan RTX Ultimate’ or ‘GeForce RTX 3080 Ultra’, but those appear largely unsubstantiated so we’ll disregard them for now.Another interesting theory (almost on the level of some of the outlandish conspiracy theories out there) is that because 256 (the name of the original GeForce model) multiplied with 21 (years since its release and also days until their announcement) equals 5376 (rumored number of Cuda cores) it is now confirmed that their flagship will have that many cores. Ampere as a whole will bring 1.9x performance per watt improvements over their existing Turing architecture, according to Nvidia, and it will also make use of the world’s fastest memory standard, GDDR6X, which has been built in collaboration with Micron. Im Live-Stream zu Nvidias neuen Ampere-Grafikkarten der RTX-3000-Generation gab vor der Hardware neue Software zu sehen, die durchaus interessant sein könnte.So gab es unter anderem eine erweiterte Form vom beliebten Tool RTX Voice zu sehen und einen neuen Ansatz bei der Übertragung von Daten, der an die kommenden Konsolen erinnert.
