Nvidia RTX 3080, RTX 3070 Specifications Leaked

GA103: 60 SM arrays, 3480 stream processors, 320-bit video memory, 10 / 20GB GDDR6 video memory capacity.

GA104: 48 sets of SM arrays, 3072 stream processors, 256-bit video memory, 8 / 16GB GDDR6 video memory capacity.

Both new cores will be 7nm processes , but the foundry is unknown, and given the close specifications of the two, it is not ruled out that TSMC and Samsung can be manufactured separately. After all, TSMC's 7nm production capacity is already tight, and NVIDIA and Samsung have a good relationship.

Hmmm.

Well, that's not really what I was expecting unless clocks speeds jump up closer to 2.0 GHz on these GPU, or they somehow improve core per core performance around 20% over the RTX 2000 series.

If the core performance doesn't increase, but clock speeds do, then we're looking at the RTX 3080 being slightly better than the 2080 Super, but at 1.9 GHZ which is much more likely a bit better than the 2080 Ti.

The 3070 with the same 1.7 GHz and 1.9 GHz ranges between being on par with the base 2080 to being just above the 2080 super in performance.

Most increase unless it's better core performance.

[nismo370]

Nonsense.
"When compared with the previous generations, the all-new RTX seems to offer significant improvements if the leak is to be believed. The SM count and memory capacity has been greatly improved."

[CaptainHenry916]

Agreed

[iQuasar]

Might want to do a tiny bit of research before opening your maw and oppose a viewpoint. Taking a rumor article and their hype mongering as gospel is just stupid.

In context, you have a 2080 Ti running 4352 CUDA cores
This rumored 3080 is going to run 3480 CUDA cores.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
Envelope math says you either have to boost the speed by 20% OR per-core efficiency by 20% to make up for the deficit. That is just to break even with the current market. To get a generational minimum jump of 20% over that boost you are going to need to sacrifice something. My guess, power efficiency in order to boost BOTH speed and per-core efficiency.

Tell me how the Radeon vii did with 16GB of memory and a crappy GPU design?

More memory does not mean jack unless paired with a GPU that is hungry for it.

[nismo370]

iQuasar, you just a desperate AMD fanboy.

@nismo370

As @iQuasar said, yes it a big core increase when directly compared to the original 2080 and 2070, however, the rumored 3070 shares the same core count as the 2080 Super (2080S runs at 1.8 GHz), and the rumored 3080 has less CUs than the 2080 Ti (2080 ti runs at 1.55 GHz).

Once again means if the per-core performance isn't boosted by moving 12nm to 7nm, and the major gains are from 100 MHz - 200 MHz clock speed increases, then the 3000 series will perform similar to stair-stepping up from the 2000 series which isn't a bad thing, but not the jump I nor most people were hoping for. Again the big change will have to come from per-core performance boost which it should have moving to the new architecture, but I doubt 20% performance gains and closer to around 10% considering NVIDIA never struggled here to begin with.

[Born2Game83]

I hope the price is reasonable. $400-$500 for rtx 3080 and $300-$400 for rtx 3070.

[MadLad]

Find that realistic, but the $399/ 499 high end for each.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

Nvidia won't cut their prices that much. A current RTX 2080 Super goes for around $700.00 USD, give or take.

[Unspoken]

Maybe until big Navi. nVidia's lock on the market is driving these prices sky high.

[ssmilloy36]

the 1080s were reasonably priced per performance gain. glad i jumped then

[Energie]

As much as I would love this, its never going to happen. Expect prices to be similar to what they are now. Maybe the 2080 and 2070 will go down to those prices once the 3000 series launch.

[ABizzel1]

$400 for the 3070 is possible, doubt the 3080 will be anything less than $700.

[traumadisaster]

Is this website ok to visit? I’m interested in the content

[nismo370]

Can't wait

[FlyingFoxy]

Much better ray tracing as well as standard graphics performance, hoping the 3070 is a nice 1440p performer.

[2ndhandcorn]

A Nvidia Rtx 2080 ti costs $2049 here in Australia at PC case gear , Amd RX 590 is $289 lol screw Nvidia.

[Neonridr]

are you saying the 590 matches the 2080ti in terms of performance?

[tagzskie]

maybe what he means is price to performance ratio?, im still rocking my 1080ti so i dont know the benchmark of those 2 gfx. But you cant deny that nvdia is overpricing their video card, thats why we need amd to step up theyre game when it comes to graphics card

[Neonridr]

@tagzskie - I got the same card and I agree that the 20XX cards were WAY overpriced at the time of release due to the whole mining craze. I lucked out and got my 1080ti for like $850 CDN literally a month or two before prices took off.

I don't know enough about AMD cards since I haven't used one since my old Radeon 7870. I will wait to see what the 3080/3080ti bring in terms of real performance and then see how much Nvidia is gouging us for them before I decide to make the upgrade. I would like to jump to a 3080ti, but not if it's going to cost me like $2000.

[2ndhandcorn]

Not all but the difference does not warrant $1800.

[Shalawsorchi]

Costs more than next gen consoles.

[Neonridr]

significantly more

[nowitzki2004]

You get what you pay for.

[RazzerRedux]

We don't now what next gen consoles cost.

[Neonridr]

they don't cost 1000+ USD

[RazzerRedux]

We don't know that these cards will cost 1000+ USD.

Why compare costs of what things costs when we don't know what things cost?

[Father__Merrin]

Seems pointless if you've just bought a 2080ti all you will get is a bump on 3dmark score. The only positive is lower tiered cards will drop in price

[Mithan]

I doubt the new RTX3080 is much faster (if any) than the 2080 Ti. Jen Huang did say they are improving rasterization performance though, which will be nice.

Benchmarks will tell the tale, but I don't think I am going to see a worthy upgrade for my 1080 Ti unless they decrease price, a lot, which I also doubt, since they seem to be enjoying the new price floor they created the last couple generations.

Anyways, performance we will see with benchmarks.
Lower price? Forget it IMO.

[Neonridr]

I'd wait to see the 3080ti and then decide. That will be a huge jump over your 1080ti. I have the same card and I will more than likely be making the upgrade assuming it offers enough.

[Mithan]

no guarantee it will be a huge jump.

[Neonridr]

@Mithan - no, definitely not, but I would like to wager it will be a massive jump from a 1080ti. And if the pricing is good enough, I'd be willing to just jump past the 20xx series and get right into the 30xx series cards.

[Dwarrior]

I bought a 5700XT for 400 bucks when they came out in July. That's as much as I am spending on a video card. Paired with my freesync monitor, I run anything at 60fps+ at 1440p.

NV can take their exorbitant prices and stick them.

[Muzikguy]

I'd love one of these new cards but I'd need a new rig too. I really don't want Windows 10 either

[Wontime1]

If they go with 20gig vram these cards will continue the rtx pricing scheme.
Is there a game out there that utilizes more than 8?

[Dwarrior]

RE2 would like to use more than 8 in its settings.

[JRPG-GUY]

I was waiting for these to get announced. Can wait to sell my 1660 ti so I can upgrade.

[KaiPow]

20 gigs of VRAM, huh.. Wonder how future proof that will be.
