Nvidia Ampere's colossal RTX 3080 heat sink has been snapped in greater detail

There you have it—further proof of Nvidia's next-gen Ampere Founders Edition design.

So this is what the RTX 3080 will look like then. The flurry of Nvidia RTX 3080 leaks continues with a Reddit user posting further images of an Nvidia Ampere Founders Edition heat sink, and it appears as though previous leaks were accurate as to the topsy-turvy design of the high-end graphics card.

Guess we'll be seeing benchmarks soon, I'll be interested in seeing the prices but I'll probably be eyeing up either a 3070 or 3080, which will no doubt be needed if wanting decently high frame rates using a 1440p high refresh screen.

Not sure on the amount of vram these cards have yet, but by the time that matters we'll likely have noticeably faster cards again maybe in 2-4 years anyway.

Yeah that will be about £750+ We need to see what these cards are capable of

UltraNova1429d ago

No, the 3090 will cost TITAN money. The 3080 will be around 750.

ABizzel11429d ago

NVIDIA use to do a 90 series back in the GTX series days, they stopped after the 600 series with the 690, and started doing the ti series for the high end in the 700 series 780 ti since they were already doing it with the low tier cards for generations (650 & 650 ti). So it's nothing new for them. That being said the 90 series use to be based on dual GPUs, meanwhile the RTX 3090 is allegedly a titan replacement.

Fishy Fingers1429d ago

My guess, they want to save the "ti" branding in case AMD pulls a fast one and competes for the performance crown, Nvidia could quickly push out a (likely hugely expensive) 3080/90ti.

ABizzel11429d ago

@Fishy

It makes sense, as they've done it before whenever they need to.

Saaleh1429d ago (Edited 1429d ago )

To me, this is far more annoying than exciting. Every new iteration they keep raising the price while the power of the graphic cards doesn't match these prices. They need to change that or else I will stay with my gpu for 6 years before i upgrade. I want to feel the hype of upgrading, so far they keep decreasing hype. Let's hope that changes with this iteration.

FlameWater1429d ago

Hopefully were at the phase of a price drop, most people already own the GPU of their choice and most games people play are already maxed out.

Game pass hasn't even hit the enshittification stage.
Xbox has proven they have no direction, they aren't looking after the developers they've acquired.

Competition is good & very much needed but Xbox has been a joke since Don Mattrick left, the only thing I've heard from Xbox since 2014 is words, empty words.

DaleCooper1h ago

You hit the nail on the head when saying "no direction". It really does feel like this with Xbox lately.

purple1011d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

I can tell you now, there will be A SEPARATE cod tier of gamepass

they will separate the two tiers, added onto of their existing 3 tiers, so now more tiers.... so Gamepass:ultamite:cod

EITHER THS:

or they keep same price, get everyone playing cod, then raise price 2-3 months after, sneaky little ****'s

Stopped reading after this.
"Xbox says Game Pass is profitable and I’m sure it probably is."

Just pure delusion.

You live in an alternate fanboy reality if you think game pass is profitable while in reality Microsoft is firing people, closing down studios, raising prices and making their games third party.

Some people just want to be lied too I guess...

danno_omen1d ago

They have investors and a board they are required to report to. They can lie about a lot of things and do, but profits ain’t one of them, especially in court lol

Xeofate21h ago

You don't understand, when we see the investor reports on this site they are reporting revenue not profit.

Microsoft has lost multiple legal cases for misleading investors.

It's well know that they manipulate and hide costs and losses in other reports in order to be able to present positive reports to their investors and the public on products they are trying to drive..

Why do you think they are closing down studios making major cuts to staff increasing prices and lowers rewards? It might actually be worse if game pass was profitable and they were doing this.

MrDead5h ago

No Xbox needs to be sold to a company that wants to grow gaming instead of what we have, a company that wants to own gaming... and get you to rent games.

All these articles speculating and guessing when what you need to do is look at MS and how they conduct business, they buyup, take the IP's, tech, etc they want, consolidate then shut down.

Smaller studios are chaff to MS, they have control of some of gaming's biggest IP's to use as leverage and are moving on.

How does a non-profitable, self-cannabilizing and non-growing sub service need a reset? It needs a bullet to the head.

“While we haven't even begun to tap into the full potential of the PS5“

We always here this statement yet we have plenty of games that struggle to run at solid frame rates or decent resolutions.

Skuletor20h ago

The developers should know the limits of these consoles, especially this far into the gen. I'd blame them and possibly the publishers, pushing to make games as visually appealing as possible at the cost of resolution and frame rate, which is nothing new in the industry.
