NVIDIA'southward GeForce RTX thirty serial graphics cards that include the GeForce RTX 3090 & GeForce RTX 3080 which are based on the new Ampere compages are launching next week and the memory specifications of these cards have been confirmed by Videocardz.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Flagship Gets 24 GB GDDR6X Retention, RTX 3080 Gets 10 GB GDDR6X

There have been several rumors regarding the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series retention specs. Now information technology looks like the flagship GeForce RTX 3090 will be placed in a purely ultra-enthusiast position when compared to the rest of the lineup.

According to Videocardz, the information comes straight from an AIB which has confirmed to them that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 would feature 24 GB of GDDR6X memory while the GeForce RTX 3080 would feature 10 GB of GDDR6X memory. There's a huge difference betwixt the RTX 3090 & the RTX 3080 when information technology comes to memory capacity but that's what the Founders Editon cards will end up holding.

There has been a rumor that AIBs might prepare the GeForce RTX 3080 variants with twice GDDR6X retentivity capacities. That would requite the GeForce RTX 3080 a total of twenty GB VRAM but nosotros cannot say for certain whether that rumor is true or not. Information technology is possible that a SUPER refresh afterwards next year would feature double the retention but that remains to be seen equally the main focus is on the cards that are getting announced side by side week.

Videocardz has also mentioned that the GeForce RTX 3070 is also expected to exist announced at the result. The pricing and general specifications of the cards volition be provided however more detailed & technical aspects of the cards such equally performance, thermals and power numbers volition be provided later on when reviews hit the web.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 - The Fastest Ampere Gaming Graphics Card

According to leaked details, the GeForce RTX 3090 volition feature the GA102-300-A1 GPU. The GA102-300-A1 GPU is said to be comprised of 5248 CUDA cores or 82 SMs. In total, that'due south a 20% increase in cores over the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. No details such every bit clock speeds, TMU/ROP counts are provided and we can't take the Ampere A100 die equally a reference since gaming & HPC parts share a unlike configuration hierarchy.

Moving on to the retentiveness side, things start to look interesting as information technology is stated that the card will get up to 24 GB memory with faster GDDR6X pin speeds. Since that'southward a 384-bit bus we are looking at, it will be able to offering nearly 1 TB/south bandwidth.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 - GA102 For High-End Gaming

Moving on to the GeForce RTX 3080, the rumor reports that the card will be featuring the GA102-200-KD-A1 SKU. This cut down SKU will characteristic the same 4352 CUDA cores as the RTX 2080 Ti that will be bundled in a total of 68 SMs. The card is reportedly going to characteristic up to 10 GB of retention that is also going to exist GDDR6X. Assuming the memory is running at 19 Gbps across a 320-bit bus interface, we can expect a bandwidth of up to 760 GB/due south.

The switch to GA102 from TU104 on the RTX 2080 is definitely an interesting ane. A loftier-cease SKU would as well effect in higher wattage and thermals but I believe this could be done to raise the bar upwardly on the sub $500 segment which should incorporate of GA104 based RTX 3070 and RTX 3060. The latest functioning leaks as well show a considerable operation improvement over the RTX 2080 and even the RTX 2080 Ti in synthetic benchmarks. If the same could interpret over to the gaming operation, then Ampere does look like a super enticing product for gamers who have waited for most 2 years at present.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 'Ampere' Gaming graphics card lineup is expected to be appear on 1st September at a digital effect which will be hosted by CEO of NVIDIA, Jensen Huang. We expect at the very least, three new graphics cards during the upshot which include the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (or RTX 3090), GeForce RTX 3080, and a next-generation Titan. There's definitely a lot more than to talk well-nigh regarding the Ampere GPUs only nosotros will have to await until more information comes our way.
