Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 spotted in drivers and benchmarks

What if the RTX3090 is a dual GPU card? The GTX590 and GTX690 were both dual GPUs? Would make the size make more sense!

Dual GPU would seem to fit the cooler specifications. Well done AMD, Nvidia are properly frightened.

It's probably all fake though. Previous cooler leak was a two-slot card and a bit smaller I'm sure.

edit: yep. This is 2 slot and the same kind of size as 2080:

That picture is of the RTX3080. The one I posted is for the RTX3090!

Yeah I get that, but all too easy to 'shop something like that.

I don't see a good way to fit two GPUs into that cooler. You'd need two PCBs, both opposed for some reason, and they'd have a rather wimpy cooler each. The fan layout is much better suited to one big GPU with most of the heat getting shed by the tower-cooler type extension at the distal end to the IO - previous nvidia dual-gpu cards would be a much better starting point than this (maybe not the 295x2 single-slot toaster, but titan Z seemed pretty decent thermally)

I'm impressed by their PCB routing skills - for either of the leaked cards, it's not far off fury size but with actual GDDR rather than HBM. Also goes to show that nvidia probably should have taken a leaf from AMD and just used an AIO for the cooler...

It appears memory is a real problem for Ampere:

It's consuming a ton of power and is clocked to the very edge! I wonder if Micron screwed up??

So cheaping out with a 384-bit bus on a top end card is a bad idea? Who would have guessed!
