Nvidia Ampere GeForce graphics card spotted in 3DMark Time Spy

[HEXUS]

The mystery graphics card performed about 30 per cent faster than the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti FE.

Thatsa nice score if it is conventional cooling ASO

The price tag will also reflect that, and put it in a league where i dont even want to play.
OKAY i do want to play there, but only if someone sign me up on a contract where i only play like 1 game a year, and my salary are of previously unseen size.

its performance is pretty impressive - over 30 per cent faster in the DirectX 12 benchmark than a stock Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition.

Last generation increased by 35% over 1080ti so if this is the equivalent card it's not what I'd call pretty impressive especially given the process improvements. On the other hand, if this is a 2080 (super, non-ti) replacement, then maybe.

[Gentle Viking]

well if a athlete improved 30% year over year, that would be helluva impressive.
So i do think keeping this jump are still a feat though it is only electrons doing the running, and as seen elsewhere in computer hardware it is not a feat anyone can pull off year after year.

Even if i dont need it, then if AMD do a trade in of old GFX cards for new ones, and the new ones are in a similar price range as my 5700XT but 30% better, then i would consider this even if then i will have a full cover head for the 5700XT to sell.

That would be a 30% compounding uplift which is tasty from my 1080ti. But probably around the £1,500 mark. That will be a no from me

If its a 3080 then its impressive, but if its the 3090 (likely to be even more expensive than a 2080Ti which is already in ripoff territory) then thanks but no thanks unless the price comes down... a lot.

Someone needs to tell Jensen that gamers are not datacentre owners.

The chart was made by the website, not 3dmark.

Normally I'd go hunting for the result myself to verify it - have done the same for AMD before. Today though, I'm being thwarted by 3dMark commenting out the javascript that would allow me to check invalid results (as is the UI button to enable them and changing the URL parameter is ignored.)

Meh,if it's the RTX3080,maybe its interesting,if not then it's seems about par for the course. But even if it was the RTX3080 beating the RTX2080TI by that margin,if it costs £700 ~£1000,then another meh there. I am far more interested to see how fast the sub £400 GPUs are over the previous generation.

Well, not all of them anyway I'm sure there are some though!

I agree though, pricing is going to be important this time around, especially if lots of economies are going to be in recession.

It really depends on which class of card this is... if it's 3080 or even a 3090 then it's not exactly as impressive as we'd all like but if it's say a 3070 then it's actually pretty good imo. Then of course there's the price, if it's only 30% uptick over the last generation but the cost of the card is actually 75% of the current costs (we can dream can't we lol) I don't think we'd be complaining, it's just that we know that nvidia will likely price gouge us like usual....

While I'm looking at the upper end of cards (more for gpu ram than gaming) with my next build anything '3060' and above would be a 'decent' upgrade overall for me, I still don't want to pay stupid money for it though.

well if a athlete improved 30% year over year, that would be helluva impressive.

If humans evolved at the speed technology does we probably would..

[adidan]

If they carry on charging stupid money then it'll be a no from me. I'm not dropping a grand plus on a card.

[s000m]

Happy enough with my 2080Ti, for 30% I'm not going to fork out another £1300 price to performance with Nvidia is whack at the moment...

[[GSV]Trig]

I'd draw the line at £300 for a card, just waiting for all these people that upgrade to sell their old stuff, that someone midrange will buy, then the old stuff they get rid of I'll have lol...

It might not be for you, but there people out there who want the best of the best. If there are people out there building rigs with 2+ 2080ti's in NVLink then there is obviously a need.
