80GB of memory, yikes

Yeah well, this is targeted towards HPC and they're using HBM3, so there's that...

The previous gen A100 also had 80GB variants too, so it isn't unprecedented.

these things are only built for like supercomputers and large servers correct? or am I remembering wrong?

This thing looks like it's for slotting into cloud gaming GeForce NOW rack mounts

TSMC N4 node is probably just a marketing name for TSMC N5+ process?

I still don't understand how this device is connected... I don't even see the pins for the electrical source...

ArcanisGK507I still don't understand how this device is connected... I don't even see the pins for the electrical source...

On the back of the card, we see one short and one longer mezzanine connector that acts as a power delivery connector

The quality of the photos is quite low, there is focus loss all over the image - blur...

Is Hopper like Volta, that it's aimed completely for professional use?

Maybe it's wireless? :laugh:

These are snatched in like MXM, you can see traces (banded parts as well) alongside of screw holes, they don't plug in a computer case of the gaming form... so yeah.

They're covered with the molex caps

Yeah, those black covers just are over them.

Using tape

That's not a video card.

Video cards are huge, have at least three fans and lots of LEDs.

Like the RTX 4090.

Frank_100That's not a video card.

It is not, it is a calculations accelerator. The graphics cards are also calculations accelerators but they have video signal outputs, so you can see the results of the calculations directly visually on your screen.

Frank_100Video cards are huge, have at least three fans and lots of LEDs.

Not necessarily. The PCB with HBM memory can be very small and if the TDP is in check, then there would be no need for large aluminum heatsinks and fans.

Look at the Radeon R9 Nano:

We practically don't know anything about RTX 4090 yet. But yeah, it's a GPU, not a video card indeed.

Well, if you follow the leaks, there are some specs:


NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 with AD102 GPU rumored to ship with 100 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power - VideoCardz.com


NVIDIA AD102 'Ada Lovelace' & AMD Navi 31 'RDNA 3' GPUs To Be Power Chugging Beasts, Over 400W Rumored (wccftech.com)



AMD RDNA3 GPUs get new toned down specifications, Navi 31 with up to 12288 Stream Processors - VideoCardz.com

That's a lot of Tabasco sauce. It's amazing how densely packed this it front and back. Gotta hand it to the engineers on this one.

@700 Watts TDP it doesn't need any cooling? Is it supposed to operate in a container of LN2?

80251@700 Watts TDP it doesn't need any cooling? Is it supposed to operate in a container of LN2?

the cards looks smaller than the tanks used for ln2.

These are intended to install on an SXM socket and their intended usage is for HPC/data crunching :)

ARFWell, if you follow the leaks

They contradict themselves all the time... I wouldn't take anything posted on wccf or videocardz in a pre-launch season seriously or even consider it anything beyond daydreaming, these sites take a nosedive in quality, they'll post any rubbish sent to them on DMs or Discord for clicks :nutkick:

LenneIs Hopper like Volta, that it's aimed completely for professional use?

Yeah, though GV100 still had a 3D engine and was released to consumer channel even if through a meme of a limited release $3000 SKU.

This is much closer to GA100 or AMD's Arcturus and Aldebaran in nature as it's purely a compute card with no graphics output capabilities :oops:

Ada and Hopper will split NVIDIA's microarchitectures into two different ones geared at gaming and compute the same way RDNA and CDNA split, RDNA was an all new GPU meant to render graphics and little more, while CDNA took root in Vega (which was just as much of an insane accelerator as it was a bad gaming GPU), and developed from there.

Only 80GB?

This must be for the common folk

The more you buy the more you save. Will that be cash or credit?

Can nvidia release a card for broad consumers without rt cores? Would save up space for rasterization. Maybe a card marketed for competitive gaming.

ArcanisGK507I still don't understand how this device is connected... I don't even see the pins for the electrical source...

The connectors are covered in electrical tape in the second picture.

This is how a server for the previous SXM4 based generation of these look like, you can fit 8 of these GPU's in the sockets at the bottom (not the PCIe slots):
