NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Launch Postponed to October 29th

[dicktracy]

Imagine actually thinking Nvidia will care about slow AMD graphics card lol!

 

[Shatun_Bear]

The 3070 is gimped with a paltry 8GB memory and is made on the awful Samsung 8nm process as we all know, so power draw is going to be awful compared to RDNA2.

I've heard AMD are going to match 2080 Ti performance with a 40CU card clocked around 2.4-2.5Ghz. This will pull Nvidia's pants down as it'll draw less power, have 12GB of memory (GDDR6) and cost $50 less.

3070 is a $500 card bud...what is listed at $800 on the NV website?

You can count the amount of people that got Ampere cards at those prices on two hands probably. This is Nvidia's marketing 'trick'.

I've heard AMD are going to match 2080 Ti performance with a 40CU card

What about the 80CU part? is it going to beat the 3080 by 50%?

 

[ricperry1]

Why isn't this delay assumed to be because they want to see capability and pricing of RDNA2 cards? I think they are considering a price adjustment and don't want to piss off the launch customers by reducing the price a couple of weeks after their initial sales.

 

[Vayra86]

and don't want to piss off the launch customers

That's just wishful thinking on your part lol. They really don't care about launch customers, they're lemmings anyway. I vaguely remember the first Titan... lol. People oughta know better by now.

The 3070 is “gimped” with a paltry 8GB memory

Yeah, because it hurt the much more powerful 3080.

 

[Shatun_Bear]

What about the 80CU part? is it going to beat the 3080 by 50%?

Maybe '80-90%' according to early cherry-picked benchmarks with fiddled settings from everyone's favourite Digital Foundry.

8704/5888 = 1.47. The 3080 has 47% more shaders, I rounded it up to 50%. I worded it wrong it seems.



Of course it matters, shaders and bandwidth generate the performance.

You're both right on the numbers just mixed up the wording. 3080 has 47.8% more shaders than the 3070 = 3070 has 32.3% fewer shaders than the 3080.

It's not that, they simply want to drive traffic away from AMD related articles.

Imagine posting this trash.

YOU should read more things.... the caps issue has all but been resolved by a driver, bud.

Reduced boost clocks is not a fix bud.

NVIDIA shares official GeForce RTX 3070 performance figures - VideoCardz.com

NVIDIA reveals official GeForce RTX 3070 performance figures NVIDIA today confirmed that the launch date of the GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card has been postponed till October 29th. NVIDIA wants to avoid limited stock at launch, hence more cards are being produced to meet the demand. We are not...

videocardz.com

Does anyone here believe these numbers?

 

[Fluffmeister]

Should be a solid card for sure, and it will be nice that AMD finally show up after two years, especially after the first gen Navi shit show.

Reduced boost clocks is not a fix bud.

big picture, homey.

Devil's advocate here, I don't think this driver fix took 2 days, I'm pretty sure Nvidia were aware of it and were working on it for some time. It's only us who were aware of the problem only for 2 days. Remember, FE cards were crashing, too.

Yes, more ASS U M(ing).

(I am too)

 

[Nkd]

I don't think its just demand. That might have something to do with it. Given that it is on par with 2080ti and likely little slower in 4k. Still a great deal but I think it has more to do with them not showing true cards to AMD. I just don't think they want AMD to be able to put up comparison charts on their launch lol. Seems likely the reason along with low stock.

”You will be able to purchase the GPU on October 29th for the price of $499.“

No, we won’t

Not only it's a lie only in the US you can get (in theory) for that price.

 

[renz496]

Or is it that Nvidia's mindshare allows them to set insane premiums?

That is one thing. But nvidia also able to build their card cheaper. even TPU aware about this since years ago. and they also talk about this in recent saphire RX5600 pulse review.

nGreedia are very worried about AMD, aren't they! So much so that they blame the pushed back launch of the 3070 on their customers... Nothing to do with that they have no idea how to price or market this card yet...

nGreedia's marketing are truly customer hating scum.

They worried everytime AMD launching new GPU.

 

[Bwaze]

Both the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 have seen the light of the day as they are now available for purchase...

Love the sarcasm here...

Reduced boost clocks is not a fix bud.

While I am no Nvidia fan, but in their defence, Nvidia never guaranteed a boost above the boost clock they advertised. So say if your card can boost its clock speed in the high 1800 to 1900, these clocks are above and beyond the advertised boost clock speed. The fix if I am not wrong somewhat drops the max boost clock, but should still be comfortably ahead of the advertised numbers.

 

[Bwaze]

Do the reviewers warn us that their results are atypical since their cards boost 10 - 15% above "guaranteed boost clock" and that users might experience more than 10% lower performance? No?

 

[olstyle]

Does anyone here believe these numbers?

Only "normal" game in there is Borderlands. And surprise, surprise, there the 2080Ti is ahead.
Those numbers are not inherently wrong, but the selected applications are of course cherry picked.

 

[INSTG8R]

This segment is the “bread and butter” so it’s important to get it right the first time. Yep I own a Navi, yep we know how that began life.

Yes, some do. W1zzard has many times noted this in his GPU reviews, ever since the 900 series.

Yea, mine ran great at launch and is still chugging along. A lot of these driver complaints at least the ones i read...ppl didn't even as much as uninstall the old drivers b4 installing the new ones.

As far as this thread goes, rdna1 matched Turings IPC, it seems Nvidia regressed this time around and definitely knows AMD is bringing that heat. Two weeks later will not improve yields that much. Someone here started maybe Nvidia knew about the problems, 2days for a fix to be sent out is mightily a quick response.

 

[Dux]

was planing on buying RTX 3080, but thanks to shortage i can see reselers increased prices. You lost me Nvidia with your BS. This next gen will be AMD.

Never had a single show stopping issue if so that wasn’t addressed quickly. I mean I test Beta drivers and can still say that...
