NVIDIA Starts Ampere Marketing With #Ultimatecountdown

It's either gonna be a new phone for my wife or a new GPU for me... the latter sounds much better... 3080 or 3080 TI...

Forget about this gen. It's Fermi GTX 480 all over again. GTX780 power hog again. 8nm is a 10nm refresh obsolete thing. We deserve 5nm EUV for the hard earned money.

Hoping i can get an RTX 3070/3060Super/Ti with double of the performance of my 1070

Gives you plenty of time to plan and recover from surgery after your kidney sale.

The GeForce 256 SDR wasn't all that great, the DDR version on the other hand was the fastest card you could get when it launched.
Back in the days when there was still competition in the graphics card market. How I wish there would be a return of PowerVR in the desktop market space...
Christ I'm old...

My old Kyro 2 says hi.

I loved my GTX 480 on my custom loop, while ignoring all of the obnoxious haters for several years. I'd love to see good times like that again.

Compared with the Riva TNT2 Ultra (Its predecessor), it was pretty fast if I remember correctly (this was 20 years ago LOL). Quake 3 Arena and UT ran very well.

But yeah obviously the DDR version would be better.

Would be? It was. I remember testing these cards when they launched, as I worked at PCW in the UK at the time.

Geforce 256, 21 August 1999:
256 x 21 = 5376
5376 = max ammount of cuda cores in GA102 (expected)
5+3+7+6= 21
Illuminati confirmed

Remember when the then Videologic PR guy came in with that card for testing. It was a good card for the money, but the drivers were buggy as...
He's now the head of marketing and PR at Imagination Technologies.

It should be possible with DLSS. Death Stranding can hit 100fps at 4K on a 2080 Ti.

That's not 4K, that is upscaled 1080p.
