We all have seen the GeForce RTX 3080 and 3080, but NVIDIA still keeping the 3070 under wraps. Well, it surfaced in a photo, and it seems the faster a graphics card is, the bigger it needs to be.

In China apparently somebody has access to all three RTX 3000 series cards announced on September 1, posted is a family shot, which provides a nice size comparison. Interesting to see is the cooling design, which seems to be a more normal approach for air-flow. NVIDIA's JH of course already had shown it for a split second in its presentation. All cards use the 12-pin PCIe PEG power connector. The 3070 might be a mighty good deal at 499 as NVIDIA mentioned it being faster than the RTX 2080 Ti at half its money.

Update: and of course JH showed it during the reveal for a second as well:

I wonder if the 8GB frame buffer is going to be a bottleneck in the long run.

As always, FE cards are a myth in my country. Tried the nvidia europe shop again out of curiosity, and all it does is redirect me to retailers that sell only custom cards... ("sell", as in they show up, but are not in stock of course).

There are already games where 11GB isn't enough at 4k (Ubisoft ones, mostly, but mods for Bethesda games can easily hit well over 11), so yes. But that's what DirectStorage is for.

Kinda sucks that only the 3090 gets Sli. 2 3080s would crush a single 3090 so that's why they don't allow it?
