Rumor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 and 3080 Coming Q3 2020 + Specs

Rumor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 and 3080 Coming Q3 2020 + Specs

The rumor mill can't stop the chatter about NVIDIA's series 3000 cards, and that will probably stay that way until announced. Today yet another twitter user posted a chart, with names and specifications. The interesting part, however, is that the tweet originates from chiakokhua, who you might remember as "Retired engineer". 

K.H. Chia is a retired engineer, you might know him from an earlier 'prognosis', he predicted and explained chiplet designs from AMD at the time, and also he drew up a block diagram of AMD Epyc2 processors getting 64 cores spread out over 8+1 dies. That was a prediction before it was public, and he was spot on. That gives the slide he posted a bit of merit and perhaps more credibility than normal.

In a now deleted tweet, it seems that the release dates of the next-gen RTX GPUs will be somewhere in the third quarter of 2020 for the GeForce RTX 3070 and RTX 3080, then Q4 2020 for the RTX 3080 Ti, the 3060 should be released by Q1 2021. So far, that all sounds plausible enough. It's expected by a lot of people already, that the new RTX would be released somewhere in the summer, this tweet did not have any specific month, but target dates by quarter. The most interesting part is obviously the specs, where a 3070 could be close in performance to an RTX 2080 Ti. So the shader counts seems hmm, let's call it far-fetched and too enthusiastic?

 

 

Above is the spec-deck he posted on his Twitter account, which was shortly after removed again, which is weird and raises questions. It is of course speculation of the highest level, but certainly an interesting tweet all by itself. The smaller than suffixes do seem to indicate an expected number of cores, frequencies, and so on. Very interesting none-the-less. 16 Gbps is mentioned for graphics memory speed, of that pans out to be true that is GDDR6 16 Gbps.

Thanks, EL1TE for the news submit. And guys remember, grains of salt (big ones!), disclaimers and so on as it's nothing more than a rumor posted on twitter.

The 3080Ti having almost twice the cores than the 3080 seems a little fishy...


If it's true i think they'll go crazy(crazier) with the price on it,because they can justify it by being so much better than the 3080. Unless amd has a response for the Ti that is.

If those specs are true, it is going to wipe floor with RDNA 2.

Maybe, maybe not.

The RTX 2k series did not have consoles to compete with in its release window but the RTX 3k series will have, and while a console isn't a single component or can't really be compared to a PC GPU the point it release window of GPU/Consoles vs what people can spend since a lot lost their job due to virus, i've also seen a lot of my friends (myself included) leaning towards new consoles because their specs look great and because RTX 2k was overpriced and because people expect NVIDIA to do the same once again, and with this virus situation going on a lot of people have to save their money.

But if they are able to provide amazing performance for amazing price, like they did with the 970, then people might consider buying next gen GPU.

My GTX1080 is garbage for 3440x1440 Ultrawide, the only reasonable GPU for this resolution is the RTX2080 Ti, but in a country (Portugal) where the average income is 600€ and the RTX 2080 Ti costs 1300€, obviously not many will even bother with it, and the PS5 looks appealing.

If the RTX3070 is indeed close in performance to the RTX 2080 Ti, and costs less than half, then sounds good to me.

Normally we would expect the 3070 to be like a 2080, that's normally how it works, next gen x70 is x80 of previous gen.

But even in 2020, the GTX2080 is bad, especially in ultrawide... and in 4k.

The 3080Ti having almost twice the cores than the 3080 seems a little fishy...

Even if so, sadly that doesn't translate into double performance xD

I have a feeling Big Navi will be 20-30% faster than 2080ti in DX12 and come in around $650-750 in price that would mean it matches the 3080 there about’s. This would likely cause pricing to stay put.

It's a shitty threaded game compiled in 2007. It's literally a best scenario for Intel.

If those specs are true, it is going to wipe floor with RDNA 2.


They're as true as the ones that directly contradicted them two months ago.

At 8000+ CUDA cores you're looking at 30B+ transistors - that puts the manufacturing cost of a single die at ~$600 on 7nm - more than double the 2080Ti. If it's true it's going to cost like $2500. No thanks.
