PCMR goes to no life, give money to stop living. I am enthusiast but not a victim. If this is true, it is bad.
RTX 3090 will cost ~2.5x times 3080. Not only because of transistors count, but if you include almost 2.5x the memory size. E.g if the RTX 3080 goes for 799$, 3090 will finally cost 1999$.:)

I mean if it's getting 24GB of ram and all that jazz it's clearly some kind of "Halo" product like a Titan even if it isn't labelled as such. I'm personally just going to buy whatever is in my price range of ~$1000.

The gap between radeon and geforce cards has never been so big. I can already see the masacre in the guru3d review. Amd needs a 100% faster card than 5700xt to actually compete. Gpu war is a farse at this point nvidia has won and we all lost.

3090 is probably the new Titan in disguise. That gap in vram amount and specs will be an outrageous difference for only one class above. 3080ti probably comes to sit well between 3080 and 3090 some time in 2021.
I guess RDNA2 will surprise us, nvidia is not eager to release 3080ti before big navi.
I believe big navi will destroy 3080 but 3090 is gonna trample big navi like a bug.
AMD and Nvidia are targeting different price groups once again this round.

Well, at least Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 will not run out of VRAM 🙂

I agree this product sounds more like a titan card than a consume grade one. The vram seems to point in that direction.
Consumer card I assume they would go around 12-16gb vram. 24 is too much for gamers, even 8k right now I assume does not need that. I'm hoping for 14/16gb vram think that would be the sweet spot for 4k with a bit extra just incase

AMD should have at least a 100% faster card as they are building a die that is 2x the size of the 5700XT. Lets see what AMD has before we freak out.
Ricepudding
No need to be so negative, the same could be said on the cpu front and look how that has turned out. AMD Brought their A game and giving Intel and run for their money. Same could happen with gpu side we won't know I'll the generation comes out. Massive gains aren't that unheard of specially since amd hasn't tried in the top end for awhile now.
We will see once HH review the products in the next few months how both teams are doing

It is a titan class card and expect a titan class price as well. Nvidia is just doing a one up on AMD by the naming scheme. The 3090 will be extremely costly, they will only sell a few thousand cards and everyone will epeen clamming they have one. Nvidia is so good at marketing. They know AMD is aiming for the high end so Nvidia made this beast of a card that they will barely break even on costs. Just breaking even on cost they will have to price it so high that they wont sell very many. Its akin to the Ford GT Supercar where you can point at it and say ford is faster than Chevrolet. This marketing albeit lame to logical people looking at price points, creates a marketing fandom of its own.

Any news on NvLink support?

Well if Nvida pricing keeps to form you might be cheaper just buying a small single seater plane, that way you can set everything to super ultra, plus free VR.....or just R. 😛

If this is to be believed and we go by rule that GPU needs adequate memory bandwidth we can say few things.
As long as new cards don't have much better compression or conservative access to memory, 3090 would have some 50~60% higher raw power than 2080Ti.
Then there is other possibility. Since DX-R applications increase VRAM use and extra data needs to be processed each frame => need for more bandwidth, increase may be to satisfy performance increment for DX-R which is much bigger than those 50~60% above, but then it would be likely that traditional performance increase would be bit lower.
I would not expect more than 60% increase in performance from 3090 over 2080Ti unless another IQ loss for performance gain comes.
But it is quite possible that improved tensor cores will make frametime cost of DLSS lower and therefore games would be able to run better at same IQ as 20X0, or have bit higher IQ at comparable performance.

Not on a 3090 but on a 3080 that is the question...

Two times bigger can be two times more expensive if it's monolothic, and if it performs close to a 3080 expect to be priced close to it.
Everything could be really expensive until they launch a mcm card. At least, this time there aren't many leaks about Radeon, that could be a good sign...

RTX 3090 does not interest me, it looks too big and ugly, has way more VRAM than I'd ever need at 1440p and will be insanely expensive knowing NVIDIA.
Not interested in the RTX 3080 either even if will almost certainly be faster than my GTX 1080 Ti. Why? Because it is rumoured to "only" have 10 GB of VRAM which is a downgrade from the 11 GB on my current card.
When I upgrade then *everything* gets a boost otherwise I would not be happy.
What's missing is the RTX 3080 Ti with 12 - 15 GB of VRAM and a direct replacement for the RTX 2080 Ti. However, I am in no rush to upgrade anyway as the only game I can think of that might require a faster card is Cyberpunk 2077 but that is coming to the PS4 and Xbox One as well so I can easily play at 30 fps @ 1440p until I do the full on PC upgrade with new graphics card next year. I am holding off on the new PC build until AMD's Ryzen 4000 CPUs are out.

Nvidia 3090 has a lot of vram 24gb, if the rumours are true... Is it possible to be a dual-gpu? like geforce 690 back in 2012.
DannyD
I fired up Control @1440 native with full-on RTX for the first time last night, i think it partly killed my 2070s so sending back for refund. Seeing how the 2070s coped with the game was interesting for sure, so yeah where's my 3080 at? I need one in two weeks lol.

There's not much to leak 😀 MS spilled all the beans. I am still unsure about numbers they provided. Especially number of transistors. I'll remain unhyped until I see single real RDNA2 GPU with transistor count and number of CUs side by side. But if MS numbers were correct, we will be like: "Whooooot?!?"
They claim 12 memory chips. Unless they have some new way of shared memory access, it would not be feasible from performance standpoint.

Still no word about the prices??? Unless this new series performs much better than the previous ones this is going to another forgettable release...
