Nvidia Ampere, RTX 3090, RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 specs leaked
Apparently, until next September 1st, the day on which Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, will highlight the company's latest innovations in the field of games and graphics, finally unveiling the long-awaited graphics cards based on the new Ampere architecture. , we will be continually invaded by rumors and more or less presumed photos of GPUs.
However, the information leaked today is quite interesting, as a reliable source would have revealed the technical characteristics of the RTX 3090, RTX 3080 and RTX cards 3070 to colleagues from VideoCardz.
The flagship model, RTX 3090, should be equipped with the GA102-300 chip, equipped with 5,248 CUDA cores, accompanied by 24GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus, providing a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 936GB / s. The custom cards will be powered by two 8-pin connectors, which are essential since the unit has a TGP of 350W.
Let's go down a step with the RTX 3080, which will offer 4352 CUDA cores and 10GB of GDDR6X memory with 320-bit bus, for a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 760GB / s thanks to the speed of 19Gb / s. This model will have a TGP of 320W and also in this case there will be two 8-pin connectors on the custom cards.
Finally, the RTX 3070, which should only be released at the end of September, will have 8GB of GDDR6 memory with a speed of 16Gb / s and a TGP of 220W. Unfortunately, the number of CUDA cores has not yet been confirmed.
All proposals based on the Ampere architecture will have second generation Ray Tracing Cores and third generation Tensor Cores. In addition, they will support the PCI Express 4.0 interface and will be equipped with HDMI 2.1 and Display Port 1.4a video outputs.
