3090 PCB picture "leaks"

That is 3 (three) 8 pin connectors (up to 3x150W + 75W over PCIe)

(yes, there is a CPU covering the GPU chip of the card)

Thanks for sharing. September gonna be interesting and we can hope AMD doesn't take too long to get Big Navi out.

:messenger_tears_of_joy: had to laugh at the Blizzard source for Starcraft 2

That die is not even that big, seems smaller than in 2080Ti. Should be cheaper (But I know it won't be).

But who am I to judge, when I purchase RTX Titan for neural network playing.

500W graphics card. What happened Nvidia?

At least this give AMD free reign to up the power consumption of the 6900XT without being dogpiled. But latest rumours suggest either AMD's RDNA2 card late this year will only compete with the 3080 (both about 15% faster than 2080 Ti) but can't compete with this 500W 3090 monster.

holy shit aaa.. aaa PCB ?! WHA.
It just reminds me that our motherboards are all outdated 90s crap with way too short ports. I think the whole pc motherboard and modularity needs to be reworked. We are limited by length of card and port and it's all sagging anyway

Wcctech says GA102 (RTX 3090 and single GPU) may go up to $2000 this time around according to a rumor, and that's mental. Even on enthusiast level, no one that has an RTX 2080 Ti currently would pay that amount. I wouldn't even though I sold mine above $1K last month because it's not enthusiast anymore but instead professional level like Titan. Unless of course RTX 3090 is the Titan this time.

It's keyed differently from previous NVLink PCIe cards, so probably a new bridge for NVLink 3.0.

oh hell I didn’t even notice it’s keyed differently. Then again I think I looked at the connector once in my 2089, went “that’s neat” and then never looked at it again

So what's the GA104?

3x 8Pin connectors are aren't exactly unheard of with the 2080Ti Kingpin having that many... So either:
  • The power consumption rumours are true.
  • This is an engineering PCB and the 3rd connector won't actually be present/used on the retail units
  • This isn't a reference PCB.
So what's the GA104?
TU104 is in the 2080, 2080 Super and 2070 Super. Assuming the naming scheme is consistent... expect that to be the 3080.
Not a clue if they'll complicate that with a 3080 Ti and a 3090.

Micron has confirmed existence of GDDR6X 19 - 21 Gbps.
A 384bit GPU can break 1TB/s.
Current chips are 8Gb variants. In 2021 they'll bring 16Gb chips at 24Gbps.

Do they really expect move a lot of $2000 video cards, I wonder? Like I have to believe even enthusiast level gamers feel sick to their stomachs buying a card for $1000.
I bought a 980Ti for $889 CDN 4-5 years ago, and I still hate myself for it.

3090? Upping the stakes. That Zotac is looking good, their twin fan 2080ti works well for me. I will probably go with Zotac again.

There are good reasons to make crazy cards like this even if they don't sell loads, experimenting with more complex designs, trouble shooting processes, trying out really high end tech. Plus they are aimed at people that view the cost as trivial. So for the rest of us let's have a laugh at how over the top this thing is and enjoy knowing that the people buying it are effectively paying to eventually make it affordable to everyone else.

so is it gonna be:

x70
x80
x80 Ti
x90

?

i imagine the new x90 would essentially be a x80 Ti card but they've rebranded it so people think when they buy the x80 Ti they are actually getting the x80 Ti for a cheaper price when really they are just getting the x80 card.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Hope the $2000 rumor isn't true. I don't play enough AAA games to justify that. $1000? Whatever. That's a big premium, but it's not clownish.

Jesus is the 3090 really gonna cost $2000 US Dollars!? That would be... $2650 CAD plus retailers like to bullshit markup PC parts up here so ~$2700-$2800 CAD. W.T.F

My PC is a RX 580 gpu and an I5 8400 CPU with 8gb ram. I want to play CyberPunk 2077 on Ultra. So if I can upgrade my Ram to 24gb and upgrade my gpu to a 3000 series, and that'll be enough, then it might be worth the price.

The question is if it's compatible with my motherboard, and would I have to upgrade my CPU as well? Because if I do then it's going to get very pricey very quick.

Wouldn't you need an I7 or an I9 to take advantage of a 3000 series card?

No one who happily paid $1400-$1500 for a 2080Ti would balk at $1999. A metric shit ton of people pull 6 figure salaries, for whom $2000 is not even a single month's discretionary spending. Welcome to the income gap.

But the thing is not everyone paid $1400-1500 for RTX 2080 Ti. EVGA even had $999 variant called Black Edition and my card was exactly that with a non-binned chip. Even with that I managed to overclock it %10-15 higher than the FE cards. So for those who actually bought their cards for $999-1199, that's actually a huge jump and would change their minds.
