Nvidia RTX 3050, 3060 (Ti), 3070 (Ti), 3080 (Ti) & 3090 (Ti) HAVE ARRIVED (INFO AND BENCHMARKS)

It seems like we'll get:

The new Ampere-based GeForce RTX 3000 series cards will reportedly offer more VRAM on all cards, so we could see: 

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 - 12GB 
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 - 12GB 
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti - 16GB.


Maybe reduced power consumption due to 7nm. And maybe the best - if it's true:

NVIDIA is reportedly set to offer its next-gen GeForce RTX 3000 serieds at cheaper prices than the current-gen GeForce RTX 2000 series, which would be interesting. NVIDIA faced considerable backlash with the pricing on its GeForce RTX 2000 series, even though they still sold like hotcakes a price reduction is always welcome.

Sorry to hear that @Luciferous , there's never a good time for hardware failure! I'm wondering if we'll see a drop in current card prices, now the 3000 series rumours are building, especially rumours of these cards having a lower price.


Cheers, I was really hoping for price drops, the high end cards are ridiculous at the moment. I was also trying to hold out to black Friday but in a moment of weakness and weeks of VR deprivation I folded. 🙂

I looked at the 1080TI cards but they are still pretty expensive considering they are older tech. I have seen them going for 400 on ebay etc still. I think the 2060 RTX Super which was 420.00 is just as capable plus has the ray tracing as well.

I am very impulsive though so I looked at the right price range, read a few reviews which seemed positive and pressed the button. Some where saying I could get better performance out of AMD equivalent for the same price. I am always wary about buying AMD due to driver issues after a bad experience I had a very long time ago.

i hope the 3060 is like a 1080 because from reading the posts here it seems thats the goto card for vr nowdays. still rocking my cv1 and 1060.


RTX 2060 is very close to GTX 1080 apart from slightly less video ram. I'd expect 3060 to be faster than 1080.

2060 vs 1080, average performance in about 20 games:

The 2060 RTX Super OC is close to a 2070 RTX in performance, or so I was led to believe. I can't see them on that list but they are relatively new.

1080TI Second hand they are about 400-450 GBP. I would never buy used.
1080TI  New 600 GBP

A bit much for something to get me through the next year.

Yes, I think you'll love the 2060 Super OC, it'll be able to drive even the Index with no problems.

Ps. 2060 Super OC should indeed match 2070:

OK now to resist urge to buy an Index as I am out of hardware excuses. 🙂

I have an H80 in my case, do you think I should go up to a H100i ? =

The 80 is only a single rad


have you made sure your bios is not set to ultra quiet mode or anything ? it could be that your controller is keeping the fans from spinning up enough.  I doubt it is that making your pc crash however, it takes time for the heat to build up an aio hybrid water coolers, i highly doubt it is overheating in 5 mins.  if in doubt take the side off your case and put a massive room fan blowing on your pc, that will keep it cool and you can rule out heat.
sounds to me like you lost the silicon lottery when it came to overclocking your cpu. 
that said, if you are convinced it is running a bit warm you do not have to go too mad to get a better cooler.
in any practical sense to be honest I doubt you will see much difference between your cpu running at 4.2ghz and running at 4.5ghz.
my i7 5820k will run at 4.6ghz but i only run it at 4.25ghz.  it is just not worth the extra heat / noise / power usage for me personally.
I know you have a 2080ti so your bottlenecks will be different to mine, but in *most* gaming situations, if you are gaming at 4k - which i am guessing you are with that gpu - i still think your gpu will bottleneck you more times than your cpu at 4.2ghz.  it is still a very nice processor.
Sorry if already covered but what speed ram are you running at?  I always thought ram speed was really more of an AMD thing and that intel was not really affected by ram speed that much..... it turns out - probably not surprisingly really when you think of it - that is actually BS.

having decent speed ram makes a very noticable difference.
Fiat Coupe, gone. 350Z gone. Dirty nappies, no sleep & practical transport incoming. Thank goodness for VR 🙂

 Very late to the party here, but my single rad Corsair H60 Rev.2 AIO can happily take an i7-6700K to 4.7GHz 100% stable as long as I cap the CPU power at 120W in the BIOS. If you're still in the same position and need any pointers, give me a shout.

And as Mike suggests above, RAM speed can make a big difference to minimum frame rates with the Skylake platform. Even going as high as DDR4-3333 will give worthwhile gains in many games with an overclocked i5 or i7 once you get up to 4.5GHz+.

The gains from the overclock can also be very worthwhile as the i7-6700K only really clocks at 4GHz with turbo only taking a single core at a time up to 4.2GHz. If you can take all cores up to 4.7GHz as well as using sufficiently fast RAM to take advantage of the overclock then you're close to a 20% gain in performance.

So ... August or September it seems... maybe:

Nvidia Ampere: RTX 3000 graphics cards set for August reveal

Nvidia Ampere, the next-gen GeForce graphics card arhitecture, are set to launch this year, with September touted as a potential launch window. 


This new architecture will act as the springboard for several new graphics cards, which are speculated to be the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070, RTX 3080 and RTX 3080 Ti.


A leak from Twitter user KittyCorgi claims the upcoming Ampere architecture will allow for a significantly improved ray tracing performance thanks to the doubled count of Tensor cores. 


General graphics performance is expected to get a huge boost too, with suggestion that the RTX 3080 Ti will be a whopping 40% more powerful than the current RTX 2080 Ti.
