    Nvidia 3000 series

    RTX 3090 $1500 24GB VRAM 10,496 cores - ? TFLOPS - 350W
    RTX 3080 $700 10GB VRAM 8,704 cores - ? TFLOPS - 320W
    RTX 3070 $500 10GB VRAM 5,888 cores - ? TFLOPS - 220W

    I've left the TFLOPS out because I've heard the CCs are now single issue instead of double. If true, the 3090 would be just under 15 TFLOPS, if not almost 30 TFLOPS. Need to look into it further

    Re: Nvidia 3000 series

    M'kay i believe i have it figured out. What I believe they did was added a second vector float ALU pipeline that shares the same register space and execution control flow. Yes, you can say they have doubled the core count but you should also consider that they are "less capable" cores. Similar to what AMD pulled off with bulldozer cpus. And got sued over.

    Basically, each core can do FP+INT at the same time, just like the 2000 series. But it can also now do FP+FP instead. However, when it does FP+INT at the same time, the total TFLOPS are cut in half. *sigh* always with the shady gimmicks

    So who's buying as soon as available? And which model? And FE or 3rd party?

    I expect the better double VRAM versions to launch not long after these first 3.

    Also I'm hearing availability at launch will be the worst it's ever been

    Then I won't be that early adopter you are looking for. Better check with SAM.

    I don't think most projects need much vram. So that is probably not worth waiting for, as a cruncher. But the availability thing? Mark-ups will be crazy, I assume. Crap.

    I've heard 10,000 units available for all 3 SKUs combined worldwide until November. Yeah markups will probably be really bad

    AMD is expected to launch in November as well but no one is leaking any specs at all so far

    I will be waiting good and long, to see the new AMDs work with BOINC. The 5000 series have had all kinds of problems. But it would be nice to see some real competition to Nvidia for a change.

    Re: Nvidia 3000 series

    No sooner than i said there was no new AMD news, Frank Azor (AMD's Chief Architect of Gaming Solutions) made a tweet that included lyrics from the song "Tomorrow" by Charles Strouse. I'll take that as a hint we'll hear something official tomorrow lol

    Edit: Might be about Zen 3 though, not GPUs
