The big GPU/Tech Rumours thread - Nvidia/AMD/Others - Is it worth to invest now? what news are here now? Feel free to debate
This thread has evolved a alot and has now become a New Runours on tech thread - It is primarily focused on GPU´s and it should stay that way. I will update the thread, whenever we have new information about newer GPU´s releasing. Feel free to debate some of the more catchy tech rumours as well.

I have reserved this field in our thread starter to keep current debates up and new information.
Atm.


2024/2025

Here are the official announcements

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/50-series/
------

Varous information about the new 5000 series.
https://www.techradar.com/computing/gpu/nvidia-unveils-new-geforce-rtx-5090-rtx-5080-rtx-5070-ti-and-rtx-5070-graphics-cards-at-ces-2025


We have started to see more information about the new Nvidia Blackwell GPU´s (5000´s series)

Here is a leak, not very interesting tbh.

2023

We debate the 4000 series released and the ones that will release, a long with the rumours about the 5000 series, that is showcased to be the biggest leap in GPU history performance wise (like everytime ofc)

2021

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/asus-shows-off-geforce-rtx-with-noctua-cooler
https://winfuture.de/news,125475.html



So I figured we should have a thread about the new RTX 3xxx series, that is soon to release.
What is your feeling about it? Do you think some of the rumours are true? Are you upgrading?


The flagship seems to be a 3090 (I like them going back to the x90 tier)
https://videocardz.com/newz/micron-confirms-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3090-gets-21gbps-gddr6x-memory

Personally I will not upgrade yet and even if I had to (I do not) I would still wait for prices to go down, early adoption is expenssive and often not worth it. But I am interested about what rumours might be true.

Some of the earlier rumours have suggested even higher GB numbers (from 16 and up) and performance claims have been all from 10-50% in effective speed and up to 60% in ray tracing inprovement.


I think it will be a 10-15% max in effective speed on each tier, but I do think we will see significant increases in the Ray Tracing spectrum.

AMD - Big Navi

It will be interesting to see what AMD brings to the table. Personally I think they will go for the mid tier market and if they succeed then, we might see battles for the top tier next generation.

Interesting stats about Big Navi

It seems like all will ship with atleast 16 GB, if that is true, that is surprising tbh.
Rumours talk about 2.4GHz clock on the Navi 21 XT. I think it will be pretty exciting to watch. We will know more in a week, once it gets revealed.


It seems that Nvidia is releasing a new series for miners and are changing the 3060, that will release on 25 of feb. Links below.

Do you want to show off your new build or even just your old build. Then you can do so at
https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/11/5413843407449992305/

That is our benchmark thread. You are still free to debate hardware related stuff and new builds here ofc.

They dont make 60 hz monitors anymore? With a search on any pc shop or any big shop site i see pletny of 1440p and 4k 60 hz monitors. It is not 15 years ago because got this monitor in 2016 and most 1440p monitors were 60 hz at that time. Yes i bought gen 4 ssd because these are the best SSD now and i wanted to get one of the best like i always and this is why i will also get a RTX 3080. I dont need 144 hz for now. No not yet. With a RTX 3080 evryting will be running at max settings 1440p 60 fps and ray tracing which will be a impovement anyway comapred to max settings 40 fps without ray tracing that i play now with gtx 970. And we dont know if even RTX 3080 will be able to run all games maxed 1440p and 144 fps. Possibly not it will not be able to do it which is another reason to why not get 144hz monitor.

It's just that 60hz screens are based on outdated tech for the most part, pretty much a pointless buy, unless you don't know or don't care. Even a budget IPS would be running approx 72-100hz for the most part. I do own 4K/60hz but it's not great to game on, but is good for work purposes. Any gamer who has half a brain is going to aim for 1080p 240hz or 1440p 144/165hz (there is 240hz available but not many models)
First i will get RTX 3080 and see how games run at Ultra 1440p with Ray tracign and then i will think what i will do. But i if i change the monitor it will be much later after i get RTX 3080.

I will be running better frames than you on a 2080s on 1440p, but with either no or minor, like 1-2% visual gain less compared to you. That is pretty funny ^^

If DLSS 2.0 did not actually have so much visual issues (some claim it has been fixed) that would do wonders, on benchmarks I get over double the FPS with it on, than off.. "on 1440p"

Indeed.

With all the RTX and DLSS talk, I did some testing on my rig here from 2018 (I did get a free 2080s, so that ofc change the score a bit compared to my old 2080, it was due to rma)

But

RTX
https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/50504598?
DLSS 2.0 on vs off - 1440p
https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/50503585?

And a regular time spy run
https://www.3dmark.com/spy/13437336


While the new cards coupled with newer CPU´s and MB will outdo mine with the usual 12-45% depending on the game, the cost to ie upgrade is nigh... it is pointless for me with a 9700k ie and the investment I have to do.

As for games... who the..... runs games with ultra in all sections and on 4k... well... a tiny minority.. my very high/high settings will do more than enough FPS even in modern games, even with RTX on if I go dlss 2.0 (if it is implemented well, we might not see blurry and jagged edges etc)

People with older systems than me on 1080p wants a 3080 and think it will give them the edge in Fortnite, CSGO and whatnot... it is silly.. I understand people that want proper FPS on their 1440p and 4k.. but these other games, where you often just gimp graphics anyway.. well.. ohh well.


I will also note, that my build is build for silence !!! even on full load, I can´t hear anything..

You may well be right but one can't stop others from spending their money. Being a perennial tinkerer I hold up my hand as one of these who may be a little careless with their cash. I was done with the high end after the Pascal generation except the spending didn't really stop because I am running a number of builds with different configurations with a pool of spare parts that I swap in and out.

My latest build is a bedroom gaming machine in a mini-itx case hooked up to an old 22 inch 768p 60 Hz TV. I downgraded the GTX 1660 Super to a GTX 1050 Ti on realising the 1660 was hardly breaking sweat on 720p 4x DSR.

I am enjoying Death Stranding in all its glory in 720p resolution...sacrilege! Honestly doesn't look too bad on the old TV! Perhaps I will try it out on my 27 inch 1440p 144 Hz monitor some time...for science.

However in 2021, I may still succumb to the hype and impulse buy a 3080 tier gpu and the required system to be built around it...

now i wait for RTX 3080 to become avaliiable in all shops and at its price of 700 instead of crazy 920+ euros that it is selling now. It will be huge upgrade from my gtx 970 just the MP 600 2TB SSD was.

Sure people are free to buy whatever they want, even when it makes little sense or bottleneck them galore.. But I think it is perfectly fine for me to atleast give a hint or even showcase valid arguments with sources to backup my point about it. But hey... it is up to people to do what they want and how they like.

There is no perceptible "bottleneck" at 1080p with current cpu or slightly old ones, at most tgose with old cpu will "bottleneck" the graphic card at worts by 10 fps and still surpass 120 fps if they have a 1080 120hz,monitor.
Even if you don't see "improovment " there is the fact that people who buy those new cards will have a good gpu to keep for at least 3 generations and that why they will buy it. Get over it already.

I already listed the difference if you use a high end new generation one or ie a older one (even 9700k see 10% change in fps compared to the 10900k.


They will almost if not same performance from a 3070 and save alot of cash, so much cash so they could buy a xx70 in 1 or 2 generation and still have done it cheaper than buying a 3080.. From a cost benefit perspective, it is "stupid" to buy a 3080 as a 1080p user and even more so if you have 2 generation old CPU and not highest tier.

But as I said.. if people wanna burn cash, they are welcome to do so.. I still believe that they would get a better experience by actually saving up, getting 1440p and then the card to power it (because if they have a high end CPU.. obviously they intend for it, else they might as well use less on the CPU as well)


It is a free world however.. so do what you want.. but don´t make it sound like investing in a 3080 for 1080p is a must or will give significant changes unless you have the newest and highers hardware to support it...

I'd always be careful with leaked benchmarks. Let's see what the actual values are on release day. Honestly I don't see a good value in the 3090 though as even if it is somewhere between 20 and 50% you still pay almost double compared to the 3080 models.

And I think once the 3080 models with more memory are release the difference would be close while they'd still be cheaper than the 3090.
I agree with that, RTX 3090 is a wate of money. RTX 3080 can run evrytihing at Ultra 1440p and 4k 100+ fps with ray tracing too. We dont need RTX 3090. All we need to do is wait for 3080 to be releases at normal prices and at all shops and then get it. That what i will do.

there was never a good value in titan cards for gaming only.
If you dont want to use dlss2.0 there is a definite need for a 3090 and I am expect g much higher numbers with raytracing, what is somewhat worrying for those buying a 3080 is the 3080 with 20GB of vram, a 3080ti or super I suppose along with the 16GB 3070, though, I have to wo der if these will just be vram increases and not performance for those that need more vram and as a counter to AMD's 16GB upcoming cards.

On AMD, the rumour of a 6900XT beating a 3090, seem kind of out there to be honest, but I am intrigued to see some reliable numbers from more reliable sources, but the issues I've had swapping back to a vega 64 from my 2080ti make me not want to go with AMD even if it is a bit faster (20% more on the other hand...)
