Recently, Nvidia announced its RTX 3000 series graphics cards based on the Ampere framework. The RTX 3070, 3080 and the flagship 3090 are the second generation of graphics cards that will dramatically improve gaming performance.
Honestly, the amp-based technology of the Nvidia RTX 3000 series is a huge step up from the Turing technology of the 2000 series.
Nvidia RTX 3000 series: specifications, launch date and price
According to the announcement, the RTX 3070 will launch in October for $ 500, while the more powerful RTX 3080 will launch on September 17 for $ 700, the same price as the RTX 2080 Super at launch. Additionally, the flagship RTX 3090 will launch on September 24 for the whopping $ 1,500.
According to Nvidia, RTX 3090 supports ray tracking at 8k while giving gamers 60 frames per second on most of the best gaming titles. The graphics card has 24GB of DDR6 X memory and the dual axil fans that are allegedly ten times quieter and 30% cooler than the Titan RTX.
On the other hand, RTX 3080 will crush RTX 2080 with twice the performance at the same price. It has 10GB of 19Gbps DDR6X memory, which is pretty insane. Additionally, Nvidia claims the RTX 3080 can support 4k gaming at 60 frames per second.
Finally, Nvidia claims that the RTX 3070, the cheapest graphics card in the 3000 series, is even faster than the RTX 2080 Ti. Also, the new 3070 graphics card running at 8GB DDR6X card is almost 60 times faster than RTX 2070 which makes it amazing for 4k and 1440p gaming.
What's really amazing is that the incredible RTX 3070 will only cost $ 500, which was the price of the RTX 2070 Super at launch. However, you'll have to wait a bit longer for the RTX 3070 as the graphics card will launch in October.
The second generation RTX chips are made on Samsung 8N Nvidia Custom Process. Impressively, all three video cards feature multiple processor codes to handle heavy workloads and support AI-powered DLSS oversampling. In addition, the HDMI 2.1 port of the upcoming Nvidia GPUs makes them suitable for 8k screens.
