Guys, the cat it out!

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 and GeForce RTX 3080 specifications leaked

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3090-and-geforce-rtx-3080-specifications-leaked

So 2100,-

That boost clock seems kinda low. Also where the heck is the 12GB model confirmed by Micron?

7nm would be holy fuck though!

8GB for 3070, welp. At least there's DLSS :P

Power up across the board too unsurprisingly.

According to the article, partner models could offer 20GB for the 3080 so I'd imagine for 3070, they could offer more as well. Although Nvidia always had less Vram than AMD and consoles.

"This is very much not designed as a game-as-service," producer Fleur Marty told IGN. "There is an ability tree, which is different for each of the characters, and then there's gear that you craft—and so choices that you're going to be making—but that does not mean that this is a game-as-service."

Easily the most alluring feature of Destiny 2's Beyond Light expansion is the introduction of a new element called "Stasis.

Even at 7nm, it looks like it will be a very big chip with an extremely high power consumption. They can't push the clocks as much as they would like.

That's true but actually looking at 2080 Ti's rated boost clock, it's 1545 MHz and 1635 MHz for founders but we know that card can stay at over 2000 MHz all day long. So that boost clock is actually kinda high loll.
