When Nvidia unveiled their next-gen Ampere GPU structure final month, they didn’t point out cover nor hair about once we’ll see it in a client RTX card. However, if the newest leaked pictures of Nvidia’s next-gen GPUs are to be believed, the RTX 3080 may very well be loads nearer to launch than we’d suppose. And hoo boy does it look bizarre.
Over the weekend, the primary alleged picture of Nvidia’s RTX 3080 GPU emerged on the discussion board Chiphell, which you’ll see under. The photos present the back and front of the supposed Nvidia Ampere GPU, together with that every one necessary title of RTX 3080, seemingly confirming that Nvidia’s subsequent era graphics playing cards will certainly observe an RTX 3000 collection naming conference.
The design is sort of uncommon, with followers on each side of the alleged RTX 3080. Normally, GPUs solely have followers on one aspect of the cardboard to assist cool the circuit board beneath, so to have a cooler design that features followers on each the back and front of the graphics card may be very unusual certainly.
Now, you would possibly suppose that maybe the highest GPU with the blue trim is simply the identical graphics card however with the RTX 3080 plate eliminated, however take a more in-depth look and also you’ll see that isn’t the case. On the decrease graphics card, there’s a bracket subsequent to the RTX 3080 emblem, for instance, whereas the highest one has the bracket subsequent to the fan, suggesting that there are certainly followers on each side of this supposed RTX 3080.
Naturally, 3D artists have jumped on the likelihood to attempt to think about some extra official wanting pictures of this obvious RTX 3080, one of the best most likely being the renders from Reddit consumer JDSP (one among which I’ve included up high within the header).
I imply, I don’t hate it, if I’m being sincere, however I additionally don’t suppose it’s almost pretty much as good wanting because the Founders Editions of Nvidia’s present RTX playing cards both. I used to be fairly keen on the twin fan design of the unique RTX playing cards with their title plonked in between them, and this supposed RTX 3080 design simply isn’t fairly on the identical stage for me.
Still, a leaked picture being a leaked picture, there’s a very good likelihood this isn’t in reality the ultimate design of the RTX 3080, so till Nvidia announce the RTX 3080 correctly we’ll simply have to take a seat and wait and hope they give you one thing a bit extra engaging. To see what else we find out about Nvidia’s next-gen graphics playing cards, you should definitely control our Nvidia Ampere hub for all the newest information.
