nVidia next GPU rumor thread

The end of the world isn't volcanoes or superstorms, it's the inability to buy and consume products because you're so dependent on this now. Imagine if you couldn't buy anything from phones to GPU's to TV's or anything silicon dependent because of permanent shortages or permanent manufacturing setbacks. I feel like rioting just thinking about it. :bleh:


In all honesty we need our own manufacturing plants right here in North America. The world shouldn't depend on a specific region for almost all our silicon, insane that we have to. If a giant Tsunami wipes out those plants the world will be in a standstill for 5-7 years minimum, that's how long it would take to build a new plant from scratch.

Well, Samsung might help out in 2023: https://www.statesman.com/story/bus...-advanced-chipmaking-plant-austin/6673682002/
 
Cant happen soon enough. I know 10 billion sounds like a lot of money to invest(cause it is) but these companies are getting so many orders to manufacture it doesnt make sense that they havent started opening planets all across the globe to meet the demand.


Housing market in Austin must be booming more than it already has at this point.

A bit apocalyptic don't you think? I've got a gaming rig that will last me for a few years, new S21 arriving tomorrow so that can last a while. I still have my wife's old iPhone 6S running beta software for a laugh, a 10 year old Mac Mini still going strong and at least four laptops dating back a while and still running strong. Not to mention a Surface Pro 4 still working perfectly.

I think we'll we'll survive.

north america needs to do alot more than just build fabs, last time i checked we dont have a rare earth supply chain here.(Mountain pass in cali doesnt have all the required materials and is ironically partly chinese owned) Can build 100 fabs and would still be reliant on china/asia for wafer production.

i'm sure it will be stopped now just like keystone :mad:
 
More ram would be good. I've seen ram usage right at the 9+gb mark for Apex already so more games down the line will probably be more ram hungry.
 
Seems like a non purchase. If 4000 series comes out end of this year the extra ~300$ for a 3080 20 GB will make you feel like a chump.

more ram would be nice but 20gb is a waste .

4k could use 12 to 16 gb sure
and the card is not got the power for 8k even if SLI still worked

20gb would most likely make it cost almost as much as a 3090 or more than the 3090 current price if they do jack up the 3090 price also



..........

i think it's all bait and switch come out with a low MSRP and no stock then find reason to jack the price up when stock is starting to improve

That goes both ways Bill. Even MBA 6800/6900XT's are going for >£200 over MSRP and AIB's even more. AMD despite promising to produce more cards at MSRP have produced nothing.
