Release Date, Price, Specs for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3000 Series
After a long wait and months of suspense, the new generation Nvidia Ampere graphics cards are here. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 is leading a brand-new collection of strong GPUs that offer significant performance enhancements and upgrades to key features such as ray tracing.
The forthcoming cards will be based on the company’s latest 7 nm Ampere GPU framework, and a report a few weeks ago suggests that the RTX 3080 could be 20 per cent faster than the current top performer – the RTX 2080 Ti. GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs also feature several world premieres:
- they are the first gaming-class graphics cards with up to 24 GB of modern,
 - fast-paced GDDR6X VRAM; they are the first GPUs with HDMI 2.1,
 - 4 K high refresh rate and 8 K gaming;
 - they are the first dedicated GPUs with AV1 codec support, allowing you to display high-resolution streams with substantially less bandwidth.
 
And of course, GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs are filled with innovations for sports enthusiasts, live streamers, developers and gamers alike – NVIDIA Reflex eliminates system lag, provides split-second Computer gameplay accessibility; NVIDIA Broadcast transforms every room into a home broadcast studio with AI-enhanced video and voice comms; NVIDIA DLSS upgrades make 8 K HDR gameplay a possibility on GeForce.
