Leaked specs point to RTX 3070 and 3080 with 3072 and 3840 Cuda cores
Specifications of, claimed to be, Nvidia’s upcoming GeForce RTX 3000 cards have surfaced online. These are the GA103 and GA104 GPUs that fall into the company’s presumed Ampere generation of GPUs. Cards with the chips may come out later this year.
The GA103 would be the GPU of the RTX 3080. The card would have 60 SMS or streaming multiprocessors, bringing the number of Cuda cores to 3840. The rumor mentions a 320-bit wide memory bus and the card could be equipped with 10GB or 20GB gddr6.
With the GA104 it would be 48 SMS with a total of 3072 Cuda cores. The GA104 would be the GPU of the RTX 3070, and thanks to a 256-bit wide memory interface, it can contain up to 16GB of gddr6. The specifications leaked through the Chinese site MyDrivers. It’s all about specifications; photos are not included. The rumors also mention a GA102, which could be the GPU of an RTX 3080 Ti or Titan.
The GPUs would fall within Nvidia’s Ampere series, about which rumors already appeared in 2017. Officially, Nvidia has not yet announced anything about this generation. According to VideoCardz could be released in the second quarter of the year. The site reports that we will probably hear more about Nvidia’s plans on March 22, during GTC 2020. VideoCardz does question the correctness of the leaked specifications, partly because it would be unusual for Nvidia to use odd GPU numbers for high-end chips. and the claim of 10/20GB vram is striking.
