Nvidia Announces RTX 3070, 3080, and 3090 Graphics Cards
The cat's out of the bag: Nvidia has officially revealed its next generation of graphics cards, beginning with the RTX 3080 on September 17th and the RTX 3070 in October. Also announced, but without pricing or availability, was the massive RTX 3090, an incredible, triple-slot GPU Nvidia claims can support 8K gameplay at 60 FPS, as well as several exciting software developments.

You have a strange sense of cheap. Im gonna wait till people have paid for the production costs of the product and it drops to $280 and I will pick it up then lol
3070 is $499 and looks to be competitive with the 2080 Ti (according to the charts, anyway).
According to NVidia's own website RTX 3070 has TPD of 220W, they recommend your PSU's total power is 650W, and you'll need to have one normal 8 pin PCIe power connector.
Even the RTX 3090 recommends only 750W and will work fine with two normal 8 pin PCIe power connectors. You won't need 850W PSU with new special power connector for any of these cards.

NVidia released their previous architecture (RTX 2000 cards) back in 2018, whereas AMD's RX 5000 cards were first released in 2019. Also prior that NVidia showed their hand with RTX 1000 cards in 2016, and AMD's Vega architecture that was supposed to answer to them didn't come until 2017.
The 12 pin connector is for the 3080/3090 - so I will will correct myself there.
I have a 1060 and it draws way more than what NVidia says it would. So I take their power numbers with a huge grain of salt.

And those parts weren't even listed as sampling two weeks ago. So don't try to pre-order one, as you might not get it this year.
The RTX 3070 might well have a hard launch even if the higher end cards are a paper launch, as it uses established GDDR6 memory. Due to architectural differences, it's not clear how an RTX 3070 would compare to existing cards, so we'll have to wait for reviews to know. It could plausibly be faster than an RTX 2080 Ti, but it could just as plausibly be slower.
This info is amazing. Yes, they are pricey, but look at the charts. I think I will go with RTX 3080.
Nevertheless, I'm sure they have more in store, especially for lower cost cards, like GTX 1060 or RTX 2060 which should get an announcement later this year.
Also, RTX IO?! YES please!

Exactly this. I skipped the 20 series! I still have an GTX 1060 which is still doing the job well done, but is starting to show his limits and 3080 seems the way to go!

Imagine I will go from a gtx760 to likely a 3080 as I have about 1000$cad set aside for a gpu. Can't wait for black friday and I am hoping there will be some new cpu's out too!
