An unknown NVIDIA Ampere GPU, probable the RTX 3080, has had its 3DMark Time spy performance leaked courtesy of HardwareLeaks. While the benchmark could exist either of the RTX 3080, 3080 Ti/Super or the RTX 3090, we have reason to believe it is the RTX 3080. The gaming performance shown here absolutely blows away the last generation flagship and showcases that NVIDIA is going to accept a spectacular RTX 3000 serial launch subsequently this year.

NVIDIA RTX 3080 gets Time Spy benchmark score - 31% faster than RTX 2080 Ti Fe

The benchmark posted by _rogame shows NVIDIA's Ampere GPU scoring a very impressive 18257 points in Time Spy graphics test which is just under Kingpin'south insane 2.38 GHz clocked RTX 2080 Ti variant. A traditional RTX 2080 TI Fe variant clocks effectually 13939 points and the spotted Ampere GPU is roughly 31% faster than this. The question so becomes what exactly are we looking at? The NVIDIA RTX 3080, RTX 3080 Ti/Super or the RTX 3090? Well, I am fairly sure this isn't the RTX 3090/Titan because of several reasons (although I am non a 100% sure, just to be articulate).

Before nosotros get into why I think that fashion, allow's look at the logged specifications of the benchmark. The GPU clock was detected at 1935 MHz and the memory clock, interestingly was just a meager 6000 Mhz. This is most certainly a misread past the software due to the fact the card is using brand new GDDR6X memory (as memory clocks shown usually need to exist multiplied by 8 to get the actual speeds just this is obviously incorrect). This is indicative of an early on engineering sample and performance likewise every bit detection will probable amend as things go closer to launch.

Then let's put on our [speculation] hats now and try to effigy out what card we are looking at. NVIDIA is planning to launch three variants of the GA102 bit at launch. These are the SKU 10, twenty and 30. These will take 10, 12 and 24 GB of memory respectively and will likely form the RTX 3080, RTX 3080 Ti/Super/3090, and RTX 3090 / Titan cards. Considering NVIDIA is moving to a smaller procedure with the Ampere serial of cards, we are expecting a big performance jump (from the improved clock speeds, cadre count and of form, IPC).

Then hither is what I did. I took the scores of the RTX 2080 Ti Fe and Lightning Z and calculated a "3DMark Time Spy" variable that could roughly predict their score. You do this by taking their known stable boost clocks (as NVIDIA cards normally stay much higher than their advertised boost speeds) and forming the following equation = Core*CLock*3DMark Variable = Score. With the FE at a known stable boost of 1860MHz and Lightning Z at a known stable heave clock of 1995 Mhz, we tin can solve for the variable and get the following consequence = 0.001729.

Now if you assume that nil inverse IPC wise betwixt this generation and that, you tin can solve backward for the cadre count using the clock speed and score and volition arrive at the post-obit estimated cadre count: 5455. You can also add together in an IPC comeback of 20% to get a core count of 4546. Interestingly both of these rough core counts are close to leaked configurations of the GA102 with the SKU 10, xx and 30 being 4352, 5248 and 5376 respectively. Considering at that place volition near certainly exist *some* IPC improvement with Ampere, I am well-nigh certain this is non SKU 30 or the top end carte du jour. In my stance, what y'all are looking at, is the RTX 3080 or the RTX 3080 TI/Super/3090 mainstream flagship and not the 3090/Titan HEDT flagship. In other words, in order of probability - this is SKU10 or at a stretch SKU20, and probably not SKU30. [/spectulation]

What carte du jour do y'all retrieve this is?
