Nvidia RTX Tremendous: Rumors, Information, Specs, Value, and Extra

Nvidia’s “Tremendous” tease in late Could appeared primed to disrupt AMD’s RX 5700 Computex announcement greater than the rest. However a month on from that reveal and regardless of the drought of any official info from Nvidia, we’re drowning in rumors, hypothesis, and alleged leaks, which recommend the Tremendous moniker will probably be utilized to a brand new vary of RTX graphics playing cards. These refreshed GPUs will reportedly provide elevated efficiency on the similar value, presumably bumping the primary RTX playing cards right down to extra aggressive costs.

How will all this examine to AMD’s new Navi playing cards? We don’t have lengthy to attend to seek out out.

Pricing and availability

The dearth of an official announcement for any of those playing cards past the unique Tremendous teaser video from Nvidia makes it arduous to know if and when these alleged playing cards will see the sunshine of day and the way a lot they are going to be. Nevertheless, the newest rumors level to a July 2 unveiling of the playing cards, adopted by a July 9 launch of the RTX 2060 and 2070 Tremendous GPUs. This is able to give Nvidia a swift counter to AMD’s deliberate RX 5700 and 5700 XT launch on July 7. The RTX 2080 Tremendous is slated for a July 23 launch, in keeping with these rumors.

As for price, WCCFTech’s sources declare that the brand new playing cards will principally change the present RTX playing cards and shunt them down the pricing spectrum — other than the RTX 2060. The costs we’ve heard quoted thus far, work out to the next:

Graphics card
Value

RTX 2080 Tremendous
$800

RTX 2080
$700

RTX 2070 Tremendous
$600

RTX 2070
$500

RTX 2060 Tremendous
$430

RTX 2060
$350

This rearrangement of pricing would make the brand new and outdated RTX GPUs extra aggressive with AMD’s upcoming Navi playing cards, if the claimed efficiency from rumors and data launched thus far proves correct.

We anticipate the early launch of those new playing cards to be completely Nvidia Founders Version GPUs. VideoCardz suggests Nvidia has solely simply begun to speak to its board companions about third-party renditions of every of them.

Efficiency

The Nvidia RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti

Nvidia hasn’t confirmed something in regards to the new Tremendous playing cards but and seems to be biding its time for when it is going to reveal extra about them, and even their existence within the first place. That mentioned, there have been a lot of alleged leaks which level in the direction of a full product line refresh with new, Tremendous variations of all of the RTX graphics playing cards.

Observe: Though there have been some reviews from the likes of WCCFTech that recommend there will probably be a 2070 Ti and 2080 Ti Tremendous too. Most different sources don’t corroborate that declare, so we’ll go away that off this alleged specs desk for now.

Specs by no means inform the entire story. We’ll have to see third-party benchmarks with these playing cards to know for certain how succesful they’re, however we will make some educated guesses about their potential capabilities primarily based on what we all know thus far.

All the new Tremendous playing cards are utilizing barely weaker variations of the GPU from one stack up. So the RTX 2060 tremendous is constructed on a stripped-back model of the RTX 2070’s GPU, somewhat than an improved variant of the 2060. The 2070 Tremendous borrows a cut-down 2080 GPU, the 2080 Tremendous a cut-down 2080 Ti GPU — don’t be fooled by the naming conference, we’re instructed that that’s attributable to this being a brand new model that targets the decrease quantity of reminiscence.

Regardless of utilizing stripped again variations of extra spectacular GPUs, this bump does result in higher CUDA core counts for every of the brand new playing cards. Guru3D claims there could also be a rise in clock velocity for every of the brand new fashions too, although that’s but to be confirmed by most different sources.

On the reminiscence entrance, the RTX 2080 Tremendous will see a rise in reminiscence velocity, which may make its leap essentially the most impactful, because it sees it keep on the similar value as the unique RTX 2080, however barely closes the hole between it and the 2080 Ti. It’s not going to eclipse that top-tier card simply but, however it does make the 2080 Tremendous a extra engaging buy for these not comfy spending over $1,000 on a graphics card.

The RTX 2060 Tremendous will see its reminiscence capability elevated to 8GB, which makes it a way more versatile card for memory-heavy video games and can make it a extra viable competitor for AMD’s RX 5700 and 5700 XT in flip.

What about ray tracing?

Ray tracing extremely

One of many greatest promoting factors of Nvidia’s RTX-series of Turing graphics playing cards was — and nonetheless is — assist for ray tracing and deep studying tremendous sampling. Whereas these options nonetheless aren’t discovered in additional than a handful of video games, they do symbolize an vital consideration for potential patrons and the Tremendous variations of these playing cards do little to alter that.

We haven’t heard something from the rumor mill about these new playing cards sporting extra RT or tensor cores, so we don’t anticipate them to be particularly extra succesful at both of those rendering applied sciences. That mentioned, the extra CUDA cores and in some instances quicker or expanded reminiscence, ought to make the efficiency hit from ray tracing much less pronounced than with the non-Tremendous variations of those self same playing cards.
