Everything about the NVIDIA RTX 30 Graphics cards – India price, performance, availability and specsedit

The specifications for the three RTX 30 cards when compared to their RTX 20 counterparts let you know exactly how they are positioned. With 24 GB of memory, the RTX 3090 is akin to the RTX TITAN and would be targeted at workstations and multitasking machines which require a lot of CUDA cores. It would appear that NVIDIA is holding back till AMD’s RDNA2 “Big Navi” cards are released in November 2020. We should hopefully see RTX 3080 Ti or Super cards that equal or beat the RDNA cards as a reaction to AMD’s cards.

During its Ampere launch event, NVIDIA shared a performance benchmark slide giving us a clear picture of the GeForce RTX 3080’s capabilities. It appears that, as promised, the GeForce RTX 3080 will indeed deliver up to twice the performance of the Turing GeForce RTX 2080, meaning that NVIDIA’s new US$799 flagship will likely leave the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti behind as well and offer a true 4K/60 experience. If Borderlands 3 signposts the GeForce RTX 3080’s rasterization capabilities, gamers looking for a genuine 4K/60 experience sans compromise might just have found their match. We’re interested to see how AMD’s Big Navi will compete in the months to come.
