Powered by the new NVIDIA Ampere architecture, these gaming GPUs offer a new price-performance benchmark.
These Gaming GeForce RTX 30 Series line of GPUs will be available in three different configurations: RTX 3090, RTX 3080 and RTX 3070, all powered by the all-new NVIDIA Ampere architecture, providing, according to the company, "enhanced gaming realism, powerful real time ray tracing, extreme overclocking capabilities and cutting-edge features that will power-up your performance and accelerate the way you game."
iTWire is aware of a lot of chat on social media where gamers who spent more than $2000 on a top-of-the-line GPU early this year are seeing their investment slashed in value by these units which offer greater performance at something like half the price.
