RTX3080

For what it's worth, the current NVIDIA driver 445.75 indicates CUDA 11 support.

That would seem to indicate that the rumors were true that Nvidia was going to announce two Ampere boards at the cancelled March GTC 2020.
The specs for the boards would be appropriate for high-end Quadros: gobs of memory.
If GTC 2020 is actually held in Autumn, they may announce the entire Ampere line-up.

Various other pages give / guess dates in June, August or September.

You can see some specs on techpowerup GPU database, not sure if they're correct though.

Now that's a beast for gpuOwl! 9,7 TFLOPS of DP computing power, 40 GB of 1,6 TB/s HBM2 memory with ECC!!!

But what is the price?

Large. In US$, mid 4 digits or above likely. That's the server/HPC offering. Like Tesla P100 and V100 were.

Don't mind me.... Just feeding the rumour mill a bit.

https://www.pcgamer.com/nvidia-amper...s-performance/

The current rumours suggest a September 17 Ampere release date, which would indicate an August reveal, though that is all kinds of unconfirmed.

If all the rumours are true it could dominate the best graphics cards lists for the next 12 months at least. Mind you, if all the rumours are true then it's going to be a million times faster than Turing and cure death.

So, will the current slate of GPU tools (mfaktc, gpuOwl, CUDALucas, etc.) be ready/capable of utilizing the NVIDIA Ampere series of GPUs scheduled for release in just a few months? I'm currently delaying the purchase of a new GPU to see what Nvidia offers up in August.

Haha, the "million times faster and cure death" is, what they claim, about 40% faster than the predecessors, but methink they compute the "40% faster" like this: "30% faster for gaming and FP32, and 10% faster for FP64 and LL tests..."
About the price, i guess (from the articles I read) below US$1k5. This, like every time, will push the prices of 2080 Ti down, and it will take its place, which is very good for us, because then, we can buy more 2080Ti and water cool them...

nvidia is rumoured to be making a more unified stack this time which is a role reversal from when AMD did something similar with GCN. Naively that seems like it could be positive for compute but I have a sneaking suspicion that the elements present across the board will be heavily skewed towards tensor and ray tracing. If AMD don't pull something out of the bag with big Navi it's likely to be academic as lack of competition makes nvidia a greedy boy.

September to November depending on model number for RTX3080Ti to 3060
