When I first read the review, I couldn't understand why the author was mentioning that FP16 will surely be improved by new drivers despite not understanding that FP16 TFlops are exactly the same as FP32, tensor cores were nerfed and FP32 accumulate set to 0.5x speed, instead of Titan RTX's 1x. I'd say the results are as good as it gets, if you want a better performance, wait for Ampere Titan or Quadro.
- vimy 6y agoI was under the impression the 3090 is the Titan of this generation.
- henriquez 6y agoRumor is that there will be a 48gb Ampere Titan. Nvidia has never been one to shy away from making money!
- Klinky 6y agoIt's the "Titan class" card of this generation, which is the shady way Nvidia explained it wasn't a Titan. "Titan class" != Titan
- spott 6y agoI was as well, until I saw the Linus Tech Tips review of it: the drivers are (were?) missing support for some Titan optimizations -- the Titan RTX significantly beat the 3090 for a few benchmarks. If the card doesn't have these optimizations, I would expect that an actual 30 series Titan is coming at some point... But the marketing has been really confusing, so who the hell knows.
- nightski 6y agoNot only that they gimped the tensor cores. While it has way more shading units it only has 60% of the tensor cores that the Titan RTX has. I'm not sure how much of a difference this makes in practice, but it leads me to believe this is not the titan level card.
- StrangeDoctor 6y agoIt’s typically problematic to compare cores across generations. They are pretty different in 30xx vs 20xx. Half as many but roughly twice as fast in most tasks.
- pbalau 6y ago20xx had 2060 - low end, 2070 - mid, 2080 - high. The 3000 have 3070, 3080 and 3090. It looks to me that 3090 is the equivalent of 2080 (TI or super or what have you), not a step above (name wise).
- dbkinghorn 6y agowell ... it was wishful or hopeful thinking :-) I do hope to see better performance but I'm not as optimistic now as I was at first (got some pretty enlightening comments on the post)
