NVIDIA is expected to provide more details about its next generation video card, the RTX 3000 series, at a special GeForce event on September 1st. To think about it, the company has released a short technical video that gives us a glimpse at its new GPU designs – probably the enormously leaky RTX 3090 card – and provides some details about their plans. The RTX 3000 cards are expected to be the consumer debut of NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture, which first appeared in the expensive A100 GPU for data centers.
While NVIDIA does not yet give us specific details about its new cards, the company has confirmed leaks that suggest it will transition as a 12-pin power connection. That’s slimmer than using two 8-pin connectors, where the company’s high-end cards are currently trusted, and it gives the company more room for additional hardware around the GPU. The technical video also discusses an improved focus on cooling, probably because the new architecture runs much faster than its existing maps. The alleged RTX 3090 leak on Twitter (above) shows a card with a massive cooler, which will likely take up three PCIe slots.
