    Quantifying the relative performance of RTX 3000 Series

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 08:18 PM PDT

    Nvidia has a graphic on their RTX 3000 series page that highlights the relatives performance of both the 3070 and the 3080 in six selected games: source

    Converting these to numerals gives:

    Relative Performance 2070S 2080S 3070 3080 3090*
    Borderlands 3 1 1.10 1.37 1.87 2.25
    Doom Eternal 1 1.17 1.43 1.90 2.28
    RDR2 1 1.15 1.38 1.79 2.15
    Control (RTX) 1 1.12 1.40 1.90 2.28
    Mincraft (RTX) 1 1.20 1.57 2.17 2.61
    Wolf.YoungB 1 1.12 1.43 1.96 2.35
    Average 1 1.14 1.43 1.93 2.32

    Note: RTX 3090 is 20% faster than the 3080 on paper so I've included its performance as so (speculation)

    Taking the 2070S as the baseline, and using TechPowerUp's 4K relative performance chart here, the performance estimates are as follows:

    Card Relative Performance
    GTX 1060 3GB 34
    RX 570 4GB 39
    GTX 1060 6GB 43
    RX 580 8GB 46
    RX 590 8GB 51
    GTX 1660 6GB 51
    GTX 1660 Ti 6GB 59
    GTX 1070 8GB 61
    RX Vega 56 8GB 68
    GTX 1070 Ti 8GB 70
    RTX 2060 6GB 73
    GTX 1080 8GB 73
    RX Vega 64 8GB 75
    RTX 2060S 8GB 84
    RTX 2070 8GB 88
    GTX 1080 Ti 11GB 98
    Radeon VII 16GB 99
    RTX 2070S 8GB 100
    RTX 2080 8GB 108
    RTX 2080S 8GB 114
    RTX 2080 Ti 11GB 137
    RTX 3070 8GB 143
    RTX 3080 10GB 193
    RTX 3090 24GB 232

    Some takeaways:

    • 3070 might be ~4% faster than 2080 Ti on average
    • 3080 might be ~40% faster than 2080 Ti on average
    • 3080 might be ~79% faster than 2080 on average
    • 3090 might be ~60-70% faster than 2080 Ti on average (if 15-20% uplift over 3080)

    These are only some estimates, with the intention of helping to make an educated buying decisions, but wait for the official 3rd party benchmarks.

    Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Early Look: Ampere Architecture Performance - Hands-On!

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 10:46 AM PDT

    Can we talk about Nvidia casually announcing direct streaming from the SSD, you know, the thing that makes the PS5 a technological marvel?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 09:56 AM PDT

    Did not see that coming, wonder when the first game utilizing it will come around. PCIe gen4 suddenly a must. Or at least soon.

    Nvidia Rep on PCIe 3.0 vs 4.0 for the RTX 3090: "The impact is typically less than a few percent going from a x16 PCIE 4.0 to x16 PCIE 3.0"

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 01:09 PM PDT

    Q: Will PCIe 3.0 bottleneck the RTX 3090? Concerned because my Intel system does not support 4.0.

    A: System performance is impacted by many factors and the impact varies between applications. The impact is typically less than a few percent going from a x16 PCIE 4.0 to x16 PCIE 3.0. CPU selection often has a larger impact on performance. We look forward to new platforms that can fully take advantage of Gen4 capabilities for potential performance increases.

    Explaining Ampere’s CUDA core count

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 10:21 AM PDT

    I have seen some people confused by Ampere's CUDA core count. Seemingly out of nowhere, NVIDIA has doubled the core count per SM. Naturally, this raises the question of whether shenanigans are afoot. To understand exactly what NVIDIA means, we must take a look at Turing.

    In Turing (and Volta), each SM subcore can execute 1 32-wide bundle of instructions per clock. However, it can only complete 16 FP32 operations per clock. One might wonder why NVIDIA would hobble their throughput like this. The answer is the ability to also execute 16 INT32 operations per clock, which was likely expected to prevent the rest of the SM (with 32-wide datapaths) from sitting idle. Evidently, this was not borne out.

    Therefore, Ampere has moved back to executing 32 FP32 operations per SM subcore per clock. What NVIDIA has done is more accurately described as "undoing the 1/2 FP32 rate".

    As for performance, each Ampere "CUDA core" will be substantially less performant than in Turing because the other structures in the SM have not been doubled.

    2 extra SMs pictured on the CG die shot of ga102 that aren't being used in any known products

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 10:37 PM PDT

    So with the reveal of their new cards, Nvidia also put out this picture of a rendering of a die shot of the ga102, found in the 3090. Basic math, 10496/128 (number of cuda cores per SM in ga 102) gives us 82, that's how many SMs are enabled in the rtx 3090. But if you look in the render, you can see 6 12 rows and 7 columns of sets of two SMs, multiplying to 84 SMs. This means that Nvidia has some card up their sleeve that's more powerful than a 3090. It most likely is a quadro, but it's sti interestkng to think about.

    Edit: added higher quality image, showing that the blocks of 2 SMs were divided horizontally.

    Nvidia used a i9-10900K for benchmarks, PCIE 4.0 overblown?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 10:24 AM PDT

    Just wanted to point this out as it was a hot debate recently, but all the pages and graphs that showed Ampere's performance were done on a i9-10900K. Which either shows that the 3.0->4.0 performance difference is zero, or that the 10900k outperforms the 3950x (or any AMD CPU) by enough margin over PCIE 4.0 gains that they chose Intel (which would be single digit gains for 4.0 in most cases)

    Not an Intel vs AMD debate thread, just pointing out that it seems like PCIE 3.0 will be fine for Ampere.
