News & Reviews:   GeForce RTX 3080

At long last, Nvidia has unveiled its latest Ampere GPUs to the world. It has long been hinted that a launch would happen in September and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang did so yesterday, unveiling three new GPUs that will be available soon. The GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 will be launched within September, followed by the RTX 3070 next month.

Many PC gamers who are willing to splurge are waiting with bated breath, as both AMD and Nvidia are slated to launch powerful new GPUs this year. Nvidia's Ampere-based GPUs, in particular, has been appearing a lot in news lately and now a new leaked benchmark gives us an idea of how well it could perform.

Nvidia is expected to launch new graphics cards based on the Ampere architecture this year and we've been seeing some rumours lately. Early last week there were leaked photos of what the GPU's cooler could look like. But today we have a rather interesting rumour that claims the new RTX 3000 series GPUs could come with an additional chip.

When it comes to their consumer GPUs, Nvidia tends to keep things close to the chest. But news always has a way of leaking, especially when cameras are everywhere these days. The latest leak contains photos of what could be engineering samples of the GeForce RTX 3080 GPU to be leaked online.
