RTX3090 and P3D V5

[G-RFRY 1,710]

I don`t think they will wait two years this time they don`t want AMD to get a march on them, and according to reports Nvidia are no longer making the 3000 series GPU`s they are leaving that too the AIB partners, they may be working on something new and may be build the stock before release after the lashing they got with the 3000 series release.

While every discussion about topics like these is just pure speculation (including my own opinion), it's still very unlikely. AMD won't catch up that fast, especially when it comes to Raytracing Performance and things like DLSS, the main focus nowadays when it comes to gaming performance.

NVIDIA doesn't "make" ANY GPUs. They're fabless - they create chip designs (and of course the designs for RTX 4000 Series and even the next successor most likely already exist), which are more like "blueprints". These chips are manufactured by other companies, like TSMC or Samsung (current 3000 Series). AIB partners then put these chips on actual graphics cards. Maybe you meant the "Founders Edition", sold and marketed by NVIDIA directly - but even those are NOT built by NVIDIA, they're made by Foxconn or AIB partners like PNY, too  - and those current Founders Editions are still being built.

Like I already said, there are still GPUs in the 3000 series line-up not even released - on the lower end of the line-up like the 3060, but also unannounced cards like the 20GB 3080 series card which is still not off the table for a later release this year.

What NVIDIA will most likely do.. releasing refreshes like the "Super" series in the past, if they think it's neccessary. One should not forget, NVIDIA is nowhere "under pressure" by AMD or what the average customers thinks. Their market share is still above 75% - and this won't magically change, even if AMD steps up and releases some flagship card that's maybe roughly better in raw / "paper" performance than NVIDIAs best model.

There are real shortages due to COVID and other factors. So even if NVIDIA wanted, there's no way they can "build up stock" that fast for a NEW generation of gaming GPUs when at the same time they're not really able to match the demand of the current generation. On the other hand, why should they bring something new, given the fact that due to the current situation, everybody including board partners, retail vendors, etc. earn way more money, because people buy those cards happily still priced over MSRP. That doesn't make any sense from an economical point of view. They will milk the hell out of this situation, that's how this business works. It's not like that people aren't buying their stuff.

Anyway.. what I wanted to say is: Rumors about NVIDIA releases were almost always wrong in the past, that's because NVIDIA is really good in keeping their stuff secret with almost no real leaks. So chances are high this story repeats here again. Those "leaks" you find on some tech news sites are just guesses by so-called "business insiders" who don't have any real insights. And even if somebody should leak some real stuff, you can bet their "partnership" with NVIDIA will end really quickly. 😉 They're really not amused by this kind of click-bait stuff and they took action in the past.

This why Nvidia may respond before the end of the year some are saying it matches the 3090 and in some games outperforms it.
