To be honest, it's really weird this "reference" pcb on Ampere gpu.
If so call "reference" PCB is not even applied by Nvidia, it's no longer a reference.
For my understanding "reference" should refer to Founder's Edition PCB...that's all.

It is different for this generation. There is an reference PCB, but FE cards don't use it.
what the purpose to call a "reference" pcb if nobody is using it...
quite useless I must say..

I am sure that someone will be using it, we will have to wait and see. After all, it is very compact with waterblock, so I hope that someone will use it.
EDIT: Ok, now I see that EKWB pictured some cards that will use reference PCB:
Did You Know? The NVIDIA 30 Series Founders Edition Layout Is Not a Reference Design - ekwb.com
The launch of new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics cards has caused some confusion on the market regarding the compatibility and we are here to help set the record straight. This is the first generation of graphics cards that very clearly separates the term "Founders Edition" from the...

I suppose, Nvidia designed a reference PCB and gave it to AIBs ahead of time for them to design their own cooling solution. Nvidia also designed another PCB for the FE. AIBs, of course, will design their own custom PCB to beef up some features.
And, waterblocks are going to be available for the reference PCB mainly.

lol most of tech youtubers are publishing this unboxing video..
Well yes and no. Even currently all GPU hot air is exhausted inside the case (sandwich style like SM560).
What we don't with ampere is impact on PSU lifespan, GPU temperature and noise level.
I prefer to let other users test their ampere first..
As SM550 and SM560 owners we should not worried too much with GPU compatibility as our case is 2.5 slots and 3.5 slots compatible..
However for Dan a4 and loque Ghost S1 I'm worried about RTX 3080 compatibility.So what do you think is it better choice Strix with that cut out on backplate or msi trio oc?Well yes and no. Even currently all GPU hot air is exhausted inside the case (sandwich style like SM560).

Well all my GPU were from MSI...so my advice will be to wait for reviews of all cards and review of ampere in sandwich case style..
Thanks, i m looking at lenght of msi 3080 trio x oc and it is really at limits of what fits into sm560....Well all my GPU were from MSI...so my advice will be to wait for reviews of all cards and review of ampere in sandwich case style..
Normally not..
Goods news for SM550 or Ncase M1 case owners, EVGA RTX 3070/3080/3090 series XC3 will definitely fit inside SM550 (confirmation received..
) :Here are pictures of RTX 3090 FTW3 (2,75 slots) and XC3 (2.2 slots) GPU

The hype was real-ly overplayed. Nvidia's '1.9x' figures were overblown, which was predictable.....but. Bigly.
Don't get me wrong...25% gains in 4K resolution IRL in rasterization in games over the 2080Ti is an impressive year over year gain. But it is nothing to do with '1.9x'. But it is also at the cost of a 25% higher power budget. I'm thinking I'll sit on my 2070 until these performance gains come with more sane power budgets.
Techpowerup has 10900K vs 3900XT...TPU also checks out the PCIE scaling too.
2 good readings there.
So far, I have not seen one testing inside a SFF case (especially a sandwich layout).
TPU tested in a full tower case while guru3d used a test bench.
