Nvidia just announced its new slate of next-generation graphics cards. Thee lineup is headed by the flagship GeForce RTX 3080, the successor to the most powerful mainstream graphics card of the last two years, the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti. As you might expect, this new GPU brings more CUDA, RT, and Tensor cores along with faster memory and perhaps most interestingly a new cooling design, all of which lead to some very promising performance numbers. All told, Nvidia announced three new GPUs today: the RTX 3080, RTX 3070, and a new high-end "BFGPU" called the RTX 3090. More on that beast in a second.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Specs, Price, and Release Date

The new Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 has 10GB of GDDR6X, capable of 30 shader-tflops, 58 RT-tflops, and 238 Tensor-tflops. According to Nvidia, it's twice as powerful as the RTX 2080. The RTX 3080 starts at $699 and will be available September 17.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Specs, Price, and Release Date

Stepping down from the 3080 is the RTX 3070. This new GPU has 8GB GDDR6 memory, is capable of 20 shader-tflops, 40 RT-tflops, and 163 Tensor-tflops, and according to Nvidia is more powerful than the RTX 2080 Ti – currently the most powerful mainstream graphics card available. The RTX 3070 will launch in October, starting at $499, which is less than half the RTX 2080 Ti's current prices.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 Specs, Price, and Release Date

At the top of the pile is the RTX 3090, the Titan of this generation (without the Titan branding). This absolute monster of a card (seriously, it's huge) has a ridiculous 24GB of GDDR6X memory, and can push out 36 shader-tflops, 69 RT-tflops, and 285 Tensor-tflops of GPU power. Nvidia claims the card is capable of playing games at 60 fps in 8K. It starts at $1,499 and will be available on September 24.

Poker Club has been announced for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, with cross-platform and cross-generation online play. Announced by Ripstone Games and coming this year, Poker Club aims to be a social experience, including 200-player tournaments, and online Career Mode that take splayers from back-room games to high-stakes tables, and many, many options for other modes. The game will also feature private online games, and a full Poker 101 tutorial to help bed in new players. You can also create or join clubs in game, allowing players to work together to meet shared goals that unlock unique gear rewards for your customisable character. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/01/poker-club-reveal-trailer"] Current-gen owners of the game will be able to get a free upgrade to the next-gen versions. On PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X, the game will play at 4K / 60 FPS, and include ray tracing. On PS5, the game will even make use of the DualSense controller's haptic feedback technology. Speaking to IGN, game director Phil Gaskell explained that next-gen SSDs have been a game-changer: "We've been working on the proprietary tech in the systems to reduce load times in the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions of Poker Club. Loading is now practically non-existent, it makes the whole experience feel seamless, you won’t ever want to go back!" As for the addition of ray tracing, that too seems to have been a pleasant addition to the mix. "Ray tracing is a huge deal for us," explains Gaskell, "we knew we wanted to use it on PC, but weren’t sure how it would work on console. We were so impressed with how capable they are in that department. With ray traced lighting/shadows/reflections, Poker Club is brought to life. We’re happy to say It looks incredible on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=poker-club-6-screenshots&captions=true"] Gaskell makes clear the key benefit of both next-gen consoles - that compromises no longer have to be made to achieve the desired results: "Whereas before in game development you had to pick and choose your battles: are we going to target high frame rates / top-end visual features / high rendering resolution / etc. With the power of these new consoles, we can choose everything, it’s a no compromise experience."

Magic: The Gathering will get a new set based on Dungeons & Dragons during Q3 2021, titled Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. Announced during Magic's Zendikar Adventuring Party livestream, the set will be fully standard-legal and black-bordered, meaning the set can interact with other mainline Magic sets. Check out the logo below: No other details have been offered, other than to say neither Magic or D&D players will want to miss what's coming, and that D&D is coming to Magic's multiverse (although it's not clear how extensive that crossover will be). It was far from the only new set announced today. Magic's Q1 2021 set will be Kaldheim, a Viking-themed set, Q2 brings Strixhaven, based in a Wizard university (essentially it sounds like Magic-but-Hogwarts), and Q4 will bring two new, full-sized Innistrad sets, one centred on werewolves and the other on vampires (with a tease of a "vampire wedding" being involved). We also saw a Walker token based on The Walking Dead, which will be coming to Magic's limited edition Secret Lair store in future: Finally, we also received word that Magic: The Gathering Arena will be coming to mobile "soon" - although no other specifics were given. If you want more Magic, check back with IGN tomorrow, when we'll be exclusively revealing new cards from the Zendikar Rising set arriving this month.

Netflix has unveiled a new promotion that offers a selection of its original movies and TV show episodes to non-subscribers for free. The streamer's new "Watch Free" page invites users to sample some of its content without a subscription. "Netflix is the premiere destination for all your entertainment needs," the website states. "But don't take our word for it–check out some of our favorite movies and TV shows, absolutely free." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/01/03/bird-box-ending-explained"] The current selection of free titles on the website comprises of the Sandra Bullock thriller Bird Box, the Oscar-nominated biopic The Two Popes, and the Sandler-Aniston comedy Murder Mystery, which was the platform's most popular release last year. On the TV side, Netflix is offering pilot episodes of some of its most popular shows, including Stranger Things, Elite, Boss Baby: Back in Business, When They See Us, Love Is Blind, Our Planet, and Grace and Frankie, starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. Netflix notes on the catalogue's corresponding support page that non-account holders can access its free-to-watch library of movies and TV episodes by using web browsers on computers and Android devices (while iOS browsers are not currently supported). [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=netflix-spotlight-september-2020&captions=true"] Over the years, Netflix has garnered a reputation for spending enormous amounts of money to secure original streaming content for its platform in a bid to stay ahead of its competitors in the increasingly crowded streaming landscape. In fact, it was projected earlier this year that Netflix would be spending $17.3 billion on new content for 2020, up from $15.3 billion last year. For more on Netflix's entertainment offerings, check out everything that is new to the platform this month. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Adele Ankers is a Freelance Entertainment Journalist.
