Buying an FE is not a good idea though. So far 3rd party versions have been cooler, quieter and cheaper at the end of the day. It looks really sexy though....

Nvidia is very much the apple of the PC building world. They basically emulate Apple in almost everything they do from the marketing to their product packaging.
I kind of feel sorry for AMD's GPU division because they would now need to release a GPU that is orders of magnitude better in order to claw market share back.

New numbers, still a bit anemic.
That's ashes of the singularity though right?
Not exactly the most GPU intensive game out there.

Maybe. I might be wrong, but I think the FE editions this time around are reference designs + Nvidia putting in more effort to make them better.

Posting it here to get some help ......
I posted in the PC parts/build thread
"I Need a New PC!" 2020. Ray Tracing. 120Hz-360Hz. Next-Gen Already.
Thanks. It makes sense to wait, obviously, but at least now I know what should I aim for. Also, maybe the Navi will influence the prices. I am not in a rush or anything.www.neogaf.com
Hey guys, I am in Canada and would like to get RTX 3080 on launch..in preparation for CyberPunk 2077 of course. I have never purchased a GPU at launch...
Can anyone advise and answer some of my questions?
1. How do people get those founder's Edition cards in Canada? I am not interested in RGB nonsense cards.
2. are they (as in the RTX from Nvidia) available in limited numbers ?
3. Are they easy to buy or are nerds hitting F5 with both hands?
Thanks
Buy from Nvidia.com. They will be approximately exchange rate plus tax and shipping is $52 CAD

3070 and 3090 as well. I'm hoping to snag mine there as I get 10% off one item this month.

Interesting. What would be your choices as alternatives against the FE?

I just wanted to say that you should take everything you read and hear right now with a grain of salt until we have proper reviews. The FE is different this time around, it looks like it's better designed/engineered than the other FEs.

Of course - appreciate the thought. I'm just asking their thoughts on what alternatives they would look at. I'm already prepared for the FE.

No benchmarks! That person is just extrapolating from the same Nvidia charts as all the other wannabe tech youtubers.

I downvoted your video because of your lies.

Same CPU (9900K). Yup AMD can definitely do this.
Rumours of 3060 Ti/Super (= 2080 Super?). 3070 would only be 10-15% faster than it. I think it's clear now the 3070 is not quite at the level of a 2080 Ti.
Isn't this a super CPU intensive game? Waiting to see benchmarks from games that really push GPUs to the brink.

Lower price and/or more performance and/or more VRAM, and maybe their very own software tricks? Let's not forget they actually started the current gen with a bang and had better software stack than Nvidia until the latter got DLSS 2.0 to work. Which as cool as it is is still very rare & inferior to native in terms of IQ (even if by a smidge - no pun intended).
Yes and no. This is an unbelievably well scaling game and there's 0% chance it's CPU-bottlenecked at 4K crazy w/ 4x MSAA, least of all with a 9900K. Of course that doesn't mean it's representative of the wider AAA space. This is basically a high-tech indie RTS, so..

So we have a likely worst-case scenario in which a stock 3080 beats a stock 2080Ti by around 25% and a best case scenario (Doom Eternal) where the advantage goes to around 35%.
I'm ok with that.

Absolutely. Amusingly for me it's kinda in-line with the charts I was making before announcement, so any extra over 25% is gravy. Especially at the lower price.

Article on VideoCardz about new info from Kopite concerning 3060ti/3060 Super.
Summary:
-VCZ expects 3060 by Nov.
-2 models based on GA106 and GA104, the latter being "Ti/Super"
-3060ti/Super has 8GB GDDR6(non-X)
-Kopite datamined it and tweeted about a bunch of models
-VCZ says Super variants weren't expected this year but next year as Ampere refresh with higher-clocked GDDR6X
-VCZ says "Ti" models expected to land right after Big Navi launches.
-3 models mentioned: 3080Ti, 3080 20GB, 3070 16GB
Hot dang, I really hope that 3070 16GB will be mine.

This time the FE card is custom design throughout and the board is only available for Nvidia themselves. They also have a reference design, but as far as I know I don't think anyone acquired it from Nvidia yet.

Not unexpected. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the compute power. And I'm a 'casual' miner.Ethereum Miners Eye NVIDIA's RTX 30 Series GPU as RTX 3080 Offers 3-4x Better Performance in Eth

I don't really see where the 3080Ti would slip in. Yeah it will have more vram but the gap between the 3080 and the 3090 doesn't seem big enough to justify another tier. Between 3070 and 80 we have a gap of around 3000 cuda cores and gddr6x. The 80 and 90 don't even have 2000. A 3080Ti with ~9500 cuda cores won't be really much faster then the 3080. If it will cost only 799€ it could be fine but I bet it's 899€ and that's just not a good buy. The 3080 almost seems too good :/

Ya know everything was lined up for me to get the 3090 and I'm excited to get a new GPU. But having a baby that literally just turned 8 weeks old, it's really hard for me to justify the 3090. Plus I think it makes my wife feel kinda guilty that I'm choosing for the lesser card, which makes me look like super dad putting my priorities in order. Guilt BJ's incoming. Kind of wish they had made a 3080ti with more Vram and maybe a higher clock/cuda count. Think what I'll do is buy the 3080 and then sell that whenever they eventually do announce the Ti. Figured even with the 10gb of vram, just with the performance improvement of the 3080 over the 1080ti is gonna leave me impressed. I mostly play at 3440x1440 120hz so if I can get that 80fps I'll be pretty happy to be honest. I don't think I could wait another 6 mos. for a Ti, but I'm sure I'll have no issues trying to sell the 3080 when it comes that time. Glad I held out though, I'd be so pissed if I was a recent 20xx buyer.
If you bought a 20xx series when it first came out, you more or less held the performance crown for at least 2 years, but still the 1080Ti was the best GPU purchase I've ever made and am so glad I spend the extra dosh at the time for it.

Question for everybody.
So in looking at new TVs, it seems there is 3 different types of VRR: Gsync, Freesync, and VRR over HDMI. Obviously the 3080 will get Gsync support (and I think that means freesync support basically right?), but how does VRR over HDMI work for PC?
My current tv is supposed to get an update for VRR at some point, and was wondering if I could make use of it on my PC. My monitor supports freesync, but I run a hdmi cable to my TV as well for certain games.

Why you shouldn't underestimate Radeon 6000/Big Navi
Introduction With nVidia announcing their RTX 3000 series, everyone is jumping up and down from excitement. The cards are extremely fast, relatively well-priced, and everyone is already planning which card they will be getting. Many are saying that there is no way AMD can catch up, and well, I'm...

I'll say it again. There's a reason the boost of all three cards (RTX 3070/80/90) is rated to be around the 1.7GHz mark. Additionally, the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 are both well above 300W, as per nVidia specs. And why wouldn't they clock the RTX 3070 higher if there is so much headroom?Why you shouldn't underestimate Radeon 6000/Big Navi

If they can indeed reach 2.1 GHz, well, good on them. Considering the already atrocious supply of these cards, good luck getting such a golden sample. Because that's what it would need to be to be able to reach those clocks without catching fire, if nVidia's own specs are accurate.

You started out very respectable. I thought to myself, here is a guy that got caught with his pants down and will actually admit he underestimated the silicon in the 3000-series cards despite him routing for AMD. But nope, he moved the goal post...
