I’m possibly open to a $1,400 3090 because I got $1K for my two-year-old 2080Ti. And I play VR flight sims, which means I really am just buying the 3090 to hold me off until the 4090 Ti is released. :)

That said, I was expecting and hoping for $1200 or less.

4993

The 3090 as rumored is the Titan of the generation, not the 2080Ti replacement. So maybe there will be a 3080Ti type card around that range. Looking forward to having real info instead of all these rumors.

4994

As I noted earlier, there will probably be a refresh on 7nm process in 2021, which will offer substantially better performance. I would expect a 3080ti or 3080 Super then. Assuming the various rumors aren’t bullshit, anyway.

4995

More juicy rumors. RTX3090 is 24GB, RTX3080 10GB. AIB partners may choose to ship 3080s with 20GB RAM if they want.

RTX3080 has exact same number of CUDA cores as the RTX2080ti. Process and architectural improvements and faster memory should make it much faster, though.

4996

Yup, and now saying the 90/80/70 cards will be revealed on the 1st, which of what I was hoping for.

4997

We still don’t have performance numbers but it’s starting to seem like the 3080 will be a worthy upgrade from the 2080, which is a nice change of pace from shitty 20-series sidegrades.

Also here’s a video straight from Nvidia confirming their weird cooling design.

4998

“Confirmed”. They keep using that word but…

In any case, I’ll know for sure on the 1st. The 3080 is the card I’ll be looking at, but the devil will be in the details. I’d need to know how much faster it is over the current 2080ti, as well as the cost, of course. At 3440x1440 my GTX 1080 just needs a little more oomph, especially with the next generation of games around the corner.

Will be interesting to see if that cooler is on all the FEs

Rubs chin hmm maybe I should hold onto my 2080 and wait for the 3080ti next year. If there really will be such a card.

3080ti could be the magical card for this gen that that 1080ti was.

5001

No, it definitely won’t be that. The 1080ti was a remarkably strong value because Nvidia was competing against what they wrongly anticipated to be a very strong Vega 64. The 3080ti will cost at least $1400 because RDNA2 won’t compete in its performance tier.

5002

Sigh…

Stusser be all like:

5003

$1400 is the lowest pricing rumor, too. Some go up to $2k.

5004

I’d prefer to see a 12GB 3090 (or 3080 Ti, whatever they call it). 24GB is overkill.

5005

I don’t see any reason why AIB partners couldn’t sell that too, but I don’t know that they’d be able to offer a discount below Nvidia’s MSRP floor. Depends on how those contracts are written.

5006

I’m fine with 1080p gaming, so I hope a 3060 will be more than enough. I was really happy with GPU being boring, them turning exciting again is going to hurt the wallet.

5007

It definitely will be enough. Hell, a 2060S is more than enough for 1080p for the next 5 years.

Possibly not a 2060 non-Super.

5008

Even if games go all in on ray tracing?

5009

This video Stusser posted is really cool. Give it a view if you haven’t already.

5010

No, but most probably won’t, because next-gen consoles look to have very weak RT capabilities in-line with the 20-series.

5011

Really? That’s unfortunate.
