Always liked the Golden Sample cards.
 
Really?? How do you get the games onto the computer? I assume you install them??
My point is, the people who think they "just game" always do more.

I mean as far as I am concerned this is just a gaming rig, i don't work on it. Yet right now I have a game running, discord, chrome, bing maps and i'm downloading a different game. Thas very typical usage for most "gamers".
I'm sorry but this is - by far - the most ridiculous thing that I've seen posted in the last few years.

The idea that booting up your PC before you play games on it, means you don't "just game", is so logically flawed that my brain just wants to melt on reading this drivel.

If you can't understand that the CPU use when booting or downloading via Steam is very likely <5%, then you really need to stop posting.

AMD fanboys, y'all. Spouting the most absurd nonsense in defence of their idol since forever.

PS, you heard it hear first. Consoles aren't "just gaming systems", since they have to boot their OS when you turn them on. "That's not gaming! That's an OS!"

It'll work and may slow it down very marginally in a few titles. x8 is different story.

Nice to know - im still rocking a i7-6700k and 980ti and its struggling a bit (50fps med qual) on COD Warzone (3440x1440WS) and would like to play this and new one on full quality at 100fps..

Dont fancy upgrading my mobo/cpu etc.......
 
Bit worried about the connectivity. I run triples, but only 3 Display ports means ill have to swap out one monitor every time to fire up VR. The HDMI connection will connect to a monitor but I think since my monitors are about 3-4 years old the connection would be lesser spec older HDMI and only run at 60 hz dropping so ild have to drop all my surround Benq down to 60 hz.
If i just pull a monitor lead out windows has a kerfuffle n gets in a right tizz.
 
Nice flex. Would be great if SLI was still in any meaningful way supported.

Probably won't be ill get have the 1 like last time and clock the nuts of it my 2080ti stays at a constantly 2145 mhz and does go over 35 degrees, got 2nd and 3rd on gpu benchmarks on ocuk
 
I'm really confused about whether to go FE or AIB now.

Was fully intending to go FE this time round but it's all very muddy right now.

The FE will likely be available earlier and have a potentially better cooling solution (versus AIBs just throwing their 2080Ti "brute force" solutions on it).
Also the reference board will ensure the best future waterblock compatibility if I go that route whereas it's currently unclear how many AIBs will use the same board.

On the flipside, rumour is that it'll be conservatively clocked versus AIBs. I know I could overclock it myself but frankly I don't like messing with that kind of thing and just want to buy something fast enough and run it at stock.
The 12-pin power connector is also massively annoying as I have custom cables.

A lot of people seem to be speculating on whether the FE will have binned or cherry-picked GPUs but frankly I don't believe this for a second. It's far too much time and work to speed bin GPUs just for their FE cards when that's not NVidia's core business, they make their money selling processors to AIBs, not making cards themselves.
 
For the 2080S to go from 3072 to 4352 cores in the 3080 is a BIG jump for nVidia, they're certainly scared of something...


problem is the 3080 has 10gb of ram which i find really odd, why pack a huge amount of cores into the die and skimp on the ram, it looks more and more that a ti model will land eventually with either 12,16,20gb variants, perhaps amd really has something with rdna2?

I dunno, if they were quaking in the boots wouldn't they up the RAM anyway as cost is not a factor in nvidia releases?
