How many games actually support SLI still?

More older ones than newer ones.

 

[Joxeon]

I play GTA V maxed out at 4K with 4x TXAA, and 2 2080 Tis struggle in areas with grass. This means that a single 3090 might also struggle.

I might go with 2 3090s in SLI, so I can almost guarantee a minimum of 60 FPS in all games at 4K.

you would also need to upgrade to PCIe gen 4 as gen 3 X8 will almost certainly be a bottleneck.

As well as a step-down transformer substation at the bottom of your garden.

I would certainly recommend Zen 2 then with an X570 board. Not only for the PCI 4.0 on the GPU but im pretty sure stuff like premiere gets a huge benefit from using faster drives. Such as pci 4.0 nvme drives.. Plus the core/£.

Just my opinion though.

But with Zen 3 not far away I'm wondering whether to wait for that as well.

That is also reasonable depending on how far away it is.

Intel CPUs beat AMD CPUs for gaming but AMD has PCI gen 4, will this counteract the performance difference..

Wait until tomorrow.

With the sheer brute force of 2 3090s, I don’t think that using PCIe 3 will have a massive impact. Perhaps 5-10 FPS max? Even a 20/30% improvement over 2 2080 Tis is acceptable to me. In fact, anything that pushes me over 60 FPS at 4K will do.

The ATI x1900 came out before the 8800gtx and the 8800gtx was a beast of a GPU nothing could touch it for ages

I myself went SLI 7800gtx > x1900xt-x > 8800gtx

My bad it was 7800GTX 512mb but the sequence of events regardless of names is real.

 

[RUN4Y0URL1F3]

If two 2080tis can't do that it's not because the cards are bad it's because the engine is ****

Agreed, but the shortcomings of the engine can be alleviated with brute force.

 

[Jacky60]

Shhhh I'm thinking 2080TI SLI

 

[Jacky60]

Depends from ones point of view. If 3070 hits 2080ti performance with double the RT performance for $499 or less then that is not too bad no?

That's a good result, here's hoping!

 

[4K8KW10]

Some estimates from other sites point the RTX 3090 to be roughly 30-35% faster than RTX 2080 Ti.
There is no way on Earth RTX 3070 to be on par with GTX 2080 Ti in raster and 100% faster in ray-tracing than RTX 2080 Ti.

 

[Jacky60]

And, just like Crysis, utterly unrepresentative of 90% of games.

I've been to Rio de Janiero once. I arrived at night and when I awoke in the morning I looked out the 20th floor hotel window. As I looked down it looked like Crysis I **** you not. That's the first thing that occurred to me.
If a video game is 'that' good its really important in the grand scheme of things.

I hope something does push you over 60FPS 4K and we get DX12 plus SLI support in MSFS2020. I just can't see 60fps 4K all ultra over NYC in MS FS 2020 from 3090SLI. I want to but I can't.

I think you may be cherry-picking the highest prices you can find on the old-card in your example. I just went to the bay that sells used stuff and searched for "1080ti"...found 3 cards under $300 on the first page.

I looked at sold prices of auction style listings, and Im in the UK. £400 +/- £30 was the range on the first couple of pages, last couple of days.

Has anyone seen any 3090 leaks with any listed as 27cm or less? All the ones I’ve seen are huge

They are all going to be big GPUs if they have a 350W TDP. Honestly,it would be better to wait and see how both companies stack up,after they release their GPUs.
