3080 - Goldfish Edition?

Suppose that make sense with so little memory, better than chocolate Starfish edition aka "you know what"

I feels 3090 coming on but not at launch day as not sure if a 3080Ti or 3090Ti will come later (depends if the 3090 is the full fat chip with nothing left to unlock).

Anyway one thread is enough to try keep my eye on so...
 
It is an anti consumer tactic, Another way to make you upgrade sooner when future game specs quote 11gb or so. I mean explain by all means but on a gpu costing this much money how hard would it be to give 12gb GDDR6? I despise these tactics tbh...

Heard the 3080 only has 10gb o' memory. What a joke, gonna call it the goldfish edition lol.

Terrible really, considering the RTX 2080ti had 11GB, how dare Nvidia expect users to slum it with 1GB less than their previous flagship consumer graphics card... Especially for the mid to high range RTX 3080... Sickening ;-)
 
If you need more than 10GB buy a 3090 or wait for AMD. Leave the 10GB cards for those of us who are still using 3GB cards. I’m happy for the extra 7GB;)

Not sure about you, but if i spent £800+ on a GPU and had to turn down settings, id be ******!

Depends on the game, monitor and what the user wants. Game quality settings are arbitrarily set by the developer. Nowadays I'd wager very few could tell the difference between ultra and lower settings, especially when playing the game.

I cannot see a difference and much prefer the smoothness of the (often significantly) higher framerates or the money saved on a lower end card.

Vram problem solved.

Which is what people on 5+ year old cards, or buying the xx50 edition are already practiced in doing.

You've just dropped £800+ on an xx80 card, and you have to drop settings to keep VRAM use under control... I'd say you're a bit miffed :p
 
So... an increase of 2GB over the 2080, and just off last gen's flagship.

Totally, 'goldfish' edition. Obsolete in three months. Nvidia should all be in jail if it costs more than £5.

Back in the real world, with PCIe 4 support enabling faster data transfer between system and graphics memory, various compression techniques etc, games not yet really stretching the 8GB cards... I'm not convinced this is going to be much of an issue.

If I dropped £800 for an xx80 card with 10GB ram I bet my games look and run fantastic. I don't get the obsession with the settings menu.
