I'm not sure whether to buy or wait for benchmarks,

Thoughts lads?

I'm sporting a 1070 rn.

Surely wait for benchmark.

Always wait for benchmarks. You could preorder but you'll have to commit to making a rational decision when benches are released rather than oogling the shiny.

well colour me pleasently surprised atthose prices xD

 

[Poneros]

That 3080 is never going to stay in stock

I'm waiting for AMD response. Big Navi is leaked at around the 3080 level

Predictably that was all about RTX.

What we don't know is how fast they are without RTX or how much power they use, he didn't talk about any of that, why not?

Implies runs really not

Yes. Thats a BIG cooler even on the 3080. It will be interesting to see what power it takes, but might be A LOT.

So 3070 and 3080 will clean up the market and anyone wanting to best of the best will pay a hefty premium.

RNDA2 better be amazing or this is gonna be rough in the market share graph.

Indeed, personally, I'm not very interested in RTX, I wouldn't want to go over 150W... or spend much more than £200! 1660 Super for me then. Not sure this release changes much, yet.

So the 3070 is going to meet the performance of the 2080ti that are currently being sold for £1,000 retail for £700?

I noticed that and wondered at the time whether he realises that most folks don't care about RTX yet. They are more interested in real world stuff like how much their existing games run better.

Did anyone get a look at the power connectors for the 3080?

Looks faster (20Tflops) but 8gb Vram, and its $499.

Did you notice where it shows RT performance in graphs (post 60) small print at bottom says RT = RT with DLSS. But the 10 series shown on same graph are without DLSS.
Which to me means it is not a true comparison of performance differential.

So only applies to a very small minority of games.

 

[pp111]

I notice he didn't give relative performance figures for the 3090.

So in other words the only thing we can surmise from this is that they run very hot ( huge heatsinks ). Other than that we know every little.

we know pricing - and PCIE 4

 

[Shante]

3070 faster than 2080ti amazing

 

[pp111]

True.. I guess we will have to wait now for the reviews to see if they are worth it.

 

[LePhuronn]

3070 faster than 2080ti amazing

Really not. It should be after 2 years.

 

[LePhuronn]

C'mon AMD, this practically an open goal...
