NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

[danlightbulb]

Imagine how I feel. I saved £1800 for GPU upgrades and have no idea what to buy 2 3080s or 1 3090..................is 2 gpus suddenly amazing with new nvlink tech that scales in every game? Or is paying a tiny bit more for 1 slightly bigger card worth it with my budget? Don't question cost with me I have a decent job ty.

No SLI on 3080.

And also:

RTX 3090 - 328 TMUs, 96 ROPs, Pixel Rate 162.7 GPixels/s, Texture Rate 556.0 GTexels/s https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-3090.c3622
RTX 2080 Ti - 272 TMUs, 88 ROPs, Pixel Rate 136.0 GPixels/s, Texture Rate 420.2 GTexels/s https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-2080-ti.c3305
+20%, +9%, +19.6%, +32%

Indeed.

Like I said, just be very very careful.

3090 is looking great, hopefully reviews won't take too long to come

Well the Boardman Gravel bike I'm integrated in is OOS everywhere and no indication of when it'll be back in stock, so **** it, my birthday is in October so I'll treat myself.

I game at 1440p UW 100Hz so the 3080 should run that nicely.

Not like I haven't got a bike already to plod along in.

I ride but nothing special, my mate always says the optimal number of bikes is N+1, N being the number you already own. I have to sell my second as haven't used it in 4 years and it could fund something more fun such as a 3070 for my second PC.

1gpu has always been better in gaming recently. SLI is dead imo

LOL. I genuinely do need to boost my pot though and you are quite correct about OT being needed to do that but Covid has killed that and figures are down for the year

Hey Gregster, you might as well quickly sell that 2080Ti and grab a 3080 bro. Nice upgrade and you will get to enjoy with us the shiny new tech

Hope a 3080 does 4k 60 for a good 2 to 3 years

Err did you not see the performance graph, the 3070 is spanking the 2080S in standard gaming. It will be slightly faster than the 2080ti

The performance is measured with rt and dlss on, so not quite as clear cut. It may not be as fast in games without those features.

3080 looking like a upgrade for my 1080ti.

 

[RavenXXX2]

Imagine having recently bought a 2080ti at over a grand.

 

[redkrptonite]

Wanted a 3080ti not sure a 3090 will fit in my case.

Same same. It's only 18mm longer so it should still fit in a typical midi case

Don't question cost with me I have a decent job ty, rather comically though I love my case, board and nvmes so I try not to upgrade cpu until deadly needed - am desperate for intel to go pcie4 before I do that.

Wait for reviews. Most engines and developers don’t code for SLI/NVLink any more. I honestly feel dual cards are no longer necessary.

That 3080 is super tempting, I'll probs order from Nvidia although I MUST wait until I see RDNA2.

Learn from history with predictions.

Hey Stanners, I made it through without a suspension it seems. How did you enjoy the ride?

You gona ban me now right

 

[McGraw]

No SLI on 3080.

but he has a decent job

That's my issue - add in the price differential for a few % more - I don't think I can justify that

 

[Journey]

Hey man look, I have no doubt at all that these cards will trump the 20 series in RT and DLSS. No doubt at all. I never have. But. When you look at them in the cold light of day and ignoring all of the wizardry? like I said a couple of pages back, when something sounds too good to be true.......

Well with "5888 - NVIDIA CUDA Cores " on the 3070 they have really had to cover their asses for some reason.

kick to the teeth but they knew this was coming. But yowch, minimum 50% loss if they want to sell the card now
