Yup, they really ****ed over 2080Ti buyers a little eh!!!

Who's been ****** over?

Boughtthe card, used the card, enjoyed the card. Yeah it was pricey, but it was also the best on the market for a couple of years.

People are weird.

Is there anyway ocuk can state which cards are reference PCBs on the webstore?

I seriously doubt any third party cards will be using the same PCB as the FE cards.

None of them will be using 12-pin power connectors for a start.

There is a meme for this.

It may have been the "best" but was very poor value. If you bought one at launch for £1200, it's now worth £400 tops so that's £800 depreciation in only two years which is shocking for a graphics card.

True!

I used to love MSI but gamers nexus put me off with their shenanigans.
What are innno3D like, where's that RMA thread...

6 months into this ******’s lifetime he’ll reappear in his leather jacket to bring us all the exciting news of the Ti Super ultra fan boy edition.

You know it, I know it the world knows it.

Proceed with caution..

True, but the FOMO will win out anyway.

Keep an eye on OcUK webshop, I have added quite a few 3000 series cards this evening giving OcUK largest range in UK at present and potentially world.

Pricing is very strong on these new cards, not much word on supply yet but hopefully that will be strong too.

My thinking is a potential repeat of GTX 970 launch where we sold like 10,000 units in first month because it was incredible value and well the 3070 and 3080 are incredible value for the performance and the 3090 is a monster. EPIC CARDS!

When can we order? 3080 apparently going to be difficult to get.. so may place a preorder even if i end up cancelling later.

Your settings show 50% render resolution, that's not 1440p.

I didn't touch it tbh. Will try that now ta.

Only if you view graphics cards as an investment, which they clearly aren't. They always depreciate massively when the next gen comes out. My company bought one a year and a half ago at £950. I've had a lot of use out of it, professionaly and privately. Far from feeling "****** over", I'm excited to see what the next gen can do. and what AMD can bring to the table.

Thats what I said. Doom eternal uses Vulkun, the best API - DirectX can go get stuffed

This is what I was on about the other day - if no third parties are going to use the FE PCB, will they all design their own? Would be a nightmare for WB manufacturers.

I used to love MSI but gamers nexus put me off with their shenanigans.

Yep exactly the same, they've been taking the mick lately - trying to defend hopeless motherboards, making promises about AM4 compatibility they couldn't back up and now trying to bury poor reviews.

Had an MSI 1080 Gaming X and loved it, great card, but won't go near them again on principle now.

Xbox One X = 6 terraflops
Xbox Series X = 12 teraflops

Forget the cost, am I right Nvidia just announced a graphics card with nearly 36 teraflops? Or are they fudging that figure somehow.

You can't assume that 3x teraflops means 3x frames per second as it doesn't work that way.

The 36 teraflop number is not fugding, that is the single precision output based on its specs when its at 1700mhz

Some 3070's been loaded up on OCUK.

It would be worse if it had been sanctioned for an office of 400?

ALXAndy · 2 Sep 2020 at 00:13

The render resolution is 1440p. 50 is 1440p.

If I change it to 100 this is what happens.

Is twice my native resolution.

Of course everyone's experience is different and you have to make the value judgement for yourself.

The basic facts though are that they released a very overpriced card, judged by its price/performance relative to the previous generation, and have now released a far superior card at a far lower price only two years later. By any measure that is screwing 2080Ti buyers to some degree.

Is 3080 worth it to upgrade a 2080?

Still flopping good though

I'm aware of that, but it's still a huge number.

I got 2080ti 2 years ago and I'll probably get a 3090. Faster renders, more jobs = pays for itself quicker.

If I was just to only game I would stick to a 3070 however I don't so even though the 3090 is stupid expensive it will allow me to get though renders quicker.
