I do wonder how much of an effect it will have on air coolers in ITX cases (such as the NR200), and whether having generally good flow in the case will mitigate it somewhat. Having just bought an NR200 (waiting on delivery) and eyeing up the 3080 to replace a 970 loaner, I'm more than a little concerned.That is going to suck for mini-ITX systems!
Also,I hope people have decent CPU cooling,that hot air is being dumped right onto the motherboard!

I'm waiting for someone online with a 10900K/2080 combo to test their FPS at that point in Doom from the Digital Foundry video. That was the point where they said they got 2x the performance at 4K. I'd like to know twice what exactly!!

Ryan Smith from AT made some performance/watt calculations:

The problem is the board power is between 320W~350W for the RTX3080/RTX3090. This is not something that I would want in Ghost S1 or something like that!
I think waiting for RDNA2 next month might be prudent,to see if they have delivered on their efficiency claims. Either that or get the RTX3070 which is rated at 220W board power.

2080ti's are now selling for $600usd on ebay
Turing was really good at underclocking. People with ITX can do that if they wish - for example you can make a 2080ti draw 60% its normal TDP for just 20 to 30% performance loss - if that transfers over to Ampere then you can cut a 100w to 150w off the TDP of a 3080/3090 and it would still be significantly faster than the 2080ti

Gamer's Nexus flagged this for testing. So will be some reviews if you can wait. My 1080ti was a founders edition as I got a free upgrade from the 980 classified from Evga due to manufacturing issues with the 9 series.
Sweet to get the upgrade but could not live with the blower (noise/ heat) so had to drop some more cash on a cooler.
Wait for reviews or an aftermarket card, is my plan. Joy of new shiny kit just gets replaced by irritation with noise and heat issues, price is such want to stick it in the system and run without having to throw more money at it.
I was expecting consistency with the last generation for power consumption has ryan says the extra performance has come at the expense of increased wattage. I would not be surprised when the refresh comes if they try to reduce that.
If you are looking to upgrade and you have an old card it would be better to get it sold earlier than later S/H pricing is really going to get hit pre Christmas.

To those who still bought a 2080ti for $1200 after being told it would be a paper weight once ampere was released I ask you...Can you still afford it to go 3090 without having to sell 2080ti?

some interesting choice of words here. I bought a 2080ti off OCUK at launch for 1k as they were doing slight discounts on pre orders. I’ve been using it to run sims in vr at 90hz and since late last year, 120hz (per eye!) with most settings maxed out. Something the 1080ti simply could not come close to. Not to mention the 1080ti was still in the 700 range at the time.
I was completely shocked to find out my card still did this last night even after it learned of the amazing ampere launch. It didn’t kill itself knowing it’s now a “paper weight.” Maybe it’ll need some therapy so I’ll give it a driver upgrade to make it feel new again.
Will I get a 3090? Probably because I want a 48cx as my main screen and play games like cyberpunk at 4K60 with RTX. Or maybe I’ll stick with my paper weight until the S/Ti variants.
At this stage the 3090 does nothing to enhance my current gaming experience but it allows me to consider experiencing new ones in a different capacity.

You buying the 3080? It will be much better than the Titan XP. Like double I think.
Thanks.
I would like the 3090.
But. I want to see real benchies and if it can overclock.
I won't be paying the £200 more for an aftermarket cooler.
When I can get a Alphacool water cooling system for under £200.
How about you?

Confirmed no pre-orders this time, from Nvidia themselves anyway. That sucks, guess I won't be sleeping, don't want to miss out.
i would say more about the consoles. At this price range many ppl will stick with the pc instead. I know this has killed any urge to get a release day ps5 or Xbox x series. It doesn’t help there’s no release exclusive I want to play either
