NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

[justwondering]

Which GPU manufacturer has the best warranty/customer service in the UK?

I have found MSI to be great overall, but their base is in Poland, I didn't enjoy Gigabyte RMA at all, EVGA was good though... Never tried ASUS RMA.

Sadly AMD would have needed a rock solid press release announcement say within a week of nvidia.
Sadly something tells me they dont have anything that will compete. You're totally right AMD would need a rock solid announcement now to stop people jumping on buying new nvidia.
I think they're scrambling in the r&d department trying to get something that will compete, I just dont think they'll do it. As previously mentioned AMD have bee n threatening nvidia for over the past decade, the threats haven't come very close.

I think having an official press conference a week after Nvidia would be a bad idea. They do not have the marketing pull of Nvida. There were 200k people in the twitch stream yesterday. I don't think AMD could have pulled such numbers.

Lets see what strategy AMDs marketing team are going to use.

I had to return a 2080Ti version of these due to a bad fan, and I have to say the MSI customer service was shocking - they didn't even want to talk to me. So that personal experience, plus the shady goings on as discussed on Gamers Nexus, makes me want to avoid this like the plague. But if I can see past these, I have a feeling it will be one of the better ones for sure.

link me to the gamers nexus ? what people been saying?

True and MSFS2020 maxes out my 11GB vram, so 24GB would be very nice

Might max it out but does it actually need to.

Quote yourself with the exact prices, before yesterday then. That is what most would do. You said nothing I didn't. They would be fast, they would be cheaper than Turing.

"I lost". What would that be exactly?

Like I said, you are twisting my words. Continue to do so if you like, doesn't bother me any.

Knew you could not resist.

I don't need to quote myself, I said many times, if you are that interested go search for it yourself

So which 3080 is the best to go for, which manufacturer?

FE. I don't see any reason to get an AIB unless you have an itx build, and need a blower.

Prices can change guys, either way remember that, it is very early days and pricing is yet to finalised by many board partners.
OcUK will aim to have largest range online and the very best prices with plenty of stock coming in.

Youre expecting these to be massive sellers aren't you gibbo. Not surprised, think there was a lot of shock here at the (as yet unvalidated) performance jump for this launch.

Guessing already been mentioned but SLi only for 3090 now

FS2020 maxes out 11gb?

I'm building a Computer for FS2020 and am thinking of buying the 3080 as I can't really justify spending £1,500 on a graphics card. I have other expensive hobbies!

Which settings are you maxing out 11gb with? Ultra?

We will see, right now Nvidia will be getting my money directly on a 3080. Even though I am not exactly a huge fan of their new design, it certainly looks a lot more premium than the cheap looking stuff the board partners want for the same price. If no game included like Nvidia then they need to drop no less than £50 to get my attention.

I'm just worried the FE cards will go out of stock before big navi launches so I'll be 'forced' to get an AIB 3080 or possibly AIB 3090 if they're still better than AMD's offering.

If you are keen enough on the website when they go live, have an account signed up with payment details etc ready. you will get one when they go live on launch day.

I have to admit it's interesting that a lot of manufacturers have 3xPCI-E connectors on board for their premium 3080's definitely looks like they are looking to enable to highest overclocking potential. Silicon lottery aside of course...

good to hear on the stock gibbo! please save me a 3080!

Where is your evidence other than what NVIDIA have said that the FE coolers are substantially better than last years versons?

As always, benches will reveal all.

Jensen did say on release that they are far better than last gen Turing.

Guessing already been mentioned but SLi only for 3090 now

And it's more "NV Link" than "SLI" and intended for those using multiple 3090s for workloads other than gaming.

Wouldn't surprise me if driver SLI support actually disappears for games soon.

When can we expect reviews?

I know how to block up AIB cards, never held an FE.

Looking at the FE shroud don't see any screws. Looks a bit like a crow-bar job.

How are NV with warranty on watercooled cards?

 

[Krowzer]

FE looking like the best option so far, only other AIB I might consider is EVGA.
