NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

That is a beefy mother of a cooler.

*Looks at 980Ti KFA2...(now considers the 3080).

Yeh looks like it has all the cooling needs and yet only 2 years warranty... no idea on the brand as well to be honest.

Clown card has an extra fan on the back so isn't that cheap. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/detail/index/sArticle/87254

KFA designers "would you like some fans?" "yes"

 

[Bindlestiff]

Surprised at the clown card going for an extra fan on the base card. These things must generate some hell of lot of heat!

They went all out with the aesthetics on that one, great job of hiding the fan cable!

Maybe Lisa can tempt you over to the dark side this gen geeza?

Nah, not this time. They have pushed their R&D into CPUs, which has done them proud. AMD will be a token offering again.

Very little on the MM yet to go off. People either don't want to stomach the lowball offers that will come in or they're waiting till they have their new card in hand.

Realistically £350 ish, to someone that is up to date with the news.

ive just seen somebody on facebook wanting £700 for a blower 2080ti. Boils my ****.

What is this IO? No time to watch, so a TL-DR would be sweet thanks

Microsoft DirectStorage. Bypassing the CPU for RAM access to allow GPU to access assets directly on disk.

AC Valhalla I imagine will perform much like Odyssey.

Almost guaranteed. We MIGHT not run into severe CPU bottlenecks this time though, if they release it with Vulkan. Breakpoint (same engine) saw great performance uplift at least in terms of smoothness when they finally added Vulkan to it. Here's hoping!

Don't regret buying one bit, I've had the best out of gaming the last year, upgraded my monitor to UW 1600p and enjoyed that as well.

Sir getting a monster 3090 to go with that sweet LG?

OH MY GOD THAT FAN ON THE TOP OF IT

 

[VincentHanna]

First card under FE pricing now shown, Palit:

I always thought of Palit as being the cheapo brand.

But honestly, my 2080Ti is a Gaming Pro OC has been flawless.

Might aswell wait at this stage now - especially on the MM. You would be better of chancing it on ebay

 

[beany_bot]

Can we talk about the fact that the clown card is a QUADROUPLE SLOT card!?

I thought Palit and zotac was?!?!

So are these benchmarks with or without RT and/or DLSS enabled, I think some people may be throwing Turing cards away too soon.

 

[arc@css]

I've only had the one KFA2 card (my current one), but it's been excellent.

Certainly not a very quiet card like, for example, the Gigabyte SOC GTX570 was, but nothing intrusive whatsoever.

Temps and appearance on the 980Ti are to my liking, too (shame about the lack of a backplate on it, 'tis all).

Nothing wrong with my Palit Dual 2080Ti either. I'd definitely consider them again, though only a 2 year warranty where others do 5

Only the Digital Foundry testing of 2080 Vs 3080 which demonstrates 80% increases in Borderlands 3 and up to over 100% in Doom Eternal.

Totally, I've messaged a few, some thank you for the info and some get really annoyed!
