NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

I think anyone with a decent 600 watts psu should be fine

I hope so for the 3080. I have a Seasonic 650W Modular PSU with a 3700X, 2070S, 1TB SSD AIO Cooler and 4 case fans, wireless keyboard and mouse. I am more concerned about spending £650 on a 3080 and to just recycle old games I have already played and the apparent lack of quality games coming out to justify my spend. After all, I resort back to TF2 after all is said and done on my LG C9 at 1440p lol
 
I know this is the GPU thread but the whole PCIe3/4 is bothering me. Are there any current gen chips/motherboards that will be compatible with 11th Gen intel chips or has that information not been disclosed yet?

And I don't know how well that will be on Intel motherboards. But I will say that's going to be one expensive motherboard if you are on Intel with a CPU that's compatible.
Other then that AMD is your only upgrade path for PCIE 4.0.

Haha i too will be buying 1 second past 2pm.

Out of curiosity which card are you all going for? (which Partner or Founder)

My preference is Zotac for the warranty but it will come down to whichever card I can get a waterblock that fits it quickly. That would now appear to mean it wont be the founders edition as nobody is making waterblocks for them as they are not "reference" this generation which is a shame,.
 
I just had a thought.... I've never used it before, but I could theoretically upscale my games form 1440p to 4k right so the GPU renders the content at 4k and I view it on my 1440p panel?

Has anyone done this before and would I get any IQ improvements from it?

Could be good for games that with a 3080 at 1440p produce constant frames well exceeding 144hz, I could upscale the image to 4k instead.
 
AFAIR it was free and quick DEL on my 1080Ti and then Titan Xp (2017)

Cant add new card to cart yet, but added a 2000 series just now to see and was free shipping.
 
I think i am going to go for the 3080 founders or the Gigabyte Aorus Master (maybe).

I am somewhat anticipating having to probably wait (might end up getting the 3090 on an impulse if i miss the 3080).
 
So, what does FE get you over the reference boards?
Is it just a limited style cooler?
What have other FE editions in the past done?

- don't all the other ones clock slightly faster and run cooler?

Thanks

:confused: FE is a reference board. The cooler is a new take on their FE design, as for cooling we've no clue yet as this is new for a nvidia reference card.
 
1000 series the FE clock per clock were faster and yes louder.

I and many tried aftermarket Bios on our FE and they could be faster core clock but same or lower score and in my case no core gain even a touch lower.

So a stock Nvidia 1080Ti FE and then Titan XP (2017) (FE not StarWars) both did 2100mhz Core in games looping Heaven and Valley
