NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

Some 2080Ti owners now

BUSINESS!!!

So funny my rib cage hurts from laughing so much.

Slowly but surely prices are dropping on eBay as new listings gradually undercut existing ones.

I reckon 2080 super will settle on below £400 and 2080ti in the high £400s.

Same here. People are citing only a 20% performance uplift over the 3080 but that doesn’t add up in my eyes, especially if they’ve purposely left a gap for a 3080Ti for a later date.

The two cards would then be stepping on each other’s toes. Genuinely expect the 3090 to be significantly more powerful than people think. No point in it otherwise and it’s a monster of a card size wise.

People are downplaying the 3090 because they have PTSD from how badly they got burnt and destroyed by the 2080ti

Just cant see it looking at the specs on paper. Its the same silicon, its running at the same clock speeds. It just has 20% more of everything.

The only way the 3090 would outperform by more than 20% would be if it boosts to a much much higher clock speed than the 3080.

But that might just get it another 5-10% tops.

Have a few, champ

So many posts in this thread I can't be arshed to look back but I figured somebody would have been close, even though most were expecting 2080/ti levels of pricing silliness (and with good reason!).

Haha Cheers!!

Doubt there is any space.

It's like the 1080 Ti and Titan Xp.

I still think the 3090 is for the small market of people that thought the 2080Ti was worth the asking price.

The 3090 does to the 2080Ti, what the 2080Ti did to the 1080Ti....only better.

It gives a bigger performance jump over the 2080Ti than the 2080Ti gave over the 1080Ti.

It has a smaller price increase over the 2080Ti than the the 2080Ti had over the 1080Ti.

The people who bought into the 2080Ti's generational "progress" should be all over the 3090. It looks like Nvidia tailor-made the 3090 for 2080Ti buyers.

Yep the Titan was only 5% faster at best. They only sold any because people didnt know they were going to drop the 1080ti on everybody. 3090 could be the same trap. Sell as many as you can for 3 months and then drop the 3080ti with 95% of the performance but £300-£400 cheaper.

Aren’t we being a bit harsh on 2080Ti owners with all these comments about “...shoulda sold your card weeks ago” etc.

Was there really any guarantee that the 3000-series would seemingly offer such an improvement? Not really, especially after the damp squib of the 2000-series launch.

Exactly. I'm a 2080ti owner and I can live with this. I've had 2 great years from the card, yeah the hit is bad but I'd rather there be a far superior card to upgrade too and it be cheaper than the opposite of that. **** happens.

I could see some cards with extra vram and better-binned silicon (slightly higher clocks) if AMD bring competition.

 

[HRL]

Yup, a HDMI 2.1 4k 120hz HDR OLED capable TV with instant pixel response time and low input lag with best in class SDR/HDR performance and the best black levels in the tech business with pixel level control.

Virtually the same as the C9 then.

Can’t wait to connect a 3090 to mine at some point soon.

As a 2080ti, I'm actually fine with the upgrade to the 3080. The price delta between the 3080 and 3090 is simply too much to justify and I don't have any use cases where it's benefits will show up long before I upgrade anyway.

Yup

I wish they had an affordable 88'' OLED. Honestly I would have just splashed for that and called it a day.

Yeah.. you already got ripped off once too. Why would you do that to yourself again? HAha just messing.. I got ripped off too last gen..

 

[opethdisciple]

What have the MSI Ventus line up been like in the past?

 

[Poneros]

Avengers @4k Ultra @ 17fps but it's completely meaningless, no one games at 17fps.

Mate, why don't you read all the way through?

However, when we used Ultra Settings/High Textures, our performance skyrocketed to 42fps.

Well in theory the 3090 will be the best silicon, so it’s possible that it could boost higher.

I suppose so long as the cost to swap is not different then it doesnt really matter about how much your 2080ti has lost. yes it would have been ideal to sell a month ago but if the 3080 performance had come out at 2080ti prices, it would have still cost £300-400 for people to upgrade.

Except for the fact they made the 3080 decent enough on paper that there is possibly no reason to splash out the extra on a 3090, save for some edge cases or the need to have the best. Both are perfectly valid reasons in my eyes, but as a previous 2080Ti owner I definitely don't feel compelled to dive in on a 3090, and as I'm currently running a creaking 970 then the 3080 covers my previous performance and then some*.

*unsubstantiated claim

 

[Twinz]

You are counting the same performance twice though.

Lowering settings lightens the load on the frame buffer *and* the GPU. Just adding more vram *and keeping the settings maxed* would not net you the same fps gain because the GPU would have more work to do.
