That makes sense, I think I'd do the same. Give yourself a little bit more headroom.
Yea just wish the psu prices were abit better at the moment
I have a 2080Ti and knew these cards would be killer, but decided to keep on to it till I buy my 3080/3090. I can’t be doing without a GPU for months and ultimately decided to take the financial hit.
Probably regret it down the line, but at least I can still enjoy games for now..

I think Nvidia punched *hard* with the 3000 launch, hoping to stave off AMD, but if AMD beats the 3080, Nvidia will not wait 12 or even 10 months. Even if they have to paper-launch and drip-feed an improved version of the 3080 while they wait for yields to catch up, they will do *something*.
Could you not have bought a temporary solution from MM for a month like a cheap gtx 1070 or something?

Shame the 3080 doesn't have a bit more VRAM to make people more comfortable with ordering it. Though it may not matter as much at 1440p and below ultra settings, really not sure but in any case it seems to be cutting it close even according to that ID software guy.. hmm
Yeah even 12GB I wouldn't think twice as it is I'm like hmmm. (Even though I probably won't hit the limits of 10GB before I upgrade next - but coming from an 8GB GPU it seems short sighted).
So, what ever happened to new driver ui, nvcache and diss 3.0?
One of them was there, it was just Nvidia RTX IO rather than Nvcache... same idea as was mooted, different name.
I suppose there is still time to show a new UI, wouldn’t necessarily have to coincide with GPU launch. One thing for sure is that they could really do with a modernised UI overhaul.
DLSS only got a 2.1 not a 3.0, so that one is definitely MIA.

In case someone wanted one looks like some are ready

I thought NVCache would be more like HBCC. RTX IO is essential DirectStorage or whatever it is called from Microsoft.
Maybe, my 2080Ti has custom air coolers on too. I just couldn’t be bothered with the hassle this time, I did it last time with my 1080 and 1080tis during the price fluctuations.

Well I mean NVcache never actually existed other than as a rumour from MLID who is the source all others quoted. Whether he made it up or does have a source who told him something is up for debate! Some seemed to infer a HBCC equivalence but quoting from mlid’s video he doesn’t say it works like HBCC, he says it’s Nvidia's answer to HBCC:
RTX IO leverages your SSD for enhanced load times and more efficient VRAM usage... it’s more or less what he said (not sure there’s any ddr component, but they describe it as a “suite” so potentially there are details to learn yet as to how it works in reality outside of a very high level overview we got).
And yes, it does appear to be their implementation of MS’ direct storage API... although conceptually closer to MS’ whole “velocity architecture” imo than just the direct storage API as it also features the hardware accelerated decompression which is an important factor in its potential usefulness. Overall it fits the “NVcache” rumour pretty well, albeit by a different name. So that’s the answer to your question of what happened to it.

His sources, at least from the videos I've watched that have been posted here - I've not really followed him, are complete BS - don't think they got even one thing right.
Nvidia has provided some extra details today on the 3000.
The RTX3080 typically draws 310-320w power at load, in Nvidia tests the card settles at 80c with a fan noise of 32db
Ive seen people wanting to buy a 3080/3090 and have a 4790k, I mean like what the ****

That's a bit toasty, is that with the stock cooling?
