Do you really think anyone who didnt mind paying £1200+ for a 2080ti really cares about the card losing 50% of the value over a couple of years?
I think we are way too far down that road now and these prices/price tiers are here to stay. As much as i like AMD they aren't going to put bargain basement prices on their GPU's vs Nvidia's same tier card pricing.
Looks like it yes..
Yup. AMD here to make money too.
If NVIDIA had DLSS support on more games which were demanding, I'd have a bit more faith in them.
Anyone know why NVIDIA didn't work with developers to get demanding games like RDR2 and HZD some form of DLSS support?

But what about all the money we gave to Nvidia, which they spent on developing the 3000 series you're probably going to buy. Not to mention the benefit to UK retailers like OCUK.

I think people who have bought one in the past few months would probably be a bit sore, but not from 2 years ago.

Lol. So you pick the two biggest games as an example but majority of games are much smaller. And you would have 650gb left for those
Yea, I keep forgetting that some people still have slow connections. I am on 108mb and could have 10x that speed if I was happy to pay for it. Also I only play a handful of games at a time so even if all were huge like you say, it would still fit 1tb. Once I have completed said game or had enough I delete and worse case can leave pc to download overnight the next game that takes my fancy. But truth be told I would have dozens of games installed to fill 1tb as huge games like the examples you give are not common. Most are 5-30gb range.
Cod is 200GB alone
.I have a 1TB and a 512GB but still I could easily take that up with 10 big games or so especially when they will only get bigger.
I easily move between several games at once and often go back and play games I haven’t been on for a while.
I mean it is a great idea but I can easily see most future AAA titles being over 100GB. I guess it depends which games take advantage of it. If it’s only future AAA titles then perhaps minimal storage is required until it takes off and said games build up at which storage may become much cheaper.

I know about direct storage.
The data goes straight to the GPU memory.
That's why I'm buying the 3090
3080 will support it too, and NVIDIA said even 2000 series, which is nice - will speed up adoption!
NVME cost dropped a lot, plus games will support "install" (as in copy) from slower but bigger HDD to prime game for usage, at even 100 MB/sec it will take less than an hour to "install" even 200 GB game, less for faster 7200 RPM, so what's the problem IF this fuctionality results in much more detailed games? Best news really for the gaming industry - would take that instead of ray tracing but we get both!
