Has anyone made a poll thread yet for which GPU members on here are thinking of buying out the 3070, 3080, & 3090 ?

I myself have no idea how to make a poll thread :o:p
 
To make a poll thread you start a new thread with the question and poll choices. Then a moderator turns it into a poll.

You may wish to add 3060 and 3050 to the poll as well.

Also some people are waiting for a mythical 3080 Ti
 
Very tempted to swap out my 1080Ti FTW3 for a 3090, but not sure I could cope with the heat. So I'll probably opt for a 3080 FE as I like the cooler's thermal design, but only once I have seen what AMD have to offer.

I feel they gave no real upgrade option for 1080ti owners :(

1070/2070 > 3070
1080/2080 > 3080
1080ti/2080ti > ????
Titan/ RTX Titan > 3090

How is the 3080 not a viable upgrade from a 1080Ti? Roughly 80% faster from initial benchmarks and, if you can get around £200 for the old card, a £450 upgrade.

That said I'm on the fence right now whether to upgrade mine to a 3080 or sit tight for a while and hope for a Ti/Super/16GB/20GB model.

I would never class buying a GPU with less Vram equals an Upgrade

Every GPU i up graded too in over 24 years of upgrading has had more Vram

Ridiculously over-simplistic.

If the card is 80% faster overally and the 1GB reduction in VRAM ends up making no difference in any actual game then it's a significant upgrade.

Your argument is like saying a Ferrari isn't an upgrade to a Audi TT because it has a smaller glovebox.
 
I was debating the 3090 until I realised I would be just as well getting a 3080 and then a 4080 for the same price.

Plus I’m pretty sure 10 GB VRAM will last me on 1440 ultra wide as that’s only about half the pixels of 4K.
