I won't overpay because I'm very stubborn! I won't pay any more than £649 regardless of whose GPU it is. If it is Nvidia I end up going with then it'll be their FE card, direct from them as they don't mess about with the prices unlike OcUK who change by the hour. However, if I have to wait for AMD to release, and their GPU ends up being a lemon, it means I have to go back to looking at Nvidia and the FE will have probably sold out by then and I won't get a Nvidia GPU @ £649 for months!

I like your thinking on price - I am the same! I don't know,its up to you how you proceed! I tend to like to see the cards dealt by both companies,make sure the coolers are OK,and there isn't any teething problems. But then I don't upgrade very often,so a few months here and there,pales in terms of how long I can keep stuff!! :p

I haven't got a clue how to proceed lol. It's a gamble either way. If I just go ahead and buy Nvidia, simply because they are the first out the gate, and AMD come out a couple of months later and beat it soundly, I'll regret it. If I wait to see what AMD offer, and it doesn't turn out to be any good and I missed out on the 3080 for what could be 4-5 months due to price hikes/stock - I'll regret that too :D

I don't tend to upgrade that often, but that depends how long you define as "often". I tend to keep GPU's for 2-3 years.

Well you have a Titan Pascal X,so don't think you are too bad off!! :P

Also,the RTX3080 and RTX3090 core difference is 17% so there is room for an RTX3080TI too! :P

I wish I had a Titan X! Where did you get that from! I'm not that rich!, which is why I'm so tight with my spending lol

Surely if the 3080 has enough headroom it could boost to whatever card Nvidia might fit between the two? :p

Nvidia is just holding back. They did the same with Kepler. The GTX780 used a cut down GK110,and the Titan Black Edition the fully enabled one. Once AMD dropped the R9 290X,they launched the GTX780TI which had the fully enabled GK110!

I guess this time will depend on what yields Nvidia are getting back from Samsung. I mean, if they're that bad, maybe they can't release anything better right now.

Every time there is a new round of GPU releases threads like this become a war zone for people wanting to one up eachother about which brand had the biggest failings.

I know it was started by all the AMD cooler memes but it needs to stop, and for that to happen one side need to start by ignoring the other/

Damn it, I've been rumbled :P

Can people just stop bringing that idiotic statement up every single time? It wasn't even an official AMD marketing line, it was an off-the-cuff statement made during a press conference.

If the mindshare against AMD is really this childish, perhaps AMD should bundle dummies and popsicles with their cards instead.

See I always read that original statement differently: that once again they had over-engineered the board's electronics and die willing it could be overclocked like mad.
And/or that the AiO cooler was OTT.
Of course the die was not willing! Partly because AMD had once again overclocked it out of gate themselves.
 
So who else is trying to figure out AMD's strategy as it relates to the upcoming RDNA2 launch?

Are we going to see more Fortnite style easter eggs or are they going to revert to more traditional teasers and statements?

I know Fortnite is a huge game in terms of the userbase but not everyone plays, let alone in that particular map.

I'm hoping they take the "leaked" benchmark route. If I'm going to wait, I would like to have some way to quantify what I'm waiting for.
 
I think we will hear something ahead of sept 17th, and AMD will leave it as late as they feel they can. If we don't hear anything it means to my mind either they are nowhere near ready and aren't overly bothered about selling any meaningful volumes of dGPUs this year. That could genuinely happen with pressure to produce Zen3 and console APUs

It would be counterproductive to release anything significant before the 17th since it would only give Nvidia the heads up and allow them to adjust pricing, etc before launch. Once the reviews for Ampere are out then I expect some serious leaks and a launch date in mid October.
