I was actually surprised that my 2080ti didn't get a S variant in the two years it's been out.

but, with gigabyte. soons they'll make a Ver 2.0 of the PCB, which will be there own design most liikely next year to save costs
Same, I never go into buying anything with that line of thinking.
When I got my 1080ti under a year later the 20xx series released and I didn't give a single care. I just stayed away from reading about it, my games still performed the same as they did before the 20xx series came out and I was still able to play most games on ultra nearly 3 years later. I am in 2 minds about 3080 and the 3090, because of my streaming and my old CPU I might just go for the 3090 and then go from there. I expect them to release cards next year which will be better and maybe cheaper but it doesn't bother me in the slightest, that's the world, that's technology, innovation and evolving constantly and I'm cool with that. The 3090 means I'll not need to get a new GPU I should imagine for another 3 or so years which is perfect and when I do upgrade to another GPU then at least I've got a decent GPU as a spare should something go wrong as I'm thinking about keeping my 1080ti incase I need to RMA or anything.

so much for DLSS being better than native.
Is there a part of the joke that i am missing?
not a joke a rumour, take it with a pinch of salt but might end up being a collectors item.

I'm on a new level, yea I'm on a new level
Solid. Thick. Tight.
Afaik though the extra 2 years are with Zotac in Asia though, which means in case of RMA needing to send it overseas during that period. I haven't gotten confirmation if this has changed yet. I personally plan to go with Gigabyte (more RMA centres in Europe) for the extra hdmi 2.1 input, but also on the low-end of pricing.

I can't see a 3080 20GB GPU being "cost effective", that's surely going to be a £900 part as things stand so not too hard to swallow imho. The real risk is that a 3080 is a limited run that Nvidia move away from but I struggle to see how that would play out in reality they surely wouldn't do that for the 1st year that doesn't feel like the sort of thing Nvidia would do.
No they arent as the FE board is not reference. I am sure EK will be making FE waterblocks but atm the moment they wont be for launch day.

Did Nvidia not say they know their lineup was too complicated and they want to simplify? That one is getting just as ridiculous.

Woah thanks for pointing that out, 2 hdmi ports is massive for me as I run 1 dp into my main monitor, hdmi via receiver to my 2nd monitor and then a 2nd hdmi into my tv setup, so currently I have to switch hdmi everytime I wanna play on the tv, so this would be very convenient, any other cards with 2 hdmi, they're both hdmi 2.1 i assume?
Nope, that was just people speculating. Did you really believe they wouldn't launch a gazillion models covering every space down to the $?
Different chip cuts. And also different memory types. And memory amounts. AKA maximising yields & profits
Some Asus model also have 2x HDMI 2.1 inputs. They're all HDMI 2.1 yes.

Fair enough, I knew I heard/read it somewhere, just couldn't remember where.
To be honest if they used the 3040/50/60/70/80/90 naming scheme properly they could probably drop the Super or Ti tag anyway.

ouhh , accept my apologies mate
anyways, yeahh, rip off by resellers, **** already started
tease us with lower prices and then kill us with higher ones !!!
My gut tells me there's going to be serious shortages of all new gaming hardware until well after Xmas, on the Nvidia side there's going to be insane demand for these cards and I have no idea if Samsung who are doing the fab for the GPUs will be able to keep up. I kinda suspect not. Which will mean supply way below demand and naturally an increase in price, I think we'll see huge price gouging on these for some time.
If you only intend to keep the card 2 years and definitely do a new ugprade on the next cycle then I'd probably shoot for a 3070 if I were in your position. I don't see the power of a 3080 as being needed for 1440p even in a couple of years. But it depends how interested you are in RTX, if you want to mess about with all the new features and get really decent frame rates I'd shoot for a 3080. I can't wait to mess around with RTX but the downside is that it's only in a handful of titles.
The point I made a while back was that vRAM isn't free, to just throw a load more onto a card will increase the price, a lot with GDDR6x. I'd be interested to see if the people that were complaining about only 10Gb on the 3080 if they'll put their money where their mouth is and shell out a load more cash for a similar card with more vRAM. I'm betting most wont.
