NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

A 1080ti, looking at Nvidias graph it looks about twice as fast but I don't take any notice of 1 slide without any real results yet until Monday.

Oh on average and even with leaks since, it looks like a 3080 will be twice as fast as a 1080ti.

Its a good step up for 1080ti owners.
 
why im still on a 1440p screen, id like a ultrawide or a 4k screen either way but cant do both a new screen and gpu just starts getting too much money for the gains.



on the reddit q and a nvidia did state the 3070 is faster in rt and none rt titles. so if they where lying on that they will get reamed big time by the community, and as its an official post by a engineer i could see someone trying to sue for false advertisement.

This is why I have the pre ordering mentality but seeing as we'll be getting results from Monday, or maybe earlier if they're leaked in more general games.

The 1080ti is perfect for 1440p gaming maxed settings on pretty much anything I throw at it so unless the 3080 does 4k 60 in most games and will do for a year or so then I won't be upgrading.

I feel that's the next step, next resolution bump up for me, waste of time otherwise.

That's what I'm hoping for, don't really want to shell out of I'm still stuck at 1440p but going off their slide it should be twice as fast at least fingers crossed.
 
After using 24gb cards for a couple of years it is very rare to see anything get close to 10gb.

The most I have manged to use on some bench maxed out at 8k was about 16gb, this is not a real life situation.
Tell that to Grim5 and a bunch of others who think 10gb is not enough. Lol.

Yea, I would be very happy with that as the last high end Nvidia GPU I had was a Titan XP which I sold for around the price I bought at £400+. Twice the performance of that card will be awesome.


so how much do you use reckon the 3090 will be than a 2080ti? twice as fast?!?
lol. Not sure if serious :p
 
Agreed, I'm still not sure the 3080 can do it, my 1080ti is struggling in division 2 at 35fps so if the 3080 isn't twice as fast after I've seen reviews on Monday then I'm out again, waste of time and money being on the edge, I was only upgrading for 4k 60fps gaming but it's looking a bit close to the edge on some titles.

My 2080 Ti in The Division 2 averages 60fps at maxed out 4K just about, can dip into the low mid 50s but for the majority of my time 60fps is where it stays. The 3080 should handle TD2 4K ultra with ease. Can see it hitting 100+fps at that resolution.

Hopefully that's the case, is that stock clocks 2080ti?

I was getting around 35-40 at the intro sequence on this amp extreme, did dip sometimes to 30 FPS lol
 
Just a quick question, sorry if it's slightly off topic, having not used dlss before, if I'm getting the 3080 and titles support dlss, would it better to run 4k native or drop to 1440p and enable dlss, I'm a bit confused on the whole dlss feature.

Same goes for Nvidia image sharpening, is that needed with dlss enabled or if your playing at native 4k?
 
Well their graph puts the 3070 just a fraction of a mm above the 2080ti in performance.

Plus they only need one none rt game where the 3070 is faster (at stock speeds) to back up their claim ;)

yeah if nvidia has been a bit dodgy as in its A game and only just beats it then they will get grief.

yeah, i need a new screen as my 2nd ones slowly dying but the investment is just too much for now, may even just chug along with what i have for now and wait for the new year if we get the low stock and silly prices again. the ols trusty 1070's not dead just yet :P

Yeah wait for proper reviews to hit but surely it would be a big jump from a 1080ti ... 2080ti I see it being an improvement also probably about 20-30% maybe?
 
? You can clearly see on that graph the 2080ti is at 3.25 relative perfromance and the 3080 is at 4.5

(4.5-3.25)/3.25 = 38% on average.

And that is at stock and using DLSS and RT in games which support it.

I dont think there is going to be that much headroom in overclocking these 3080 somehow so at max boost for both cards the 2080ti will gain more to you will probably drop to less than 30% faster on average.

For a card that costs £650 compared with £1150 last time then thats a good deal.

Is it worth a 2080ti to sell their £1200 AIB card for £400 and spend £800 on a new AIB 3080 for 30%? Not so sure.

The 3090 looks on paper to be 20% faster than the 3080 so 50% faster than the 2080ti on average.

That looks much more appealing as a step up for a 2080ti owner but the problem there is that they will be spending £1400 on the 3090 after only selling their 2080ti for £400 so its going to cost them a grand for a 50% gain.

To me its liek this for 2080ti owners.

Spend £400 for a 30% gain or spend £1000 for a 50% gain or keep your 2080ti until next year.
I may keep it then. I generally skip a gen but I don't think the 4080 is coming next year mate. Maybe 2023

It seems as if silly prices has already started, just been reading on another thread lol.

Nothing wrong with the 1070, if your happy with it stick with until the uncertainty and possible low stock levels sort themselves out.

It's definitely a big jump for sure, it's whether it's a big enough jump for me to game from 1440p to 4k60 comfortably, it's looking like it should be, but results on Monday will be interesting for sure.
 
That is quite disappointing for Ray Tracing performance.

Here are my Air Cooled RTX Titans in SLI doing Port Royal, I don't think the 3090 will be able to put much of a dent in that so it looks like improved RTX claims are a bit off. Yes the 3090 will be noticeably better at RTX than the 2080 Ti but not as good as some of the hype.

Having said that I think the 3090 (and 3080) are going to be a great cards with big improvements in normal gaming performance.
3080 for me going from Pascal titan under water will be very nice jump in 4K gaming. Since I play like WoW and Doom and some benchmarks thats about it :D
I see 3000 series as great upgrade for us PASCAL people if i had 2080 or 2080ti hmmm not sure id bite :D I would wait for Super/TI versions.
 
so how much do you use reckon the 3090 will be than a 2080ti? twice as fast?!?

In theory it should be around 70% faster than 2080Ti depending on clocks, mem speed differences. 3080 should be around 50%.

Regards to others.

What reviews are available Monday just 3080 or 3090 also? Tempted by the 3080 to keep me going with ease until next gen but only if it’s 50% above Ti level. Can’t really justify 1400 on 3090. Just a little worried about the 10GB vram though be nice to have had more headroom.

yeah it does what i like for the most part but at 1440p it does run it to issues more and more even in older games i cant crank them up to max.

plus newer games with raytracing look soooo shiny :D
 
Just did some testing using SOTTR which is very heavy on memory usage.

Max settings 2160p.

Single RTX Titan memory used.

RTX On, DLSS Off.

RTX On, DLSS Off, RTX Titan SLI.

Points to remember

3090 will not be able to run above settings unless it is using DLSS.

Less memory used when running DLSS which surprised me.
 
Lol, so you saw that graph before and that is how you came to the conclusion that nvidia said 3080 is gonna be twice as fast as a 2080Ti? Haha.

No it is not. When in recent history have we got twice as fast gen on gen anyway? You crack me up sometimes man :p

I love how you dodge all my questions and keep asking more.
thats why i was starting to beleive the hype, especially when ti members were selling up to buy a gpu almost twice as fast
