So Jayztwocents already has an EVGA 12 pin modular cable. Wonder if the PSU companies will start bundling these in or will they always be an add on order? I need a new PSU but now got to consider which PSUs the cable will be available for.

He also said the EVGA one will fit any EVGA power supply no matter what the wattage is, which is good.

It won't be a flop for me. I am coming from a 1080ti. I Skipped the 2080ti.

I should technically be blown away because of this. My 1080ti is sold. I can't lose :D

I sold my 2070S for this. So similar.

Still slightly umming and arring scrapping it all for a series X but I can't tell which way I'll regret.
 
As an aside I'm of the opinion that talk about VRAM is a challenge to developers, how efficient can you make things? Definitely you could do at least 1440p with 2096px textures, and likely higher.
Distanced based geometry is similar, yet at least 20 in use?

By the way, Jay from Jay2Cents said that the inside of the box for the founders edition smells like Jensen's leather jacket.

Another interesting quote from a tech tuber: On the announcement livestream, Joker from Joker Productions actually said "just announce the 3090 already so I can bend over and you can stick it right up my ass"

You don’t try making things efficient by offering more VRAM though? I believe there’s a lot to be said for the bloat that some games use... having more is going to lead to laziness.

Would be hilarious if someone at NV actually came out and said yep we did that on purpose we wanted it to smell that way....

Anyone got the link to the EVGA 12 pin power connector? Saw it in the jayz2 video but i can't see any info on it on their website... or when it will be available?

Not nearly enough for it to be excessive in the first place. Not sure efficiency will ever really factor into game development given limited funds & time & high demands. But no reason to kid ourselves, we'll just get the console versions, same as always, with the bare minimum of settings changes for PC. "Luckily" it looks like the Series S will hold things back quite a bit still.
