Any reviews / benchmarks of the 3080 founder (or others) overclock potential?

Also GPU scores for firestrike,timespy andtimespy extreme. All seems to just be leaks that I can find and/or possibly fake

For referece an overclocked 2080ti scores the following

Firestrike -35k
Timespy - 16k
Timespy extreme - 7.5k

Exactly, it's looking more meh by the day, At least for Turing users.

I mean 79 to 97 in SOTTR is hardly next gen as far I'm concerned, it's barely 20%

Sure if the 3080 was priced around the same as the 2080Ti it wouldn't be worth the upgrade.. But it's not.

Going by the same game, 2070S 59 to 97 fps is a nice increase for a card (at current value) around 100-150 more for the 3080

Or even the 2080 S which at it's lowest price is more than the 3080 -- 65 to 97.

I’m hoping for decent 3070 performance in Flight Sim, my current 2070S is good at 1440p but when the complex addons come it may slow down a lot.

Hopefully the game will continue to be optimised and then a proper decision can be made as to whether it will benefit from a faster graphics card. Might be able to sell the 2070 for about half the price of the 3070. Time will tell.

So if I'm reading this correctly a 2080ti can just muster 60fps in SOTTR and is nowhere near twice as fast as a 1080ti it's only 18fps going by that logic the 3080 may not be twice as fast as a 1080ti after all making next years titles probably struggle in 4k even with the 3080 lol.

Waiting for Monday but I think I'm out again.
Will only upgrade again at a reasonable cost when I can game at 4k with some power spare, after all it's what they are promising with the new consoles.

Yeah I get that but I think everyman an this dog knows Nvidia was just being far to greedy with the 2080ti because there was no competition.

I mean how do you go from almost double the price from the 1080ti to the 2080ti.

I don't really take that into consideration because it was just priced ridiculously high because Nvidia is greedy and they need to keep their shareholders happy.

Yeah that's the same way I see it, the 2080 and 2080s were so bad for their price. There was nothing decent for me to upgrade from a Vega 56 for decent gains (was meant to be a cheap stop gap card as Turing was so disappointing I didn't want a 6gb 2060 and then Navi 1 was also disappointing) now with the 3070/3080 I have a good upgrade path.

60-80% over a 2080 looks great too me, 2080ti should be compared to the 3090 as it's in the same price range.

These are starting to look more disappointing by the day.
So it seems the 3080 is around 20% faster than a 2080ti then. So the 3070 will probably be around 20% slower than the 2080ti.
People selling their cards off cheap perhaps need a rethink..
At the moment I'd happily take a 2080ti for around £500.

Just had a look at the Firestrike Ultra scores. Assuming those numbers are accurate, at least the gap is bigger than 2070S to 2080Ti (at 4K which is what I game at) and people were paying like £700 or more for that extra performance. I will be getting the whole card for cheaper. Glad I skipped turing :D

Got to love what the put the source as at the bottom of the page :D


So in games, it looks to be essentially ~50% faster than a 2080S and ~25-30% faster than a 2080Ti

35.6% faster than a 2080ti in Firestrike Extreme
36.2% faster than a 2080ti in Timespy Extreme

Looks good to me and what you'd hope for given advancements in technology and a smaller process node. The games show a little less gains but it's a very small sample size at this stage.

33.3% faster Tomb Raider 4K
22.6% taster Tomb Raider 4K DLSS
22.7% faster FarCry 4K

I recon on newer released games the gap will start to get bigger too.

Yeah I get that, so now a 1080Ti to 3080 for the same launch price is what? 50-60%+ improvement on avg..Not to mention the 9Gbps faster ram speed. Plus the fact of being able to do RT and DLSS which is impossible on Pascal..

Everyone knows that Turing was a testing/early adopters gen for RT/DLSS etc

I personally purchased a 2070 Super in May as I needed a new PC (didn't have one previously) Knowing that Ampere was soon I went for what I knew would get me adequate frames till the release, I was half expecting to have to spend £800+ and am pleasantly surprised with the £650 price tag and the massive performance boost I'll get.

One thing i'm wondering is will there be an increase in performance when the new drivers are released on the 17th. So the current benchmarks are using only the current available drives on a 3080 or 3090. If i'm wrong and that's not the case and they are using the drivers that are'nt available yet then its a tad disappointing.

For me currently i have a 2060 so going to 3080 ill see a great performance increase. Just wondering if I should go for the 3090 but at over double the price it seems expensive to me although I have the money available. :confused:

Will have to wait until Monday but for me I just don't think there is enough of a bump over the 3080 to warrant the extra cost. I would like to see an extra 30- 40 % over the 80 class like we had with 1080ti/2080ti

Well I am expecting at least +80 +90 % of the 1080ti if it isn't then it's disappointing to say to the least considering this card is 3/ 1/12 years, I mean damn other than RT and dlss what's happened over the last 3 years, not a lot by the looks of it.

The way I see it now is they've now released a card comparable to a 2080ti maybe a little faster at a price it should have been in the first place re 2080ti.

I understand people have different GPUs and upgrade at different times but it's still looking hard to get rid of my 1080ti tbh.

You mean when the new drivers come out which start and decrease the performance of the 2080ti and earlier generations?
