I wouldn't call it a waste, not a huge price jump over the 3070 for more speed and 2GB more vram. For games like Cyberpunk I think it will help a lot which matters with a high hz screen
seems odd to me thatAccording to this the power limit for AIB 3080s is 350w with the founders cards being 370w
.
8GB Vram is fine for 1440P and £300 is quite a large increase bearing in mind the guy will need a new PSU also, Its a 60% price increase for at most 25% performance and it could be as little as 0% performance if your frame capped at 120HZ.
Basically both the cards are maxed out already.
also not too much hope of a 3080 ti outperfoming 3080 in large margins as previous lines?
I'm talking about future games, RDR2 just barely manages 60fps maxed out with a 2080Ti at 4k. That bright memory benchmark has 41fps minimums at 1440p with a 3080 (though maybe an extreme example right now) but you can see where things are going.
Nope as the extra VRAM will increase power and also the 3090 isn't to far up the road in terms of performance.
Overclocking is not as it used to be. OCUK should be renamed to Slightly Tweak UK
LOL They aren't going to OC like champs, if they OC at all. Just look at the cooling solutions at stock! They are clearly seriously struggling to shift the heat as it is. I've never seen so much cooling on stock cards. 3 and 4!! slot 320mm plus cards not even at the highest end. They wont overclock at all. They are already maxed out.
We've seen chunky AIBs before, nothing new. Also, the FE cooler seemed to cope pretty well in the FLIR test that was leaked.
If that is the case then good luck to all the 4K owners thinking the 3080 is the 2nd coming of the messiah.
Think so. They tend to have periods out of stock however. I'm expecting this to happen fairly quickly on release but we'll see. If the 3090's are plentiful it'll make me think there's something better coming later.How long do NV produce the Founders for? literally till EOL?
Probs a stupid question
Dude, the back plates have vast cutouts on them to try and cope with the extra heat. Look at the power draw specs on these things. It's not daft to look at that and come to sensible and obvious conclusions. There will not be much of any OC headroom on these cards. 100%
