As someone with a 1080ti, I'm waiting.

I won't be paying £700+ for a 3080 with big navi so close. I think those overclockers prices could be creeping back down tbh.

I think they said the Power Slider in AB is 115% Max, they need make it at least 120% to get 2050-2100mhz Core and if it really runs 61-72C (not even a really high fan RPM) there is headroom.

 

[Poneros]

Can it underclock like Vega 64 and gain performance though which i highly doubt as these seem to be pushed within an inch of there life.

The main upside to these cards is the 4k performance which has increased over the 2080ti by around 30% with a huge price drop for the performance.

I'm waiting to see the same thing, but only way to tweak voltage is through OC scanner which hasn't been updated yet supposedly. I guess we'll find out in a week or two.

they need to, £650 isnt a bad price. Any more i dont think its worth it.

yea, much beyond 650 is getting a bit sour.

If I can get an FE I'll probably jump. Not a chance on the AIB prices. Unless Nvidia and AMD can get a grip on pricing. Watch those Ps5 sales go through the roof.

I think that the fact people are comparing this card to the 2080Ti shows just how powerful it is. It isn't the 2080Ti competitor though that's the 3090, this cards competition and comparison should be the similarly priced 2080 Super, which it blows out of the water.

When the RTX3090 is released what are you going to be comparing that to if you think the 2080Ti competition is the 3080 ?

After seeing the power draw, I think i'll pass

Not a thorough review but JackFrags got a 3080.

I'm coming from a 980TI, anything is going to blow me away

At least you'll have a PSU to power it as the 980Ti was a power hog too

 

[RavenXXX2]

Just OC the 2080ti, from the GN review the 3080 is not all that. And the power draw on 8nm damn....

 

[Techen]

30% faster than my 2080 super at 1440p, I'll pass nvidia. Thanks

 

[Blackjack Davy]

What I took from the reviews was 2080 or less and/or 4K its probably worth the upgrade but for 2080ti owners its minimal gains (18-25% gains at < 4K)

Think I'll pass on this one.

Near end of DigitalFoundry Video.

Power usage to do that certain frame.

 

[scubes]

I bet all of the 2080ti ate not happy how.

 

[Boot_Loop]

1440p results are shocking, average increase compared to 2080 Ti is 15-25% from the reviews I have seen. Also, the RT performance gains are tiny. I expected all this though, I could see right through Nvidia marketing.

EDIT: Gets worse - very small overclocking headroom. But then who would want to with 350W power draw at stock.

 

[JohnG7]

Good for price, but not much gain over 2x age/price 2080Ti apart from some 4k, not so much 1440p.

 

[Troezar]

Looks a decent upgrade for 1080Ti 4K users. The Hardware Unboxed review seems quite fair. Value per frame on par with a 5700XT. Better than I expected but not great if you're coming from a 2080Ti.

Definitely gives AMD a shot at being competitive...
