OcUK Ampere RTX3000 series review thread

[Smffy]

Haven’t had chance to watch them yet but am I missing something when they have a (variable) jump over the 2080ti it’s terrible news? Even though it’s half the cash... ?

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

Isn't this a case of CPU limitation tho? At 4k CPU less of an impact. Need better CPU's to keep up with the pace at lower resolutions .

Is it just 3080 reviews today? Bit stupid IMO, why not the entire new range or at least the 3090 too given how close to the launch of that

 

[Destination]

So, I guess people who are disappointed in the 3080 expect AMD to be faster then?

I'll be utterly amazed if they can be, they will have to double the ability of their flagship to compete, and that's against the 3080, not even the 3090 which is yet to come.

It's more to do with 2080tis owner having no upgrade path for 1440p now unless you spend 1500 big ones

No but it should have never been compare to the 2080Ti but the 2080 (Jensen is to blame for that)

It seems to be 20-30% faster than a 2080Ti at 4k, depending on the game, rasterization etc.

 

[scubes]

How much faster will the 3090 be remains to be seen.

 

[Smffy]

It seems to be 25-30% faster than a 2080Ti at 4k.

yeah which is good plus price point is near enough half! I’m debating a pair of 3090s to complete a build... Two becuase it’s a massive build.

 

[JohnG7]

How much faster will the 3090 be remains to be seen.

Hope it has more Power Limit than 115% Max.

 

[scubes]

I was hoping the 3090 woulda been a 4K 120fps can’t see it now .

 

[Smffy]

P.s any ultrawide headlines before I get some time to watch?

 

[Joxeon]

How much faster will the 3090 be remains to be seen.

Probably another 10% on top I would imagen.

 

[JohnG7]

No as 2x GPU and UW is a small niche.

 

[JohnG7]

Probably another 10% on top I would imagen.

Hope not due to the 33% more cooling and fact its nearly 2x price lol.

3080 runs cool though but hits Power Limit.

 

[Nick1881]

From my 2070S it still looks like a good option.

 

[JohnG7]

I could just sit on 1440p with my Titan Xp (2017) and play my quite big backlog of games and wait on 4000 series and whatever Intel Mobo/CPU is top then.

Though it may cost less to upgrade now as my card will be worth even less later.

 

[VincentHanna]

3090 offering just an extra 10% uplift over 3080 for literally double the price would be very disappointing.

 

[elrasho]

Twice as fast as my 1080Ti at 1440p. Don't need one though as there's no games I play that need this kind of graphical capability.

 

[JohnG7]

FarCry 4 is like 70-90FPS with all settings full inc NV Exclusive settings in game @ 1440p (does hit 105-120FPS in parts) but this is LCD so the high HZ panels are to try get same smoothness,motion and low input as CRT could do at 60-85HZ.

So on that note I suppose it would be better if doubled.

i dont really care for AMD to compete right at the very top. the 3090 or £1000+ bracket is for the 0.1% so long as they're competitive mid/highish ill be happy.
