Linus was creaming himself playing Doom at 8k nightmare settings, I'm sure the 3080 can do that too, the 3090 was lagging in bits though.

It's impressive seeing it but it was at unshown predetermined Nvidia settings and it definitely stuttered a reasonable amount.

He was creaming himself at the size of it, probably thinking where he can shove it later.

10GB VRAM says no!

There's a good reason the 20GB 3080 is coming

(for the millions of us with $30k 8k tv's)

Well I don't need to game at 8k since I won't own such a TV for years to come. At 4k 10gb is fine despite what people say.

It's just flat out not worth it.

Literally the same here... I was so eager to get a 3090, however the past 24 hours have put doubt on that. With Cyberpunk using DLSS 2.0, I can't see any reason to move from my heavily OC'd 2080 ti which is also in a custom loop...

I think I'll wait until after Christmas and see what's what. Budget was never an issue, but buying into something that's clearly marketed this badly is just stupid.

Do you think the scalpers will try to bag them all i mean they are already overpriced i can't see anybody willing to pay 2 grand for one if you do you need your head seeing to.

I imagine the 3070 will be the one the scalpers are really after.

JayzTwoCents has just teased a 3090.

If that were the case, why are they releasing a 20GB 3080? For fun?

This has been a real learning curve for me, so I've seen a few mentions that the 3090 isn't even the fully unlocked chip? What exactly does that mean? That we have to wait for a ti/titan for the fully unlocked version? If this is the case in previous gen launches does this equate to a big difference?

This is a 3080 below with how many parts of the chip disabled or were faulty and binned as a 3080. :-

Now this tells us this is not the Titan as a Titan always has the full blown chip with nothing disabled, also there is already signs a 48GB RTX Titan is coming out.

Now people saying a 3080Ti or they may just call it a Super is coming too and not branded as a 3080Ti this time because not enough more parts to enable to make it worth selling a 3080Ti and basically killing sales of the 3090 and 3090 super/Ti or a 3080Ti will come out but it just won't be the usual % increase we got with previous Ti models in the past. There will probably be a 3090Ti or Super too just by enabling the full chip like a Titan and still having 24GB.

More info here too regarding the Ampere Architecture :-

When i am looking at my 2080 Ti Aorus Waterforce and thinking that it will be exchanged with some AIB 3090 i am start crying. So maybe stay with 2080 ti?

if I was in your shoes, I would not even bother with 30 series..I would skipp it completely and wait for 40 series or whatever comes next. only reason im upgrading is because i'm still on a 10 series card. i skped 20 series because it was not worth it.

There's a pricing gap in the lineup between the 3090 and 3080 they're no doubt eager to fill, that's why. And that alone will make some people go for it.

There has been no confirmation they will have a 20GB 3080. It was just one of a number of skews on a list that was then pulled.

i hate scalpers some bloke on Ebay had two 3080's and a PS5 preorder up for auction they ruin it for everybody.

Are the 2x8 pin 3090s really that bad? I was looking at the zotac.

I'm trying for the FE version.

Did I just imagine the original Titan (GK110), and the Titan X (GP102-400-A1)?

They were both partially disabled chips that were later replaced with fully unlocked versions, the Titan Black (full GK110) and Titan Xp (GP102-450-A1) respectively.
