Nice one dude :)
 
You cannot watch the GN review and conclude that this card really is anything other than a case of: "A fool and their money are easily parted"... :D


Utterly dreadful mis-marketing and atrocious value for any gamer and imo you have to be pretty much out of your mind to buy one of these. :(

I LOLed so hard at that video. It's fantastic :D
 
@deuse you still buying one?

I just watched Hardware Unboxed review, cracked me up at how poor it is vs the 3080 for price for performance. Lol.
 
So the 3090 is 10% better at most. That doesnt really bode well for the 3080 20gb to behonest only the extra 10gb vram making it more future proof but id be happy if i can get my hand on a 3080 10gb for 2 year.

Thank god I could not buy one....
 
Wow, also dismal benchmarks. I think their value graph is inaccurate though... the 2080Ti was supposedly the worse value on the chart including the 3090, and yet on release it was significantly faster than the RTX 2080 at double the price; certainly much faster in relative terms than the piddly performance increase of the 3090 vs the 3080.

When you factor in the outrageous additional size and weight vs a 3080 for such a small performance uplift, then this card is a truly embarrassing release.

Eh? It bodes very well for the 20GB 3080... it will be a far more sensible purchase than the 3090 if you want the extra VRAM. It will have similar performance and VRAM to a 3090 for much less cash... in fact it seems like a no-brainer when compared to buying a 3090 for gaming.
 
Bought a Corsair SF750 in preparation for getting a 3080. Just waiting for more reviews/opinions on its performance in ITX cases.

Though I also wonder whether I'll see a discernible difference (or enough to care) between the 3080 and a PS5 on a TV at ~1.5m or so away if they can both output 4k 60fps.
