Brought a Evga 2080 Super today and will enter the step up program for a 3080 FTW3 Ultra when it turns up tomorrow. Nephews getting my old 1080 to replace his 1070 that's on its last legs and I didn't want to keep him waiting for months while I was waiting for the 3080 stock to come in. Was originally after the FE but I don't believe that will be in stock often and I can't be bothered to keep checking.
Wow amazing got to get one 10 frames more than a 3080 for just £700 moreLoad damn you! Load!
You get 10 more frames, a 50% bigger card, 1KG heavier and 70w more power draw. You get a lot of things for double the money of a 3080... just nothing that you ideally want.

Elaborate. In detail please. So far everyone just says things but never backs it up.Tweaking textures down at 4K is never smart, so that's why it's maybe not enough.
What details (no pun intended)? If you nuke your texture quality & model lod then what benefits are you really going to see at 4K? If you're not making use of that 4K crispness and millions of pixel precisely so that you can show finer details then you might as well drop the res & upsample and get the same smudged effect. Feel free to test this on your own 4K monitor. Particularly as it relates to TAA heavy games.
If you're talking about the games that use >10 GB I have none to add for vanilla 4K atm. That's why the focus is on future games, not cross-gen. For further detail you can stalk the "is 10 GB enough" thread, I made posts there (and here as well) and don't feel like repeating myself.
Ah ok, basically what I thought. 10gb will be fine until hopper arrives
The Hardware Canucks review echoes exactly what I was posting... even down to the corrected value graph vs the 2080 Ti which Hardware Unboxed got REALLY wrong. It shows the 3090 is the worst value "gaming" card Nvidia has ever released.
Conclusion? No gamer in their right mind should buy this. I would even go as far as to say anyone buying this should first be a bit embarassed for having given in to FOMO, which was fuelled by some merciless hypemongering and not even allowing reviews to be published before launch. Then, buyers should be angry for basically being fooled by some major misadvertisement, saying this is a gamers card and then selling it as such under the Geforce brand.
The 2080Ti was a value champ compared to this monstrosity. Nvidia have fleeced consumers in a way they have never done before... completely shameless.

I actually like that part
I do more than gaming mate. It was going into a workstation. That VRAM over the old Titan V for that price is solid!
That was truly evil, **** NVidia.
don't be jealous

Is a 1000w psu enough for an rtx3090?
It's twice as fast as the Titan RTX and any productivity software, check reviews
