Good, because I was thinking of 1440p performance when I said RT performance is only just acceptable today. In a couple of years and you will be turning down the RT to the lower settings.

by then it most likely be 12K

All depends on the resolution you're gaming at. 10GB is definitely fine for 1440P or lower and for next 2 years. Last gen the memory was used better too for some reason, than the generation before it, better compression or something. I remember doing a comparisons in a few games & benchmarks.

Yep also faster 6x memory and also will see how much direct storage comes into play as well?
You guys wanting a 20GB 3080 better watchout! @TNA and the other "10gb is more than enough" fanatics will be this thread with pitchforks soon, as they claim 10GB is fine for 4k for the 3080's 2 year + lifespan!!!
This is despite evidence that Doom Eternal already NEEDS 9GB to run 4k max, and Flightsim 2020 which also needs more than 10GB for smooth operation.
Defend yourselves!

That's my thinking. At least £150 more for the 20GB. Though I keep looking at these 3090s, while I wait for my 3080. I just don't think the RT perf is there for 3+ years of use, hence common sense telling me to stick with the 3080.
Will be a nice upgrade from the 1080Ti and then later from a 3770k(4c8t) to 5900X(12c24t).
Lol. 10gb is enough for me. Can’t speak for others. It plays every game out now fine
How many games that I will want to play will come out between now and the release of hopper (which I will upgrade to) that won’t run at 10gb? Not many, so yeah 10gb is fine for me
Doom Eternal, mega textures, uses just a smidge over 8GB for 4k - https://www.techpowerup.com/review/doom-eternal-benchmark-test-performance-analysis/4.html
FS 2020 is still a bit of a beta product so a poor title to judge ATM. We should see better optimisation and perhaps DirectIO come in to play once it hits the next gen Xbox (what's it called?). May even be smart to wait on AMD's cards due to this.
Yes agree not good. I presume it's because they are afraid of what AMD have and want to get in first.
A paper launch in effect and then also then more VRM because AMD will have more VRM.
What lol
Full RT in AAA games at 60FPS+ (1080p) is still 1-2 generations away.
Also I recommend waiting for benchmark gaming comparisons as you may well find a 5900X doesn't gain much over the others in many games as they don't utilize all cores, generally for gaming you want best single-core performance, it's why I went with the 3600xt instead of the 3800xt/3900xt.
Think about it what's selling in shops right now, Mosty all 4k tv's some less then £300, Depends on market but things keep getting upscaled.
Viewing large areas will consume more VRAM, so AMD may do well here for 4K FS2020/DCS gaming.
Also unless you have inside access judging actual VRAM usage is difficult as games can simply dump everything into the VRAM that they think they may need, even if the textures aren't needed for the current level so load times beyond the initial game start are reduced and do the opposite if the GPU has limited VRAM.
Yeah, anyone who's between 326 and 896 ... I would appreciate it too
For those expecting the 3080 20gb to be £1000 I think you may be surprised.
If big Navi is as good as the rumours are saying (3080 performance, 16gb, would have to be cheaper than the 3080) the 3080 10gb may get a small price cut with the 20gb coming in at $800 or even replacing the $700 price point

Would be nice, but can't see it to be honest.For those expecting the 3080 20gb to be £1000 I think you may be surprised.
