At RRP it looks good.

Also merged the wrong way I think?

Chuk_Chuk · 27 Oct 2020 at 15:28

I think when merging it takes into account post times. Seems like they are going to have to unmerge or delete the posts before the post with all the reviews

Equals a 2080Ti give or take a few percent depending on the game. Slightly behind with raytracing on.

Does better in things like Blender.

Does worse in VRAM dependent applications.

Its a good card for its RRP. Personally if I am told something is £469 then I don't pay more.

Pretty sure they wont be anywhere near MSRP for a while though, not unless theres tons of stock, i read yesterday that the largest retailer in china only had like 260 or something delivered... wouldnt surprise me if Nvidia are holding back on 3070/3080 intentionally til they can get the ti variants out the door

Agreed, at RRP it's good value compared what else is on the market this week. Maybe AMD will have something to say about that.

Doubt you will be able to get one at RRP, which is the issue, bait and switch.

don't need Vram can just reduce texture quality 1 notch. £300 would be too much for a used 2080ti

no way you can get used 2080 ti for £300 even if there are millions of 3070s in stock.maybe same time next year they drop to £300.

On par with the 2080ti which I knew it would be this makes it a really good card for the money to be honest...considering the 2080ti is still a big powerhouse.

Someone can handle it then(like the OP of this thread) - it makes zero sense to have the post with almost all of the review links and videos in the middle of the thread,so removed the links. I also checked beforehand and this thread talked about the LTT review alone,so not sure what is happening really. Also I only missed doing it before 2pm,as I had thought the launch was tomorrow!

This is really slack, I for one will be complaining to the relevant authorities via a stern letter.

@Chrisc

Alas it was never meant to be!

Someone decided to nuke it and put the posts right in the middle,so ask the OP kindly if they can add links.

I think my GTX1080 was getting techy so started playing mind tricks on me!!

Definitely doesn't tickle my pickle.

Tom|Nbk · 27 Oct 2020 at 15:42

Just big Navi to go now tomorrow

The real problem for the 2080Ti will be the 3060Ti. When you look at the 2060 super it was very close to the 2070 performance wise and it was possible to get 2060 super`s when on sale for £150 less than the 2070 if that happens this time with 3060Ti and the 3070 it is not looking good for 2080Ti second hand pricing.

NVM. The thread has been resurrected!

All these Gpu releases are pointless until you can actually buy them.

And buy them at realistic prices.

The FE looks like it would be great in a SFF PC btw. Might try to get one for the SFF HTPC I am planning as a Roon server with hopefully the ability to play a bit on my OLED with this perhaps.

That went completely ****up.

This is now the official thread.
