Actually as you say that I immediately pictured one model and one model only: the legendary 290x lightning. This is what an Ampere Tsar card should be.

That card was something really good as well. Was one of the only models that could take it to the 780ti in Firestrike. Some getting to 1350 mhz if i remember correctly. Msi don't seem to really care much about AMD these days.

My thoughts at the moment
Those of you who panic sold the 2080ti so u can get the 3080 think u going to loose the most.
3080 going to be limited stock for months prices will increase like the 2080 ti at release.
this will drive the price of 2080ti back up.
3080 is going to run too hot and throttle and have very little headroom
not sure about the ddr6x ddr6 was a total space invader to start with. Be great if there is no problems but I won’t bet money on it.
what games are actually coming out this year or next that are going to raise that next gen bar only thing I’m excited about is cyberpunk 2077.
thinking we are going to get some shocks when the reviews drops.
I do hope they drop a 12gb ddr6x 3080ti but can’t see it happening

Are you sure? Toms hardware review from a google search says vega 64 cards would pull 400w from a mild overclock

FE at least has only slightly more TDP (on paper) than the MSI 2080Ti Gaming X Trio, and that was absolutely fine.
I think you might be right to some degree. It won't be as good as has been made out. It can't be.
If you have a TV with eARC and LPCM then you just need one HDMI 2.1 port into the TV, that's what I'm doing anyway
Am mainly waiting to see how fast the 3090 is vs the 3080 to see what you get for over twice the price
Looks like the much cheaper £649 Asus TUF 3080 also has 2x HDMI ports

Hope to grab a 3080 when they go up, just not sure on EVGA or Zotac, usually always go EVGA cause they allow cooler removal (or used to anyway) but warranty on Zotac looks good
Displayport 1.4 doesn't match HDMI 2.1 specs, you'd be sacrificing either audio or image. HDMI 2.1 allows 8k 60fps 4:4:4 10 bit HDR and eARC (with Dolby Atmos) - while Displayport 1.4 cannot match that output.
Do you have 2x 2.1 screen though only 1 that really needs it is lgs oled ?

Anyone think the 3080 is over the top for gaming at 1440p (16:9)? I'm starting to wonder if I should just get the 3070 for my needs...

For current games? Possibly. For future and upcoming RTX games? Probably about right! Depends on how long you're planning for it to last tbh.

I wil likely skip 40xx and buy again at 50xx. I usually buy every other gen.

If you're gaming at 60Hz then yeah, it's overkill. However, if you're aiming for 100Hz or higher then (imo) it's definitely not overkill.

I asked the same question a few pages back, and was basically told that there is no such thing as over the top / overkill. It will be nice to run 144/165 1440p stable with all the graphics options maxed rather than having to mess about with dropping options to claw back some FPS.
