Jensen certainly loves these purchases, especially multiple ones per person!

Lol
I said that all along. It will be fine until next gen of cards are out, but some were not having it. Had they not took issue with it we would not be going round and round so much

It ain't a problem when thanks to Jensen I was able to sell my 3080 for £1620 to CEX

Oh, I know - think I remember agreeing with you at the time too. I'd have done the same as you if I could have got a 3070 at the time.

20GB MSI 3080 spotted for sale in China - https://videocardz.com/newz/msi-gef...rtedly-on-sale-in-china-for-less-than-600-usd
Poor show MSI, poor show

Weren't they (MSI) the ones in America with side hustle account scalping?
Yes they were. Scalping their own GPUs on fleabay
So every 3080 owner who has chimed in are defending their purchase? Even Tommy has stated that the 3080 @ £650 is a fantastic buy including Matt.
If people paid north of £1+k for a 3080, that is their fault, not nvidias, not AIBs, not retailers, no one held a gun at their head to force them to pay such money.
As many have now pointed out, only 2 people seem to be making a big song and dance of all these supposed vram issues and for the same reasons i.e. matt an amd employee (who back in the day was insisting that 4gb vram was more than enough for 4k even though the competition had more vram....) and a 3090 owner who admitted he wanted a 3080 instead because it was better value.
Why did nvidia stop selling the 3080 12gb model? As per gibbos post and other sources, the 3080 and 3070 have been the best selling gpus.... inb4 "mindshare"
If people are doing such intensive workloads like yourself then that is where a 3090 makes sense (and chances are likes of yourself won't care that those kind of cards are silly money and don't provide value when it comes to gaming), no one is disputing this, you've stated you want as much vram as possible (iirc up to 48GB or even more?) as you could make use of this, do you really think 99.9% of people on here need that kind of vram? Had this thread title/OP been explained a bit more, then of course 10GB wouldn't be enough for such workloads like yours.
Genuine question s please do answer, will you be upgrading to a 4090/ti? If so, why?
Again, you are ignoring what us the owners have stated and there are plenty of reviews out there to show where we are lacking grunt.... in my case, show me a gpu that can do 170+ fps @ 3440x1440 in most games with max settings especially RT even when using dlss quality/balanced.
As it is there are 2 things right now:
- a select couple insisting on there being issues in "multiple" games yet they still can't post anything to show this, anything they have posted has been nuked from orbit... again, why is this so hard to do? Surely if it really was such an issue, all these review sites would be pointing it out as well as all the owners who are in this thread? Again, I have been able to do it very easily with cyberpunk 2077 and several 4-8k texture packs
- people insisting that 3080 owners will be upgrading to the new 40xx in order to get more vram yet again, the actual owners have already stated this is not the case
Obsessed with it? Says the guy who is re-reading this thread and quoting other members to try and backup his agenda
Exactly, Matt even agreed a while back it was coming across like he has an axe to grind when I pointed it out in another thread, will look for the post and link, might even add to the sig as well
Sorry just realised you replied to me here, no I will not be updating to 4000 series, I normally wait now till at least one generation newer has passed from what I own then look again if it is worth updating. So basically I will look at the 5000 series and decide to update or not and if not then normally by the 6000 series there is enough of a gap to update the graphics and the CPU/motherboard too, basically an all new build which is what I have been doing now and reducing the never ending side grades I use to do with PC gear.
If the 5000 series is a good upgrade and CPUs have not moved on enough I may jump on it as a simple update without pulling all the system apart and starting again, but these last few systems I have had I have basically just updated the whole lot once GPUs are worth the update and CPUs have moved on enough to see real benefits.
We will see but the 4000 series is 100% off the table, not investing in two of them again with the same 24GB VRAM, next update must also have more VRAM and the price must be realistic at the time, if not I will be just buying A-Series cards the old Quadros as they were called (past gen or the current gen if prices are sensible), gaming gpus are getting silly money now and as you know I use my pc for gaming but mostly work related is its main focus (with Flight Sims right at number 2
).Dying light 2 is very hungry, showing 14gb vram at 4k max settings with RT on, no idea how much of that is actually in use
I noticed on pcgameshardware.de they said at max settings with RT in Deathloop and performing their stress loop bench they can get cards under 12gb vram to crash half the time

They already been debunked way back in the thread
Completed deathloop a couple months back there, zero crashes.
Yeah but unless Bill confirms it, what you say does not count in this thread

Not a thing, only one game.
Didn't realise 'playing' a stress loop bench was a thing or so much fun. Bit like benching.
Meanwhile, the DL2 results sees a 3080 pulling the pants down on a 6900XT. Sold prices on the auction site - pick up a 3090 for £700
What are 3080's selling for? .........................................£600
OuchyIt's gullible, you should know by now, he believes anything, which suits the agenda, as some would say, another hill to die on Evidence and logic go out the window.
But as mentioned, they have already been done to death and debunked including the crashing in deathloop, perhaps the reason I didn't have any issues is because they were fixed in the second update?

Now that I think of it, I'm surprised that the stuttering with M+K when deathloop first released wasn't insisted on being a vram thing tbh
Maybe Bill should confirm this though as tna said. Careful though, last time you were nearly tarnished as one of "us" Bill for making "blanket" statements
