they've removed the 3060ti FE from the nvidia site as well

The 3090ti is really for those who want the extra vram/SLI while the 4080 is really a pointless card as the much faster 4090 isnt much more if you are already spending £1200+
I don't see any of the 30 series FE cards on the nvidia store so guessing a mistake and none in. A silly way to make people click the site to see the 4080 and 4090 in stock I'm guessing for people hoping for a 30 series and the AIB 30 series on their are just all silly if in stock and even more than MSRP by over double in some cases if not more..
I’m toying with selling my 3080fe and buying the 4080fe as I think it will be the final purchase for my rigs lifespan and also I play on a lg c2 48” oled with hdmi 2.1 and 120hz so the card should max the tv out or close to it in 4K plus the 3080 should fetch £500ish. Well this is how I’m justifying it to myself anyway the specifics may not be completely or at all accurate but hey ho.

I've just done the same, replacing a 3080 with a 4080 as the 3080 was being stretched a little to far for my liking and the 4080 offered a decent jump in performance, especially minimum lows. However the 3080 is taking it's time to shift, I've got it advertised well below £500 and am only now getting some interest.
A 4080 is probably the worse card you can buy in the current market and traditionally the level of performance it offers in relation to the top card has been available for 500 quid. Imagine paying £1200 for a 1070ti or 3070ti as that's basically the level of performance that you got in relation to a 102 tier card of previous generations infact a 1070ti is closer to a 1080ti than a 4080 is to a 4090.
Yep. That's why their stock is piling up. Only people that go yolo or in dire need of a card consider it.
It is a turd of a card. And yes before someone points out the obvious again, not referring to the physical card which in itself is very good. End of the day as far as I am concerned price is a huge factor in what makes a card great or a turd. The 4080 is a turd in my book, alongside the 7900 XT and XTX. Turds all round this gen.
Open goal and AMD scores an own goal with such idiotic pricing

Luckily I play at 1440p and still happy with the 3080fe but I do like the performance uplift of the 4080 but refuse to pay literally double what I paid for the 3080fe find it insulting
Can understand people who play at 4K and seem desperate hopefully it's just the small majority or I feel it's letting Nvidia getting away with it
I'll hold out next gen hopefully something in the £700 range will be worth the uplift from the 3080
if not I'll be looking at the used market

what resolution do you play at and what games ? also what psu you using ? It may be a turd if your paying full price but if you have a card to sell then surely its performance is worth the £700 bracket ? Yes i could extend the budget and go 4090 but then my 5800x will no doubt bottleneck the card and im sure my psu would then need changing so this is why i said the 4080 would be a good fit and see the machine out.
I cap the power on my 3080FE to 65%, I only really play WZ and World of Warships, capped at 140fps with all the bells turned on, if things get slower as time goes on I'll run it back at 100% if needed, until then I'm good with a 3080 for what I do.

You should be looking at the 4090 if you're willing to spend that kind of cash.
That's the one I'll go to, but not for a while it would seem. 4080 from a 3080 = nowhere near enough performance uplift for money spent

Hi. Play on a 2560x1440 144 hz gsync monitor so high framerates are wanted. Also 4k 60hz tv so lots of gfx card umph required and also VR on valve index so high res and high frames needed.
Going to the 4080 i can now max out witcher 3 on 4k with rt and using FG get a rock solid 60fps at 4K which is fabulous (for me).
It made a huge difference in VR too, much higher consistent refresh rates and allowing higher super sampling.
Half life alyx now at 120hz @ 150% SS is a smooth joyous experience now.
The 3080 was n where near this performance.
I'm not saying it is great value for money , but I'd accepted.
I run an 850watt power and pair the GPU with an 5800x3d which was used with the 3080 previously and for me the real world uplift in performance is great. In some cases the min low of a 4080 is better than the max fps of a 3080, which is the kind of performance gain like.
The fact that you need to use RT and FG just to get 60fps in and old game says it all about the 4080.
The 4080 offers around a 48% uplift over a 3080 while a 4090 is closer to 100% for not all that much more money.
Because Nvidia purposely didn't give the 3000 series FG because then how would they have hoped to sell the 4000 series.
Also the 3080 was 70% faster than the 2080 yet 2 years on you're saying that its performance is not enough and yet the 4080 being just a further 48% faster and only just hitting 60fps now with FG, how do you think that will look in 2 years or do you plan to upgrade again?

I don't care . You do you. I was asked for my experience and provided it, I'm not going to be drawn into such nonsense.
The only thing wrong with the 4080 is the MSRP, maybe you should get yourself a bgrade bargain
You could say that about any GPU but is a +48% performance boost over the 3080 good enough when we saw what the 4090 delivered against the 3090 on this new N4 node.The only thing wrong with the 4080 is the MSRP, maybe you should get yourself a bgrade bargain
So Nv's input works then?
Get a hold of an old title.
Absolutely destroy the performance after you 'help' integrate RT'ing.
DLSS2 you say, that's of no use now.
Needs DLSS 3
Wait a minute Nv, the 4080 is almost double my 3080 FE cost.
But it's a lot slower than a 4090, the 3080 was just a bit slower than a 3090, what happened there?
Stuff it, I'll take a 4090 thanks.
Or almost works, I sent the 4090 back and will live with the 3080 a bit longer.

Something like that except I kept my 4090 lol
