If you have the option to buy either an RTX3080 for £680 or an RTX3080 Ti for £850 (both FE brand new) ,which one is in your opinion a better buy at this moment? (price/performance value wise)
can't wait for 2-3 more months.
I bought a 3080 at launch for £650 so for a now 2 year old card I wouldn't say £680 is a good price nor would I say £850 for a 3080ti is good either. AMD are announcing their new cards in 2 and half weeks so I wouldn't rush into buying anything just yet as prices of current stuff may shake up a bit.If you have the option to buy either an RTX3080 for £680 or an RTX3080 Ti for £850 (both FE brand new) ,which one is in your opinion a better buy at this moment?

it's actually very doable (£800 for brand new 3080 TI Founders) right now.they sell for £850 on eBay.did you buy from eBay?we're talking about 10% performance difference I believe. I would go with the 3080 myself if we're talking about the 12 gb version.
In the end it's up to you to decide if you want to have the extra performance for that kind of cash difference.
I was lucky to bag a 3080 ti for £800 but I am not sure you can get that price now
Yes but I'm talking vale wise with the price examples I menation eg £680 for regular 3080 FE vs £830 for Ti FE3080ti as it has 12GB and as fast as a 3090 really, vram is more important out of these two really ask @Nexus18 or @TNA
The 3080 FE is only 10GB and slower.
Both same size and look the same too with the FE's. So if VRAM is more important to you and even the new 4080 is starting at 12GB so gives you a clue future games will need 12GB soon and already some out now.
If it was me the 3080ti.

My main concern is lack of warranty because even with receipt,warranty of these cards isn't transferable.
otherwise it seems there more chance in buying a Ti at £800-£850 vs regular 3080 at say £650-£680 (FE)
it maybe the case however with 4000 series pricing,I doubt the £650-£800 range cards need to drop significantly...I had the 3080 FE myself for around 8 Months (bought £650 directly) but I feel that card at £650 is still going to be the best value.I bought a 3080 at launch for £650 so for a now 2 year old card I wouldn't say £680 is a good price nor would I say £850 for a 3080ti is good either.

Founders Edition?no, i bought it from a competitor, which obviously I can't name, they had 44 in stock at that price, all gone in 2 days ...
no, you can see it in my sig, a zotac one, I love them and they have 5 years warrantyFounders Edition?
It's not inconceivable that AMD will release something faster than a 3090ti and with better ray tracing for around £650 so to rule them out before you even see what they have to offer is why nvidia thinks they can get away with with the ridiculous 4080 price performance.it maybe the case however with 4000 series pricing,I doubt the £650-£800 range cards need to drop significantly...I had the 3080 FE myself for around 8 Months (bought £650 directly) but I feel that card at £650 is still going to be the best value.
as for AMD I'm not really interested in their cards personally (never been) other than maybe effecting 3000 series prices.
I highly doubt that.It's not inconceivable that AMD will release something faster than a 3090ti and with better ray tracing for around £650 so to rule them out before you even see what they have to offer is why nvidia thinks they can get away with with the ridiculous 4080 price performance.
swap? I don't have my original 3080 (or PC) anymore.building new.I honestly wouldn’t risk swapping a 3080 to a 3080ti. The absolutely negligible risk of damaging the card doing the swap is greater than the performance differential
Well nvidia have just cancelled the 4080 12gb so maybe they're trying to avoid and embarrassment.I highly doubt that.
if they do,their small 20% GPU market share vs Nvidia will jump to 50% over night thats how unlikely it is.
This mentality is the reason why Nvidia can do anything they want. Stop pretending to care about price/performance and spend as much money as you possibly can.as for AMD I'm not really interested in their cards personally (never been) other than maybe effecting 3000 series prices.

3080 Ti for sure. Simply put 10GB just isn‘t enough
Yes but I'm talking vale wise with the price examples I menation eg £680 for regular 3080 FE vs £830 for Ti FE
I had the regular 10GB FE and in my time with it I never saw any game even topping 8GB so I think for gaming 10GB is plenty.
