This saddens me. If they charge more then they did with the 2080Ti, Nvidia won't sell many. With most of the world out of work who in there right mind would buy or have the money? (If you do then good for you) PC component prices are just silly and have been for a few years now. Time to stick it to nvidia and say no to there massive greed.

I know many won't agree here, but PS5 & Xbox Series X are looking more desirable then then paying a £1500, £2000+ for a GPU.
 
I think you'll get a GPU that out performs a console for around the same price, obviously the entire PC will cost more but that's always been the case. Its the 30% extra for double the price that really grates

Why spend the money you dont need to there is no reason to buy a new GPU.

Well if you have purchased a new screen then you probably have a good reason to buy a new gpu.

I originally bought my gtx 1080 to play at 1080p and it smashed that for a couple of years but now I keep having to turn loads of stuff down.

I feel like gpu upgrade is definitely needed.

If we get a proper increase then 3070 will be more powerful than Series X anyway, i won't be going to console.

Just curious but what games do you have to turn loads of stuff down on? Never found anything my 1080 struggles with yet at that resolution.

Yes most hard core PC gamers won't, but more then 90% are casual and will be thinking console instead of spending silly money on a new GPU. I love my PC for gaming and I'm very happy with my 2080, but I'm thinking PS5 more then spending £2000. I upgrade every year or so too, but that's all changed now. I'll just stay where i'm at for a while and game until my GPU can't handle it any more and just use my PC for other things other then gaming. I know for a fact many share my feelings.

RDNA2 is also not for at least another 6 months, possibly 8....

People keep saying "Wait" no.... the only reason you would wait that long is if you are not actually at all interested in upgrading.

I will wait! :p

Don't see the point in buying old gear at inflated prices. Best time to buy is on release or near release most of the times I find, either that or buy on members market. I hate buying gear for the next gen version to come out in less than 12 months personally. But each to their own.

I also do not buy that there will be no gaming GPU's from Nvidia this year. Sure it may not be called Ampere, but we will likely get something none the less. I recall they also said we would not get any Volta GPU's them bam we got Turing. Same will likely happen again. Also we did not even know there was a Titan V, no reports what so ever and then they suddenly went on sale.
 
/Rumour control here

So based on the leaked info here is what I figure (performance wise).
  • The RTX 3060 should land just above the 2070 Super, but slightly below the 2080 Super.
  • The RTX 3070 should land above the 2080 Super, but fall just short of the the 2080ti. (might pop it's head in front on an few games).
  • The RTX 3080 will be roughly 15% faster than the 2080ti.
  • And RTX 3080Ti will knock the ball out of the park at roughly 40% faster than the 2080ti. (But yeah... get ready to sell an liver ££££).
So the real question will the RTX 3080 offer better value this time around?
Or will the RTX 3070 be king of the price vs performance?

Or will AMD crash the party and totally wreck'em on price and performance lol. :D
(Personally I cannot see AMD getting anywhere near to the RTX 3080Ti, that thing is going to be an beast, but lower down maybe).

What do you reckon chaps?

I think it would be a mistake if they released a Titan as a first launch card... that represents an even smaller minority of gamers than the Ti and I think in today's climate would be subject to criticism.

If they kept it to £2k I think they'd find plenty of buyers, hell I may even be tempted (and I've never gone full Titan before ;))

Although tbf those numbers don't seem too outlandish. It's the crazy core-counts I have issue with, just can't see them being that generous!!

Not plenty vs the numbers that would pay for a Ti (which is already a crazy high budget GPU product). If a Titan was all that was available at release there would be virtual nerd riots. :D
