Don't get your hopes up, it'll be an architecture overview and HPC releases.

I doubt it, Odyssey just averages 55-60fps on a 2080Ti at 4K ultra settings

Id have to agree. It’s unlikely. Unless Ubisoft finally optimise their games.
2080Ti should still manage 4k 60 with a mix of Higher end settings however.
Game developers can cripple any GPU. Remember Crysis? The test is not 'ultra' - or whatever - settings but visuals that are good enough. Is the game playable with good enough settings?

Remember crysis 2 with the magic tessellation on perfectly flat objects (because a flat object can never have too many polygons) and rendering water with it when it wasn't even visible.
Yeah I agree. When sites have to 10x zoom on a frame to show you the subtle differences between some high and ultra settings, you soon realise plenty of settings can be set to high or even medium without hardly any observable difference when the game is in motion.
Yep, been doing this for many years. That is why I have been able to game at 4K since 2014.
Some settings on that game are stupid. Dropping the setting for clouds from max to high returns an extra 30% fps
iirc when I last played Odyssey I had all the settings on High and a couple even at Ultra like textures and I was getting anywhere between 80 and 90fps at 4K

RDR2 is the same. Some of the fps gains you get from dropping settings that barely make a difference is ridiculous.

God knows what the prices will be like after the corona chaos. My card is already £100 more expensive than what I paid for it 7 months ago!
Im swaying towards £1500 for a reference 3080Ti.

What is more likely imo is your card will be worth about £500 and the reference 3080Ti will be around £1000 or so.
Yeah. Even at £1000 the 3080Ti will be overpriced. Not sure why people think it will be £1500, just can’t see the logic behind that.And then for the second time in the last few years nvidia can go **** themselves
The prices should be:
3070 reference $399
3080 reference $599
3080Ti reference $799
Titan $1999 or whatever they want.
They should release the 3070, 3080 and Titan first. Milk the people who want the best with the ludicrous price, then release the 3080Ti.
I think there only getting away with charging these high GPU prices because everyone struck in a lock down
But then again some 2080ti cost high as £1499 about a year ago
Yeah. By the time these cards hit there will likely be no lock down, just social distancing. Also there might be job loses as furlough’s end. I doubt there will be an appetite as big numbers as now or the past to spend £1500 on a graphics card.
Reading yesterday that there meant to be over 20 million people lost there jobs in the US already and this virus thing is far from being over yet
No idea what the UK job lost & business lost numbers are so far
More like he would enchant you and when he says “the more you buy...” you will say “the more you save!”
