We all know the website is going to fall over at 5 seconds past 2.

People in a few days wondering they go 3080 or wait for big navi. (This works for both threads )

people who get 3080 should not be worried because its a relatively cheap card and is a monster, end of story.

Its the 3090 owners who will need anti anxiety pills, because the card is so expensive already

Relatively cheap?

Nearly £700 for a gpu is now classed as relatively cheap?

Well nvidia definitely changed perceptions over the last few generations.

All we ever hear is wait for Amd they have something big and it always ends up pap or mid range. I would love them to come out and beat nvidia for the competition and price drops but id be very surprised if the come close to the 3080. If they do the that means nvidia will have to release the 3080ti sharpish so its a win win.

Xbox has the equivalent of a 2080ti in it and it pulls less than 300 watts for the whole system, if AMD can't push out an 3080 competitor then something is seriously wrong at RTG.

I’ve been out of the gpu loop for 6 months, when I left it was looking more like a 1080 in the Xbox perhaps a ti, do you have a source for this so I can educate myself?

This makes me think that the dGPU version is going to be the 3070 competitor with the two 'big navi' guns going out for the 80+90.

Hopefully that's the case, but considering cuda cores are great for mining who knows, there was images of am alleged farm in China with supposedly 3080s mining but could have been false.

 

[gpuerrilla]

Its entirely possible as there are bulk buys going on behind the scenes which is a shame.

 

[Adrian1976]

Almost guaranteed there are more stories online saying miners are sweeping up all the stock than there are actual miners sweeping up the stock. With many publications ripping every other publications stories off for hits this is the way.

Unless you're paying next to nothing for electricity or the price of crypto increases significantly, it will take ages to break even.

But if you're worried, on 17th September at 2pm keep mashing F5 and lock in your price and stock by putting an order in. It's not difficult.

Yep I agree, some people are saying a year to break even but I have no idea.

As long as prices don't go up before release shouldn't be a problem hopefully.

Anything is possible in China. No one cares about embargo or NDAs etc - thats why miners are already buying 3080's and why 3080 reviews are going up in China. heck there are even people selling 3080's over the water in Hong Kong over Facebook

Its not in the spirit and its bad that the supply chain can be easily manipulated. I hope its not the case tbh.

Didn't DF say 2080

 

[Vertigo]

Assume you mean 4k Blu-ray here so 8 seasons of game of thrones and what else?!

Bit off-topic but yeah the GoT box set, Marvel Infinity Saga box set and BTTF box set

Didn't DF say 2080

I agree, it's closer to a 1080 Ti / 2080 than a 2080 Ti.

 

[TNA]

If they are maxed settings then that is pretty decent considering the jump over a 2080Ti and the perf jump with dlss which looks better than native in most cases.

I’d be more concerned about stock levels to be honest.

That’s not the point though is it. One of the main reasons I thought might as well go 3080 over the 3070 is the excellent performance numbers given by digital foundry and by Jensen. Not then settling for decent.

Next week the Xbox will be 3080 performance

Do you know if there is a GA100 die?
I've read about it, but they are not clear if NV will use it.

NVidia use it in their pro cards but I don't think they use anything like all the available cores even though it is a bigger chip than GA102.

Thanks for that.

Are you getting a 3090 or holding out for something better?

That chart shows an unconfirmed card for 2020 release .. a 20gb 3080Ti …...
