Anyone got the link to the EVGA 12 pin power connector? Saw it in the jayz2 video but i can't see any info on it on their website... or when it will be available?

Can’t find it online yet, maybe once the cards are available, it’ll be ready to order.

He also said the EVGA one will fit any EVGA power supply no matter what the wattage is, which is good.

Good if you have an EVGA power supply, no good if you have a Corsair one with the capacitors on? (I don't have that one, but it was the one I was thinking of buying).

I would buy if I were any of you, ethereum miners are going to gobble these up and prices will rise.

I've ordered a custom sleeved modular cable but didn't realise evga was bringing one out, not gonna cancel but would have been nice to have ordered an official cable.

Hmm, nvidia are bound to be comparing it to their FE though which would be running at lower clocks than something like a strix.

doubt there was little in it between an fe at stock and a strix at stock. Clearly something dodgy going on there. If the 3080 doesn’t Overclockers well looks like a good oc 2080ti still beats it in doom. That’s disappointing if true

In benchmarks the 2080ti is already getting 38fps at 4k with rsytracing on though :/

The 3080 is meant to be what 40% faster or so which would get it close. The RAM is not relevant in this title.

Not using the settings I used.

Since when did G-Sync work on HDMI on a GPU at this point?

On LG TV's yes G-Sync Comp.

Nvidia enabled freesync/gsync over HDMI around end of last year for 20 series.

It looked a bit custom/prototype to me, rather than a mass-produced ready to ship item. There is a thread on the EVGA forums, but no info.

Interesting that the card in the FE box states that use of a third party cable may invalidate your warranty.

Right I didn't know that, but wow it's almost like going back 20 years lol.

You can also use dynamic resolution scaling to get around 60 FPS but that can be quite grainy/blurry at times and defeats some of the purpose IMO.

I don’t blame them as lots of people will be making these extensions and easy to get the pins wrong and blow up your gfx card

This guy speaks a lot of sense and I'm sure Nvidia is desperate to take down his channel lol.

The 3080 is basically a 2080ti with the power unlocked. It all makes sense, there's no improvement to rasterization whatsoever, basically if you care about RT get the 3080 otherwise and his words not mine if your dumb enough to sell a 2080ti buy it from them at a quarter of the price lol.

It's basically a rebrand of the 2080ti with faster RT and the power draw increased,and we all know how many RT titles there are available lol.

Not quite the next gen Jensen and his leather jacket would like everyone to believe.

In the literal sense not even close to true there are a lot of architecture changes from Turing to Ampere especially in the shaders.

What you mean a random guy posting from his basement hasn't just uncovered Jensen's fraud!

What he's basically trying to get across is, ignore the fact it has double the RT cores, let's be honest it's irrelevant now if your playing a game that can't be played at 60fps with RT on, what do you do? You switch that **** off.

Not talking about other ampere improvements he's talking about raw FPS and the fact is he is correct they are exactly the same considering the 3080 is drawing more power, how people can't understand this is quite funny to be honest.

Why do people upgrade in the first place? If like me because your previous GPU is struggling to maintain 60 FPS in said titles you upgrade for performance.

If anyone says to me I'm upgrading because it's got new features I'd say your full of **** tbh, people upgrade for faster performance that's the bottom line.

What will that mean in regards to performance increases for the average gamer?

Scare tactics, is it coincidence it peaked shortly after everyone was told their 2080tis were worth less than £400.

Good point, even Nvidia don't want their second hand values to tank. Good resale is one of Nvidia's strongest selling points imo.

Sounds like a good plan, sell a 2080Ti, and but it for cheaper, pocketing money, that's not dumb.

The 3080 is completely different from a 2080Ti.

So Monday we will see proper benchies ?
