NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080Ti to be "available" on June 3rd, RTX 3070Ti on June 10th

What I don't get is surely these predicted 3080Ti prices are at or above 3090 levels?! Or is the 3090 now like £3k or something?

Also everyone is speculating how much faster the 3080Ti will be yet the 3090 is only 10-15% faster than a regular 3080 so that's a hard cap on the 3080Ti performance as it'll obviously be slightly slower than a 3090.

So 70% price increase in return for 10% more performance?

Hope no one was holding out for the 3080 Ti - should have been under £1000 MSRP

The 1080Ti was legendary. Both the 2080Ti and now 3080Ti are farcical by comparison.

I think it's priced well. The 3080FE is the one that was simply too cheap. In hindsight, I think Nvidia would have priced the 3080 FE @ $800, that would be way more suitable.

3080 too cheap? lol

Its a complete scam by Nvidia to fleece more money from the hordes for a bare minimum performance increase. Horrendous business practices from Nvidia here and a kick in the balls for gamers.
 
Little more than a mild refresh and an attempt by Nvidia to get some of the money that gamers and miners are paying for cards. Cynical and exploitative. But no one will care and stock will be short and prices expensive and people will still buy whatever they can.

was it confirmed these are replacements for the standard 30x0 cards and those are being withdrawn?

And this people, is why we get fleeced every generation.

A playstation 5 or xbox is giving people a comparable experience for £450. Thinking a £650 gpu is too cheap is bonkers.

I don't think so, and it makes sense to keep that SKU to use chips that haven't made the grade for 3090's or 3080 Ti's.

These cards are just a money grab, pure and simple, but the market will lap them up.

The 2080 Ti was 30% ahead of anything else in its generation, and available under £1k if you looked hard enough. Fantastic cards. Given people are now spending more on a 3070(!) which is roughly equivalent, and I've already had years of gaming out of it...

Yeah, not farcical at all, in fact it feels like one of my better tech purchases.
 
So i was spot on then, when i was called a joker saying around £1000rrp, when most were saying 2.5k, i was on about rrp price, and not what shops would be selling them for, mind you i would not buy from any where that sold for more than a couple 100 on top of that, 1000 still way to much.

I think you are still confused by the FE price and AIB price what people were saying. The AIB prices are going to be double almost the FE msrp.

Example the 3080 is priced at £650 FE but AIBs are selling for almost £1.5-2K

3090 are £1400 FE but selling for £2-3K.

so the 3080ti FE is £1100-£1150 and will sell for £2k+.

No one was talking about the fake msrp on the FEs that no one can get and the drip feeding, people are also wanting AIBs in most cases not FE models.

Yeah the 2080ti has aged better and better as this farcical situation has developed. Those who sold in the early days for 500 quid must be biting their fists now.
 
Well we now know the prices UK prices are £1049 for the 3080 Ti and £529 for the 3070 Ti
But they won't drop it big numbers and the 3070TI is not a bad deal at that price ..

No i was on about the normal 3080ti rrp, i know the better cards are always a couple of 100 more, like i bought my asus strix 2080 super for i think 150 more than rrp, aib cards arnt worth no more than a couple of 100 on top, and thats normally how it is, not 1000's on top.
 
I was interested in the 3080ti until I saw the comical price. 3070ti seems okay value by comparison, but only by comparison.

The prices shifting up each gen seems to get normalised, I paid £400 for my AIB 1070ti.
 
Just to wade in on this discussion with a personal opinion.

When the 3080 was announced, we (at OcUK) all agreed that Nvidia's reported MSRP was probably too cheap. This was simply based on its reported performance and the price/performance of the, then, current generation of cards. We weren't surprised when AIB cards started landing at prices that made hitting that MSRP, without support, impossible.

Day one demand pretty much proved what we thought. The cards were too cheap at that time. I don't agree that the current pricing for 3080 is acceptable either though. There's a realistic middle ground, which we just can't hit. :(

Now, one of my biggest bug bears is when people quote Nvidia's MSRP for the FE as an MSRP for all cards. Anyone who has been into PC gaming for more than six months knows that's not how things work. After market cards are faster, quieter and run cooler than the FE. Is that worth the current difference in cost? no IMO it's not, but it's definitely worth a fair premium because of how this affects the price/performance ratio. :cool:

Whilst I haven't been able to test FE cards myself to prove this, from their reported performance and my own testing of different after market cards, I'd be confident to say that a good after market 3080 OC can match a 3090 FE at 1440p and so a good after market 3080Ti OC will probably beat it comfortably.

Obviously, I'm talking about gaming performance and for those of you lunatics who game at 4K/8K it might not be so clear cut, but it's worth consideration when you compare one card to another, you should probably do so based on actual performance rather than the name on the GPU itself. :confused:

You haven't a clue at all, he wears it for launches of new cards etc, it's just become a running joke that he gets called leather jacket man due to that.
