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

And I assume you can't mention that place here on the forums?

Nope, isn't that many well known places.

Hmmm, can't find it yet.

So all this means is we'll now see even less 3080s than we had already as nvidia scalpes them into Tis for the extra profits.

You will, when you click on any card it will say leave your number etc. Wish all retailers would do it this way, to many bots etc.

I'll keep looking, thanks.

Think I found it, they don't have any EVGA GPU's but I can settle for MSI if it means I can actually get one at all!

Wow the cost of these cards are insane and still they didnt do anything for the memory temps.

All the usual youtube shills are not holding back, seems nvidia can't do right, at the moment.

IMO if Nvidia wanted to do right by the majority of its customers it would have used these chips to produce vanilla 3080 as there are still people waiting from launch date for those. I suspect that even most people still not on preorder would prefer a cheaper 3080 over the 3080ti, this presents to be as a way for Nvidia to make more money, not about rewarding loyal customers who have bought from them in the past

A really terrible product at that price point. The 3080 looks good value compared to what the Ti is offering.

This...

Think I'll carry on trying to get a 3080FE..
However be interesting to see what the 3070Ti costs and where its performance sits with the 3080...

my hunt still continues

There are no good options here. Best I can think is buy a second hand Rx 580. Yes you'll pay more than you should but way less than buying new at the new normal selling price.
They're good enough for med res & frame rates.

Best option at this rate is streaming gaming. stadia or similar. Hardware is a joke.

LOL yes if you live in USA, I have had my notify for the 3090s and 3080s with EVGA since day one of them allowing us to register in a queue and not once for any of the cards did I get a notify that I could buy one to this day, while USA were getting to buy them in the queue, seriously so happy they failed as their cards are one of the worst this generation for quality and all the failures they had. EVGA have zero interest in the UK market and the EU one now it seems too with all the complaints from EU countries too.

I use to buy their GPUS all the time the Classifieds and KingPins , never again, their last good quality cards were the 980ti cards everything after that has been junk, I purchased their 2080ti KingPin and same day I sent it back for a refund as it was a cheap built card and had horrible coil whine and didn't make sense to keep such an expensive card when 2080tis were a lot cheaper than a kingpin and after that, I thought I would give them one more chance for a 3090 FTW 3 Ultra and got on the waiting list but in that time all the problems came out with the cards and the board tear downs showed how cheap they were made from cheap components to sticking thermal putty everywhere instead of the right sized thermal pads, this is done because they wanted to cheap out or because they didn't work out the right sized thermal pads needed or the right size was not made due to them not planning the cooler correctly for right sized thermal pads that were sold. They made a real mess, then the issues with the red lights of death sealed the deal for me and wouldn't touch one if they gave me it at half price, to this day their cards fail in wonderful ways the 3000 series.. EVGA are not the same company anymore of top end gear, they make junk now.

I had exactly the same issues with a GTX 1080 FTW with deafening coil whine, the cheaped out thermal pads causing overheating VRM's with subsequent black screening and general poor construction I couldn't believe how naff it all was, I havn't touched one since.

All the usual youtube shills are not holding back, seems nvidia can't do right, at the moment.

Aww shame. Poor Nvidia! I'm sure Jensen is crying all the way to the bank.

Slight refresh to scalp more Nvidia profits, scummy.

 

[chroniclard]

What has been the difference in the past between the 80 model and the 80Ti, seems this one is about 5-6% over a 3080 for nearly twice the price.

Usually around 25%

Anyone who buys this card could have just brought a 3090 at release for not much more and had 9 months use out of the card, 9 months from now we will likely have new gen cards out that beat this by 50%

I'm not sure I get the hate myself, I've tested 3080Ti and whilst I'm not allowed to give any performance info (our NDA is different to media) It's an excellent card. Challenges 3090, costs less and limited hash rate 'should' mean less mining demand. It's a solid offering, if, a bit expensive for AIB cards (but that's the world we live in right now).

I don't really get what people were expecting. The 3080 was too cheap at launch and Nvidia were definitely not going to be offering 3090 performance for the same sort of price as the 3080. I don't buy into the memory argument since I'm yet to find a game which needed more than 10GB and the TI is faster on that side of things too.

 

[mikehhhhhhh]

How much it costs more than a 3080 is totally irrelevant if you have been unable to buy a 3080 until now.

The number of people who have bought a 3090 after being unable to buy a 3080 is clear evidence that there is a market for it.

What a lot of reviewers seem to forget (particularly GN) when saying £x extra isn't worth it for x% is the people who are already GPU limited. A sim racer running triple monitors will be very grateful for an extra 10% - especially seeing as they probably haven't been able to get hold of a 3080 until now.

Those moaning about value should just buy a 3090 and mine on it for a couple of months

 

[Toastylee123]

Honestly, i'm not particularly broken up about it, i just wish i could actually get my hands on one, AIB or otherwise at even close to the MSRP

The problem is it is a ton of money over the 3080 while only performing around 2-3% more in many cases while the extra 2GB VRAM doesn't really provide enough additional benefit in a situation where you are VRAM limited and otherwise isn't a limitation where the 10GB 3080 copes.

Sadly I expect it will fly off the shelves but I don't see this as a good thing for the long term health of PC gaming.

Personally I'd be less critical if we had a solid availability of 3080s at around MSRP giving people more of a choice whether to pay over the odds or not (there have been times where I've spent silly money on GPUs just for little extra features like additional VRAM over the stock card that was only useful in edge cases but I wanted to have it, etc.).
