Sorry in advance, but.... can i get folks thoughts on something, for those who will be waiting awhile to get a 3080 (ignore/shoot me down if this isn’t the topic of today’s discussion):
ps. Feel free to laugh at my pc building newbie ass.
- Is there a point at which it is worth waiting for the 20GB variant or Big Navi to be announced? I’m paranoid asf, that IF... i could get a 3080 in the next week or two, i’ll end up getting shafted by a new model announced before the year is out.
When they bring a 20gb version out it's going to be much more expensive and won't make a difference in most games right now but you might get a few more years out of it as games start to need more vram.
I wouldn't count on Navi being able to compete with nvidia 3080 or have working drivers.
If you wait until later in the year you could get a 3070 and save your self a few £££s
As long as you get a 3080 for around retail price of £650 I don't think you would regret it. It's half the price of last year's top card and faster.
