** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES NOW ONLINE AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (3090 / 3080 / 3070) **

Yeah of course...But we have no firm data yet on how the 3070 will perform...a £1200 card on Monday not getting a sniff at £499 24 hours later is hard to swallow...Not for me cause I used professional judgement and missed the 2000 gen cards due to them being overpriced tat :p

If the performance data is true...Have we seen this performance jump before on a NV gen-gen?

@Kaapstad

Yes. Once you ignore the RT and DLSS performance jump, we have seen bigger jumps at least twice before.
 
Also those thinking of a 3080 card what resolution are you gaming at?
4K here. Not to concerned with VRAM. There are ways around it for me. It will likely only crop up in a handful of games between now and the release of hopper/Arcturus when I upgrade again, so no biggie. Now if I was keeping this card 4+ years then yeah I would want more VRAM.


3090 FE for me Cyberpunk @4K everything full on :D
Yea, that is the game I am looking forward to most also :D

I will be happy with 40-60fps which I think the 3080 will deliver :)

Plus I tend to turn off a bunch of effects I consider to make image quality worse that free up performance, that “must be on maximum” crew leave on :p
 
Will these be like rocking horse *****?

depends. Gibbo says there is going to be good stocks. On the other hand nobody knows for sure how many buyers there is going to be.

Fine for Gibbo to have 100,000 cards on first day but if 200,000 people want to buy one then they will sell out within 2 minutes and people are going to be disappointed.

I still think the forum members should get first dibs for first 10 minutes @Gibbo ?
 
No chance. Waste of money as far as I am concerned due to the such small gap in performance between it and the 3080. More than double the money for 20% extra performance? That’s mad, to me anyway.

In 2 years I will have sold this, added £50-100 on top and have a hopper gpu, probably a 4070 which will be better than a 3090.
I'm of exactly the same opinion as you, almost the same plan too
 
3080 for me @ 3440x1440 60hz but its the extra grunt in VR for simracing that iam more interested in.
Same boat as me but @100hz and interested in possibly upgrading Odyssey+ in near future. Also enjoying MSFS2020 at the moment and will be for a long time to come.

Probably going to wait for a 3080 super or Ti, see what AMD do and watch 3090 prices. In the meantime, sit back and check all the benchmarks, reviews and listen to user experience in specific sims...
 
I have two monitors, both 1440p 144hz. I'm thinking that 3090 might be overkill for this res and I don't have plans to switch to 4k in the near future.
Added 17th to my diary :)
