I'm torn between the Asus RTX 3080 TUF or RTX 3080 Founders Edition, both priced @ £649?

Why would you consider that Asus with its renowned terrible RMA process, 2 year LESS warranty, over the Zotac Trinity with a five year warranty, at the same price?
(Unless it won't fit in your case)
I was just about to say that. The Zotac offerings are the clear winners here. It's a bit of a no brainer with the 5 year warranty, added peace of mind and it increases resale value.

Arguably one of the better looking cards in the £649 range as well (obviously this is subjective), not to mention it has a metal front and backplate.

Must admit I'm coming from a 1080 which still does the business but a 3080 looks too good to pass up (obviously I will be waiting for reviews first.)

there is white offerings for both 3080 and 3090 from kfa2 and galax who are as far as im aware the same brand just for different markets but the white cards look fantastic if you search kfa2 3080/3090 white you will come accross it
If that was the case then why didn't you and most other here getting a 3090 have a Titan RTX that had 24GB VRAM?
Think about it. Until a few days ago, most people thought the 2080Ti was the dogs ******** right? The 3080 is at least 40% better, only difference being it has 1gb less VRAM. I am sure if someone asked 2080Ti owners, would you trade 1gb of your vram for 40% extra performance, people would have overwhelmingly said yes.
Suddenly anything less than 24GB is crap though right? Right...
You honestly think MS made flight sim 2020 with cards with 24 gigs of ram in mind?

there has been talk of a 3080 with 20gb vram whether that is a 3080 super or ti tho that remains to be seen and lenovo leaked a 3070ti yesterday that had 16gb vram
The GDDR6X is expensive and in short supply at the moment. Cards with 16GB and 20GB memory are more likely to be available next year.
It will help massively though mate..
Yeah maybe after some major updates in a few years, by then i will be on a different GPU with more VRAM though.
What others do is not a concern of mine. I get all the facts and make a decision that makes sense for me. I am sure a lot of people were going mad for the 20 series also, I never purchased it however.
It is my opinion that 99.9% games out today will work without issues with 10GB. The handful of games between now and the release of the 4070/80 that need more than 10GB for max textures I will either drop down from Extreme to Very High textures or use DLSS 2.1. Gaming at much better than 2080Ti performance for the next 2 years sorted
Still waiting on your answer about VRAM. Why did you not buy a Titan RTX that had 24GB? Why is it suddenly such a big concern overnight?
Oh I get it, because a lot of other people see the 3090 as their precious now, but Titan RTX was not precious back then, 2080Ti was. Lol. Come on man..

He was talking about getting 2 3090's in sli, that well supported feature that hasn't been dead for years now. 0_o
I know. He seems very confused. Based on his posting it seems he buys this stuff for bragging rights more than anything else. SLI is dead for god sakes. I get why Kaapstad does it, his favorite game is 3DMark

Most people knew the 2080ti was a dog...

They certainly didn't build it with more than 4 CPU cores in mind
