Most important can indeed mean many things, but I don't recall anyone referring to the GTX 1060 as nvidia's flagship card.
The internet out in full force today... can argue semantics all you like, but in context, the 3090 is the flagship card.
Am I leather jacket man?
I am not a troll. NVidia call the 3080 the flagship. The 3080 is likely to be the most important product in this series so slip out of the back door after reading the dictionary yourself and understanding what Jensen meant when he said it.
Just read back through this thread and realised that you’ve called me a troll after trolling me for stating a direct quote from the head of NVidia.
The 2080 came out and was no faster then a 1080ti....the 2080ti was not much faster for £1200
I said from the start, the 2080 series was overpriced tat....and I decided not to buy and missed the gem completely.
If you bought a 2080 series card...the. You made your choice.

I don’t believe they should. Good idea but they are old cards now that realistically no one wants unless they are cheap.
If I bought a 2080Ti a few months ago for £1500 I’d be ****** but had mine 2 years and has had plenty of use. My original 1080Ti I sold for £50 more than I paid so it was only a few hundred on top to upgrade.
It’s unfortunate it has dropped so far in price. But at least something like a 3080 isn’t too far out of reach for most.
Ti owners should be looking to the 3090 or RTX 3080Ti in my opinion if they are looking to upgrade. I’m not so sure yet, most likely won’t bother. There’s just nothing monitor wise to really push these new cards for me.

I totally agree if you read the GPU market well you can get the best cards at a reasonable price, my first card I bought was a r9 fury which thanks to mining I sold for a profit after a year of use I then got a 1080 ti which I had for 2 years and I then sold for £300 less than i originally paid, I then purchase a new 5700 xt with 2 games for £300 which was less money than I got for the 1080 ti but similar performance.so pc gaming doesn't have to be to expensive if you buy and sell at the right times.
Just do what Hobib does. Complain that what Nvidia did made you feel unwell, then reward them for making you feel this way by ordering two of their most expensive offerings. Do this every gen over and over. That will teach them!
Love these threads
Lol. Surely no one is buying that marketing line? I am likely getting a 3080 and am under no illusions that it is flagship or will remain so for long anyways.
your posts are just like those grammarly ads that appear when your watching an interesting video on you tube.
That's life. I bought a 2080ti 18 months ago. It's been great thanks. Thing is I've ridden the high end GPU wave for a decade now. Always buying the best and selling it on when the new best thing comes out. I've never had to pay more than a couple of hundred quid for the latest GPU. Until now but that's fine. I knew this would happen and it's not as desperate as everyone is making out. Forgetting about the 3090, and presuming I can get £400 for my ti, a new 3080 will cost £250-300. Actually I've not dismissed the idea of keeping the ti. It handles everything I play brilliantly. Roll on the benchies!

Thanks man
And here is what your threads remind me of:
This is epic, been making me laugh the last few days!
Yeah, same here. These videos plus Hobib make for good entertainment every time nvidia release new gen of graphics cards
Seeing the reaction of 2080Ti owners at the moment is like those people who pick up a new car on reg plate change day and promptly drive it into the back of a bin lorry.
It should result in a feeling of empathy for their plight but, really, £1400 for a GPU? LOL
Loving the various memes out at the moment and now trying to justify changing my rig for something worthy of the new GPUs. NVIDIA have done it right this time.
