OcUK RTX4080 16GB review thread

[Kirby Wurm]

One of the mods ( feek I think) Confirmed that the forums had been decoupled from the shop. So no more more crashes during product launches.

Ah, that's good. Not that I even bothered checking out the prices when they were ready for sale! The uplift in performance is fine, the value proposition hasn't moved one iota.

Want more frames? Pay for them, or buy a 30x0 (Ti)...please, for the love of God, buy a 30 series! [/Jensen]

on launch of the 3080 FE on Nvidia website shop was £649 & now £1269 for 4080 FE or
Partner card upto £1600.

Hmm, not sure about that. When the 4090 launched the forums were playing up

From memory I think there was a lot of traffic so it was slow but you could still get onto the forums and post stuff. in past I wouldn’t bother coming to forums because I just couldn’t get on (it would also log me out)

I think it was the 4090 launch that prompted me to make a joke and ping Feek. I would try and find the post but I’m on mobile and have ****** internet right now

The main benefit is that the 4080 has enough vram and the 3080 doesn't

10GB not enough then?

 

[Grim5]

10GB not enough then?

Clearly not that's why it now has 16gb

Yep. The more vram the more performance apparently

Sums it up that still a load of stock after the whole day of selling. Price stinks

LOL

 

[turbot1984]

I don't need 10gb, 8gb would have been fine.

Toms hardware is reporting that U.S retailers got sold out within minutes

Yeah, way too cheap. People smell something fishy going on.

 

[turbot1984]

Remember september 2020? Nvidia marketing gurus think we are back then ... watch the prices freefall.

 

[ALXAndy]

Oooo check your undies. Can you feel Jen manipulating you?

lmao. People are actually trying to scalp one of the worst cards in history.

 

[Grim5]

Jay is right, imagine what happens when you stick a 360mm AIO on a GPU that runs at between 200w and 300w. Overkill, that's what it is. Temperature in the thirties under full load

Perhaps they have a combination of better prices and more scalpers? Ocuk and competitors still have stock.

 

[Things change I've changed]

The prices of these will fall for a fact, and by quite a margin I believe, as someone said earlier on in the thread, if you have the cash to buy the 4080 @ 1.3k then you would've already bought a 4090 @ 1.6k, who can argue against that?

4080ti?

 

[Drollic]

4080ti?

The one with the fire potential (it just never gets old).

 

[TheRealDeal]

Nvidia's pricing is a disgrace this round. AMD has at least stayed the same which is still to high and i do think the xt should be the 7800 so they have half screwed us as well. To have 2 geforce cards over 1k is a **** take to say the least. If it was not for me having loads of mates on the PC platform i would just give it up and play Ps5 and series x. The Vega 64 i have now is not quite cutting it now so am gonna have to stump up for 7900xtx by the looks of it but it should do me another 4 years.

They all have fire potential lmao, go amd for now fire potential or even better just turn off your electrical switchboard to remove all risk
