rtx 3080 20gb coming Dec

[chrcoluk]

I expect 10 gig to be enough for mainstream including 4k to be honest, from a purely gaming standpoint.

The unknown is things like RTX IO.

I said the same weeks back I accept, but this new comment is from now looking at the console specifications, the xbox series X e.g. has 16 gig of VRAM, but only 10 gig is allocated to game rendering. The Series S designed for 1440p has 8 gig allocated for rendering and I expect it will get nowhere near to utilising that.

Problem current prices is 750 for a 3080 10gb and £1580 for a 24gb.

this means could be £1200

But didn't the older xbox one & PS4 only have 8GB of memory that is shared for everything ?

Plus you can't really compare how much vram a console game uses vs a PC game as PC games normally allow you to have far higher graphic settings
(this is one the big reasons why i game on a PC over and not on a console)

I'd like to know a bit more about RTX IO, but I also wonder why I have 32GB of RAM and the games are not using that first for cache. Perhaps RTX IO or DX IO will get around to the realisation that PCs often have a lot more free RAM to play with.

Ask yourself, how much faster is a 3090 over a 3080 @ 4k?
Answer: at best 15%
It has more cuda cores, 384 bit mem bus and 24gb vram. Do you really think 20gb ram on a 3080 is going to make it significantly faster than the 10gb version at 4k ? because I don't.

it wont. all it has is the 20 gigs of vram which if games use over 10gigs it becomes worth it..but that has yet to been seen if games are going touse up more then 10gigs. some people are saying 10gigs is not enough for 4k.others are saying it is.

Everyone’s only comparing the memory difference between the 3080 and 3090 and expecting a 3080 with nearly the same memory as a 3090 to be near the same price, they aren’t the same card though... the 3090 is a Titan in essence so will always have a stupid price tag for the relatively small performance gain. If they are purely just dumping some more memory on the 3080 I can’t see it being 1.2k for instance and probably perform the same in most benchmarks. If an average third party 3080 is around £750 I would expect the 20GB version to be around £900 perhaps? I do however still want the 20GB version if I’m spending best part of 1k to use a card for 3/4 years

its got nothing to do with that..vram is expensive..thats why the 3090 was so pricy compered to the 3080. the 20gb will be no different. its prob going to be around £1200 for just a FE card. aftermarket ones like asus and gigabyte are going to be a lot more..prob as much as £1400 if not more for one of the top tier aftermarket cards.

 

[Derek Byrne]

hoping for around 1k price,which I am thinking its gonna be around there and it slots in nicely between the 3080 and 3090 prices for nvidia

For the Founders Edition, sure.. but AIBs will ask for more.
Which could well push it closer in price to a 3090 FE (say 1200 - 1300).

If only I'd won the lottery, I'd be able to sit back on my laurels and get all three (3080 10gb, 3080 20gb, 3090) lol

Aftermarket 3090s are like £1450, not top brands granted but I can’t see it being that much. Time will tell

not the top ones..look again .there £1700 for the top asus and gigabyte ones. and the cheapest is £1450. most lower tier ones being £1500. its 4 gig difference. so I can see it being £1200 considering that.

Yes I know lol, read my reply again.

Who’s going to buy a 3080 20GB for the same price as a Palit 3090 though, surely the majority of people would go for the Palit.

 

[morta]

if its a asus strix or gigabyte model i think a lot of people would chooose it over a palite 3090. since it will be a better card and overclock better. that gigabyte master 3080 is a beast.

That would be a really stupid choice if they did imo as obviously a low end 3090 can also be overclocked, all your paying for with top end cards is the brand name, potentially better cooler design, potentially better thermals, noise levels and dare I say it better RGB..lol

your also paying for better build quality.Look what happend with the vram on the first releases of the 30 series cards. you get what you pay for. and the price is high for this kind of stuff. anyways i can see it being trhat kind of price..id like to be wrong. but as you said. only time will tell.

3080 FE 10GB = £650
3080 FE 20GB = (I predict) £850

Ergo a sliding scale of adding c£200 for all the 20GB AIB cards as appropriate.

If AMD's Big Navi (with 16GB) is going toe-to-toe with the 3080 then Nvidia can't price a 20GB version too high.

 

[Quartz]

If AMD's Big Navi matches the 3080 in price and performance and has 16 GB as rumoured then I see Nvidia dropping the price of the 10 GB 3080 and putting a 20 GB 3080 at that price point.

Exactly, nvidia may have missed the boat with the supply mess up

 

[otester]

It's not just about size but speed, real question is whether 16GB of slow RAM is better than 10GB fast RAM, I think the for the vast majority of use cases it will be the latter.

rtx 3080 20gb coming Dec... 2077

There fixed the post title.

 

[tatts]

if anyone thinks they'll get a 20gb sub £1k they are dreaming. The prices of the 3070 and 10gb 3080 have already jumped. The £650 cards are now £720+
