There is no decent upgrade path for 1080ti owners yet

Yeah you did
Ok, looking back, I didn't need to upgrade but I wanted some RTX action, performance difference was negligible, the 2070S was slightly faster (except in Forza 4 for some reason)
I think you've got a few options:
1. Wait for a 3070 or 3080 with more VRAM - Might not be this year. The best option I think, especially if you can already get 60 FPS at 4k in some games, and you want a NV GPU
2. Wait for benchmarks of the high end RDNA 2 GPU in October, probably will have >10GB of VRAM
3. Turn down a couple of settings if needed
- Do you actually need them on, or is a game (such as flight simulator) just filling VRAM without any real visual improvement? Sometimes using a different type of anti-aliasing can make a big difference. Also, if 10gb is the norm for future games, I think a lot of game devs will budget games for this amount, perhaps opting to use less VRAM intensive AA options like DLSS
4. If you wanna play at 8k, check some benchmarks for the 3090 on release. Thats a hell of a lot of pixels (~33 million), I doubt you will get 60 FPS in all games. On 2nd thought, who even has an 8k display yet anyway?

Really looking forward to upgrading my you
1080ti is struggling a little now at 4k with HDR on
Quite a few options need to drop to low or medium specially on RDR2 and oydessy
Now I have a lg CX panel really want start using 120hz too.

You need to think more positiveIt's going to be so painful handing over £1400 for a GPU
Like think of the huge Grin someone will have on there face when they take the £1400 (or more like £1600
) from you..The wierd thing about this thread is....it seems to be working on the assumption that the 3080 with its less vram will underperform compared to a 1080ti with more vram. The likelihood, i stand to be proved wrong, is that like with every other benchmark we will see a 50% boost to performance from the 3080 over the 2080Ti. So why is anyone worried?
I know no matter what 10GB is 10GB (remember the HBM Crap claims) but that new PAM4 Fuction in GDDR6X function Nvidia helped develop would appear to do something for performance.

According to rumours, Ampera uses compression to increase vram copacity by 20% to 40%. So the 3080 has up to 14Gb vram.
I doubt Nvidia would sell a GPU that's not fit for purpose.

Nvidia marketing "Less is more" really works on some people.
From the Nvidia Q&A Reddit thread, Nvidia cheaped out on Ram capacity for cost reasons. All this compression stuff is ********.
They want to steer as many people as possible to the 3090.
3080 as I said earlier appears to be for 1080, 980ti, 980 and those who don't play at 4K.

This thread is utterly pointless, the answer is yes 3070, 3080 and 3090 and great upgrades for a 1080Ti and no going from 11gb to 10gb is not going make any difference.
Oh and for the people who keeping going on about FS2020 this is literally one piece of software and if your the type of person who gets their entertainment from that kind of thing you can afford a 3090

If that were true they would've said so, and even in that Reddit Q&A they didn't mention it, at least not for the question asking if 10GB vram is enough
I wish I was the type of person who enjoys playing FS2020.
I would love to be able to afford a 3090.
My 8 Year old is into fs2020. He has £200 from birthday and Christmas money from over a couple years .... Still not enough...I wish I was the type of person who enjoys playing FS2020.

Couldn't you lend him the rest I'm sure he could afford to pay you back when he becomes a pilot.
