When are the RTX 3090 reviews out
- Thread starter Petrolhead
- Start date
Top tier card has never been good value for money, people pay extra for the best. In this case, I'm sure there'll be lots of buyers not quite comfortable with the 10GB VRAM for 4k either, who'll move up the tier to the 3090.
Lol
And you’re surprised because?
Only thing that surprises me is that they’ve waited this long to do so.
Awaiting reviews and if worth it, will get a FE.
Lol
Maybe i is stupid and don't understand these things as well as i should do. But can someone explain to me how a Bot can create an account ? Put in it's banking details and on quite a few websites navigate a CaptCha as well ?

Ouch well I did think 10% was too low to be real but as other have said <20% is definitely in the diminishing returns section. It should come with a free SUCKA temp tattoo for that price
LOL! It's the World famous and inevitable Gibbo gouge, I wonder what the excuse will be?
Excuse Bingo:
1. Exchange rate.
2. Limited stock.
3. NV/AIB's made me do it.
4. Ducks returning to Peru blown off course by El Nino.
You're missing 5.
"Customers negative reaction to being gouged (as the website was dying a death) after being done a "favour" and being sold the cards at MSRP for a limited number means that we will just gouge you all straight away now".

Some good news for the folks waiting for the 3090. This was taken from https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/ix9zcg/early_msi_geforce_rtx_3090_gaming_x_trio/
To summarise:
So it looks like the Chinese leaks from the weekend were off by quite a margin (10% in some cases).
- Time Spy (graphics): 20569 vs 17645 (via arstechnica). 16.6% Increase
- Time Spy Extreme (graphics): 10560 vs 8798 (via arstechnica). 20% Increase
- Assassin's Creed Odyssey (4K/Maxed): 71 vs 63 (via arstechinica) 12.7% Increase
- Horizon Zero Dawn (4K/Ultimate Quality): 86 vs 73 (via techspot) 17.8% Increase
- Shadow of the Tomb Raider (4K/Maxed/DLSS/No RT): 112 vs 103 (via guru 3D) 8.7% Increase
- Shadow of the Tomb Raider (4K/Maxed/DLSS/RT): 82 vs 69 (via pcgamer) 18.8% Increase
He shows a box and the card in place but conveniently covers the RTX designation on the card in his PC with his user name written on paper.... I call BS on this dude, he doesn't show the actual 3090 at any point.

Hmm, just noticed Techpowerup updated their 'relative performance' graph. I'm not sure when this was updated, though wouldn't be surprised if their 3090 review numbers have been fed into this!

I'd hoped for 15-20%, looks like we get 19% on average in their test suite, with the 10GB VRAM limitation removed of course.
You chopped off the 1080p bit

That's true. You're not going to lose money in the current climate.
First response so ??
As I said, Nvidia are pushing the gaming side of the card.

I don't agree with the way you're saying it but due diligence is required when spending that amount of money on a graphics card.
That or this random reddit poster is off by quite a margin compared to the Chinese leakers with the proven track record.it looks like the Chinese leaks from the weekend were off by quite a margin (10% in some cases).
Also this guy has used DLSS for a number of tests so they're pretty worthless as most people paying over a grand for a GPU will want to use decent settings.
But dlss is better than native

People need to stop getting sucked in to this world of I must have the newest tech now! Just wait it out , Pc games are not going any where , if anything pc games will run better in 3 or 4 months time when new drivers are released for them , I would like 3090 myself but I am not pre ordering one ill just wait until stock becomes available , if you go by past releases of next gen cards your looking at 3 -4 months before supply becomes stable. Come Jan everyone will be able to buy one mark my words, I defo wont be buying from oc ! Still can’t believe they get away with charging customers £20 for delivery in 2020 when I know for a fact it cost them know where near that to ship out cards.
