But dont cry if the 3080 TI comes out in September/October and u would have been able to get it for the same price u paid for your 2080TI now!

Never buy Pre-Release, especially in that region of prices. 

 

I suspect that someone who drops that kind of money on a gpu doesn't have this kind of problem, he'll just buy a 3080ti when it comes out.

Dont forget your buying a new power supply also to run the new Nvidia 3000 series cards they have propitiatory 12 pin connectors and require more power

Not sure, probably 1480p on a ultrawide screen.

Hm, you sound a bit like a party-pooper.

I'm not made of money, but I don't spent too much on things that maybe many others value more than me. Also, I've been pretty lucky with my last card which was gtx980ti that I bought back in 2016. The next gen cards (the 10X0ti etc) weren't big enough of an upgrade for me to justify the cost. The 2080ti signifies a 100% upgrade in regards to frames on many modern games, but we shall see. I have a i7-6700k @4.5ghz and 16gb of ram, and which is often the case with upgrades, I might just end having up upgrade other bottleneck-components later 🙂

Has that been confirmed now about the connector? I've been reading conflicting reports about that, some saying that it's unlikely that will be the case for consumer level cards because of likely loss of sales for card upgrades, especially in competition with AMD.

I remember buying my first 3DFX card back in the day . No way I would've thunk video cards @ $1500 and up

right...back then the CPU was king and the most expensive single part you had to buy...Good GPU's were around $200 and the best CPU's were over $1,000...nowdays they've switched roles/pricing structure.

I'm waiting for the Ampere cards too, rumor is they will be available in September.

Until then I simply put my old GTX970 into my new Ryzen 3700 PC.  It will be good enough for a month or two after releaase.
