Do 4K users need NVIDIA 3080 ???

[BMW969 126]

If  3080 only has 10GB of memory, I don't think you have enough for a good job. Only 3090 !!!🤨

RTX 3080 cards with 20GB VRAM will be coming from AIB partners at a later date.

Looks like the 3090 requires two separate gpu 8 pin cables too. cant use a split one. Going to be a lot of PSU sales too from this! 

Why do you think that? All it says is "2x PCIe 8-pin", nothing about being separate cables. My EVGA 2080ti has two 8 pin connectors and I run it off one cable and pigtail.

And they'll get close to  cost 3090

Sitting in the same boat. But mine is nearly two years old now and I try not to remember what the costs were.

I bought my 2080ti only a few months ago, fully aware that the 3000 series cards might be this impressive.  But hey, with Covid and all and how it impacted me i was in need of some sort of pick me up and the 2080ti was it.

The good news is I won’t have as much drive to rush into a purchase as i would if I was still using my Gtx1070...I can let everything settle out and decide if/what/when I upgrade to a 3000 series card.

Shhhh shhhh they didn't mean that poor GTX 1070....No....I am not browsing the current prices for 1070's on eBay....why?

It specifically tells  you on the nvidia site....

As a 2080ti owner who paid full price.  Not a happy camper

I know how you feel, mate 😅

That 3080 looks promising, indeed. I´m afraid it´ll have to wait a while, the new HP G2 comes first...come on...

RTX 3070 - $500, faster than RTX 2080 Ti

That is very unexpected 👍 Thank goodness for competition. 🙏

Think I'll go for the 3080 in my new rig, 3090 seems like overkill and with the 3080 being 20% faster than the 2080TI (even with a GB less ram) it'll still be a far superior card.

Once optimisation is done on the sim then it'll be more than enough to comfortable run everything on maximum settings. At $699 (£525) its priced very reasonably too.

Now DX12 and DLSS 2.0 should be a priority for MFS so those FPS can finally rocket out.

VRAM needed might rocket with it.

Not with the new technology that compresses it (or something like that I believe!)

I'll hold off until the Supers drop in a year.

I'm very pleased that I resisted the urge to upgrade my 1070 with any of the 20** series cards now, my only real dilemma now is whether to basically get an equivalent 2080TI GPU for £469 or pay another £180 and get the next level up card?
