Going to be a supply and demand issue for those cards also even at twice the price of a 3080?

There is certainly going to be a demand. Not only is this the top-end card that many people will want no matter the price premium, but it is also the replacement of the TITAN RTX which means this card will be essential for content creators, 3D rendering, AI workloads and so on.

NVIDIA have already confirmed publicly that supply is going to be very low at launch.

I managed to pick up 2 here in the U.K. 

Seems easier than the 3080, however I’m still not sure I’ll keep it. Seems like the 3080 will win with 20gb ram. 

At the moment I doubt i'm gonna buy a 3090 as it only offers a little difference gaming performance to a card half the price.  I'm gonna hold off for a bit to see the pricing on the 20GB 3080 option.  How funny it was that I was so convinced that I was gonna get one thinking it would offer at least the same difference in performance between the 2080 vs 2080ti......reality seemed to serve me a surprise.

TBH even a 3070 may be CPU locked for most people. 

Think there will be a 3070 with double the vram? 22 is it?

Gigabyte have talked about there upcoming GV-N307SGAMING OC-16G which seems to be a 3070  Super with 16GB .

22GB seems unlikely.

A 3080 with double the VRAM (20GB) is confirmed.  I really want to dive in and get a 'normal' 3080, but knowing the demands of MSFS, should I wait for the 20GB version?  I don't know if I can wait LOL! 😁

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

get an evga, then you can step up.  The 20GB is not important for any gaming workload except flightsim of course.

There will also be a 12GB GA102 card, maybe called RTX 3080 Ti. With a 384-bit bus and likely more SMs enabled, it should perform closer to the RTX 3090.

With so many people reporting CPU utilization that’s below 30% i think a GPU like the 3070 could still do a lot of good. Now when the large study sim airliners show up all bets are off.

You can wait forever, I was going to order a new PC 2 years ago, then I heard the 20XX Supers were coming, was waiting, then heard the 10900k were coming, then just I was going to buy the 3000 where coming, you have to pull the trigger at some point or you will wait forever. The 3080 was my trigger. Order in sig. My plan as always is order the most I can afford and 3 years later order a new GFX so 3 years it will be 4000? but am sure a 3080 and 1080x1920 will be fine for another 3 years then a new card and upto 4k.

What ever you buy a better one is just around the corner. A carrot on a stick.....Dog chasing its tail....on it goes. If you wait long enough you can get a 32GB  VRAM card it will never end. Also 4k is different to 1080.
