Glad I didn't wait for ampere, these prices are ridiculous

 

[martino]

It's effectively minimal, isn't it? Here's KZ Shadowfall's footprint.

surely a good exemple for an average /s

 

[Sgt.Asher]

I have a 980. I'm thinking the way i upgrade, every 5-10 years, a 3090 may be worth it.

 

[Rickyiez]

Sorry, what I meant was the 970 was really fine during its time despite the vram disadvantage.

 

[orosballs]

I have a FE 2080 and just play with a 1080p 144hz monitor...thinking I'll wait till the next round if the cards cost THAT much to upgrade...

 

[celsowmbr]

I will never have money to buy it, but ok

 

[Bkdk]

Will be a worthy upgrade, rtx3090 will last the whole gen plus allowing many different mods installations from old to near future games, the more mod support for games the more worth the 3090 would be.

 

[kiphalfton]

Any chance we will see AIO 3090s, and if so, they could be a shorter length?

I'm rocking a Meshify C case, I could swing the 3 slots and PSU requirements, but really don't want to rearrange my whole fan setup to try and fit this massive card.

Meshify C GPU supported length is 315mm with fans installed, or about 12.4 inches. If the leaked pics of this are real then I would be worried about even the AIB manufacturers putting something together that isn't going to be pushing up to the front of your case. This card is already 3 GPU slots thick, and if it runs hot they're going to need all the surface area they can for the heatsink. So it will be either taller or as wide.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

10GB? Will wait for benchmarks.

 

[Hostile_18]

Could the 3080 surprise us all and be significantly cheaper given the massive difference in Ram?

Also if games aren't really using all that ram in the 3090 today by the time any where near 24 will be utilised won't the card be outdated in other ways?

 

[kiphalfton]

I believe that we would see very different pricing as soon as AMD can get their sorry asses in gear (of which I am a fanboy of). Bloody monopoly.

You pay through the teeth for a premium product. Nvidia, Apple, Intel, etc. Not even mad. They offer quality products, they know it, and they price accordingly. Like you alluded to, it's the competitions fault.

 

[llien]

Some OLEDs support G-Sync which games them good for PC gaming with this new card!

Those OLED support legit VRR standard too.

I have a 980. I'm thinking the way i upgrade, every 5-10 years, a 3090 may be worth it.

3090 certainly does not look like a card that would last 5-10 years.

We will almost certainly see 3090 AIOs but probably not at launch. Shorter? Maybe. I'm guessing the FE PCB won't really be "the reference" so they might use a different one for AIO.

Paying 2K for a GPU... just to play console ports and Fortnite.

 

[fermcr]

These GPU's are getting absurdly expensive.

 

[Rentahamster]

I really hope AMD comes out with a competitive alternative and drives down these prices.

 

[Barakov]

Pretty soon PC cases are going to be the size of refrigerators.

 

[magaman]

If the 3090 is around 2k, I'm gonna get it, I expected more.

A fool and his money.

 

[Strider Highwind]

Got a 2080 Super. I'm gonna go for the 3090 prolly lol

 

[Ulysses 31]

This 3 slot 3090 better come with a good cooler that's not too loud either.

I always go EVGA hybrid (water cooled). Cool and silent.

Just to play console ports, LOL
Some former Sony exclusives, all Xbox exclusives, some pc exclusives and better versions of console ports (most of the time)

Aham

 

[Mister Wolf]

If this club 3d 4k 120hz adapter for the 2080ti didn't exist I would definitely consider a 3080 or 3090.

 

[johntown]

While I would not mind getting the 3090 it seems like it is the Titan version with a different name. I usually wait for the ti version anyway and the way the 3090 looks it will be a good upgrade from my current 1080ti.

You just listed off mostly console ports...

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

But those are the best versions of those games, in addition to pc exclusives. Best of all worlds. You can play Sony, Xbox, nintendo, dreamcast, etc games as well.

 

[Thugnificient]

PC Gaming has become a joke. Beside mod support and high end emulation is nothing that justefies that big pricegap anymore if u play mainstream games.

Considering how console gamers are making a big deal out of SSD’s, backwards compatibility and game upgrades to their next-gen consoles, all features that have been standard on PC for a while, I would say this post rings hollow.

Damn straight!

 

[zcaa0g]

So buy a 3080 and then a 4080 which will beat a 3090 by the time a 3090 truly matters. Then again, the 3090 might matter now with the looming Reverb G2. Decisions, decisions.

Mod support isn't some trivial thing.

 

[ColonialRaptor]

Please AMD I beg you we need some competition in the pc gpu space.

 

[Tesseract]

on the dev side, thank you for listening

the 3080 numbers are lower than expected tho

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Near infinite backwards compatibility and free online are also great reasons. Far cheaper games. 60fps or higher support. edit: what B BacklashWave534 said as well.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I've been playing blade runner lately. Can you play that on your console?

 

[Sgt.Asher]

3090 certainly does not look like a card that would last 5-10 years.

Why do you say that? Legitimately curious.

 

[The Pleasure]

Playstation Classic and emulating an old Windows computer on it

 

[FlyyGOD]

3080 still has less vRAM than the 1080ti? Seems odd.

GDDR 6

 

[Hostile_18]

Actually soon, yes. A console remake/remaster is coming

Seems Nvidia, because 3090 with 24GB will require a kidney donation....

World of Warcraft? Your post was ignorant. That's all I'm saying.

World of Warcraft?

Sorry I'm not into chinese slave labor.

lol. Sure, buddy.

Game over for these next gen consoles.

I don't see any console priced at $2000.......More and more people are willing to pay more for high end GPU's, but that market segment is so small and realistically no dev is going to leverage that power.......So people generally spend all that money just to game at higher resolutions and higher framerates from games created and founded on much lower specs.....Essentially, the graphics and experience is the same as someone playing at 1080p 60fps...

Not remotely correct. LOD is higher. Geometery, shadoows, lighitng, effects. Games are more than just resolution and framerate.

 

[supernova8]

Agreed.

The only justification I can come up with is that it a lot of things other than play games, but yeah if you're not any major video/photo editing there's no reason to get these crazily priced GPUs. Here's hoping AMD comes out with a nice price-performance beast to force NVIDIA to rethink its pricing but it probably won't happen.

If anything, higher PC component prices ends up giving them a reason to price the consoles higher. They can say 'hey look you're still technically getting a much better deal than PC!'

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I must have missed where any of these were priced at 2k? I thought the 3090 was 1400? Still more than I'm willing to pay mind you. I'll be perfectly fine with a 3080.

 

[Arun1910]

That VRAM jump is insane between the 3080 and 3090... 3090 it is.
