So does the entire range require a new PSU? I'm not thrilled with that additional cost and hassle.

That said I'm intrigued. I was planning on going 3070, but may step up to the 3080 depending on what AND offers as alternatives.

No.

The PSU requirements are quite modest considering what was being rumoured.

 

[Memorabilia]

So trying to figure how compatible a 3070 would be with my CPU. I have an i5 8400. Would I have to upgrade to at least an i7?

Upgrade to Ryzen with the 3070 and call it a day. Throwing that GPU together with your current CPU would be big time unbalanced.

 

[DanEON]

Come on in 3080, my C9 is ready.

I just wonder if 10gb vram and pcie 3.0 will hold it back.

 

[hangdang69]

Gonna replace my 980Ti with a 3080. Looking forward to it

 

[GHG]

What the...

Yes, that is the backplate...

 

[Memorabilia]

No.

That's good to hear. If I can keep my current PSU this is a no-brainer upgrade from a vanilla 2060. Hopefully AMD is able to bring legit competition. I want to see what they've got on offer before I pull the trigger.

 

[Ascend]

What the...

Yes, that is the backplate...

Guess we know why they're so cheap. They will definitely deliver performance. But power consumption might not really be that great. I guess there is some truth to the rumors of their GPUs being produced by Samsung rather than TSMC. Samsung's 7nm node is inferior but cheaper.

Are there people like actual prefer Zoltac cards?

 

[I_D]

I would typically wait for the 3080ti, but my 980ti just died, so I'm in for the 3080.

I'm not too worried about the PSU requirements, but what about the physical size of the card?
It's hard to tell how big it is from the pictures, but I know the 'leaks' were indicating that these were going to be rather beefy cards.

My 980ti left me with only about 1 millimeter to spare in my current case. Do we know how the 3080 will compare, size-wise?

 

[PanzerAzel]

So can I run Crysis on high settings at 1080/60 with a 3090?

 

[Ascend]

Worth watching;

 

[Mister Wolf]

Checked inside my computer and fortunately I have a 750W power supply. I'm good to go for that 3080.

Their AMP extreme cards are very good.

Typically some of the best factory overclocked cards around and they aren't too expensive either.

They just aren't that popular for some reason.

I can't. My motherboard isn't compatible with Ryzen.

Might be the tacky designs. Think I'm gonna go Gigabyte Windforce again if I cant get a Nvidia FE card.

Get a 8700k if you can find one.

Your current CPU will bottleneck a 3070.

 

[Rentahamster]

I want a 3090 but God trying to order one in September 24th will be a madhouse. Newegg going to crash.

 

[DonMigs85]

should be ok until you reach the point it can't reliably sustain your target framerate anymore. Might as well wait until the DDR5 era to upgrade the motherboard and CPU

Hmm yea, but I want to upgrade my PC for Cyberpunk 2077. So I'm just looking at my options right now.

 

[kiphalfton]

Just saw pictures of the EVGA cards, and man oh man are they ugly.

yup, I know what I'll be getting in about six month

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Even before any actual reveal of the available cards I was gonna lean towards the FE, but now that we've seen all the options I'm definitely going FE,none of the options look attractive.

 

[JLB]

Like it or not, Huang fucking made it again.

 

[magaman]

Depends on what you need. If you don't use a 4k monitor a 3070 will be fast enough imo.

Don't forget high-end VR. The Reverb G2 is gonna require a shit-ton of power.

 

[MiguelItUp]

The ZOTAC cards are fucking WILD lmao. What are they smoking?! Lol.

 

[Vroadstar]

It sucks they killed the 3060 as that was the sweet spot for me. Or hopefully they will announce it on a different date.

Same for me, 3060 range hopefully gets announced in a different date as that range is what I always buy, 660, 1060 and rocking 2060 super now

Would a Ryzen 3600 bottleneck a 3080 too much? I want to finally upgrade my RX580 but unsure whether to go 3070 or 3080.

I game on a mixture of a 1080p and my 4K tv, but mainly on tv outside of VNs, and indie horror. The 3080 sounds great from a longevity standpoint, and I don’t mind getting a new PSU (current is my pretty old 650). Really don’t want to go updating $100s in parts.

I’ve looked up a few benchmarks with a 2080ti (3070ish) and 3600 is close enough to a 3900x for personal comfort.

 

[Airbus Jr]

3090 is 35 teralflops ?

Holy shit

Rip Xbox X and PS5

Not at all at 4K, even at WQHD you should be more than fine.

Do some reading. Or go watch gamers nexus on the matter they will explain that number.

 

[Myths]

 

[GHG]

The 3rd 8 pin power connector will be for the RGB alone.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Thanks, I think I’m gonna grab the 3080 if funds allow for it. I’m gonna keep an eye out for benchmarks closer to release for a final decision.

Also depends on game releases this holiday as I’m probably picking up a PS5 as well If launch lineup is good.

 

[Myths]

I'm hearing Zotac won't have their cards ready until October. At least, the 3080 AMP extreme won't be ready til then I think. Ugh.

2080 Ti cards are already closing at around $700 on eBay

[kiphalfton]

Man, EVGA's FTW3 card is kind of ugly this time round:



Will probably go for the XC3 instead.

Looks like sheet metal that was distorted by uneven heating.

 

[longdi]

Amd has 1-2 weeks to drop big navi leaks.
I can't believe they will stay silent until nov launch. Seems bad if so..

 

[magaman]

Why don't you do some reading? These cards do in fact smoke the PS5 and XSX.

Don't understand why people would pay that price for a used 2080 Ti when Nvidia is already confirming the 3080 will be more powerful for less.

I do wonder if NVidia were hoping to drive down the resale value of the 2080ti, in hopes of further undercutting AMD’s next gen. I suspect $300 or less is what the 2080ti will stagger to now, given 3070 has much more to offer for plenty less.

 

[Xellos]

Started the day thinking 3070, but 3080 being 2-slot and a bit cheaper than expected means it fits my budget and my case. 320 watts though; hope that funky looking cooler is all it's cracked up to be.

 

[GenericUser]

Only 700 for the RTX3080? That sounds very interesting. I'm going to build a gaming PC in fall, so this comes exactly at the right time. Now I need to see what AMD has to offer.

 

[Compsiox]

I'm dumb. I bought my 2080ti in June so I can just step up with Evga.

 

[PleaseDontBanMe]

Does that include the display? Get one that can challenge the RTX 30X0.

just bought a 4k monitor, won't be upgrading anytime soon

 

[Dirk Benedict]

3090 FTW3, 16core CPU, 64GB of DDR4. Going with that. Mobo is nopro and SSD is nopro.

 

[MetalAlien]

Gonna get that 3090 and run that bitch in 1080p!

 

[Anki]

I am curious what is going to happen to all the rtx 2000 cards that are in stores now when 3000 comes out. Will the sell them cheaper or they will be returned to warehouse? Who is going to buy 2080ti for 1200 euros when we will have 3070 for 500.

 

[Pippelipeikko]

Running a 2080ti since launch here, sensible thing is to wait for the 3080ti (14gb) you know it's coming.

There aren't many 2080tis left, if any. Nvidia stopped manufacturing them in July. You can't even find them as sold by Amazon or Newegg (first party) for new anymore.
