Is there a dedicated review thread?

Not surprised, HardwareUnboxed found a mere 8% performance per watt improvement over Turing! Shows how bullshit the 1.7X PPW claims were from Nvidia marketing.
The power draw is horrendous as expected.

The problem is not GPU performance, it's API bottlenecking. There's no hardware that will overcome those kinds of limitations.

He slammed the 5700XT, yet he's an AMD fanboy...?
Not for the amount of power it consumes.

You're getting a nice jump with 2x the traditional raster performance, plus awesome benefit of DLSS in all sorts of games. Solid upgrade and great bang-for-buck as opposed to something like a 2080ti.
TPU has the useful Average FPS for all games tested at any given res, which gives a nice snapshot of what sort frames to expect:
3080 all games avg fps(Ultra/Max Settings) = 1080p/186.7fps | 1440p/154.6fps | 4K/97fps

Oh boy, the efficiency compared to Turing barely increased.
The overall performance might be impressive, but at what cost......

I mean I kind of agree with that, but electricity is very expensive here.
In other countries, like the US, nobody is going to care about it having 1/3rd of the electricity prices

Yep 1080Ti will have an amazing jump . Not so upgrade much on 2080Ti users that they need to start panic yet .

FS2000 will see a big boost when they implement dx12, ATM it's held back by an old API.

3080 looks like a really good 4k card, lower resolutions look CPU limited. I can also see this card excelling in newer game engines.

Wouldn't make sense to upgrade right now. Either wait for the 3080 Ti or until more games start to use full path tracing because in those games the 3080 kicks the 2080 Ti's ass.

TLDR: 3080 at least 30% higher than 2080ti. Upwards of 40. 3080 90% higher than the 2080.

Yeah, I'm not impressed with what I'm seeing so far.
Getting tempted to get a 3080 while I wait for the 3090.
Stay strong.

Those benchmarks are very impressive! The fps you get on 1080p using 2080Ti is the same fps you get on 1440p using a 3080!
The GPU surely consumes power too. 320-322w standard. Many people with not so powerful PSU's will struggle
Got to praise the stock cooling also. They did a great job

Now that everything is out, what is recommended PSU wattage?
(yes, I'm lazy to Google it, so help me out guys)

I've always heard 750 is more than enough. Could be wrong.

Expected, but I was still hoping my 650W platinum EVGA would be good enough. Oh well.
Still, it's gonna be nice upgrade sometimes from my 1080.

man i dont care about the benchmarks. I'm comming from a 1050ti and a shitty monitor and going to a 3080 and a 1440p monitor. going to be huge difference for me cant waitFinally I can play RDR2 properly (coming from 1080Ti)

It is enough. You won't likely reach 600W power consumption, even with the 3080. Unless of course, you do some crazy OC on the CPU side as well.Expected, but I was still hoping my 650W platinum EVGA would be good enough. Oh well.

Nah, I don't bother with OC.
Ascend

You'll be fine then. Especially since your PSU is platinum rated... Take a look at this, and you can extrapolate the power consumption of the 3080.

I'd be sweating if I was trying to run a 3080 on a 650W PSU.

Yeah for PSU I would go a minimum of 750W, I would likely go for a 850W just for the extra headroom with other components in your rig.

That's... better than even I thought.. Unless AMD have invented actual magic I have a feeling this card will be out of stock all year..

looking at that it makes me happy that I could actually sell my Saphire 5700XT at just about 430€ while my initial purchase over black friday ended up being 459€. In total I used a graphic card for ~9months at 29€ having great FPS with all that I have been playing and now I can truly buy a 1440p/4k graphic card I wanted.Finally I can play RDR2 properly (coming from 1080Ti)
I got lucky, finally.

750+ .. Anything less is not worth it
I have a 850w 80+Platinum and I won’t need to change it. Not even thinking of upgrading anytime soon so I’ll stick with my 2080Ti
Unless the 3090 turns out to be something phenomenal then maybe. Also we know that we’re getting super/Ti next year or so.

Better luck next time. Me and my 1080Ti are just fine for another 2 years.

Yes, I'll get a rig set up by early summer '21. 3080 for sure.Bryank75 you still coming back to the PC fold?
But I also decided that I want to get a Cintiq 16 to draw and stuff, so that's another grand probably.
Games I'll probably play are Crusader Kings 3 and other strategy games, I think Civ 6 would be way more enjoyable on PC. Even though I will still found the Religion of PlayStation (LOL).
How's it looking for you?

Glad to hear it. I'm good. Tomorrow is going to be spent trying to get a 3080. I'm looking forward to the PS5 event today. Good day for gamers.

Everyone else did, because it sucked.
But yeah, he is. Or at very least an Nvidia hater, and a notoriously bad one, too.

According to some clowns here that is all useless, you need a 3090 and a 8k display

The writing was on the wall, everyone is trying those clever upscaling tricks because we're deep into the diminishing returns housefire era of hardware.
Intel lost to AMD the moment they couldn't just push their cores to the max without melting everything, this is no different.
Eventually they will just have an official statement, "sorry to everyone that got fooled into buying native 4K hardware lolmao" and give up.

Hardware Unboxed disagrees about it sucking, along with a bunch of other reputable review sites. The 5700XT was the best card you could buy for the money. In fact, for 1440p, FPS per dollar wise, it still is, even after today's reviews. At 4K, the RTX 3080 is the best value right now in terms of FPS per dollar. I get the feeling that's going to change soon.
As for him being an nVidia hater, well, he was arguing for RTX over the 5700XT, which to me was always ridiculous. It's more that people pretend that nVidia shouldn't get any criticism, and anyone that does is a hater. nVidia doesn't get enough criticism at all. Look how many defended the RTX 2000 series, and now it's quite evident what a ripoff it was. Obviously barely anyone that bought one or were cheering for them will admit it though. Look at the GTX 970 and its 3.5GB. People still remember that card in a positive light. An insignificant power draw issue on the RX480? AMD BAD!!
If the RTX 3000 series was made by nVidia, everyone would be worrying about how power hungry it is despite it being fast, and that they would wait a month for the competitor. But somehow, the other way around, everyone simply considers the competitor late for some weird reason.

How quickly do you guys think scalped 3080s will sell out on eBay at twice the MSRP ($1,399)? Do you guys think that people would buy them at that price if they're unavailable at official retailers?
Ascend
Member
Some people definitely will buy them at that price. I think even at those prices they will sell out quite quickly.
Remember that miners are also looking to buy these cards.

What happened to VFXVeteran? Why'd he get banned, not seeing the reason on the ban history list.

He went a little extra with the pcmr stuff. I don't care for the ban but he'll be back. I'm looking forward to hearing his thoughts on the 3000 series.

Bummer, I love him being a part of the conversation.

I'm really thinking that the 3080 is gonna be the perfect 3440x1440 card. Slightly less demanding than full 4k but looks better than 1440p. The few benchmarks I've seen make UW performance look very good. Though I've not seen any benchmarks from anyone that I trust, just random Youtubers so who knows. But it would make sense that the card works super well at Ultrawide resolutions.
Supposedly 9 AM EST, not sure what that translates to for you. But I wager there will be early releases on some websites so I'd be prepared. I already set up my Account on Nvidia so hopefully I can just add to cart and check out.
