I'm not sure if this thought is pessimistic about the release time of the 3080, or optimistic about an eventual full release of Star Citizen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedarkstark Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I'm pretty confident in the next 3 weeks we'll all get one, if I don't I'll probably just settle for a 3070. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spork3245 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 3080 Comparison Sheet - Google Drive DOCS.GOOGLE.COM Google Doc someone put together for the different models I definitely would like to get the EVGA FTW Ultra or the MSI Gaming-X Trio. They seem to have the best values in regards to cooler and pre-OC’d clock speeds which should make the gap between the 3080 and 3090 virtually non-existent (if those leaked benchmarks are true).

stepee Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 well that’ll make it even harder to get a 3080 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Since we built GeForce RTX 3090 for a unique group of users, like the TITAN RTX before it, we want to apologise upfront that this will be in limited supply on launch day. We know this is frustrating, and we’re working with our partners to increase the supply in the weeks to come. — NVIDIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Yeah, I mean it’s obviously nowhere close to worth $800 extra so people who otherwise might have tried to go after a 3090 will now be joining us in the impossible 3080 battle.

Oh I know, but if stock is so constrained right now, Nvidia might be banking on people buying the 3090 out of desperation. It's cynical and I hope I'm wrong, but if Nvidia can only make lets say 10,000 cards right now--it's in their best interest to sell as many of those at double the price as possible. Scalping and low inventory are gonna drive the cost of the 3080 up to $1K+ anyway, so might as well sell them at an inflated price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spork3245 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 The 3090 makes absolutely no sense, you’d be so much better off waiting on the 20gb 3080 if VRAM concerns you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 In a way the pricing still worked out better than I assumed. I expected the 3080 to be more like a 2080ti in performance, and there to be a 3080ti that had the gains of the 3080 for $1200 or whatever. So overall I’m happy with just the 3080 exceeding expectations for its price and the 3090 just being the weird Titan equivalent made solely for vic to buy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think originally the rumors were (for the 3080) 10% better than the 2080 Ti, BUT, no performance loss under ray-tracing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
