PC The official RTX 3000 series launch event thread & subsequent quest to strive in vain to find one!

[stepee]

Well, I didn’t want to build a pc right now anyway so I guess this works out so I can hope for a 3080ti for $1000 or whatever that is pretty much the 3090 but with less vram or something.

im really debating trying to get the 3080 now before im even ready for a build since these will probably be hard to get....

yes because the AMD Ryzen 4 series will come out in this year as well so you can get that when you're ready as well

[stepee]

wait so did anyone claim vic’s current card yet and if so where do i sign up to claim this one now to get it in early

I really need to seem independent benchmarks on the 3080, if it really is twice as fast as the 2080 that is insane

Weren't they saying twice as fast with RTX on?

 

We do need independent benchmarks.

[TwinIon]

I really don't think I can justify a 3090, but I think a 3080 will be a worthwhile upgrade to my 2080 Super. Still, I want to see benchmarks first.

 

 

 

Also, I'm interested in the nVidia broadcast studio app, mostly for the voice part. I've been using the RTX voice app they launched a while back, and it really does a great job of cutting out background noise both from what I'm transmitting and what I'm receiving. Unfortunately, it's buggy as hell and hasn't been getting updates. I have to restart it almost every time I use my mic, or all I do is broadcast static. Hopefully that kind of thing will be fixed.

also 8k may sound like meh who cares but vr tho

So Nvidia's been toying with the SSD -> GPU direct idea for a while.  I'm assuming this comes in addition to the DirectStorage API Microsoft developed:

 

https://blocksandfiles.com/2019/11/19/nvidia-gpu-direct-magnum-io/

 

It's a different approach than PS5, which does decompression before data hits either the CPU/GPU.  NVIDIA's idea meanwhile is to offload some decompression to the GPU instead of the CPU, and letting it pull directly from the SSD.

PC can brute force things now more efficiently than just stacking more RAM onto the problem.  The only question is how that decompression impacts the GPU, and what block handles it.

I'm on board. 3090 is just too much for personal use, but the 3080 will be mine along with an entirely new PC.

Yea, the next Valve Index coupled with a 3090 is

[Ominous]

The 3090 and my 970 EVO Plus are gonna have a great relationship.

With a 2080 Ti, I’m torn on what to do here. Given the price/performance of the 3070 I don’t think I could sell my 2080 Ti for much, and then there’s the thought of “should I just wait for a 3080 Ti” in the back of my mind. 

Exactly where my head is too. So is the 3080Ti still a possibility here? I love my Rig now, I knew the highend would be a monster, but this WOW! with there still being talk about a possible 3080Ti and a 3090Ti? Fuck ME! Wouldn't my complete rig bottleneck this beast? i7 9700k, 32gigs ddr4 3200mhz ? God this shit is exciting but the cost and the availability will be harsh. Next year for Christmas maybe  I'll get a 3090 / 3080Ti and be good for the next 4 years no matter what.

I am with Vic on this. Now I just need Ryzen 4 and I can finally upgrade my 6700K.

 

Though the 3080 might be easier to get so if Microcenter has preorders I will preorder.

[HGLatinBoy]

I expect there to be 3080ti for $1300 and a 3090ti for $2000

digital foundry did a 2080 v 3080 comparison. They can't show FPS but they can show performance differential, looks like a 70-75% boost on average

I love the part where he says "HDMI 2.1"

[ThreePi]

It seems like it may be tough for AMD to compete with Big Navi. I'd be upgrading from a 1080 and the 3080 at $700 seems like a pretty good deal.

You say it a lot on these boards that's all I'm referring to.

OK, a few things I picked up from the current Reddit AMA with Nvidia:

 

1.) No pre-orders for FE cards, first come, frst served on each cards respective launch days (3080 17 of Sept, 3090 24th of Sept)

2.)12 pin power adapter will be provided

3.) AIBs may be same day or very close to FE sales

yea it does, it's a gr8 time to upgrade form the 10series! makes my card look like a chump. I knew this going in, but DAMN! I just bought this card {2080Ti} I need to just be happy to have what I have and move on, this is blowing my mind. Also, having lost everything in the world to the camp fire, at least going on from here I'll have a great GPU to throw in and test stuff, troubleshoot, etc. 

[HardAct]

Why does the power cable have to always be infront? Our cases would be that much more neat if it plugged in the right side down at the bottom, just a thought!

[Brick]

I'll just stick with my 2080Ti and wait for the next batch after these. I'm still only 1440p on a 60Hz monitor after all.

Yeah, with that setup, you are still more than good! 

[Mr.Vic20]

Interesting to DLSS 2.0 gain much better support than v1. With Cyberpunk, COD:BLOPS-Cold War (Jesus Christ, get a better name!), Fortenight, Watch Dogs 3, Minecraft, and WOW, and more on the way, it would seem Nvidia has finely made the hurdle to incorporating it low enough to make it worth developer's time. 

[stepee]

I may not be getting a pc next year but I’m still super pumped by these, awesome improvements. 

[Spork3245]

The thing that has me on the fence for upgrading my 2080 Ti is the huge performance improvement for ray-tracing

Hey some of use don't care about cable management.

I think that applies more if you order directly from nvidia. My current game plan is see if microcenter offers preorders. If they do I will preorder the 3080 and sit it on it. If I can get a 3090 preorder I will go with that one.

 

The 3080 looks like a good upgrade from my 5700XT but I feel the 3090 is more of the ideal upgrade. My ultrawide monitor is almost 4k in terms of the pixel count. I can in the far future upgrade to a ultrawide 4k monitor. Plus my TV is 12ish years old and the speakers in it are dying and I have picture quality issues so I am probably gonna upgrade. It's a super expensive card but if I can get 4k 60+ FPS for the next 3 some odd years that be epic.

Yup, that only applies to FE's purchased through Nvidia!
