Trio X only $20 more than a Ventus?
If it's as good as the Turing Trio X that's pretty sweet
Afaik yes, he mentioned on ass creed that he actually upped the quality presets vs last tests where the 5700xt lagged even the 2060s and this time it beat both the 2070s and 2060s. Outside of drivers I don't know what explains pretty much all around increases in performance over time vs the 2060s and 2070s.
Con some of the people who are down on the 1080p/1440 numbers explain something to me? I can understand why that would be a good reason to not bother upgrading at all, but if it's CPU limited, why would you want to wait for the RDNA2 chips, which would probably be similarly CPU limited? Why wouldn't you be disapointed in the CPU performance, instead of the part that is being limited?

MSI Gaming X Trio seems to be one of the best deals also the fucking strix tax jesus christ.
That card better can heal cancer or something like that to justify the price
+72% across all 4K benchmarks is pretty close to 2X actually - and it's even closer to 2X in games which hit h/w the hardest. This gap between 2080 and 3080 will grow with more next gen games arriving on PC.
They really haven't. A100 is a server chip and the differences are apparent. GA10x aren't purely for gaming of course but no NV GPU was since around G80.
It's not going to be "easily possible". Navi 21 will have it's own issues with scaling the performance across the WGPs.
Projections so far are putting Navi 21 at double the number of SIMDs of Navi 10 - which coincidentally is what you can have with +50% perf/watt gain in 300W.
This however will not result in doubling of actual performance, similarly to how doubling of FP32 SIMDs hasn't with Ampere (albeit Navi 2x has a higher chance of hitting more here since it's doubling WGPs, not SIMDs inside them).
Unless RDNA2 will be significantly more area efficient than RDNA1 NV won't "waste" any die space in comparison despite having more h/w on it. So a bad comparison really.
The review show the 3080 FE was at 1950ish out of the box even with the power limit. So unless Ampere can hit past 2000mhz on air I'm not sure if it can go any higher due to the chip itself. AIB will still provide better cooling and lower noise level though.
Changing the quality presets may result in a completely different end results picture. So this isn't the same benchmark already.
Again, if the benchmarking suite is different then there can be no attribution of performance changes to drivers.
Different set of games - or even the same games with different settings - will produce a different set of results which may or may not be comparable to the previous ones.
And AFAIR HWU benchmarking is mostly DX12/VK these days - and these renderers are not very "friendly" to driver level optimizations which throws another wrench into this theory.
He only mentioned changing presets for ass creed and even then it's higher presets... New games were death stranding and horizon. Big aaa new releases that people care about the perf for. All the other games previously tested.
Okay, the latter is heavily skewed towards AMD h/w so this explains the results to me really.
Lol so don't include 2 of the biggest new games of the last several months in an update vid...
Got an alert about gigabyte cards being available on newegg, went to the site, clicked "add to cart", met with "this item is no longer available" -_-
I got a ASUS strix 1080ti a few years back and it's done well for me so I was thinking of getting theirs again but now I see it's $100 more than other brands, what are you paying for in this case? My understanding is other brands are just as good. I've not kept up with PC stuff since my last build in 2015 so would like a bit of help here.
Any idea when are the AIB reviews going online? Hope it is not at the same time as preorders start
Last on the street is that AIB sales and AIB reviews go up at same time, 3PM CEST.
Or don't make assumptions about drivers when you're changing your benchmarking suite with games which clearly favor one IHV over another. Just a thought.
So about pin connectors...
I have one 8 and one 6+2 (2 is not connected) connected to my 2070. And there is another 8 pin connector doing fuck all in the case. Am I set for a 3080? Or do I need proper 8 pins?
This whole thing made me realize I don't know anything about psus.

All testing should be done with the Metro Exodus train ride and in Crysis 3 only.
Bonus rumor: https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-teases-geforce-rtx-3080-with-20gb-memory
Do we have a somewhat conclusive answer on whether the 10 GB VRAM is enough for...lets say, the next 3 to 4 years?
I know this has been talked about to death all over, but I (a person not particularly knowledge about subjects such as graphics cards and VRAM) have gotten really lost in the weeds-y back & forth of that whole discussion.

Sadly Crysis 3 would not run, digital Foundry tried that in a lot of ways but was not able to get the game running on the 3080 FE.
check out this thread its very very good

But right now it feels like a paper launch on Nvidia's side honestly. Not sure the coming months will count that much number wise.( I don't think amd has something in 3080 range either..)
I'm sure this has been asked before but is the review embargo for AIBs the same moment they're available for purchase? Do reviewers even have any of these cards?
Yup. Reviews and sale goes live in the same moment. I am pretty sure the reviewers have the cards for tests, but they are embargoed by the companies.
God this dance of ordering a card while simultaneously checking the reviews in another tab to see if it's not shit is going to be fun!
Sounds relaxing and totally fun /s
Yeah not sure who was having the idea to make it so complicated.
So I am not planning to OC my card. Is the FE card my best bet? Does the boost in core clocks (in base AIB models) make any discernable difference or only a minimal FPS gain?
at this point I would assume that buying a 30xx (excluding 90) card locks you into a 40xx purchase. If the rumours of a 20GB 3080 are true, then that'll be the only long lasting card.
Please don't link MLID videos here, he has posted false and misleading information in the past.
Gamer's Nexus has gone to address this the fact that memory allocation and memory usage are two completely different things. A game can allocate all of the VRAM you have available and Windows taskmaster will show this as well, but actual memory usage is completely different then what is being allocated.

Isn't death stranding a Nvidia sponsored title? There is marked improvement in several Nvidia titles. It isn't just the inclusion of horizon as the 5700xt doesn't have some huge gap there that creates a big outlier anyway. He always points out outliers as well. Hardware unboxed noted drivers as a source of improvement over time. I'm sorry for posting a vid that shows solid 5700xt performance and a 3080 unboxing I guess...
MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio Review
The GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio is MSI's flagship RTX 3080. It comes with a large overclock out of the box, and the cooler is massive. This is the fastest RTX 3080 we've tested so far, and it's the quietest as well. Wow, and that with a classic triple-fan design that doesn't use any fancy...
So the MSI is the best card they've tested so far, but it's not a wide range
If you're not OCing, it's usually good. Looks like the OC headroom isn't great on any card reviewed today anyway.
I would rather under- then overclock. Noise Level is what's keeping me from clicking on buy
Edit: Bought it - we'll see. I can always send it back. Timing is the worst though, gonna go on a one week vacation tomorrow...

The powerlimit makes it practically pointless to look for anything other than the quietest GPU, the range for overclocking is 2-5% max.
I think I will actually go for a 3090, watercooling is also nearly pointless on a 3080 because of this.
You may be able to do a little more by lowering the voltage via the curve editor, because the GPU needs less power with that, but Nvidia has probably optimized it to the edge this time (unlike with 1080 and 2080).

Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC 10G Review - OC3D
Introduction We’re sure that anyone with half an interest in the new Ampere GPU from Nvidia will be aware that the RTX 3080 is an absolute beast. Not only does it out-perform the RTX 2080 Ti that was the object of desire for the hardcore gamers over the last two years, but it does so […]
MLD is a garbage channel.

Custom RTX 3080 cards are here!
With a new family of video cards comes the custom AIB options from the board partners! We kick off the custom 3080 cards with the EVGA RTX 3080 XC3 card feat...

Not impressed by this EVGA card.
Why? I've only heard of them recently. Are they often wrong about things?

MLID just takes info from tweets and other sources, then repeats them back to you while adding some of his own bullshit on top of that. He basically flings shit at the wall and hopes some of it will stick.
I watched this and Optimum Tech's review on the TUF.
The thermals are amazing - under 70C under gaming load. Going to try my best to get my hands on one of these.
