Aye, I'm very much aiming for a 3080, but even a 3070 outclasses most cards on the market right now and I wouldn't be disappointed if it was what I ended up with in the card-rush.

The 3090 is the replacement for the RTX Titan, a $2,500 card.
I just see it like a Titan card. Not really for everyday users. Just go with a 3080 or if you want to wait, a possible Ti card later for a top of the line PC
They usually do, at least the Founder's Edition on launch day.
I have a 10% coupon at Best Buy so I'm hoping one of the EVGA 3080 cards go up, otherwise, I'm just going to buy it from whichever retailer I can get it first at.
What? No, the 2080ti and 2080 definitely supports vram pooling via NVlink. I know because I've been using it for heavy architectural rendering the past few months.
And suddenly the $1499 card is not so expensive anymore.
LMAO
LOL! I don't think many Mini-ITX builders will be attempting to cram a 3090 into their little miniature cases, but this is still pretty funny.
Thats because the 3090 is just a Titan but renamed. Its not even Nvidias flagship the 3080 is.
Going by official case specs. I have 5mm of clearance length wise, i'm good to go on the 3080.
Is it tho?
I feel like only place that is positioning 3090 as "Titan" is this thread.
All these partner cards look like a cheap plastic bomber with the same design. In addition for a much higher price for what? A few % more performance and maybe better cooling. I just don't get it.
The TUF gaming laptop series recently also run very hot due bad cooling solution. Personally I would stay away from anything with TUF in its name.
LMAO
I'm looking forward to seeing how batshit miniITX builds with a 3090 are going to look like...
Yeah, I had been planning on selling my 2070 Super to offset but I wonder how much I'll even get on it by then...
Yeah though it's quite obvious you can't have a quality build for under $1000 with the gpu taking up over half the budget. It was a nice idea but it's quite obvious the system would be severely lacking.
I asked this yesterday but I think it got lost in the shuffle.
If I have an NZXT 510i case with an AIO (so the fans are placed at the front inside) would that case fit any of the 3080s they've announced?

I'm really hoping that's the case, that would definitely be the ideal choice
You mean other than Nvidia who literally transitioned from talking about the Titan to talking about the 3090?
I've seen you mention it several times. You seem to be pretty concerned over owning the best model.
Just realize that the way you feel now with your 2080 ti is the same way you're going to feel again with a 3090 after a year or two when there's a new architecture overhaul and there's another new hot thing on the market. My advice is to learn to have more contentment and satisfaction with your hardware that you purchase, and with life in general. (Unless you want to get on the cycle of selling your GPU annually every time it becomes 1 year old.) Appreciate what you have, not what's missing. You don't need a new graphics card every 1-2 years.
Yep, there's so much of this going on right now. It's ridiculous.
It also shows you how little foresight there is in the process with some folks. They had to continue having 'the very best' for one additional month rather than planning ahead and selling their cards for nearly full day1 value. That it's more of a reaction to: there's something better than what I have now, so I need it immediately.
It seems so visceral, reactionary, and vein. Definitely not a calculated or performance-based decision. Just "I need X thing bc reasons". Especially when they're rushing to sell their 2080 Ti's at massive losses for like $450; They certainly really weren't that in-love with their current card to begin with.
I don't understand this uncomfortabilty with not having the best card at all times. It's more of a personality trait than anything to do with hardware capability. It's a 'State of mind' thing. They were really happy about having the best performing card on the market last week.
The bottom line is that if anyone is spending time wrestling with the idea of getting 3090, then it's definitely not the card for you. The 3090 is only the card for people that can afford one without a moment's hesitation or even a second thought. The 3080 has MUCH better value.
(I'm really not talking about you here, Tovarisc. Not intending for this to sound personal in any fashion, but this is a common recurring theme among people this week. It's an interesting phenomenon. Lots of hand-wringing over the prospects of 3090.)
See this decision is SO EASY. That you struggle with it at all means that you already have your answer.
Double the price for only a roughly ~20% performance increase.
There's a reason why Jensen stated the RTX 3080 is Nvidia's "flagship card" this time around. He wanted to help everyone out with their perception of the lineup.
I'll find a way to fit mine into an M1, mark my words.
Thanks for that very condescending tone and message, just what I needed <3
One of my work colleagues has said he might be interested in purchasing my 2080ti for £500. Dunno if that's a good price?
I'm very torn between the 3080 and 3090. The 3090 seems like overkill but the 10GB of VRAM on the 2080 is giving me pause.

Huh so it works on certain applications, just seen a article for vray, interesting.
I've heard the founders editions of these cards are prone to problems? How true is that because I don't know if I have the ability to wait months for the MSI version
I think you're getting stiffed. That's the lowest I've seen them go for so you might as well wait for prices to rebound.
Yeah, it's a PITA to get working in windows but I've definitely gotten it to work with Vray and Daz/iray. I think the new 2.90 release of Blender supports it natively too.
I think I'll hold my 2080Ti at least until there's a 3080 model with more ram, i was very interested in the 3090 but the experience of paying so much for the 2080Ti made me realize I don't want to be in the same position 2 years from now.
I would think rebound is very unlikely, especially when 3070 is out out next month.
The 3080 is the top end. The 3090 is an enthusiast product.
lmaoLMAO
you know what? You guys were right. All of these non-reference AIB cards are fucking hideous.
But at the end of the day, if you're going AIB it's for the promise of superior cooling and OC'ing potential. I look forward to the reviews. If they don't have markedly lower temps than the FE's, I'm 100000% going FE. If they are a lot better, I'll get the ugliest card I can find because fuck it.
Actually, that was the price I initially floated though I did make it clear I'd need to check the market before settling for a final price (minus a buddy discount haha).
This week is definitely not the time to sell a used card. If you waited this long then you might as well wait it out a little longer until prices rebound.
Yes even Nvidia says it is. Its pretty obvious when you look at the price point and the specs
It's being referred to as a titan replacement and it's build certainly seems so. What more could nvidia offer for Titan that isn't offered in this card? Slightly more cores (10% max?) maybe a factory OC? Can't even fit more ram until the 2GB chips get released. It very much seems like a titan unless AMD somehow turns the tables.
Selling Turing cards can be tricky.
Best time to do so is obviously behind us
Now could be the "best" (not absolute best ofc) or worst time to do so
"Best" if you assume that every passing day your card loses value, which could very well be the case, or "worst" if avaibility is very scarce and you then get a lot of disappointed people who couldn't get their hands on new cards maybe turning to the used market, which could temporarily drive the prices up some compared to now.
I don't think there's going to be a huge rebound (and I think £500 is a decent cash-in-hand price), but I can certainly see prices ticking back up when Cyberpunk releases and nobody can find a 3070 - a 2080Ti is pretty close to a drop-in replacement for someone in that market.
I don't know... I can very easily forsee a scenario where all of the new 30 series cards are bought up in the blink of an eye when they become available and the stock situation takes several months to the end of the year to stabilize. And even then, like with GPU releases in the past, these MSRP prices will get jacked up in price once supply dries up.
If that kind of scenario happens, then I could see the secondhand market for something like a 2080Ti being a bit more favorable for sellers of those cards, especially if people are hungry for something like Cyberpunk and the 30 series cards aren't readily available.
