It'll be worth it for ray-traced Cyberpunk! I need all the power.
Holding out for the 3080ti been saving for a year or so. Gonna need a new cpu as well...what's the best gaming cpu to pair with something like this?
By the time 20GB of GDDR6 is relevant for PC gaming, I would think the 3080 would be a mid-tier card AT BEST. Seems like severe overkill at this point. Probably won't be anywhere near necessary for gaming for another 3 years.
But yeah, the price of the memory alone will drive that cost up something awful.

I thought so. The next gen consoles jump is gonna make my 1660Ti all but useless even at 1080p. PC can flex for once not being limited by consoles.

It seems like overkill for sure, or maybe a look forward towards 8K?
The 20GB of VRAM is likely for the Quattro version which will use the same board. You're not going to see 20GB of GDDR6 on a non-flagship gaming GPU.
You're likely not even going to see that on the 3080Ti.

Get this with a new AMD CPU, and you've literally future proofed for the next gen.
Yeah people are misreading this, it's likely the 3070 will use 8GB of VRAM with the 3080 using 10GB. The other will be used in AI and non-consumer facing products.
Been sitting on a 6700K for about 4 years now, and while I have an RTX 2080, I'm seriously considering getting a 3080 Super (fuck getting the 3080 off the bat unless it's a massive upgrade, like at least 50%). So new GPU and CPU are probably in my future for this year :).
Im glad I held out on the RTX2080 Ti. If 50% more powah is confirmed then my GTX1080 can count its final days. Give me MOARRRR!
Just caved and got a 2070 Super a few weeks ago cause I couldn't wait. Phew boy this is gonna tempt me when it comes out.
I did the same but with a 5700XT so it wouldn't be as insulting when this is announced. Depending on the price of the new cards, the 5700XT might last a bit longer than I anticipated
I'm not quite excited about those specs. If we ignore any improvements from architectural and core/mem frequency improvements (as we have no idea about those), just by pure stream processor and SM count that would put the 3080 somewhere between 2080S and 2080 Ti rather than above or equal to the 2080 Ti. Throwing in more memory is not useful if nothing truly utilizes it.
I would not be surprised if Nvidia pulls another Super series out of its bag when AMD comes out with anything remotely relevant.

I'm curious, let's say the new consoles launch at $500. Would I be able to purchase a $500 gpu and except it to perform as well as the consoles for the entirety of the generation?
I know that question has a ton of "what if's" but was that case when the ps4/x1 launches? And even the 360/ps3?

It seems like they are going to stagger the release of the 3080Ti just like they did with the 10 Series.
