Hoping to see an upgrade path from my 1070 now I have ultrawide 1440p but, also have to be mindful of my m-itx build...

This thing starts in less than an hour? Why does this page have a longer countdown?

Edit: Just refreshed it and it's now matching the countdown in this thread. Lol, alright.

If I can get my desired model of 3090 for MAXIMUM $1500 I'll hate myself but I'll do it.

Otherwise it's a 3080 for me.

Is there anything at this point, technology wise, that could be announced that would surprise us at this event?

Or we just waiting for prices at this point?

RT performance is the biggest unknown. There's strong rumours of a 2x increase in RT performance but we'll find out for sure shortly.

The combination of 2x RT and DLSS is hugely significant if it happens though. It would mean even the 3060 would be running rings around the highest end RDNA2 card in Cyberpunk which will have to rely on much slower RT hardware and native resolution rendering in order to try and compete.

There's no point upgrading my 2080TI is there? I game at 1440P and Microsoft Flight sim is the only game where I get stuttering and frame drops which I believe is related to the streaming and poor CPU optimisation.

I'll skip the 3000 series but I'm interested to see what they look like.

My GPU history is literally 2 cards at this point. 780 to 2060. I... I think I'm in for a 3080?

I've hoped in the other thread, but I hope availability is better in October when I plan to replace my 1070.

as long as I can somehow get a 3080 before Cyberpunk comes out, I'll be happy

this 1070 has served me well, but it's time

I have too many open questions to jump in feet first, as tempting as it might be.

- benchmarks from real people
- same card comparisons from different vendors
- power requirements
- length (planning a new build around a meshify C so 315mm max length)

So I'll sit and watch the fireworks and initial impressions from everyone and hopefully dive in when things calm down a bit

what if they announce limited edition RTX 3080 and 3090 with Cyberpunk 2077 themed shroud and lights?

I need a new card and I am only going to be getting the Ampere cards, so my thinking is, I will get this card on day 1, and if my PSU (650 W) isn't enough, I can always just buy a beefier PSU later on.

Please don't be a 100+ minute presentation this time like the 2000 series event was.

damn that works too lol. But 6700k and 600w PSU here feels like I'd want to upgrade both and that means motherboard and ram and I might as well just start from scratch

In for whatever card I can get for less than $1k, and hoping I can secure one of the first pre-orders.

I'm ''new'' to this PC gaming stuff(always played, never cared), but it is expected a significant price drop on the 2000s with the launch of the 3000s?
Or it will be relatively the same even with the launch of the new cards?

3090 = $1700
.
.
3080 20GB = $999
3080 10GB = $899
.
x 2080Ti performance
.
3070 8GB = $699

One of the more on-point insiders/leakers has said the pricing will be "good". Make of that what you will. My guess is somewhere between Pascal and Turing.
If pricing is indeed "good", then people are going to absolutely flock to the 3080 pre-orders. You could afford to get a nice superclocked / binned one.
