Honestly just tempted to snag one right now, they're going for pretty cheap where I am. Might wait for 3070 benchmarks before I do tho.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 Series review thread

Is the 3090 the equivalent of an 2080Ti or a Titan in people's minds?
That is the question I ask myself.
Why did nVidia name it 3090 and not Titan, if it's really a Titan?
If it's not a titan, then why not name it 3080Ti?
Man, I wish I could read nVidia's internal marketing and see how they came to their decisions :)

IgorsLAB has put out a video dedicated to PSU and the conclusion is that you will be fine with a high quality 650 W, but definitely comfortable higher than that. (German) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IicO6d4JHvg
Who's buying a 3080 to play at a low resolution like 1440p.OUCH! Guess Im sticking with my 2080 Ti :)

It depends on what you do in game. Digital Foundry did a really informative performance analysis. I'd be highly disappointed if LTT didn't account for that in their benchmarking. You can easily create GPU limited scenarios by picking the right location, time of day, and weather.
I don't expect RTX 3080 will be readily availbalbe in stock in stores until like December lol. Will be sold out and shipped out in queue to people. It's what i guess anyway.
They explained it like this: The Titan wasn't meant for gamers, but gamers bought it anyway, so the 3090 is a card with Titan-esque specs designed for gamers.
Whether that makes sense or not, I can't help you with.
If they have the 2070S on the list you can just refer to those scores.
Keeps the chip cool and it's quiet, but it's expelling a ton of heat into the case, so make sure you've got good airflow where the exhaust is.
3080 FE sucks for overclockers it seems (I kinda suspected this). It's power limited all the time. Hopefully 3x8pin AIB cards will be better. Also, seems like card runs into big diminishing returns at 1440p and especially 1080p, so it's basically a 4K card, over wise you are just wasting money.
OUCH! Guess Im sticking with my 2080 Ti :)
2020 is incredibly CPU-limited, which is typically what pushes frame rate. A boost in GPU power won't do much for this game.
Gamers Nexus benchmarks have an average of 65fps 4K Highest/RTX On/DLSS On in Control.Doesn't hit 4K60 on Control with RTX and DLSS on
I don't dare watch a video cause two kids are online learning. How is the FE cooler? Mind helping me out with a summary? Thanks!
edit: Looks like it was just answered.
well I've got a 240mm AIO for CPU with a top exhaust. And 2 intake at bottom for cool air, as well as 3 intake at front.

Shit like this is why I have trouble shelling out $1000 CAD on a single graphics card. If I'm paying out the ass and still can't enjoy the "never thinking about settings" lifestyle then I might as well get something cheaper and upgrade more often.

So it plays like how I played it at 1080p medium/high with my 1060 6gb, but at 4K RTX + DLSS, cool

The leap from pascal in 1440p is huge tho.
It's all impressive and fun, but will it run this: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1379600/Pandemic_Train/
I mean, every AIB cooling solution is dumping heat into the case too.
$1200 2080Ti - $8.1/frame
$700 3080 - $3.9/frame
Doubling the price performance of 2080Ti.
Me, for one, because my 1080Ti can't do Ray Tracing. But also at 1440p I'm even more future proofed than anyone at 4K, since I'll get all the features, Ultra presets, and frame rates (and more of them) for a lot longer. I'm also not a fan of 4K for desktop application/use, I still feel like 1440p is the PC sweetspot.
It does right now, but we're going to start seeing a generation change in games which is going to be great with the new horsepower. Especially with more games using RTX.
Do note that Hardware Unboxed/Tech Power-Up is using a Ryzen CPU, while most of the rest are using Intels. That might explain some of the discrepancies.
According to Computerbase dropping the power target by 50 Watts (320 W ->270 W) leads to a performance loss of only 4%.
Seems like Nvidia brute forced the last bit of performance. Not sure why they did that, given that AMD probably won't be able to catch up this generation.

Read a couple of reviews and watching the GN video but I am still not sure if I should buy a 3080 if I will be using i7 [email protected] with it for the foreseeable future.
Yes, he says it at the end. The FE cards is not worth overclocking, it's power limited.
Same, I have my current 1080 hooked up to my 1440p gsync and my lg C9. I just prefer the 120+ fps 1440p to the 4k. I can't really tell a difference visually so I just stick with 1440p.
You can't be serious lmaooooNVIDIA.... wow misleading marketing?
