Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 Series review thread

Mind you, if you have a monster CPU drawing a ton of power and a kinda weak 650w PSU, you will likely run into trouble. This thing can draw upwards of 380w during benchmarks.

Apparently the new cooler reduces RAM temps by almost 10 degrees compared to a an AIB 3080 with a traditional cooler, while increasing CPU temps by 2 degrees.

Yes, fans stop at idle and don't spin up until at 63 degrees (mentioned in the Finnish article linked above)
Hardwareluxx.de says the CPU cooler gets 3°C warmer compared to a 2080 Ti but the 3080 is also just generating more heat so that is likely the bigger factor.
Any word on whether the FE fan setup is going to be problematic for air cooled CPUs? Hoping some reviews touch on this, but am not able to watch them today.
My CPU is i7-9700k. Not overclocked. Assume that isn't a monster CPU?
Judging from the comments here and some of the reviews ive read.... no.
OUCH! Guess Im sticking with my 2080 Ti :)
This is really CPU bound. I don't think this will be fixed until they implement DirectX12
Yeah I don't get the complaint about if your not in 4K you have no need for an upgrade, I'm on a 1070 and I'm like WHAT offc is worth it :D
It's good and bad that there is not much OC potential and performance difference. So you get great performance even without OC, but with AIB you pay extra just for at most +100mhz? We will see tomorrow if thats the case.
So a ROG Strix e.g. with 3x8pin power supply has to push absurd amount of watt into the card to get some OC benefits.

The 3080 is not really the gen on gen upgrade from Ti that would be the 3090.
Curious about this too. I can't imagine it'll fare too well pulling hot air from an air cooled CPU.
Hardware Unboxed found only 22% improvement from a 2080 Ti @ 1440p, which is woefully short of the expectations set by Digital Foundry's underhanded and cherry pickeded benches.
Everyone will see a huge benefit once next gen games will arrive on PC.
The card is severely CPU limited right now in everything below 4K.

Seems to be roughly double the performance in both 1440p and 4k.
Yeah, just going to wait for the 3070, don't think the 3080 is worth the 200$ more if I am just playing at 1440p.
22% improvement in 1440p in a card that is hundreds of dollars cheaper than the Ti is good imo.
Especially again when the 3080 isn't really the gen on gen upgrade from Ti, it's the 3090. It's going to be interesting to see how that perform vs 2080 Ti.
The margins drop off a cliff when you overclock the 3080 and the 2080TI. As predicted.
The 3080 doesnt have much power headroom, but the 2080TI did, which allows it to close the gap.
But that's FE vs AIB. So... let's wait for some AIB reviews I guess.
Seems pretty cherry picked. OC vs OC it was still usually 15-20% faster in the GN review vs the 2080 ti in most titles.
It does give pause for people who don't plan to game at 4K.
JayzTwoCents says it doesn't negatively impact the CPU at all.
The card blows warmish air but nothing harmful. The FE cooling solution looks like a real winner.
oh man, going from a 980 ti to a 3080 will be quite something!
i only play 1080 but being to play everything at 120 fps (or at least a lot of them) will be amazing
Can't wait

This seems perfect for 1440p/144hz
4K still not worth it to me. Coming from a 1080 it is a substantial upgrade. Obviously from a 2080ti it wouldn't be that huge of a jump. The best card from previous series is never much worse than the next flagship card. Not surprising to me. Skip a generation at least and get a bigger upgrade later.

I have to wait for 3070 benchmarks to see if its worth upgrading from 970 to 3070 or 3080 for 1440p 144hz. I can wait until Cyberpunk.
I'm rocking a 1080 so this would still be a massive improvement by simply allowing me to enable ray tracing and DLSS 2.0 where it's available, but I gotta say that the age old adage of "wait for benchmarks" that I neglected this time around came back to bite me in the ass
