FFS too many pages, had to tap out after page four.
While I'm pretty sure the 24GB card in 2020 is targeted at the "prosumer" level workstation card again and isn't the 3090/3080Ti, NVIDIA has traditionally been restrained on their VRAM inclusion but 24GB is going to hit consumer level eventually in this new generation even if as a work around to brute force the new consoles' I/O customizations, never mind exploiting the CPU resources afforded to them. I think you're underestimating how much this new generation could push PC requirements unless you're actually aiming for sub-PS5/XSX settings at 30FPS in 2023.
EDIT: And yes, of course there's rendering that could easily east up that VRAM.
Probably October/November. Like with their video cards, the AMD ship has been pretty tight from leaks since they fired their previous marketing team apparently.
The 3080 is said to be 20-30% faster than the 2080Ti along with being significantly more capable of ray tracing as all the 3000 series RTX cards are supposed to be.
I think they're going to be pushing Titan further into being "cheap" workstation GPUs and probably still only slightly with less VRAM.
The 3070 is supposedly going to be near 2080Ti performance with much better RT capability. If you really want you might be able to sell the 2070S for about what you paid for it if you have a card that you could use as a placeholder.
When the next gen starts getting rolling late next year and into 2022 it'll be time to rebuild. A 2070 wouldn't be much of an upgrade, you could sell your 1080Ti now, if you can and put it towards a 3070.
It's been a bad time to build since at least April, many of us have been saying it because of the new generation of video cards coming out in the Fall after ~2 years of the same architecture on NV's end along with the new generation of CPUs though to a lesser extent. Never mind how covid has screwed with the prices of some components.thanks guys. Built this thing two months ago this is what I think my PC feels like whenever something new is announced
because apparently anytime is the worst time to build a new PC apparently.
I just hope this can run Cyberpunk well.
I had a lot more written but this reminds me of the "you'll be fine with 4GB of RAM and 2GB VRAM for gaming" talk that was still going on from some after the PS4 and XBO's specs were revealed. What's fine today may not be in two-three years for games after developers transition to a new minimum target, especially at 4K+. RAM/VRAM aside it's especially going to be rough on the CPU end. I'm planning at least a 8C/16T Zen 3 build (probably with a 3080) after the CPUs are out and I don't expect it to hold up nearly as long as my 2500K has/did for games because of how much harder things are going to be pushed this time around. If I could I'd hold off another two or three years just so I could build a PC with DDR5 and enough advancements to pretty much guarantee better than console settings at 60+ FPS in games designed around ~4K@30FPS.
