I got a CX550m PSU after my old one died last month.
I'm not confident for the possible 3060.
I'm not confident for the possible 3060.
Historically I believe FTW3 cards were the highest clocked versions. I would expect the 3090 FTW3 to follow suite.
I would sure hope so, either that or I would just set it to a very mild static white color.
EVGA, Asus and MSI are the standouts, but I would just go with whatever brand offers the best customer support (they vary from country to country)
They have aftermarket coolers and varying levels of manufacturer warranty support (where evga is probably the best in the latter). Some of them are overclocked by default as well
IMO this is makes it easier to get one. Limit 1 per person and charging immediately, less likely to get flippers in the meantime.
They have some reveal event tomorrow and they did show design officially today.
I would expect full spec sheets and availability info by end of the week.
Not sure.
Lets put it this way, if I can get 400€ for my 2080Ti I'm VERY surprised.
Before someone comes at me with "loltopkek should have sold weeks ago" meta bullshit, don't. I expected hard value crash and I'm fine with it.
The 2070S is like 10-15% faster and performance doesn't scale with TFlops so it's not 3x faster.
The 3080 is a lot faster than the 5700xt though, more than twice if you look at the DF video.
If you are in USA, EVGA is the best brand bar none.
They also make very good coolers.
Man I hope so. I really want to dump my 5700 XT ASAP but I don't want to be stuck without a card while I'm waiting for a shot at getting a 3080.
If you're worried about console ports, I'd bump to the 8/16 range if I were you. These new consoles are going to have nice CPUs this time around, so they'll be no brute forcing your way through.
Hope you're right. I'd really love to be able to get a 3080 FE on launch day without toooooooo much hassle.
I have been watching too many CK3 playthroughs last couple days. This just didn't sound right :P.
Hmm, I figured my EVGA G2 650w would be fine for a 3080—I imagine I'd be fine wattage-wise, but looks like the AIB 3080s are mostly going with 3x8 power connections? I think my PSU supports it but I'd need an additional cable on top of what was included.
(Edit: I think I'll be fine, actually—looks like I have 2 6-pin + 8 (6 + 2)-pin cables, so that should be able to drive 3 8-pins.)
I'm still thinking about it, but I'll probably get a 3080 and pair it with my 6700k for now, and see how that goes. That'll be with the understanding that it won't be an ideal long-term pairing and that I'm likely to upgrade the rest of the system in the next year or so.

is your cpu running at 2volts or something? thats way too much for "the rest"
I second this. EVGA honors RMAs even if you aren't the original buyer of the card and have no receipt. I wouldn't trust any other brand when spending this much on a component.
If you are opting for a 3090 I would suggest a support bracket. These cards are going to be heavy as shit and I expect them to sag like crazy.
I purchased a very basic (almost non visible) support bracket for my 2080Ti FTW3 and it made a very nice difference visually.

yeah debated just getting a 3080 but it's a tough trade, decided I am going to get a 3090 fully expect it to be 2000CAD before tax or more.... ugh. Good thing I will be getting my bonus over the next couple weeks hah
1080p at 60 or higher? At 60 honestly get a cheap 2080S for the time being and wait until the 40xx I'd you're planning on staying at 1080p/60.
Good question. I have the same cpu and was wondering too.
Where do you see that the 3080 is 50% faster than the 3070? Based on the specs that would be highly unlikely.
Edit: nvm wrong math.
it looks like the FE 3070 is dual slot but the actual card looks to be just a tad bigger. but why in the fucking world did they put the 12pin IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING CARD? WWWWWHAT?!
not a fan of EVGAs take on the 30 series. quite the departure from their pervious looks of 20 and 10 series cards.
Nah, I'm going to rock my 6700K for a bit longer, and probably bump up my OC a bit. Even if I bottleneck the new cards some, it will still be an immense upgrade over my 970. I'll probably build a completely new rig in a year or two.
No preorders this time around from Nvidia themselves or from EVGA. Hope you're ready on the 17th.
Yeah, you're right. I'll have to save some more and go for the 8/16. Worst case scenario a 3700x after the 4700x announcement/launch
Agreed. Now the problem will be securing one at that price... I'm concerned that scalpers will swoop them all up.
Does it support pci 4.0? I don't know much about Intel. That would be the thing to hold it back.
i5 6600k and a 1070. Will rebuild once AMD announces their new CPUs, but otherwise I don't see a rush. As someone else said, it will likely bottleneck a bit, but still be an improvement.
I don't think that we will have preorders for Ampere:
Star Citizen.
(And a ton of sim games, which is what I typically play on my PC).
Depends on the country, i had to wait 4 months to buy the AMD new CPU last year.
Going to try my best to get an EVGA 3080 card as I have been happy with their cards for a long time. Not sure what the difference between the FTW3 and XC3 versions are, but I guess I got time to figure it out.
