Yep. Games at 4k already getting close to 8GB so a bit more headroom would have been great. Could have been really amazing GPUs for that price.

So I fired up my HTPC (where the 3080 would go) that is hooked up to a Cyberpower UPS to see what it was telling me wattage wise. I kept the AV receiver turned off, but the TV itself (LG C9) is still included in the wattage reading out of the UPS.
On my system:
SF600 PSU
6700k
16GB DDR3
GTX980
Running Heaven at 2560x1440 at highest settings for everything I saw jumps to 480W.
Running the FFXIV:Shadowbringers Benchmark I was seeing jumps 550W with one ping at 580W.
All of these have the TV included, and looking online that looks to maybe be, conservatively, about 150W to take off of those numbers to get to just the PC
So Worst Case 580W - 150W (TV) - 165W (GTX980 rated wattage) = 265W for the PC minus the GPU.
The 3080 is rated in the specs to 320W, so 265W + 320W = 585W
So seems I MIGHT have headroom with the SF600 PSU and the 6700k, with a potential AMD upgrade netting a few more watts off the top, but it seems like it may be on the hairy edge if the current specification isn't a worst-case number.

10GB is enough for nextgen 4k as well.
Flight Simulator 2020, EVERYTHING maxed out @ 4k, uses less than 10GB.
Very very very
Turing cards sold very quickly and these are waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy better value (well for 3070 and especially 3080)
You're getting the performance of a current £1200 GPU for £470 with a better featureset, I don't think anyone can be disappointed really. I agree, it makes sense to have the 3070 as the price:performance king but Nvidia clearly want to try and upsell users to the 3080. They know the pricing is good enough that those that stick with the 3070 are going to be more than happy with the performance they're getting.
I'd love to step up to a 3080 but I just can't justify spending £650 on a graphics card especially when I can get over a 3x performance boost for around £200 less.
NVIDIA is not doing pre-orders for Founders Editions. Third-parties TBD.
I was on the path to do this, sold my 1080Ti first. USPS lost it and I'm in a month-long endeavor on the insurance claim.
Naturally that slowed me down on selling anything so here I am. Thanks Trump.
If true, that is insanity. I expected this to just be for RTX because it's all I've seen via benchmarks. I want to see that 1440p performance comparison or maybe even 1080 depending on title (though that's likely to be CPU bottlenecked).
That would 100% warrant me upgrading from a 2080
What do we know about their cooling shroud and I'd expect AIB partners are probably going to be selling higher than MSRP due to limited supplies? I'm wondering if this time around Nvidia's cooler might actually be better than what AIB's are offering to start.
We won't know until release, but AIBs are usually factory overclocked and offer better cooling, at the cost of taking up more space (and usually carrying a higher price). The FE coolers this time look pretty good, though.
Price it at what ebay is pricing or facebook marketplace is pricing, not what you think is fair. A lot of people will pay more than you think they should.
1070 to 2060 was definitely not worth it. someone who paid 380 for their 1070 at launch was making a bad decision if they decided to spend another 330 to buy a 2060 at launch...two and a half years later. terrible value proposition. that's why i disagree that the 2060 is supposed to be the upgrade path for the 1070 even if it's in that same price bracket. we'll see what the 3060 is like though.
Probably the "super" revisions next year will have more. Or maybe some vendors will release models with more memory. When cross gen is over 12gb would be better
Yes definitely, PCIE 4.0 is backwards compatible with PCIE 3.0, But there may or may not be a small performance difference for the 3080 and 3090, we'll have to found out once reviews start coming in.
What is 2x the 2080, the 3080? We need to see average benchmarks with a suite of 10 games minimum to judge, without DLSS and RT.

Anyone know the % difference between the 2080 and the 2080ti?
Put it in a cardboard box and that should be doable.
Nah but seriously I think that will be attainable with some caveats.
Uh we already know what it is, 36 Tf @ 1.7Ghz
3080 is 30 Tf
Yeah, that could happen. I'm not buying day one anyways so I'll be patient :) With DLSS my 2070 S should perform just fine in the future.
3070 having 51% more Tf than a base 2080 Ti, priced @ $500 will do that
It's pretty significant but oh well. I have several PCs in the house so usually do hand-me-down upgrades. In this case it would have been better to sell everything not in immediate use.
No biggie though, most users wouldn't notice the differences. Honestly I'll probably only really notice at 4K.
