I'm really liking the look of the EVGA FTW3, but I know that'll be close to the 800 mark as well. I think I'm gonna go with the Ventus, I've got a Ventus 2060 and it's been rock solid, so just hoping the 3080 follows suit

haha, shit well thanks for the heads up. Time to save up for a new system.
Haha nice edit. Ventus is looking mighty fine, cant see myself paying the extra for the Trio, that uptick of £70 since the Super is atrocious
Tbh Really interested in seeing how the FE stacks up, the novel cooling solution, and the fins may result in a very cool card that's competitive with he big brand AIB cards.
AIB's whole niche is factory OC and custom high performance coolers.
There is nothing for them in re-selling NV designs with sticker swap.

$809 for the 3070
$1139 for the 3080
$2439 for the 3090
Wow!!!!! Considering the 2080ti is still going for around $2000 and you get that performance from a $800 card....
Only the high end AIB cards are 3x 8Pin.
Asus TUF and the MSI ventus lineup are both 2x pin for the 3080/3090 version as an example.
So my question is, the cooling setup Nvidia has with their founders and vapor chamber right? Is it going to be superior to what a lot of the AIB partners are offering and a lower price to boot? Because AIB's typically overcharge by a good amount at launch.
Why would there be a 3080ti? Ram? Anything closer performance wise nullifies the 3090.
There's a huge gap between the 3080 and 3090.
Do you really think they won't release an in-between card later?
I know it's probably too early to tell, but is there any indication of just how much is lost by continuing to use a PCIe 3.0 port for these new 4.0 GPUs? The limit of 32GB/s from 3.0 seems like it would be enough for most things, but that doubling to 64 for 4.0 isn't nothing. Mostly curious for 4K/120HZ
What is the gap? It looks smaller than I thought it would be esp for almost 2x the price.
12 - 16 VRAM and a gap between the 3080 and 3090. $999 seems like a safe bet for it.
Rumours were flying that there's a 20GB version of the 3080 from some AIB's, so that'll probably be the Ti

"Also, to answer about half the questions in this thread:
"Also, to answer about half the questions in this thread:
- Currently no pre-order planned. Similarly, no pricing is available at this time.
- Like the US store, we cannot generally comment on availability at this time for the EU store. Availability, however, will not be any sooner than the dates NVIDIA mentioned for each GPU.
- HYBRID, HC, and KPE cards will come a bit later than the XC3 and FTW3 cards. No ETA to give you, which is probably your next question.
- HYBRIDs will be 240mm, except for KPE HYBRID, whch will be 360mm. No plans for a 120mm HYBRID at this time.
- HYBRIDs will be 2 Slot.
- XC3 cards will all be 2.2 slots. Length is 11.23in. - 285.37mm / Height is 4.38in. - 111.15 mm.
- FTW3 cards will be 2.75 slots. Length is 11.81in. - 300mm / Height is 5.38in. - 136.75mm.
- There will be an EVGA NVLINK. No ETA at this time.
- Since I've seen this mentioned incorrectly, all cards are 3 DisplayPort, 1 HDMI.
- PowerLink is expected to work with the XC3 models. For obvious reasons, it will not work with the 3090/3080 FTW3 cards due to the number of PCIe power connectors. Either way, we will have the compatibility list updated when the cards are available on the website.
- Step-Up will begin when cards are available. Products will not be listed prior to general availability. I would expect one of the XC3 models will be listed for availability, but we will make that decision prior to general availability.
- I'm not sure why people assume bots are buying cards over regular people. It was a popular reason for why 20-Series cards were always out of stock, which completely ignored literal supply and demand issues (lots of people wanted them, but there weren't many initially). Yes, there are per person quantity caps for each card. Yes, we require captcha to login, which is also required to create a profile. This should help to comfort some of you."
I'd really love for them to do something to combat botting. I still really don't know of a good way to do this electronically unless people were willing to give some kind of ID.
There is a huge gap in:
Performance
Price
RAM
Between the 3080 and 3090. Something sliding into that gap would do really well imho.
I mean, this is what I'm wondering too. It's obvious they spent time on cooling it a specific way. I'm looking at all these other designs and it's like nothing's changed there for the other vendors and what's up with that?
Bought a 2060 Super last year when I built my new PC to give me the flexibility to upgrade to the next gen cards when they got announced. Just listed it for sale and will hope to snag either a 3070 or 3080 at launch. These are way faster than I thought!
I really hope AMD has some goods.
Imagine Lisa Su walking out on stage with nothing competitive to show off.
Their reveal can't come soon enough.

Yeah, I woke up and I was like "wait a second... I don't have to sell a kidney to Nvidia just to get a 3070?". I've got enough for the 3080 and the new PSU I'll need to power it
I don't remember 3000 series FE cooler design exactly, but looked like pretty normal heat pipe design without vapor chamber.
Will it be superior to AIB's? We need benches for that, but I would be surprised if it out performed top end AIB models.
Give it to a friend who needs new GPU, but strapped on cash?
Sell it for 300 - 400€?
I usually dont purchase cards until later after release, but do 3rd party cards usually come out the same day as FE cards?
The only performance demonstrations we've seen were on a PCIe 3.0 system and that had between a 65%-90% performance delta generation to generation so I wouldn't worry about it. There'll be a difference but it's unlikely to be more than 5-10%.
Was anyone expecting the FE cooler to be the standard? Setting aside the fact that we don't know how the FE cooler compares to a more standard design, i'm sure EVGA, ASUS and ZOTAC will have a few FE-like GPUs where they copy the reference cooler. That said, I am skeptical that the reference design is going to cool the 3080 any more efficiently than the Strix, FTW3, Waterforce or other quality AIBs/allow for a higher OC, short of the 20GB 3080 having its back and front covered with VRAM like the 3090 appears to be based on those leaked PCB pictures. The 3090 is another story given the amount of components that need to be cooled on both sides, hence why so many of those cards appear to have massive coolers.
Do we know if zen 3 is expected with big navi? Or is it separate
I'm in the same boat right now. Eyeballing a FE, but why is no one imitating Nvidia's design? This tells me the classic triple fan design is still the best for cooling/noise.
Reference cards have never been the best in terms of cooling and noise, right? I guess I'll wait for comparisons.
Yep.
Even if I sell my RTX 2080 later. I must have a 3080 on day one. Hopefully EVGA's variant offers 12-Pin option. If not I guess I'm gonna have to break out a 3rd 8-Pin VGA cable from my PSU.
I don't foresee my EVGA 750 G3 having any issues with this.
Because that's what the make. Big cooling blocks with flashy lights and typically not blower styling.
Plus honestly since the 1000/2000 lines. The AIB boards have really added very little performance over their founders counterparts anyway. It's mainly binned chips that make the difference, not the coolers typically. OC headroom has been extremely minor.
AMD reaffirmed recently that Zen 3 is coming before the end of 2020, so I imagine they will hold one showing for both.
What's everyone going with? MSI? ASUS? EVGA? I always get stumped every gen with what brand and version to go with since there's like 20 different kinds.
