So will the 3080 FE fit in my Thermaltake core v1?
The card is 285mm long and the case supports up to 285mm...

AMD would have to price its RDNA2 flagship around $499 or just die.
Tough luck, kid.
I know, but I feel like I invariably fucked up by buying the PC when I did. It's a personal thing, I suppose since I'm honestly getting really quite strong anxiety over it all.
Probably separately; the Radeon VII and RX 5000 series GPUs were released separately from the Zen 2 CPUs in 2019, same goes for the Vega 56/64 and Zen 1 but that might change this year given AMD's planning to release their GPUs before the console. It's possible they'll go "here's what consoles will be using, here is the desktop equivalent for those who want unparalleled performance" in October-ish but don't quote me on that.
Somewhat unrelated: I am willing to admit I was wrong about a 3080Ti not happening because that gap between the 3080 and 3090 is massive; even with a rumored 3080 20GB GPU tacking on $100-150 to the base price of $700, there's still a large space for a 3080Ti to take up, likely depending on how competitive the RDNA 2 GPUs end up being compared to the 3080 and 3070.
I'm ordering one on my birthday too, end of September. I'm gifting myself.
Anyone else feel like the 3080 is crippled by the 10 gigs of ram? Like how is this future proof when games already eat that much on 4K. They are obviously trying to make the 3090 look a lot more impressive than it is. The cuda cores aren't that much higher, the performance difference will come down to the RAM pool. Pretty sure the 3080 can do 8K too.
Not a fan of the other cards I've seen. The 3070 FE looks the best, so far anyway. And coming in at 242mm, a perfect fit for my case.
That said, AORUS 3070 cards are missing off the Gigabyte website. And MSI and ASUS have yet to show anything unless I'm missing something?

Unfortunately, yes. Nvidia have mandated no pre orders. Only register interest. 3080 is 17th Sept. 3090 24th and 3070 tbc October.
One of the main reasons I'm going for 3090 over 3080. 10 GB seems way too small for next-gen.
I wonder if the 3060 is going to return to the typical 1/2 shader count of the xx80 card, putting the 3060 at the same 4352 shader count as the 2080 ti? That would be tasty, and put it around ~15TFLOPs. And a 3050 at half the size of that could be at 2176 shaders similar to the 2060 super.
I run a 6700K with a Pascal Titan, and the Hitman 2 benchmark (1440p, max settings except medium HBAO) still averaged ~71 fps. Crazy good, and I say this because it looks like the 3080 could have up to double the performance?! What a monster, hoping that'll get me through another 5 years.
I wish we could already know how the FE design performs because I'm pretty sure it's gonna have better build quality than most of the AiBs
And look better too
And look better too
Yay! Glad I could help :)
I'm torn between 3080 FE, and EVGA 3080 FTW3
Well we will know before September 17th :)

Ouch!
That's the official recommended wattage (which is usually a little over what you actually need)
Yep xx80 to Ti was usually a 35% jump. But this time around the xx80 is only 20% behind the top of the line card.

Huh? 3070 is ~2080ti?
5700Xt is 40 CU's and within ~30% performance of 2080 Ti, Big Navi is rumored to be 80, so 2X and then add some clock increase and maybe efficiency increase to RDNA 2 (maybe not a lot for the latter). Double 5700Xt alone will smoke the 2080Ti.
Nvidia has set a high bar though. But "competing with" 3070/Ti should be a doddle for 80 RDNA 2 CU's.
Why do people prefer the FEs? Is it just for aesthetics? Because the AIBs are usually better performance and noise wise aren't they?
There will be reviews. They will be embargoed. Did that answer your question? ;)
Good deal great card and will be for awhile. With dlss and 1080(assuming of course) you're good for awhile

This is a misconception about how much a game uses for VRAM, and the number you see in MSI Afterburner or Rivatuner, which includes Caching.
We can take Flight Simulator 2020 for example, if you use the developer FPS overlay, it will tell you exactly how much the game is using.
On 4K, everything set to Ultra and all sliders to to the right except supersampling, FS2020 only uses 8GB of VRAM! Everything above that is just the game caching assets that it may or may not need, and they will fill fill fill all that room up with potentially useless data, which is good because unused VRAM is wasted VRAM, but you will not have a performance disadvantage having a 10GB card in 4k gaming even including Next-Gen titles.
not that i doubt your post, but could you at least link a source please?

Having the 3060 equal to or near an RTX 2080 Ti would be fine by me.

Im good with that. If its a set time and day, and usually good with being able to snag one outside of bots buying it all in 1 min.
