    https://www.kotaku.com.au/2020/09/rtx-3080-review-nvidia/

    Now I understand the message Jensen ment: " it's safe to upgrade my friends, from 1080ti and below" the 2080 series market isn't what Nvidia needs, it's those below that tier who haven't upgraded, and the value to upgrade from a 2080 super or ti, is someone's lucky bargain.

    Maybe the 3080 isn't really worth it after all, the 2080ti is, at first I thought the 3080 was faster then the 2080ti and super, it is based on cost to performance, but overall the stress and hassle to buy a 3080 to simply just game in 4k…

    Dam I'll buy a 2080ti happily, given Nvidia's is insidiously concocting a vicious plan to sell the 3060, the 3070, and the 3080ti around march or may next year, It's obvious given Nvidia's filthy tactics…

    I'd definitely hold on to the 2080ti it's a powerhouse at 1080p, at 1440p, and slowly less at 4k, but neither 3080 nor 2080ti can seriously run Microsoft flight simulator.

    https://youtu.be/lCPi4-BP6sU (digital foundry review)

    However the 3080 has 8500 cuda cores, while useless and shit to most gamers, but to other who sli'd two for other reasons, the 3080 is definitely worth it In that category (sadly the etherium community will increase the cost of the 3080, and more will end up buying second hand 2080ti something that may hurt Nvidia who knows it's all opinion based.)

    • plague69 on 17/09/2020 - 11:55

      Tesla sold the roadster, then the S and X before moving to Model 3. Is that "filthy tactics"?

      They are making the chips and binning them most likely. The ones with faulty cores might have the cores turned off and sold as the lower versions. That's what Intel did. Not sure if holds true for GPUs as well.

      Also, more profit and lower volume from higher end of the market, good way to build up some cash before capacity catches up and if any issues, they don't need to recall a heap of cards, only a few.

        Well elon musks a smart man, and comparing he's company to Nvidia is laughable.

        But when the model version 2021, or 2022, 2027, what's to stop consumers buying the out of season model, it does the same thing, just slightly different iteration.( In-regards to intel, even up til this day they will never offer cores consumers want, it's amd that really gave the consumer the option, amd will do the same on vram, cant say it'll be cheap like the threadripper, but amd has given it to the consumer.)

        Same could be said for the 2080ti, when people Panic, it's usually other peoples win, and when it comes to stock the banks are way way ahead on what's about to crash.

        Let's wait and see how much the 2080ti drops in coming weeks on eBay, pascal customers can buy the cheaper slightly less powerful version, something Jensen probably doesn't want.

      What stress and hassle? Don't want to deal with that then wait 4 weeks. 4k monitors have been out for ages so gaming at 4k at good frames is a big thing for many people. RTX performance was hardly great in the 20 series especially at the price point. The 3080 and at its price point represents a great leap forward no matter how you look at it.

      • [Deactivated] on 17/09/2020 - 12:42

        If you say so, as Jensen puts it:
        https://youtu.be/5xAaQzaMsug

        Using the 3080 in blender is an entirely different ball game with those cuda cores 3d modelling is going to change their world with a 3080, even this guy suggests 10gig of vram isn't enough:

        https://youtu.be/EvU_thLGEoM

        • Dream-cast on 17/09/2020 - 15:57
          -2

          I think whoever is interested in these cards on release is well aware of the hype. 2 times performance no way but it's still a big performance jump for the price.

          Also I believe the ram usage is a matter of allocation vs utilization. Is 10gb enough? I havent done the research yet but I dont think this moore's law guy has either.

          The other things developers will generally target their games to run on current on near future hardware. Afterall the more players that can actually run the games the more people will buy them. If 10gb wasn't enough for 4k it would definitely be seen even in mainstream reviews. I dont think this moore's law guy has stumbled on an great revelation, in fact i'd bet the majority of 4k games will run fine on 10gb even with RTX.

    When are the AIB cards being released here in Australia is it tonight at 11pm or sometime tomorrow ?

    • SirNoble on 17/09/2020 - 18:03

      11PM tonight

      • Revrnd on 17/09/2020 - 18:35

        Yeah… a detail that appears lacking on a lot of sites.

        Scorptec and MWave don't have anything that sticks out regarding the 11pm availability, guessing its only the ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte models for AIB's, along with the Nvidia FE in tomorrow's raffle.

        Put my details in for one anyway. I'm hoping for a 20GB model whenever they're released.. it'll just be a bonus if I score even just one of these on launch ('cause the campaign info has been so scant)

        • SirNoble on 17/09/2020 - 18:40

          Scorptec announced it to be at 11PM on their Facebook page
          https://www.facebook.com/scorptec/posts/4445287488876662

          Mwave not too sure, but I believe we're just following suit of when they're available in the US, which is 6AM PT Time AKA… 11PM AEST

          • Revrnd on 17/09/2020 - 19:06

            @SirNoble: Cool, thanks for the heads up. I don't use FB, so missed the notice.

            Wish they'd have done a tiered approach for the higher VRAM models so people who want those could wait 'til the next round. lol

            • TheLurker on 17/09/2020 - 20:05

              @Revrnd: I saw an article today saying Asus will not launch Strix 3080 for a few days. Not sure why. Hoping there's actually AIB stock available

                @TheLurker: Really hoping there is. Definitely not a clean launch. I'd have thought they had Ampere ready for months, but clearly not.

      Most are all poorly optimised and not designed for this type of traffic at all, from my knowledge with one of the major stores and their backend. Honestly, this type of thing is not common and something they wouldn't bother trying to fix or help manage.

          You're looking at engine and CPU bottlenecks, a lot of which will be freed up over time through features of both Turing and Ampere.

          These are powerful cards, and these problems start to appear when you're pushing 120-250 FPS in games.

      Not bad. It's a disgusting looking card but congrats on getting your hands on one

        next to the FE, they pretty much all look like hot garbage.

          The strix and msi trio I like the look of. I don't really like the look of the founders edition 3080 and 3090 but the 3070 looks pretty good. It's a shame the founders edition cards dont have RGB, but at least they got rid of the shitty green lighting (at least I think they did)

          I also have no idea what compelled them to add those hideous red accents. I guess for the most part they're not visible, but why not just keep everything black

      It pleases me greatly that there are going to be options that are similar in price to FE.
