    8GB for Next Gen gaming is not enough. They'll be giving it away this time next year.

      Its not like the consoles have a huge amount either, sure they have 16GB GDDR6, but that is a shared memory pool, not just used for VRAM..

      • scud70 on 10/11/2020 - 08:35

        yeh but next gen consoles will predominantly have their fps run under what a PC would, and possibly lower textures (4k we are talking about here where the vram comes into play more).. and a whole console costs less than this card.. I'd be pretty peeved to have lack of vram as an issue in 2 years time .. my upgrade cycle and i think most general users out there will be around 5 years…. GPU is that only piece i'm missing for my build now that i retired my 5 year old gaming pc.

          First of all, I didn't neg you, but literally every game coming out on the Series X and PS5 this week runs at 4k…

            @Vinodra: Sure but as scud70 says, at what FPS? And at what other mixed bag graphic settings? It's all essentially untested in the wild.

          • scud70 on 10/11/2020 - 09:19
            +1

            @Vinodra: it's all good .. don't fret over negs it's jus a conversation not a heated debate lol… yep i mentioned they will run at a lower fps at 4K than a PC can run and lower texture pack that a PC version may have.. usually devs will lock a game to a specific fps on consoles for it to be smoother like xbox one X games tended to be locked to 30fps 4k .. this gen will run that at 60fps .. on a PC you can hit higher depending on the grunt and in 2 years time while the consoles stay with the standard fps 60 (and at best 120 depending on the game) on a PC you'd want to run 4k with high texture's and not have to worry about VRAM … which is where VRAM is currently being stretched by some games.

            NOTE: main talking point is the high end graphics cards that cost close to 1k here.. so i agree it's not unreasonable to want higher VRAM for "future proofing" … even Nvidia had 16 and 20gig versions of these cards planned before they canned them until a later date…

            • gizmomelb on 10/11/2020 - 10:00

              @scud70: GPU ram does not = FPS… also 'future proof' is a oxymoron

              if you're worried about GPU ram usage then you would be upgrading your GPU every 2-3 years to keep your PC relevant with more modern games.

              As for fps and console benchmarks they are out there NOW, they have been released and reviewed.. 30FPS seems to be the aim for ray traced 4K, with some at 60FPS and there competitive shooters etc. are aimed at 120FPS. So considering most games are aimed at the majority of the hardware out there, 8-10GB will be more than enough for the vast majority of the games for the next fe years at the absolute minimum.. otherwise software producers end up developing features that only 1% of PC users can utilise.

            • Vinodra on 10/11/2020 - 10:27

              @scud70: Obviously an RTX 3070 will run better, since the Xbox Series X is equivalent to a RTX 2080S while the 3070 is equivalent to the 2080ti.

              But its not as big of a difference that people here seem to think it is.

              Dirt 5 and Halo Infinite for example have 4k/120fps modes, but obviously it won't be like that in every game. Considering an RTX 3080 can barely hit 60fps in games such as Borderlands 3. I've got 3 negative votes on a comment simply for pointing out something that is a fact.

      Pretty much the only game that uses more than 8GB at the moment is Doom Eternal at Ultra Nightmare settings

      • ThatsCheap on 10/11/2020 - 12:15
        +4

        This, and as someone who has been gaming at 4K for a while. 8Gb has been more than enough for a long time. But yes, at 4K 8Gb vRAM is starting to recently be hitting the tip. The very same reason I didn't get the RTX 3080, and the 3090 is overpriced. Waiting for the AMD cards to see the reviews and then I'm waiting for nVidia's answer to those, like the rumoured 20Gb 3080 Ti.

      • TsunamiInTheHouse on 10/11/2020 - 12:33
        +3

        Yeah its weird how people watch hardware reviews that are done with 4k resolution then claim the 3070 or other more value orientated cards are DOA or something.

        My 1080 is gunna rock one, maybe 2 more generations depending on what nvidias 4xxx or amd's 7xxx looks like

    • shabaka on 10/11/2020 - 10:22

      came here to say exactly that. almost 6k cores and only 8GB of RAM is a joke.

    • botchie on 10/11/2020 - 10:49

      this is a cheap next gen - true next gen card is 3090 monster - the rest is just spin offs to make $$
      4k gaming seems like such a gimmick to me, dont see why anyone wants to build a rig that can do 4k at 120 fps….at 120 ftps and fast paced gameplay you cant even enjoy the nice gfx, 2k 160 fps is where its at and I can still do that mostly on my old 1080ti - so I will keep that for a while longer and play other Candy eye games on my $40 pw xbox

    • Phreebee on 10/11/2020 - 10:55
      +1

      I agree about the 8GB VRAM being too low. I have a 1080Ti with 11GB VRAM and wouldn't consider anything less for a future card upgrade. AMD already know this and hence their next gen higher end cards will come with 12 to 16GB VRAM. 8GB on a new card is a deal breaker for me no matter how fast the card is.

    • jasswolf on 10/11/2020 - 11:35
      +1

      Show working, because bar a handful of outliers, all the testing I've seen points to 6-8 GB of usage at 4K. Note that most apps report VRAM allocation, which is not the same as usage.

      Asset streaming via DMA is only going to assist matters.

      And before someone tells me about Godfall, what settings? What texture sizes, what compression?

      The only definitive answer we have right now is 4k by 4k textures, which every 4K game already uses… the question you should be asking is what insane full detail draw distance requirements is that game using, and what happens when you adjust them down a notch?

      • cille745 on 10/11/2020 - 12:17
        +1

        Godfall is an AMD sponsored game, of course they're going to list VRAM requirements as higher than what Nvidia offers

        • jasswolf on 10/11/2020 - 13:01

          I know, but they can't just fudge that without huge backlash (legal and PR). The question is: what settings are involved and are they realistic or reasonable.

          If they're doing something like turning texture compression off, people will savage them for it.

          Whatever the case, heavily sponsored games by chip makers rarely are good games beyond technical prowess.

    • FabMan on 10/11/2020 - 13:41

      XBox Series S has 10GB for system and video RAM, while Series X and PS5 have 16GB and they are supposed to last us 8 years. I think this 8GB will be enough for a long time if you use 2560 x 1440 or lower resolutions for your monitor, unless you expect to run every new game for years to come at max settings.

      At 1440p and max settings RDR2 uses 4.4GB, Metro Exodus uses 5.5GB, Doom Eternal uses 7.5GB, and Control uses 7.8GB. Though you have to understand the difference between allocation and utilisation, most games will allocate significantly more than it uses, the idea is that it will try to prevent pop-ins or stuttering, and faster storage mediums (SSDs) will reduce or prevent those issues, which is what the consoles are trying to achieve. Those after max visuals regardless of fps would probably prefer more VRAM, while those who want high fps and will take slightly lower graphical settings will definitely be fine with 8GB of VRAM as more VRAM doesn't help fps.

      Despite what I say, I'll be getting AMD with more VRAM as I typically play RPG's and I don't mind lower fps for better visuals, plus my 1440p ultrawide monitor only does 75hz anyway.

      Tl;dr, an RTX 3070 will give purchasers fast gaming for years to come at 1440p or lower resolutions, optimised settings, and with an SSD.

      After about 1 month of waiting, $100 extra total out of the 4 weekly paychecks isn't so significant.

        Also haven't broken down the 3080 preorder numbers to see if they're relatively high compared to 3070 sales (ie. are some people are dick measuring without bothering to swing for a monitor upgrade).

    • pacificstorm on 10/11/2020 - 09:52
      +2

      Why? Minimum requirement is still 2gb vram and some games just starting to need 3-4gb max innit? So 8gb should be enough for another decade or so, right?

      • jasswolf on 10/11/2020 - 11:45
        +2

        6GB-8GB for 4K currently, but presumably game engines are sliding up the LoD slider so you can see one or two extra objects on the horizon…

        ML upscaling techniques like DLSS can decrease VRAM requirements, asset streaming via DMA can reduce in-memory requirements, but that will take time to implement.

        Mesh shaders will combine with this to allow more efficient asset streaming, and compression improvements always come over time.

        And all of this assumes you'll even spot the difference if you turn the draw distance one slider down. I think NVIDIA have made the right bet until they need to move to HBM for bandwidth purposes (which should be next gen).

        * 6900XT >= 3090 (for the price of a 3080)

    2. The 2080Ti Scar (it still hurts)
    3. Incoming RX6000
    4. Incoming Zen3
    5. Smart Access memory (With16G Vram….Still Waiting for the Test)
    5.5 Also waiting for all the 4K 144mhz Mons to be…matured/cheaper

    So:
    AMD Yes!

      Im no fan boy of neither and competition is great but Ive been waiting for a decent AMD card for good 7 years now and they are a let down each and every time, even if they manage to come close to nvidia 3080 they still cant beat 3090 and nvidia will just up the ante a little - also AMD just cant compete with Intel and Nvidia AND make chips for next gen consoles . they are not that big so the stock will be VERY low and that will as always push their prices up to the point where they are not worth it.

        still cant beat 3090

        6900xt

        • ln28909 on 10/11/2020 - 18:17

          Not cut and dry like that 3090 is expensive because it has 24gb vram, why you would need that much, that I do not know

    Even though the price is ok, but I still prefer 6800xt, I use AMD cpu and I think you get better performance if you pair it with the AMD gpu. AMD is only like a week away. hang in there. paying $100-200 more but get double the ram and 30-50% increase in performance is worth for me.

    After the release of AMD GPU next week, you will see 3070 in stock everywhere with a reduced price. So no need to rush

    People mad about 8gb VRAM but performance tests show similar performance to 2080ti with better efficiency and greatly reduced price tag. Y u mad?

    Bloody hell. Since when have GPUs been this expensive. I remember buying a 970 for like $400 back in the day.

      COVID. People stuck at home more so more demand for at home entertainment matched with less factory output means there's more demand than supply, so prices go up.

      due to bitcoin

        Cryptocurrencies, Artificial Intelligence (nVidia specifically, due to CUDA based implementations being common) and other GPU based computation have really driven the demand up. Gaming is still a big portion but I don't think the gaming market share is what it used to be.

      • Namesareapain on 10/11/2020 - 15:05

        FFS! No one mines bitcoin on a GPU anymore and have not for quite a few years!

        • spad on 10/11/2020 - 17:04

          there are many and some of them are still profitable

    • s1Lence on 10/11/2020 - 14:07

      Well you can still wait and get a 2060 super 400-500 if you wait for sales and that shreds any game in 1080p/1440p, the problem is we expect much higher resolution and refresh rates nowadays so the cards get pricier to meet that need
      best bang for the buck is still getting a card at that price point (400-500) during a sale

    Keen, but dimensions are questionable for the NR200. Really pushing the limits.

    • Sergio2k on 10/11/2020 - 11:50

      I'm in the same boat. Wonder if it barely fits…

        I saw this post with an MSI trio 3080 that is 323mm long. The Galax is 329mm, and case spec says 330mm. The picture is interesting as it looks like the front panel cut out may actually be built to take an extended card. Could be reassuring or at least reduce risk of it not fitting

    Nothing gripes me more then a sale promotion at standard pricing.

    • jdawg7 on 10/11/2020 - 12:13

      Free shipping might of been a deal

    Price is still too high. Waiting for the 3060 Ti
