Just wait another 3 years or so, for the next generation with 20% increase in ALU count.... Or 3000 series has meltdown/degradation issues similar to RTX2080ti Micron memory meltdown. Then everyone wants their working RTX2000 back.... I stopped buying newest computer hardware a long long time ago. It's a waste of money. But the increase in performance is still kinda interesting. |

I'm running a 1080 so a 3090 is a compelling upgrade. I keep thinking about getting a PC VR headset as well and not just having the PSVR one. I also don't think Nvidia would hurt their own performance just to use an Intel part. If it made their product look better they'll use an AMD CPU; That doesn't make them look bad because they don't make CPUs. They don't typically have long stretches where they're competing with AMD for the GPU crown either(for a while now). If they changed their brand back to ATI I might consider buying one. I'd just install my ATI version of Mechwarrior and pretend I'm young again. I think I've used Nvidia since they move to hardware T&L... Except for one PC where the best video card I could get was ATI(X1650 Pro for my server with only an AGP slot). |

The vocal "Fanboys" in the gamer crowd are *loud* and love to get into an outrage over the smallest things ;D --- End quote --- These fanboys are tiny minority. I doubt NV (or AMD for that matter) cares about them much, as they are not the ones who bring them cash. It's the silent majority who buys OEM systems is the target audience. |

--- Quote from: hans on September 09, 2020, 02:26:11 pm ---I'm also looking forward to the 3000 series cards, but will probably wait for more leaks/news on the AMD cards. I think that the 3070 is a little disappointing since it only features 8GB VRAM, which means it has been stagnant from since 1070 series (+1070 Ti) and 2070 (+2070Super) cards. That's 3 generations with 8GB VRAM on the 70 model.. In addition, the 3080 only offers 2GB more. I'm not sure how big of an advantage the 11GB VRAM on the 2080Ti then is, maybe in exceptional cases.. but the 3080 has much more bandwidth (PCI-e 4 to system RAM, and GDDR6X). I rather would have seen 10-12GB on the 3070, and 12-16GB on the 3080. --- End quote --- As I understand, 3070 is meant to be for a high refresh 2K gaming and for that 8 GB is more than enough. 3080's positioning is more troublesome, while current titles don't require more than 8 GB of VRAM for 4K, who knows what will happen in 1-2 years from now. I plan to get 3080 for 2K gaming at high refresh rate (got 2K@144Hz HDR10 panel here) with some future-proofing, so for me 10 GB is enough. |

AAA titles are one thing. There are other more niece use cases that will pretty much consume as much video hardware as you want to throw at them. DCS World being the one I'm interested in, but also Flight Simulator 2020. MS Flight Sim has always made current hardware seem inadequate. I understand 2020 is no exception with a 2080Ti barely able to run on High settings and coming nowhere near 60fps. |
