Nifty little device, guess it's going to make for some very detailed readings.

 

The following is a note from the 3080 page on the Scan website that just got posted today:

Price guidance notice ** Prices for Ampere RTX 3080 series will start from £649 on day of release. With all the excitement, we are working hard to publish stable pricing leading up to the release date. Prices are constantly reviewed by our team whose aim is to ensure you are offered the best value. Watch this space it's an exciting launch**

 

When these online retailers finally open the flood gates on the 17th, no doubt they'll get thousands of orders.
I'm thinking it'll take at least a few days for all those shipments to get packed up and sent.
Like i've mentioned, hoping for pre-order to start 12am on the 17th as some sites are stating official release is 2pm on the 17th.

 

Min frames in Control 1080 RT on with 2080 is 42fps, 3080 is double that so min frames say 84, so at 1440p we can expect with 3080 around 56fps min.
All my results taken and basic averages worked out from here,

I love the way all these youtubers cover every single angle, but give you no real information. They constantly blow there own trumpet that they have people working for AMD/ Nvidia/ Intel providing them with information of what is coming. I honestly don't know why I keep watching them, they do my head in.

 

These "active" backplates are total rubbish, as every backplate.

 

Please do check Aquacomputer Kryographics RTX 2080Ti active backplate, I'm running on my RTX 2080Ti and definitely backside of RTX 2080Ti is much cooler than with EKWB backplate, with EKWB backplate backside RTX 2080Ti its quite warm to touch, I would say its close to be burnt by it

Hope this helps

Thanks, Jura

 

RTX 3070 to launch on October 15th

Nvidia stated 6am PDT. That is when they go on sale officially. So 9am eastern time you'll be able to purchase on websites. That is the official statement.

I am going to my local best buy. Hopefully stock isn't depleted when their doors open. That would suck.

 

Did you guys see this from Overlock. n e t:

You can skip to 9:21:
9:21 Farcry 5 - 4K, GPU maxed at 99%, 5GB Video Memory used, 62% faster than 2080S
9:54 Borderlands 3 - 4K, DX12, GPU maxed at 100%, 7.4GB Video Memory used, 56% faster than 2080S
10:24 Horizon Zero Dawn - 4K, GPU maxed at 99%, 9.9G Video Memory used, 76FPS average
10:54 Assasins Creed Odyssey - 4K, GPU at 97%, 7GB Video mem, 67fps average, 48% faster than 2080S
Forza Horizon 4 - 4K, 143fps, GPU at 97%, 48% faster than 2080S
11:23 Shadow of the Tomb Raider - 4K, DLSS ON GPU @ 99% with 99fps, DLSS OFF GPU @ 99% with 113fps, 7GB vram

Control - 4K, DLSS ON GPU @ 99% with 101fps, DLLS OFF GPU @ 99% with 59fps, 7.5GB video memory used
Death Stranding - 4K, DLSS ON GPU @ 99% with 170fps, DLSS OFF GPU @ 99% with 123fps, 5.1GB vram -------------------------------------------
Horizon Zero Dawn does shows that 10GB isn't enough for a flagship card. I'm sure that the 1080s/1080ti will provide more vram."

Yeah, I've seen those benchmarks all over the internet. They've been posted in different threads and the main guru3d page days ago https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/first-alleged-benchmark-results-geforce-rtx-3080-surface.html

Overall, i dunno... about as expected.
We're slowly getting a sense about where this thing's at, outside of Nvidia's cherry picked stuff.

But, when it comes to hard numbers and specifics, we'll have to wait for many different tests from many different sources.

 

48GB Cards are coming

No they aren't.

GDDR6x isn't available in 2GB modules yet.

 

Mate, i don't know weather to take you seriously or not. You also told us there was no such thing as GDDR6x

 

There isn't, JEDEC hasn't ratified this micron GDDR technology yet.

Micron however has specified that 16Gib modules are not in production at the present time.
So while Micron uses the name GDDR6x, there is no technology known as GDDR6x

 

I too belive a 48GB model will be orientated towards professional applications, and not a GTX / RTX gaming card. But damn, 48GB is still a lot.

 

Are you sure about that 9:00 a.m. est ?
Thank you
