Have you played Control ? It's a great game that when played with Ray Tracing is night and day it really makes a huge difference. Like you i'm playing at 1440 but my 2070 struggles with it on... DLSS certainly helps but i'm hoping the 3080 will give that extra horsepower...
No I haven't I've seen it though, and it looks very smart! Might give it a whirl then and see if it can convince me to spend more money

Well I was thinking of taking the time this year to do a first PC build and I'm glad I waited...I think the 3070 is the sweet spot looking at it...I'm not sure if I'd even use that to it's full potential never mind the 3080!
I've currently got a GTX970 on an i5-4590 and am very tempted to upgrade with the 3070 as I was planning on upgrading to a 1080ti this year but it seems they've stopped making them!Though my benchmark score reckons my graphics are better than my CPU so maybe that can be swapped out too...

4 cores 4 threads is a bit of a bottle neck in many modern AAA games so if you can find a cheap i7 to drop in there this will help a lot (mainly effects the minimums and .1% fps rates). 970 is still a good 1080p card (medium to high) but some games (e.g. Doom eternal) eat up that 3.5 GB memory very quickly and this will only get worse.

Never tried dlss
Yeah it's interesting and seems to work very well and the image quality is very good but i'm old school .... If I want 60fps at 1440p then I want it at 1440p....Interesting vid here by Digital Foundry ...

3090 prices already up.
I've only just begun to find the limits of my 1080ti with Microsoft flight simulator.
Am waiting to see how demanding the next round of vr hardware is before pondering a change.
Do you see the Inno X4 3090 and 3080 cards, 3 big cooling fans and one tiny fan on the side.3090 prices already up.

Wonder where the EVGA cards are

The Founders Edition with the innovative 2 fan cooling which seems to have been ignored by the 3rd parties going for what generally looks like a standard type cooling solution ? What's going on there ?
