Nvidia 3000 Series Tonight

RTX 2080 Ti's come and get 'em - https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_n...
Mmm.... I've kind of gone off the boil a bit ... My 2070 Super cost me £530 and is a year old a week on Friday ... I might get £250 for it now ? I'm having 2nd thoughts ... Partly because I would be throwing the best part of £250 away and partly because do I really need that extra performance at the moment ...

That's the cost of being an early adopter I'm afraid. 
I know a couple of guys with 2080ti's that are rather upset its now seemingly worth less second hand that a new 3070...

Oh christ my 1080Ti is worth bugger all by the looks of it, I did get it relatively cheap though @ £300 last year.Overclockers have a far few on there now, the EVGA ICX3 for £659 is looking like a good option, especially when the MSI gaming trio is listed @ £750.
I'll need to see some proper test reviews first though, as I'm not sure on the reference design, the front fan looks like it'll just blow hot air straight into your CPU cooler.

There are some of them with 'buy it now' prices of around £800 
Good luck with that!maniac886 said:
Looking at the 3070 but hoping that a smaller version of the 3080 is released!
The founders edition card at 285mm long is the smallest so far. I think the special cooler helps, OEMs going with more traditional cooling seem to need more real estate to keep them cool.But I hear GK and the likes already have water blocks already designed, so remove the big cooling and you have a small board underneath, if the water block is small enough that would work. You just need to find space for the reservoir and bits.
The Alphacool one - https://wccftech.com/alphacool-readies-geforce-rtx... doesn't look too long to me.

Thanks for the info - that card looks great.But I hear GK and the likes already have water blocks already designed, so remove the big cooling and you have a small board underneath, if the water block is small enough that would work. You just need to find space for the reservoir and bits.

Looks like Asus are developing a smaller cards for the RTX 30 series.
"We have even more GeForce RTX 30-series graphics cards in the works, including a handy Turbo design that exhausts hot air directly from cases. It’s perfect for small-form-factor builds or enclosures that can use a helping hand in keeping system temperatures in check. Stay tuned. "

I was tempted to ordering an EVGA 3080 for FS2020 on 4K but reading the specs here it’s a PCie 4 card - what does that mean if I have a PCIe 3 MoBo?
It'll be fine pcie4 is fully backward compatible. You'll miss out on some absolute performance with the nvme io mapping perhaps
