Interesting to see what they can bring to the table. I'm just hoping this brings down the price of older cards.

Nice one if there is a significant performance hike my 2070 Super will be up for grabs

[Narcisus]

Well after watching that I went from total enthusiasm to couldn't really give a $hit ... Lost the will to live after 15 minutes ...

Competitively priced. RTX3080 is a no brainer.

Agreed 3080 pre-order for me as soon as I can will stick the 2070 Super on the bay unless a mate wants it ..

It's 11.2 inches.

I'm going to pre-order the 3080, and buy a Dremel in the meantime...

Currently have a 2080 super so will skip this but its good to see real improvements (hopefully..)

Mind you probably get a decent price for your 2080 ...

Probably but still running 1440p/60 so not sure I need to bother. Bought it in prep for vr/index but still no sales of that here and I've not found a monitor I want to replace the u2711 that I can sensibly afford.

Yeah they were a great panel .... I'm still running 1440 but upto 144Hz

Given the fan design and 12pin power socket, does it make it difficult to run two 3080/3090 cards on the same motherboard?

Looks like only the 3090 will be capable of sli.

I ran control with rtx fine at 1440 on a 2080 super so it should

You mean it should run fine on the 2070 or the 3080 ? I'll have another play now to jog my memory.

Damn well after ive downloaded it !

The 3080 I meant, I think 1440p with dx12 /rtx was pushing the 2080s

Ahhh.. haha ! I was hoping I had it wrong ... Just finished downloading so i'll give it ago at various settings....

After a very quick test on Ultra at 1440p getting around 30-35 / 1080p around 58 and at 1440p with DLSS around 63.

RobDickinson said:

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 ...

3080 looks like the perfect upgrade for my 1080 then.

Scan.co.uk have prices up of some of the aftermarket cards, looks like 650-750 range.

Wonder where the EVGA cards are

It's a while until you can buy any of them but they are coming - https://www.evga.com/articles/01434/evga-geforce-r...

Not sure I'm keen on the iChill .... Wonder what the little fan is doing ... Me being me I usually buy evga but not sure i'll be able to wait ... I hate waiting ...

[Narcisus]

So... 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 ?

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...

It's not so much the money but the more I've thought about it and the type of gaming I do now it would be wasted...
