        • jasswolf on 21/02/2022 - 17:36

          Switching two process generations and to the better foundry means any big performance claims aren't really a stretch.

          Doubling of performance per watt and density are almost a given too.

          • maxbon on 22/02/2022 - 09:16

            @jasswolf: I think we’ll see a major spec boost for non-technical reasons as well. For one, PC gaming hardware needs to differentiate more from the new consoles to justify the much higher price. And secondly, NVIDIA wants to own the PC gaming space for good. AMD parts are barely competitive as it is. Doubling down on Raytracing and DLSS will make NVIDIAs GPUs even more inevitable for a gaming PC.

            • jasswolf on 22/02/2022 - 12:23

              @maxbon: It already does differentiate?

              NVIDIA just don't want to mess around with a process disadvantage again while they slowly move to MCM, as Intel and AMD are pushing ahead of them there.

              • maxbon on 24/02/2022 - 10:58

                @jasswolf: But not enough. When the PS4/XBO generation came to an end, a top-end gaming PC would run circles around the consoles. With the arrival of PS5 or Xbox Series X, that gap has shrunk dramatically. Consoles are certainly better specced than your average gaming PC. And even top-end PCs (think: RTX 3080) do not offer that much of an advantage. Right now, I certainly wouldn't spend 3x or more on a PC that merely delivers slightly better resolution and effects, but nothing too dramatic.

                • jasswolf on 24/02/2022 - 15:17

                  @maxbon: The XBox Series X is basically a scuffed RTX 2080 that is often performing like a 2060 Super for the time being. You're overstating its capability, though there's plenty of optimisation to be done.

                  By the time that optimisation is done by most game studios, there will have been another 2 generations of GPUs from NVIDIA, including the 40 series this September, which should be a 2x gain over the RTX 30 series.

                  From where I sit, the 3060 Ti is more powerful than an optimised Series X, and the 3060 would be nipping at the heels of the PS5… and that's before you're turning on DLSS, or similar features that utilise tensor math acceleration to deliver improved performance.

                • deeby on 25/02/2022 - 23:41

                  @maxbon: There's no denying consoles offer more performance, substantially greater in fact, for the money. What they offer in performance for the dollar, they sacrifice in flexibility. They cannot multi-task, games are overpriced, games cannot be modded and there is a limited library of games compared to PC.

                  IMO only Nintendo consoles are worth considering because they offer an actual different experience from PC gaming. Great fun having a blast playing Mario Kart or Tennis with friends or at parties.

    • BennyHe2018 on 21/02/2022 - 16:25

      Also the power consumption is much higher as well. I reckon Nvidia needs water cooling in their next gen.

          The rumour is it can draw "up to" 600W, But while the founders edition 3090 has a TDP of 350W the Galax HOF OC 3090 cards draw 500W while still being air cooled. They could be talking up to 600W with a 4090 ti in some kind of crazy OEM card, rather than standard cards.

          I imagine for us plebs scrambling to try grab a 4080 it will look like a pretty normal video card.

        This part has to be bogus. There's no cause for power consumption to skyrocket like that.

        With the density and architectural comments coming in, even a 30% clock bump would barely move the needle in terms of any power increase… probably allow for lower power consumption.

        Thermal density is the bigger concern, and probably where the rumours come from.

      That's all cool and stuff but we know drop dates mean nothing if you can't get your hands on them (paper launch). Also price gouging, etc etc.

      • Chaffix on 21/02/2022 - 17:15

        Very true, however I have better hopes for this next generation. Nvidia have spent something like $10b on fab capacity for the 4000 series, and have suggested they're much more optimistic about availability for the second half of 2022. Fingers crossed.

              +1

              @jasswolf: I think it was. If you remember how the first crypto fall hit the company, there were enough cards produced by nvidia and there were enough the miners were offloading. And when the next gen was about to be launched, everyone just snatched up the used cards instead. nvidia shares fell. I think its a lesson jason learnt. Not to simply add too many cards into the market so that when crypto crashes, there will be waay too many cards on ebay and on inventory. makes marketing sense actually. This way even the cards prices are also kept high. I may be wrong though.

              • jasswolf on 21/02/2022 - 18:05

                @John Doh: There was no global pandemic then, and there was a lot of negative press for Turing at launch… they moved some chips into EoL as is normal. That is not an artificial shortage… if anything, they over-ordered Pascal chips during the crypto craze.

                You've got this wrong… we're not at EoL yet, it's just demand for silicon and demand for cards. Availability is climbing in retail channels, and prices will continue to drop. The used/crypto sell-off is coming in May-July, due to ETH changes.

                • John Doh on 21/02/2022 - 18:23

                  @jasswolf: I dont know, that was pretty much what was discussed in many youtube channels. And I dont think Turing was luaunched then. Because I clearly got a mined GTX 1080 when turing was not launched yet. Again, i may be wrong about the scarcity stuff.

    10gb seems borderline too little nowadays for such a long term buy. My 1070 purchased in 2017 has 8gb of ram. Amazing that this card 5 years later has the same amount.

    For the future with 4K textured I think VRAM will start to struggle on 8gb.

    • BennyHe2018 on 21/02/2022 - 16:32
      +8

      Nvidia should publish RTX 3080 12GB initially but they chose to turn it into the money grabbing version. 16GB VRAM like in AMD will be more future proof.

      • JSONBourne on 21/02/2022 - 16:33
        +1

        Agree. 16gb and I would be opening my wallet. Close to $2k is too much for 8gb which could quickly become problematic once you go 4K.

      • dfg555 on 21/02/2022 - 17:02
        +4

        problem is in 5 years time that 6900 xt will perform like crap to the point that youll need to use fsr to keep up FPS which nullifies the 16GB vram. high vram implementation is only seen as a short term fix/boost in marketing. just look at the 1080 ti once the fastest consumer GPU, sure it has 11gb of vram but that card is inefficient and runs like garbage compared to the 3070. people with a 1080 ti nowadays most likely have to turn down settings or hope to use FSR if the game they're playing supports it if they want 100+ fps.

        • John Doh on 21/02/2022 - 17:24
          +2

          I agree, you probably dont need 16GB for few more years to come at which point the core cant handle the load.

        • conza on 21/02/2022 - 17:33
          +3

          Hi there, 1080ti owner here, not exactly, but it depends on your resolution and if you're playing the latest triple A games. It can't run ray tracing at all, and the 'most' demanding games it has to have lower settings for playable frame rates, it is approximately 25-30% slower than a 3070 but given it's larger frame buffer there are scenarios where the 1080ti will pull ahead.
          No regrets buying it, especially given the hell storm that we're in now, the price to performance I paid isn't far off what this 3070 is, 4.5 years later, and even the 20 series was a joke so, GPUs have been bad for longer than people realise.

        • foxpants on 21/02/2022 - 18:20

          So people with a 3070 might need to turn down texture settings one, maybe two notches, but more and more Pascal lacks abilities and modern architecture that will allow it to keep up, but lets even say it doesn't and will hold it's ground relative to a 3070.

          Would you rather play with Ultra textures at 70fps, or very high textures at 100fps? (plus have RT and DLSS to dabble in, should you choose).

      • jasswolf on 21/02/2022 - 17:56

        No, they were using the wider bus with 3090 and professional cards, then moved onto the 3080 Ti, before moving onto the 3080 to use existing stock to push out more affordable cards.

        They have more customers than just gamers.

    • cille745 on 21/02/2022 - 16:50
      +3

      Pretty much no games use that much VRAM, even at 4k. Truth is you'll run out of performance long before VRAM on a 3080 as a lot of games are only just hitting 4k 60fps now

    • tm32 on 21/02/2022 - 17:08
      +5

      The type of VRAM is probably more important than the capacity. GDDR6X is ~50% more performance the GDDR6, let alone the GDDR5. Bandwidth is key.

      Its largely marketing still. 8GB is plenty for some time.

    • foxpants on 21/02/2022 - 17:25
      +3

      I've had a 3080 since day 1, I mostly game now at 5160x2160 which is 30%+ more pixels than 4k, AAA games as they're released, yet to have a single game take up the whole 10GB. I'd wager 10GB will be satisfactory until the PS5.XBSX is totally superseded (not just refreshed).

      And even if a game at ultra needs more, like 11 or 12GB and you need to go down from ultra textures to very high or high, will that look bad? 10GB of textures? doubt it. I'd certainly rather have the better RT performance and DLSS over a comparable rasterization preforming AMD card that just has more VRAM.

      • KennyPowers on 21/02/2022 - 18:47

        Modding skyrim with 200-300+ mods can eat through vram like a fat kid going to town on an all you can eat buffet. That game is like an addiction for people who get the mod fever. New bucket in 8K-12k options!

        I'm sure there are a few other titles. Been on 1070 and 2080 on release, 8GB vram has been fine but personally definitely wouldn't want a newer gen card with any less that 12GB tbh.

        • foxpants on 21/02/2022 - 18:52

          I think we can agree Skyrim modders are kind of in their own league for VRAM needs and should absolutely be seeking cards with above average amounts.

          But I'd wager for your average gamer over the next ~3 years, 8GB will be fine at 1440p and 10GB will be fine at 4k, with the odd ball tearer here or there (or AMD purposely shipping sponsored games with texture packs, because that's their play with high VRAM cards this gen), and then dropping one setting will still be more than aedqate fro great image quality, as again even 8GB of VRAM isn't exactly muddy smeary-spec textures.

    • badonde on 21/02/2022 - 19:58

        I'd rather get TI instead of these because it has:

        Performance of 3080
        Greater Power consumption than TI
        Higher GPU Temp thanTI
        Price between 3080 and TI (some are selling > TI)

  • Randomstranger on 21/02/2022 - 16:48
    +2

    VRAM is a little more nuanced an issue these days due to DLSS and FSR. Sure, 12gb is better but not so much more that you won't still run into problems and have to tweak settings. I think the ray tracing bottlenecks of the AMD cards are more concerning than the potential VRAM problems of an RTX 30 series as these can be offset by DLSS and FSR. That being said I bought the 3080 for 1440p gaming over the next few years. At least with the 4y extended warranty and DLSS or FSR I can make it last. The AMD 6000 series is already being crushed by any title with meaningful ray tracing such as global illumination or path tracing.

    • Phoebus on 22/02/2022 - 17:45

      Why not play at max fps at 480p on your 4K TV and let the TV do the upscaling?

      • Randomstranger on 22/02/2022 - 21:21

        Interestingly DLSS on a 1440p screen and running in 'Ultra Performance' mode renders at about 480p (852.48 x 479.52, pixel density of 408,781) then scales this back up for a 1440p output image.

      I dunno I think I’m out. Still clutching a 1070 that I paid $500 for years ago. I just don’t know why anyone would want to pay the cost of my first car for a video card. Unless money is no object, which case - are there really that many of you out there?

        The cost of 2nd hand car has also surged these days. GPU's price surge is from both inflation and artificial scarcity from manufacturers, miners and scalpers.

        pretty much +1s to every comment in this section from my view. i used the 1k from not buying a graphics card and turned it into a massive profit through property investment last year. meanwhile miners spent 2.5k to earn $1 a day lol…or worse yet, gamers spent 2.5k to play some boring games lol…

          1k for investment property? lego house?. I spent 1k on one of the coins and its worth $200k, much better than your 'property'.

          And 2.5k card for $1 a day must be really stupid miner. 2.5k is more than enough to buy 2x 3080 FHR, they reached ROI in 100 days early last year and sold double the price end of last year. That 2.5k card investment would yield $10k profit if you know what you're doing instead of $1 a day lol.

    HODL you say? Well, if it's an LHR model, then HODL….

    I don't know much about PC. But if the recommended PSU for a GPU is let say 550 watt, do you think 600 watt PSU will be sufficient or should I get something like 750 watt PSU? Thank you for your help everyone.

    • BennyHe2018 on 21/02/2022 - 20:22

      Just follow the guide of manufacturer. It cannot hurt with more watts. Just make sure your PSU is from reliable brand. Bronze rated PSU should be the minimum to get.

    • PlaneProof on 21/02/2022 - 20:22

      750 watts to be safe. Better to have more power than just enough to cover.

      a high quality 600w psu eg. Seasonic Prime Ultra Titanium 650W will power a high end GPU such as the rtx 3090 or rx 6900 xt with no issues. but if you want to keep it simple a corsair rm750/x will pretty much power any gaming system nowadays.

    Funny so many people scrambling for a generation of gpus that was short on ram, now the 2022 versions of 3080 are out with 2 gigs+ more ram.

      terrible at mining and much more expensive for few extra FPS. the 10gb 3080 has better value for money.

    3080 shows as OOS.

    still rocking with my strix 980ti & i77 6700k skylake.

    looking forward to see how the new ryzen 4 & 7000 series will perform before building my next pc

    • charkwayteo on 22/02/2022 - 16:46

      On the same boat got my 980ti on release for like 800 aud almost 7 years ago, still running like a champ. But will probably go all out on the next top tier stuff later this year rtx 4090 should last till 2030 lol

  • aeezy on 22/02/2022 - 17:25

    hmmmmm $1200 for a 3070… with crypto taking a dive lately they might get cheaper yet. but my gtx 970 could kick the bucket any day with its age.. what to do?

    • Randomstranger on 22/02/2022 - 18:52

      If you have eBay Plus you can pick up a 3070 Ti Gaming OC from Harris Technology or Computer Alliance for about $1220.

  • getit on 26/02/2022 - 15:38

    4080 will come out next year, not this year.

  • mrderrickc on 26/02/2022 - 19:19

    Anyone know what the difference is between the MSI GeForce RTX 3080 VENTUS 3X and the plus model?

    Can't see any differences on the MSI site, apart from a different backplate design.
