What was the guy who used to post here that got the RTX 2080Ti (I think) at launch? Fitz something or other? I hope he buys the 3090 and fills us in on how it is.

I'll sit here in envy and enjoy the updates :pac:

Let's be honest here:
The 3090 will be out of most people's price range.
If you complain about it, you're not making money from it.

The real news will be the 3070/3080 price & performance.

If the 3070 rumours of performing on the level of a 2080ti are true (and not just on RTX/DLS 2.0) you'd have to imagine it'll be nearly impossible to get your hands on one this side of 2020.

My favourite brand for the last few yrs has been Inno3d, really like the coolers they use and the Inno3d GTX1060 iChill I have is brilliant and the fans and temps are super.

I think it was one of the Inno3D models I saw earlier, and it had an extra mini-fan on the side of the card!

Edit: Yup.

I agree I be happy with a 3070 but if I can swing a 3080 I be over the moon

That's good to know on EVGA. Maybe need to reconsider.

I’ll be interested in the power consumption, rumours suggesting the 3080 will need a 850w, we wait and see.

There was talk on the OcUK forums about how EVGA have gone down hill the last year or two. Their products are still fine, but their returns and repairs service has taken a huge dive apparently. Zotac seemed to be the new favourite for the balance between value, cooling, and service (fwiw).

Also,

My bad 👍

Usually just FE cards but there's been rumours that there'll be 3rd party cards available for the initial launch this time around.

I got the Founder's RTX2060 last time but thinking of going back to EVGA this time. Hopefully they make everything available shortly after the conference this evening.

Here's the 3090 Founder Edition's PCB (from Chiphell).

September is gonna be "Squeaky Bum" month for alot of people looking to upgrade or nab a bargain RTX 2xxx series!

I'm looking to move from my 970, probably to a 3070, both for gaming, but also for rendering. The RT abilities can make rendering much, much faster, along with the highly increased raster time. Feels like we've been waiting for this news for so long!

Revoker88

Yeah im not too pushed on RT features,it would be nice to be able to use some level of it but tbh I'm more interested in high frame rate gaming.

In that sense I'd be more interested in DLSS 2.0,higher frame rates while looking mostly as pretty sounds like a win to me.

Homelander

Even if it was real, so what....DLSS and RT, most games still don't support either, promising as they are, future they may be.

I really just want to see normal performance. I've a feeling we're going to get absolutely bent over the table again based on RT functionality, rather than get a solid deal on next generation.

I already have a 2070S, at this point I think I'm just gonna stick with it until it's dead/not even suitable for 1080P.

DLSS at 4k is rendering at 2560x1440 with fancy AI upscaling.

Native 4k with RT enabled is still a no go.

RT features are really gonna take off over the next few years with the next gen consoles supporting it and Unreal Engine 5 releasing next year heavily supporting it.

I think that's selling DLSS short; it's good enough for video-in-motion & the increase in FPS is a boon.

Revoker88

All RT games so it could well be RT performance for the 3090.

I highly doubt it could be that fast raster performance but could be twice the RT performance,large pich of salt though.

We will know soon

Ha, I'd laugh if they were legit, but looked fake because Jensen knocked them up himself at home during lockdown.
