A new era in 3D graphics stands before us.

First-gen Raytracing GPUs:

Nvidia "Turing" - Quadro RTX 5000 / 6000 / 8000 (US$ 2'300 / 6'300 / 10'000)

3080ti this year @ $999???? I wouldn't have expected it this year.

So Zotac partner cards are up on OCUK,the Trinity version is the same price as founders. They also have £639 and £659 versions

The 5 year warranty they give makes that a tempting card for me.

I have a Zotac 1080,Amp edition,not the best cooler but never had an issues once I set a custom fan profile.

Also means at least some partners may release cards below founder edition costs. If more dont I just see everyone going for founders edition

Also 3080 requires a 750 Watt PSU? My current PSU is 650. I've read some stuff about differing numbers of connector pins etc. So is there anything to look out for from the PSU, or will I just buy the best value 750 out there.

The 750w was based off a i9 10900k, but I’ll wait for reviews .

I'm very tempted to jump in and buy an RTX card, what niggling me is, if nVidia is this good what have AMD got up their sleeves. Will AMD have more widely accepted standards for RT given they're in the consoles? I'm half thinking about the 3080 but more the 3070 - hopefully we'll have some more info from AMD by then.

The AMD date's still the start of October isn't it? For the sake of a month, I'd wait and see. Chances are good you won't even have a 30 series in your hands by the time you've got the AMD data.

Nvidia's no charity - if they're bringing their prices down and their performance up like this, AMD is very likely to be releasing something that makes the 20 series style gouging non-viable.

It has a 320W TDP and requires 2x separate 8-pin PCIe connectors.

PCIe gen 4: required or optional? if Optional, how bad will it be on gen 3?

Hardware unboxed did some testing and saw about 1-2% boost on the 5700XT in certain scenarios. I don't think it's going to be as optional as many say. I think it's more complicated than just looking at uni-directional bandwidth and saying it'll be grand. That said, pulling numbers out of thin air, I don't think we'll see more than single digit gains.

Talk about an awful time to need to upgrade your PSU with the pandemic

I'm in a similar boat, but going to wait until the reviews come out before making a decision. Nvidia are recommending a 750w, but it all depends on your existing setup I guess.

Just bare in mind the Seasonic cables they are making specifically for this recommend an 850W. I wouldnt buy until the reviews come out tbh. See what they recommend. Ive a 750W corsair and im sitting on the fence with a 1000W psu sitting in my amazon basket! overkill of course but if i got one that overclocked well god only knows what kinda power draw it will have.

Apparently you get the 12 pin splitter cable in the box with the new cards...so no need to worry about that. Id just get a good brand (Corsair, Seasonic, Thermaltake) with a 80 Gold stamp or similiar.

Last thing I would be skimping on is power with these cards tbh.

From the sound of it anyway, it looks like the 20 series will fortunately be an outlier in terms of price/performance rather than the start of a new trend.

Digital Foundry have the 3080 anyway but they said they were only allowed to speak about certain games in their testing.

Optional.

Honestly not sure it will make any difference. At least not enough that Nvidia didn't really mention it as a benefit during the launch

What's the quickest way to reliably get a 3080? Those OC pre orders, or the founders edition?

Not sure how this card makes sense in terms of its positioning if it's going to be between the 3070 and 3080 - and presumably circa $600. Unless its sole purpose is to launch later to counter AMD and allow price drop on the 3070

Yeah, prices and pics up on OCUK......the Inno3d Cards look absolutely stellar.

Asus tax!

Revoker88

Just finished watching that myself,came to post.

Measured for sure but still saying as it stands it looks to have really shaken up the market. Let's hope the benchmarks hold up

Also looking at partner cards on OCUK I dont really see a reason not to try and get a founders edition. Unless the cooler looks more impressive than it performs but I didn't get that impression from the presentation givin the claims about temps

There's an Asus 10gb model up for £799?! Which makes no sense to me giving founders £649

Mr Crispy

A more measured response from Hardware Unboxed than some of the other Tech Tubers.

No idea why you'd do this when spinning up an Amazon instance is so cheap

Mr Crispy

I'd be very surprised if they didn't have a Super or Ti waiting in the wings, should AMD get near/pass the 3080. There's also a 20GB 3080 rumoured to appear in October.

More like they're saving the 3060 announcement. If the '60 is in keeping with what they announced today then that would be better to battle AMD with.

No doubt. But on the off chance that AMD manage to get close to the 3080 id be very surprised if they dont have a 3080ti waiting too. Either way its going to be good for pc gamers.
