there’s no real benefit to pcie4 right now

I am very happy that i can use the 8K Plus/X. For me the money is worth it. But i Know that you can not use it because of eyestrain. So your steps only makes sense.
If I am thinking to the Standard 100° FOV right now - it makes me sick 
So if i get my plus sold the 3090 is coming in to my house, if not then the 3080. Vram or not.
There you go.

Having 2080ti now I’m going to have to skip this gpu unfortunately. I did get 8kx yesterday and ran iracing league race. Looked and ran flawless.

if we want to do the playstation 5 thing and direct storage api to the nvme drive from the gpu while its under full load it’s definitely going to factor in.

well reports are that this is going to be in demo to developers next year, so games that actually use it aren’t likely before 2022 - no real point for that guy to replace his motherboard just yet when he’s already just upgraded to a 9900k
we also don’t know what the requirements are yet so “defnitely” is a bit of stretch
This is a naunced take:
Improvements shouldn’t scale linearly with Cuda cores, but it’s still probably a large jump in standard rasterisation performance. 70-80% in none rtx situations.
Will be interesting to see third party benchmarks when they get released.

Definitely, the 3090 looks like the Titan. I expect there to be a 3080 ti in the wings to counter AMD at some point.

borderlands 3 doesn’t have ray tracing, nor does doom eternal.
The 3070 is as fast as the 2080ti, plus minus depending on the game.

So in conclusion:
3070 is for people who want a 2080 Ti performance (raw game) and are on “budget”
3080 is for people who want the best price performance and can live with “only” 10 GB Vram
3090 is for people who want the best out of the best with a “futureproof” amount of Vram.
Also for people who will skip the next GPU line and want to keep this card for longer than 3-4 years.

I’m hoping for a 3rd party 20gb 3080.

rumours are already circling of a 3080ti with 20gb - it would be a repeat of what nvidia did with the 900 series

I think that the 3080/ti with 20 GB will cost 1099 $, exactly between 3090 and 3080.

Thanks for this, will check it out.
Personally I’m not one to ever be suckered in by tech hype, it does nothing for me. ‘The new shiny greatest thing’ is only worthwhile for so long. I’ll sit back and see what these things can really do in the real world, then maybe pick something up in 6 months, a year, or later, depending on what becomes available by then.
Okay thanks for the clarification. Might get a 3080 to replace my 2080ti then.
I see no scenario as to why I’d want to give 800 more for a 3090’s +20% performance though (?).

I’ll also be looking at how 8KX runs on my current rig before deciding whether to spend money right now on upgrading my graphics card and whatever else to go along with that upgrade.

Noooooo That is too much for me
Hush dstar. We don’t want to put that thought into very many minds and keep the prices up.
Thanks for this post. This is something I was also wondering.
It hurts doesn’t it? I’m in the same boat with you.
