If it's true, the 3080 does look amazing, we need to wait for some Iray benchmarks...
Steve.
true true, I think that it will do very well with iray ALTHOUGH i still dont like the small amount of Vram. I had 2 2070s and to get DOULBE the cuda cores in one GPU as opposed to what i had with those 2 is amazing.
no, you don't have to wait https://blog.irayrender.com/post/628125542083854336/after-yesterdays-announcement-of-the-new-geforce

This is showing the 3080 performing about twice as fast as the 2080 Ti in Blender.
im watching reviews.....im gonna be broke AF....OHHHH BOY
Please don't use all caps in your title.
According to Nvidia, this was a replacement to the 2080ti - presuming I'm remembering their presentation correctly.
riiiiiight i hear that. a 3080ti IF they call it that will be a good move probably have 16gb Vram and such..
Wow! Wow! Wow! I know what I'm saving for this winter's passtime.
I agree there is room for more cards, and there will certainly be some.
I think that review is the most balanced and objective.
If you're int he market for a new card for and your card is say a 980ti or older/lower spec, then I would say well worth the upgrade.
If you game at 1080p, not worth an upgrade if you have a 2080ti.
Looking at the Blender comparrison in the Linus Tech Tips review, it looks like being an amazing upgrade.
But from what one of the videos showed, it may not fit in your case because of depth, not just length. Maybe due to cooler, and the motherboard you have.
It was also interesting to note that AMD's Ryzen 9(?) was mostly not particularly affected in comparison to Intel's best, although there was a difference. And it is also worth noting that it did vary by title. EDIT: At 4k there was no difference in at least one of the reviewers, with any differences being mainly/mostly(?) due to 1440p.
If you're going to use it for 1080p gaming (and are a gamer), then I'm inclined to call you an idiot (sorry).
Wait till tomorrow for the AIB cards. The FE card runs at the limits of the power delivery for the card. That is not a good sign, basically for any 2x8 pin card as well. When Nvidia said this thing was 320W TDP that was actually what it ran at under benchmark loads.
CUDA rendering has traditionally been lower load but with CUDA now firing twice per clock, which is effectively OC, people should take care to keep an eye on power consumption on these cards till we get solid power and thermal benchmarks during long CUDA runs.
I agree.
I don't like how much power it needs. I pay the electric bill.
Thanks for that. First time I've seen actual RT (Cycles though - but at least something that uses Optix). Looks like a 3080 would be around 3 times faster than my vanilla 2070! The one I really want to see is the 3070 though. It's more in my price range.
Anyway, very encouraging.
By the way, a lot of the reviewers are making extremely dumb arguments. What you're getting is something better than a 2080 Ti for $400 less than a 2080 Ti. As Jay's 2c pointed out in his review, it's been a very long time since that kind of price/performance bump happened in consumer hardware.
That was also preceded by a massive bump up with the 2080 TI though, let's not forget. I mean really we're now back to slightly more reasonable prices? Still not exactly cheap though, just that they have somehow managed to make us think we're getting a bargain this time around. Kudos to their marketing I guess.
How much RAM is everyone waiting for? Can we expect a 3080 TI with 16GB in the new year? I have twin 1080 TIs and I'd love to upgrade, but 10GB isn't enough.
I wouldn't consider less than 24GB, which is what I was going for in an RTX Titan, but Nvidia have kindly made that (in the form of a 3090) cheaper.
I m tempted to wait for AMD offerings though (I use Blender for my renders), but that would preclude me using Iray on occasions. Interesting times.
you need to upgrade all your PC to PCIe 4.0
so, not only buy an expensive card but your motherboard too.
They are backward compatible. Nnce the render information is on the card, the PCIe version is of limited use I understand?
No, they're compatible with PCIe 3.0. You'll be fine with that. The two things you need to check are power supply and case size, especially in cases that have drive bays.
I'm not sure the arbitrage really matters here. Yes the 2080 Ti was ridiculously expensive, but then again NVIDIA has beancounters and knows more or less how many they'll sell at that price. They bin chips for them as well. The only thing that matters for most consumers is what you get for the amount you usually pay. I'm usually in the xx60 to xx70 range and have been pretty consistent in that for many years now, so that's how I look at it.
compatible Yes but won't have the full potential of that cards could offer.
I'm incredibly excited. I have four 1080i's... I actually have no idea if I'm going to keep some and upgrade to a 3090, or what.
I probably won't be able to fit more than two 3090's in my case.
Why, though? Wouldn't it work really well for 1080p gaming? Would you only buy hardware that works with what you have right now, or wouldn't it make sense to pick somethig up now that can drive 4K later in case you want to go that route?
looking into future potential resolution upgrades for your system is a good point, but i think its more aimed at people who currently have a 2080ti or a 2080, and are looking at upgrading to a 3080 just for 1080p gaming without considering going up to 1440 or 4k. Thats where it would be a bit silly to do at the present time. The difference in performance in that space is minimal, and both those cards can run every current game easily at 1080. With the one possible exception being flight sim 2020, which you may need to turn some settings below ultra to maintain 30+fps.
if you you were one of those people with a 2080 or 2080ti and the only use-case you have for it is 1080p gaming, a much smarter decision would be to, at the very least, pass on the itinital rush, and see what else comes out of the woodwork in the next 6 months or so. i.e, wait to see if we see Ti versions etc.
Unless you game at 4K it doesn't matter. The difference in data throughput for rendering is miniscule compaired to the time the card is performing the render. It's not like gaming where new data is cinstantly being fed to the card.
Yeeeep. Already have my 3090 $ set aside.
I upgraded from three 1080tis to two 2080tis and still saw a marked improvement in render performance. I would not be surprised if the 3090 out performed my two 2080tis. I think I could fit two 3090's in my case, I know my PSU could handle it...
