AMD fanboy talking rubbish again.

Increasing the power vs a 3080, with the same cooler, I think the mem will be hot!

 

[MooMoo444]

I mean, technically:

The 3080 RRP is the same RRP as the 2080
The 3080ti RRP is the same RRP as the 2080ti

What's the problem? Supply, not Nvidia's price so you can hop off ya bandwagon

got something on your nose there

Looks like the cheapest card is going to be Zotac who also have the longest guarantee at 5 years.

I am going to wait - to me this looks like a very expensive set of cards that will probably end up cooking themselves. Who wants to pay over 1K for a card that is likely to die early after the guarantee runs out - some of them are only covered for 2 years.

Looks like planed obsolescence is coming to GPUs Market.

Phones, tablets, now laptop Are infected by this plague , now other components on the way there to.

3090 FE is already hot..... cant imagine what is basically a 3090 running on a 3080 cooler....

I can imagine. If you are lucky it lasts a couple of years at which point the PSU SCP works. If you are unlucky....

Good job there is a three year warranty?

More likely it's a noisier card than the 3090.

The 3080ti fe uses the same cooler as the 3080?! Speaking as a 3090fe owner That’s ******* insanity. The 3080ti will run like a toaster.

 

[Tanin'iver]

I'll pass. Disregarding the crazy prices at which you might actually be able to buy either one, and looking at the official retail prices for the founders edition ones:

3080 - £649
3080 Ti - £1049

Is the 3080 Ti faster? Of course. Is it £400 worth faster? Nowhere near.

 

[Blackjack Davy]

Linus seems quite chipper about it in his review. But he seems to be concentrating on the Ti compared to the 3090, but completely forgetting about the price to performance difference over the 3080.

that’s shoddy reviewing imo.

Wonder how much he got passed in a plain envelope for that one.

 

[FishPolice]

The T in Ti now stands for Turd

ti = turd injection

Turd Injection LOL!!!!

Surley 5%- 10% faster is worth £400

Wasn't the 2080ti quite a bit faster than the 2080 or am i remembering wrong.

30% I believe.

@Grim5 Exactly as these boys said, problem is your paying way more for no real extra performance and a tiny bit more vram. It's Nvidia's way of scalping while prices are way to high.

The 3090’s main cooling problem is the VRAM on the back of it. VRAM that the 3080ti doesn’t have.

Good point! The Vram cooling on the 3090 FE is a bit of a balls up but I undervolt anyway now and rarely top 90 degrees Vram in intense gaming (ray tracing etc) which I'm ok with.

It still sounds like the 3080Ti FE might struggle with cooling a bit though as it has a much higher fan ramp to compensate for the much smaller cooler compared to the 3090. My 3090 fans rarely go over 1200rpm on auto when gaming, they get too noisy for me past 1400rpm. 3080Ti FE sounds like it might be hairdryer levels....

the FE 3080ti still has terrible vram cooling for the vram on the front. Paul's Hardware in his review his 3080ti was thermal throttling at 108c and fans spinning hard to try and compensate and it wasn't even overclocked

Hmm, it's probably using the same awful thermal pads as the 3090. Also probably better off undervolting the card rather than looking to overclock - the rest of the range perform better (thermals, power draw and FPS) by being undervolted.

I have a new 3080 TI FE, definitely going watercooling again the stock fan is just too noisy for me even at about 60%. To be fair it idles at 60C too, although it is 25C in this room.

60c is super high even if your room was 35c that's too high.

the delta between room temp and gpu idle with air cooling should be about 10c, so your card should top out at 35c idle.

With water cooling that delta narrows further, my 3090 now idles just 1-2c higher than room temp
