From the UK NV store?

no. Cooler on the FE edition is probably as good as you are going to get without going to water.

work of art that cooler.

Yeap! I'm extremely impressed with the FE cooler. IMO the AIB cards will be very noisy and run much hotter than that.

As an ex Vega 64 LE owner, and current Radeon VII owner, I can say AMD can't quietly cool 295W cards at all, I have to undervolt and reduce the fan curve to get anywhere near acceptable noise levels. I'm likely going to order a FE tomorrow if I can If they all sell out, I'll wait for restock, as much as I love AMD, I have no confidence that big navi will have drivers that work on launch, and that RX6000 cooler will likely be loud compared to the 3080FE's cooler.

10GB VRAM put of me off initially, but I highly doubt any game developer will have the balls to release a game that struggles at 4k on the 3080, as Nvidia's market share/mindshare is just too powerful to battle against.

So Hardware Unboxed reports that at 4K based on all the average of games they tested the 3080 FE is 77% faster than the 1080Ti and 71% faster than the 2080. Yeah, that will do me just fine as my fastest ever card was an Titan XP which I bought and sold for around £450. So well worth the wait in the end as for £200 extra I am getting a HUGE boost

Don't be silly. Some will have you believe you should scrounge ebay for a 2080 Ti on the off chance one of the worse condition cards come up for below £450.

Wife has just given me permission to buy one. Nearly twice the speed of my 1080ti.

What with the Quest 2 launching soon it's going to be an expensive month!

lol gur3d conclusion statement; 'The flipside of the coin is that you'll receive a product that will be dominant in that Ultra HD space. Your games average out anywhere from 60 to 100+ FPS, well, aside from Flight Simulator 2020 '

MSFS 2020 is just a bully to any GFX card.

MSFS is the new Crysis

Looking at around maximum 30% then over a 2080Ti perhaps less when both are overclocked?

Think i'll wait for 3080Ti then

I hit just short of 16k marks in timespy with the 3080 doing 18k

A lot less than 30%

I'm pretty underwhelmed in these results - given the power consumption. If these results were coming in at 250W it would be brilliant. That it's taking over 300W is really unimpressive.

Let's see if AMD can get close for a lot less power.

 

[Woodsta888]

I wonder what will happen if I use this 3080 to play MFS 2020 maxed out at 4K...with a 4690K (until Zen 3 comes out)?

In the hardware unboxed review that particular game didnt have much of an increase at all % wise over a 2080ti unfortunately. New game though and optimisations may increase performance

Isn't the xbox series x faster as it's promising 4k 120

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

For the improvements at 4k I'm in. Not happy about the price jumps today, thought about a FE but the power limits put me off. Are we going to see bios flashes available to lift the power limit for FE cards again?

 

[Participant]

I imagine these are instantly going to sell out on the nVidia website, I just hope they keep the supply of them coming rather than deliberately restrict supply to give AIBs a boost.

The forum will go wild citing "Bottlenecks", despite the fact you will likely still be having a much better experience than whatever card you currently have

Lol

Currently running a GTX 970 .

Does it!? Bloomin' 'ell!

MSFS doesnt exactly need 144fps to enjoy it.....

Who cares about how much they use? not me

Time Spy (regular) is only 1440p, and it seems to be that the 3080 is very underwhelming at 1440p, even in GPU-bound scenarios. You pretty much have to be running at 4K to get any real benefit from it.

Yeah but "Ultra 4K" settings on a PC are going to be different from whatever baked in 4K graphics settings the consoles end up using. It will be more comparable but the PC detail will be levels above still I would expect.

Plus I think they've already indicated about "Performance" presets so one will target 120fps but bring the details down whereas the alternative will run in full detail but target a lower fps such as 60.

You see this today in a lot of PS4 Pro titles 30 vs 60 etc.

Totally the same - with a 4k monitor I am really looking forward to grabbing one now

40fps is all i need in MSFS

Yeah the 3080 is a warm one, thats partly why I'd prefer a 3070 I think. AMD aren't usually ahead of nvidia when it comes to power but we shall see.
