When are the RTX 3090 reviews out

[El_MUERkO]

I think you'll be waiting a very long time. If the 3090 is only 11% faster than a 3080, where does a 3080 Ti sit? 7% faster for £1000+? We know at this point that Nvidia is launching a 20GB 3080 soon too, so the potential VRAM argument is out the window. No doubt the 20GB 3080 will also be pushing £1000 itself, leaving even less room for a 3080 Ti even price-wise.

I think the Ti comes into play when Nvidia switch from Samsung's 8nm process to TSMC's 7nm process in the spring as speculated. I've just watched Linus's review, Nvidia are claiming the 3090 is for content creators, so when the 3080 Ti surpasses it they'll say that was always going to be the case.

3090 is an overpriced heap of **** putting it mildly.

Exactly, I can't see any room for a 3080Ti and no headroom for a Titan either. Short of a new run on a better process I can only see price being the deciding factor if AMD are competitive.

I don't agree it being a heap of asterisks (going by reviews it apparently does what it does really well, though people should really leave this card to those who need the VRAM) ... but it's indeed way overpriced at that.

So to keep it short and simple, it’s a big gaming dud?

Yep. Hence why they are calling the 3080 the flagship. AMD have a real chance now, get the popcorn ready

It's about 10% better for 100% more money. It's not a Ti, it's an almost-titan.

It just isn't worth the price VS the 3080 to most humans. (An extra 15% performance for over double the price)

If you have a huge disposable income I guess nothing matter anyway so buy ahead.

Already got a 3080 on order, but I probably won’t get it until after big navi news, so still time to make a choice.

 

[pc-guy]

Just had a quick look on a competitors site and 30 minutes after launch there are currently 545 checking out on just one make alone! Wow Nvidia have sold a lot of 3090 cards.

scalpers?

Hardware Unboxed"

"Boring" "Pointless" "Waste of money"

 

[robfosters]

I think it looks butt ugly I a rig too. It’s just far too big.

Best way, hedge your bets. I'm just an observer for this one, just here for the entertainment

scalpers?

No, Nvidia wanted everyone to buy the 3090 out of desperation

 

[Darujhistan]

How different it all looked for Ampere just a few weeks agao...

Great launch, great reception, good pricing and now?

Ampere is now a Papere meme.

Overhyped performance, zero stock of either card they have released, millions of gamers ****** off and/or gouged, the prices were NOT what they were meant to be full stop (thanks retailers). And the the 3090 is a complete and utter lemon only an idiot would buy for gaming.

A disaster for Nvidia.

You dont need to look at it!

 

[banbom44]

Lol on Ebay already some 3090's wanting 3 grand for them complete jokers.

 

[ketma]

^ Yeah, scalpers have helped ruin it for everyone else.

Worse thing IMO is the lack of supply of price fixed FE's initially, even if they were to creep up after a few weeks (as the 2080 Super did). Big disappointment.
AIB's I don't care for because as is the case they're more open to the forces of supply/demand and market freedoms of third party retailers
