10GB vram enough for the 3080? Discuss..

[Quartz]

and if anything 2k will become the next thing worldwide because its the next cheapest level,

I disagree: how many 1440p TVs are there? The number is going to be negigible. But 4K TVs are very popular.

Right, so people are going to jump from their 1080p monitors to 4k TV's?

I actually think 3440x1440p will be the next jump

They will want to game on 4k displays - be they TVs or monitors. Why do you think GPUs have HDMI 2.x outputs? And 4k enjoys far greater economies of scale than 1440p.

Nope. Not nearly popular enough and not nearly as well priced as many 4k tvs.

I'm more interested in pixel density. Desktop monitors at 4k are already at the point of diminishing returns for me and I have no interest in having a 42 - 55 inch screen on my desk. (And the better tech tends to not even be in 42 inch TVs) , 8k is ludicrous!

 

[Hickaru]

But I doubt 8k is going to be feasible anytime in the next 5 years lol

At distances where a TV might be viewed from, 4K vs 1080p already makes very little practical difference (and yeah I'm no doubt going to be told by people disagreeing how much sharper it is, etc ...).

8K, at normal viewing distances, you just can't see the pixels. Got a 43" 4K on the desks here, but that's only about a meter away so then you can definitely see the difference. The 54" 4K TV downstairs that's some 3 metres away ... nope, can't readily tell over 1080p.

The only real point to 8K is that resolution is going up, so more practical resolutions like 1440p and 4K are becoming more mainstream and cheaper.

These 4k TVs just like monitors will support lower resolutions.

That aspect ratio is very nice. We need to see TVs heading in that direction.

But people will want to run them at 4k.

That is simply not true Yes, you can't separate the pixels but you can say that one image is better than another

 

[turbot1984]

I have put a couple of games on 200% resolution at 4k (er, thats not 8k is it?)... anyhow frame rates were shocking and 8gb vram way short on MFS2020 ... 10gb, mmm, lets not go there eh?

 

[robfosters]

Lol, didn’t take long for the 20GB version to be confirmed I see!

 

[Richdog]

So, both the 3060 and 3070 will have 8GB RAM, as expected. The flagship 3080 has only 20% more VRAM. I'm glad I didn't buy a launch card as I know I would have regretted it by next year.

Where?

It comes down to price though doest it. Are you prepared to pay £850 - £1000 for a 20GB 3080?

It’s only leaks so far but Galaxy’s roadmap shows them as does leaks from Gigabyte. Not confirmed I know, but it’s definitely coming.

And no, I’m not prepared to pay that. I’m in the camp that firmly believes 10GB is plenty. I’m sure most people go by the VRAM allocated rather than the VRAM actually used.

 

[Twinz]

There's no room on the back of the founder's 3080 PCB for 5 more 1gb modules, so they need a different PCB (3090 PCB maybe?) or they need to wait for the 2gb modules to go into mass production.

The cost of the 20gb models will be more than just the cost of more ram.

At around 6:09 he starts talking about the GPU in the PS5 and he says it is compatible to a 2060 Super.

You still hung up on the 10gb not being enough stuff open? Plan on canceling the Pre-order on your 10gb and waiting for 20gb? Gives you time to save up a couple of hundred quid more for that extra 10gb variant and join a new que I suppose

Remember, the 3090 with it's measly 24gb is out and not one review has shown 10gb not being enough as predicted

 

[Strife212]

It’s just a shame the choice of “4K” monitors is bloody awful. Hopefully we’ll see more progress here in the next couple of years.

The new LG 27 inch 4K 144hz looks very promising

...based on what logic?

Too expensive for what it is imo. Needed to hit the £499 price point. At that price I would rather go for the much better LG CX OLED.
