The only winner is Nvidia. One month I could have bought an unlocked card, so to speak that did both. If you take away the consumer choices. Still charge the same. I dunno I don't like it. Simple as. I'll probably skip this generation now.

You're presuming that they're making an FE version ofc....
According to grim they're not, so that's that settled...
You wrote in your first post that "There is going to be next to no difference in performance between the 2." - this is incorrect, hence the (truthful) condescending response. Not my fault you're unaware of what the "Ti" branding means, based on previous generations.
Note my use of language " possibility of being faster, if it's a better binned chip that reaches higher clock speeds.". This is an example of tentative language, not dogmatic language. At the very least, it'll be 3090 performance, will will suit me just fine.
I bought my 3080 in early November, as it was physically on a shelf in front of me. Looking back, I'm glad I did, as sourcing a 3090 wasn't certain. I'll welcome the extra 15% performance at 4K and in VR.
Your not seeming to actually fully read or understand my posts. Unsure if your trolling, or have a condition.
I said "Few games I've played are nipping at the heels of 10GB VRAM". 'Nipping at the heels' - in this context, means games are getting close to saturating the VRAM. Doesn't mean struggling. Also "few" means not all.
Extra 2GB VRAM will be absolutely perfect for me, until I upgrade to a 4080.
I kinda get the feeling from your posts that you're being threatened by a 3080ti being the same gaming performance as your 3090, for close to half the price (for a FE). What we all spend our money on is our own choice, just enjoy what you have and let others do the same
At this point, neither you nor I is "correct" or "incorrect". We are both airing opinions or guesses at best.
What the Ti branding means? Get over yourself. Its not some written law that a Ti is 15% faster than the previous card.
IF you'd look further than the Ti, you'd see that the card is slated to have just shy of 3090 CUDA cores, and is expected to be clocked lower than both 3080 and 3090.
How you read into that it will somehow be better binned is beyond me.
Regardless, there is no need to act so high and mighty. ITs possible to have a difference of opinion on the internet without resorting to such condescension. Your speak is no more truth than the next persons opinion.
Given how the 3090 is barely 15% faster, how do you expect the Ti to also be? Unless the 80 and 90 are discontinued.
If your basing that purely on the previous meaning of the "Ti" meaning, it is you not I showing your lack of mature thought. Incase you hadn't noticed, previous Ti cards tended to be TOP of the gaming card stack. Yes Titans existed above them, but where priced much higher and actually targeted at work use. (And supported as such)
Yes...I am threatened by a graphics card? Did you re-read that? Also dream on the 3080ti being "half the cost" of a 3090FE. The 3080FE is just about half the cost.

If you think the 3080TI is only gonna be half the price of a 3090 you are in for a rude awakening.

Half the current price of a 3900 or half the rrp?
I think 3080TI will be priced higher than both those options. 3080s already are to be honest
I haven't seen any listed
Oh so that's it set in stone, Grim hasn't seen any listed so no fe cards. 0_o
It would be unusual for nvidia to not have FE cards for their high end ti series to say the least.

And with RTX3000 the FE cards have launched and sold before AIB yet AIB is already selling
you're also quick to forget that prior to launch we had several leaked images of the cards for all FE RTX3000 cards over the past months, yet not a single FE3080ti, for a card due to launch in a couple weeks? Yeah right
Are you forgetting that the ti hasn't even officially launched yet? It's not surprising some aib cards have slipped through the cracks that's a common occurrence though unusual for it to happen a few weeks before launch. The 7\9\10\20\30 series cards to date have all had an FE or reference card version with the nvidia metal cooler, you have some exceptions of the lower end cards but for the most part their higher end cards all get the "fe" treatment.
It would be unusual for nvidia to not have an "FE" version of the 70/80-TI cards to say the least considering their track record in that regard.
I'm talking about the Founders edition. The 3080 Founders Edition is £649.00 (or $699 in the US). Thousands of people have obtained a founders edition, it's just requires patience for stock drops.
3080ti is leaked to be $999. This is likely to convert to £850, perhaps £900. This is half the price of scalped aftermarket (non founders edition) 3090's.
Another leaked price was $1199. Haven't seen confirmation of an FE model so pricing could be all AIB aka fill yer boots.
Way to move the goalposts. You made the "half the cost" comment in reference to my 3090fe...which has a price of £1399. So your £900 estimate for the Ti FE isnt half the cost. The 3080FE is almost half the cost.
I do agree though that getting FE cards is the easiest, I managed it twice. So I would expect that to continue with the 3080Ti FE. (If such a card does get made.)
Comparing 3080FE MSRP to aftermarket AIB 3090 scalped pricing? Stick to RRP or scalped. Stick to FE or AIB.
Just look what 3080FE's go for scalped. Heck even a popular used high-street retailer sells them for £1700.
Even at $1199 for the founders edition, it'll still be close to half of some of the 3090 scalped prices
In the great scheme of things it wouldn't be too bad a price but as I said the FE isn't confirmed yetEven at $1199 for the founders edition, it'll still be close to half of some of the 3090 scalped prices

What evidence makes you think there won't be a founders edition?
We've seen reference/founders edition cards for the 3080, 2080ti, 1080ti, 980ti, 780ti, so it's logical that they'd continue this tradition
I didn't say that there wouldn't be one. I said there's been nothing confirmed.......yet
The evidence leaked so far is of AIB cards only and obviously Nvidia haven't officially announced anything yet.
I think the 3080ti is going to be more than 750-800 I expect it to be above 900.
Personally I wont even consider buying it, my thoughts are I got lucky on a 3080FE drop, and its the right thing to not even try to get another ampere card, is many still not got one yet. Even if I could upgrade with a net zero cost.
