Notice the 12pin connector adapter and its centered!!! WHY!?

It helps to balance the card whilst ensuring even distribution of the power to the board, all while not disturbing the equilibrium of the twin fan airflow.

Reckon they'd struggle with £300 to be honest, since 2nd hand 3070 card will surely be around £350 or so?

They are starting at £479 and that’s for the base FE AIB are likely to be around that price or more. 2nd hand you’d be looking at 4-500 for a 3070 likely more for AIB cards.

Ti is be guessing around £400 depends how fast the 3070 really is.

Are MSI Gaming X cards good in general? Cooling and noise wise.

They made one of the best 2080 Ti's, it was long though.

So this is interesting.

In the Nvidia Reflex video they confirmed and showed off that there is a tuning part for overclocking as part of the GeForce Experience which can be used to enable automatic tuning (overclock) and maintains the profile. Be interested to see how well that actually works.

Does geforce experience still require an account/ login? If so, I'll just wait for MSI Afterburner to do be able to do it.

Would a 650w psu be enough for a 3080?

 

[ik9000]

i see the power supply requirements are only 750w for 3090. That's better than people feared!

 

[opethdisciple]

So reading this they are saying next year for this DirectStorage.

"We’re targeting getting a development preview of DirectStorage into the hands of game developers next year."

the official specs are 750w for 3090 and 3080 and 650w for 3070 BUT the footnote says based on pairing with an 10900k and other cpu combinations may have a lower requirement. (see the nvidia site and the full ampere specification lists)

 

[xraycat87]

I have a corsair rm650x. Will that be enough for the 3080?

RTX3080Ti incoming!!!!!

The room between the 3080 and 3090 means there will be a 3080Ti

 

[Grim5]

650w might be pushing it IF and only IF your CPU is also power hungry like an overclocked 9900k/10900k.

my 3700x is at stock, not sure how power hungry it is, not even sure why i got this cpu over the 3600 lol

Unfortunately yes...and of course MSI Afterburner is the way to go if not using it Just interesting they've added their own official feature for tweaking the card now.

I told people earlier in this thread it was basically MS Directstorage!!

 

[ik9000]

OR it could be a 3085. (anyone remember the GTX465.... )

 

[K1LaW8tt5]

That's normally how it goes with tech though.

My 1080Ti isn't worth much, and the 3080 I'll probably end up getting will be worthless eventually too.

Eventually yes, but the 1080ti had a good run.
Some pricing normality restored though which is good news for everyone.

Do what us Vega boys been doing for a while - undervolt, dial it in.

Partially yes, mostly because I think Jensen **** the bed and agreed with Lisa to fix the pricing to reassure the shareholders personally..

 

[Dave2150]

Im not worried about losing a GB of Vram compared to the generational leap in performance and RTX I get

Depends on the resolution your running. Have to remember that the new consoles have 16GB of RAM/VRAM (some used by OS, but not much) meaning they have at least 12GB VRAM for games. I for one wouldn't be happy spending £650 for less VRAM than a console, as console ports will need the VRAM.

 

[Poneros]

Because their 2080ti is worth peanuts now

Pretty much.

£1589.99 For the Asus ROG STRIX 3090 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/foru...n-ampere-7nm-graphics-cards.18866747/page-702

I don't understand why some 2080Ti owners are unhappy with the 3090's value offering.

It offers more of a performance increase over the 2080Ti than the 2080Ti offered over the 1080Ti and it does so with a smaller price increase than the 2080Ti had over the 1080Ti.

so you think ASUS offering the 3090 for £1589 is good value against Nvidia offering the same 3090 GPU for £1399

Not sure what you think the ASUS 3090 high price has to do a 2080ti
