Official nVidia 3080/3090 review thread

When I looked at the x2 improvement with the Rtx 3080; it was in the context of Rtx 2080, up to x2, best case 4k, a few raster games close, a few Rtx/Dlss games close and path tracing games. The key wording offering was-was the Rtx 3080 the biggest performance jump over the Rtx 2080 in Nvidia's history? Maybe, in some examples but not overall, imho.

Constructive criticism is the amount of watts needed to achieve the performance and the lackluster overclocking so far, imho.
 
@SSXeon I'm using a 77 inch LG CX OLED. I have my main theater and PC hooked up together so I can focus all of my cash on a single TV and speaker system rather than splitting the money into two lesser setups. I'll be doing alot of 3D rendering and gaming on this setup so it's necessary that I have a nice couch with recliner. A gaming chair at a desk would kill my back for the amount of time I waste in front of the computer.

i love my 55" LG CX OLED at the desk :drool:
 
I haven't seen you talk alot about it but I was curious how PC gaming has been for you on the CX? I'm using the GPU that is imbedded in the 9900K so I still have a 4k desktop but I can't game until I get a new card. I love the CX for movies and general net surfing. It's the best quality I have ever seen for UHD movies.

That's sick! I'm very jelly. :lol: sick setup, but I can't do that, I need a monitor in front of me, though, playing ps4 pro in my cheap samsung 4k 55 was awesome, I understand. :D

I think the 1440P results are fairly disappointing. It's only offering around a 20% improvement on average over the 2080 Ti. I'd have liked to see at least a 30% improvement. Frankly if I still had my 2080 Ti I'd probably just push the power slider up to max which would put me at only 10% slower than the 3080 at the same power draw, and then just skip this gen.

The problem also is that some of the stuff Nvidia was putting out was suggesting up to 40% faster than the 2080 Ti in cherry picked scenarios. So, that doesn't help things.

For people running 4K it looks better, but not everyone is running 4K.

Why be disappointed when you dont really need any more frames at 1440P then what it is giving?:confused:

g sync is nice and HDR it does need HDMI 2.1

my AMD card is too old to try Freesync with it :cry:

but the color and blacks :drool: :drool: :drool:
 
I am glad that HDMI 2.1 works on these puppies. But they won’t be hitting that 4K120 FPS often.
 
i do kind of like the back plate of the EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra

may not get as hot as a solid plate like my strix

Yeah I agree, it looks like the 3090 will struggle for 4k 60FPS on many titles from last year and I expect future titles to push it under 60FPS. Older titles will fly on these cards but DLSS is really the only way to take advantage of high refresh rates with new games and if DLSS can't match 4k quality then I'll probably continue on with 4k 60FPS for most new games. Now that SLI is dead there is no real protection from sub 60fps performance so I'm hoping G-sync will at least help with the shitty performance. I would much rather have 2x 3080's in SLI with great SLI performance but it wasn't meant to be and my VRAM needs exceed it anyway. I guess the 3090 will be the best we can get until the next card launch, whenever that is.

EVGA has the kingpin watercooled cards listed but no date or price. Probably 3 months from now if I had to guess going by how they have done it in the past.

Kingpin may only be 3090

but i might be willing to buy a RTX 3080 XC3 ULTRA now if i knew a RTX 3080 Hydro Copper 20gb would be out in 90 days :lol:

and it would be even better if EVGA sold AMD also for the 90 day step up :drool:
