AMD's RDNA2 announcement will be early October with release in early November.

I think with the way the 3080 is being priced they're expecting abundant supply.
Also, did anyone actually have trouble buying the 2070 or 2080 last gen? I thought it was only the 2080 Ti that was in short supply, and that seemed like it never actually changed over the course of the card's lifespan. I think the 2080 Ti production was never that high, and that is why it was always hard to come by and so expensive.

This guy is an idiot. I tried listening to the podcast he just rags on Nvidia and Intel for the majority of it.... I stopped when he said his sources tell him that Big Navi is 90% faster then the 5700XT....

I've never bought an FE card directly from Nvidia. The warranty is the same? Is it all in $usd even for Canadians? Do they ship international? Do we get raped on customs?

Unless they changed it, the warranty on the FE is 3 years. I may consider an FE this time myself as the cooler actually seems decent. I want to wait for reviews on that too though.
It looks like the FEs are not being sold at a premium this gen, which is interesting. That might indicate that part of the problem with the 2000 series was that Nvidia lost control of the pricing, since the AIBs treated the FE as the defacto MSRP rather than the actual MSRP. Like, maybe the 2080 Ti really was supposed to be readily available at $1000, but after the 2080 Ti FE was $1200 the other guys refused to sell for less.
Apparently we're not supposed to talk about AMD in this thread, but I don't know why you'd find that number so hard to believe? That is the sort of performance range Navi 2X has to be putting up to be competitive with Ampere. 5700 XT also was not a big chip, so I don't see why they wouldn't be able to boost performance by a large margin over it?

He throws out virtually every rumor or possibility and if any of them come to fruition, he can spin how accurate he is. The key with his 3xxx series volume speculation and disagree is because Nvidia offered guidance of 25% more gaming revenue for the third quarter. That is significant!

so a 80cu card cant be 90% faster than a 40cu card? AMD has been a lot more tight lipped then Nvidia recently. Hell anything is possible. I watched a lot of his videos for the last 5 months, he only rags on things that are true IMHO. Pricing, Real TDP (Intel), and marketing. In the last few months i don't see much of a bias, but coming from you if Intel or Nvidia is challenged in any way, he must be bias.
I dunno about Canada, but my card shipped pretty fast and like Nagorak said i believe its a 3 year warrenty.
Most all of these youtubers get what they hear, and sometimes he says he doesn't believe it. His channel is not something that is 100% accurate. He has said this plenty of times.

I'm most looking forward to Gamers Nexus tear down and review videos. They damn near destroyed that 20 series Founders Edition card tearing the cooler apart.
O god I didn't even think to watch Tech Jesus. TY
most of the numbers are RTX games and NV best case numbers
i want to see numbers in all games with RTX off
we have know for months RTX was going to be faster

Seeing tech Jesus try to pry it apart is going to be a hoot. I like it when he did it last time for the 2080Ti right there at the convention. After giving this some time to digest, it simply boils down to 30% faster than a 2080Ti for $700 bucs.
That's pretty damn amazing. Even more so if you're an AMD fan. Nvidia is clearly spooked about what Big Navi will bring. If you take AMD at their word that they plan on doubling the specs of RDNA1, then you could expect about 50% over the 2080Ti, which is a smidge above what the RTX3080 is. Give or take 10% in some games.
It's going to be one helluva fight between the two, but mindshare and timing are important here. Far as I'm concerned, AMD needs to have a press release in September and release in October. I believe waiting 30 additional days could be disastrous for market share. You got lots of folks running 1080Ti's that are looking to upgrade. Today was a great day for graphic cards, I just hope the benches for Nvidia pan out and don't sour a good day.

I'm just scared that Nvidia will not have enough at launch. I honestly want the 3080, and mostly for 2077. AMD HAS to get it out soon after, as people will just buy Nvidia cards because AMD has not been good at the high end in the last 5 years.

This is why I'm hoping Nvidia anticipated getting out in front of AMD and having a good amount of stock available for this 30 series launch. If these are low supply, maybe they're thinking people would just simply go over to AMD?

The first video of his that I watched, he claimed that he had a source at Nvidia and he was 95% confident that the info was correct. In that video he stated that:
The 3090 had 12GB of VRAM at 18GB/s speeds(Actually has 24GB at 19.5 GB/s speeds)
The 3090 was 7nm. (Is actually 8nm)
The 3090 had 5,376 cuda cores (actually has 5,248 with double FP32=10946)
3090 sample consumed 220 to 230 watts. (Actually 350watt TDP)
4x the ray tracing performance. (Actually 2X)
4X to 5X the performance of a Titan RTX in the game Minecraft. (Actually 2X to 3X)
He was waaaaaaay off on all of this.
Here is a link to his video. He updated his information based on what other rumors were stating and had no real info. His source was playing him.

Things change and nobody expects his predictions to be perfect but his source was totally off on everything.

I feel like the rumors in the last month or so ended up being pretty accurate though. The TDP numbers leaked by that one guy appear to have been spot on, for one. Along those lines, I feel like more recent MLID videos were closer to the mark.
I think it stands to reason that with rumors the further back you go from launch the less accurate they are. Then as you approach the launch and things get finalized and more people get their hands on the product the available info becomes more accurate.
But, in the end, it's rumors, so yeah take everything with a grain of salt.
