Time to upgrade my 1080ti to a 3080. I contemplated the 3090 but I’m only running at 1440p monitor anyway. Where the hell are the pre orders??

It’s my understanding that in the past you were better off not getting a reference card since the cooling was quite poo poo. This new system in theory should be changing that right?

movax posted:Part of me is curious about the DirectStorage thing, and how performance / compatibility works on it being on a chipset link vs. a CPU link. Shortest possible path is a CPU PCIe port so data should go disk-> on-chip fabric / bus -> GPU. Yeah like I’m a bit out of the loop but how would this work on current hardware? It’s my understanding that certain things would need to be changed.

Yeah I have a 1080ti on 1440p and while it still handles everything pretty well (gently caress you COD) that raytracing....

Also it’s my understanding from all the leaks that Nvidia has put a considerable amount of effort into this cooling solution. They want to get away from the “it’s poo poo” past.

CapnAndy posted:So if I was looking to build/buy a new computer already -- and to be clear, I was -- I just wait for the 3080 to come out now, right? Or do I hold out for the 3070 to save a bit of money? I guess it depends on your budget and monitor IMO. The 3080 isn’t a huge cost increase when you look at the total cost of the build and it should in theory last you longer.

I kinda feel like a high refresh rate 1440p is better vs a 4K 60hz for the long term.

8-bit Miniboss posted:I at least look forward to GamersNexus reviews. Steven was maybe the one techtuber that asked the question of how hosed will your CPU cooling get skewed from the reference cooling design. Everyone else uses open air test rigs too much. Yeah I’ve been watching more and more GN and they are pretty alright. He moves his hair too much though.

First of May posted:Maybe it doesn't scale well, so at 4K the 3080 and 3090 perform about the same, while the 3090 can keep pushing frames at 8K because of all the extra RAM. Just have to wait for better benchmarks, I guess. This would make sense.

chaleski posted:I'm just curious if a 3080 will be overkill for 1440p/144hz, although I'll justify it as future-proofing if it is (I know future-proofing is a bad idea) exquisite tea posted:If the performance improvements over Turing are accurate then 1440p/144hz will probably be the sweet spot for actually hitting up against the maximum refresh rates of your monitor, as RN a 2080 with all RTX on high and DLSS 2.0 can only hit about 60fps in a game like Control even under the best of circumstances. Yeah was gonna say this. Also the 3080 will keep you well above 60fps with everything maxed at 1440p for a much longer time vs trying to run it at 4k.

exquisite tea posted:It makes total sense. I mean, how many times have you been trying to game, only to hear your wife noisily vacuuming the house, or running the dishwasher, or using the washing machine? Finally there's the noise cancellation option for the serious PC enthusiast. On a serious note though even people just using discord while they have the TV should help cut down background noise if it actually works like they say.

Mr. Neutron posted:I have an i5-8600K, is it going to limit the 3080 substantially? My target is mostly 4k60 or 1440p144 (but mostly the former). Probably not. Once you get above 1080p the GPU is the major factor there. IMO you'd be fine for a good while.

exquisite tea posted:Some people have said "well these Nvidia benchmarks include DLSS" but everyone should hope DLSS 2.0 becomes more widespread everywhere as it's 30-40% more performance for basically nothing. Fortnite getting it is a good sign that it may became an integrated feature for Unreal Engine, which about a bazillion games use. Yeah DLSS is pretty cool and good from what I've seen of it.

KingKapalone posted:Any more info on the need for PCIe 4.0 yet? Watched a video from HWUnboxed a few pages back and it sounds like it might only be needed for 4K? I got a B450 + 3600 last year and plan to get a 3080 so don't want to upgrade. I mean its more for future proofing at this point. If you get the 3080 its going to last you long enough to where when you do upgrade 4.0 might actually mean something but that is a good few years (probably 3 at least) away.

I upgraded my TV last year to one with HDR 4K blah blah blah and I just ended up buying all new HDMI cables because I had no way to tell which ones of the current 200 I had that would actually work with all that. What I’m sayin is HDMI cables suck when it comes to labeling.

gradenko_2000 posted:so that RTX IO thing that they're plugging - it allows game data (if the game is written to support it using the proper API) to be read directly by/into the GPU with less (or no?) CPU overhead, which is kinda similar to the thing that next-gen consoles were supposed to have been bragging about... No one actually knows. It’s a bit vague.

Shogunner posted:Will 10th Gen Intel be a good pairing for the 3080? I wanna wait for Rocket Lake, but I might have to give this work PC up sooner than later. Pretty much any current gen mid range or higher processor will be perfectly fine for 1440p and up gaming. You really don’t need to overthink it.
