Honestly i haven't even cared about Cyberpunk (never cared for anything CDPR did), I'm just excited about Flight Sim 2020 and how we finally have a game that goes balls to the wall with visual quality

I'll try for a 3080 on the 17th but if it becomes a huge pain to find I'll just go "gently caress it" and get the 3090 instead and hold onto that for 3 years (how long I had my 1080Ti for). The amount of money I've spent on FGO exceeds the cost of the 3090 by a fair margin anyway so whatever, it's not like I have a social life or go out to eat or anything.

The 3080 is real tempting but I have to say it's ridiculous for me to want to buy a card 3 years later that has less VRAM than the one I have now (10 vs 11). Almost want to go for the 3090 just to avoid that entirely since I noticed Flight Sim is really creeping up at the limits of my 1080ti's VRAM

TheCoach posted:I'm in the demo of "not enough cash to go high rez or high refresh rate monitor" and this is BS, people just turn off v-sync because v-sync especially in fps games feels like total dogshit. Yes screen-tearing, I don't care about it at all, games just feel snappier when they run at high fps even if the monitor cannot display it properly. It might not seem like it's that big of a deal but when G-SYNC or FreeSync work properly it's incredible

Riflen posted:FS2020 is not using anywhere near 11GB VRAM. If you open the developer overlay for the game, or use the Special K GPU widget, you'll see the real VRAM usage, not what software like afterburner can show you, which is simply allocated memory. I used the in game FPS profiler and it only shows about 9 GB accessible to the game, and I've definitely had moments where I saw 8 GB in use. Maybe that's not an accurate representation of the situation?

On one hand gently caress them, on the other hand if ETH crashes 6 months after launch and I can score a firesale 3090 like I did for a 1080 Ti after the 2018 bust, I'd be willing to wait

shrike82 posted:waiting for the super refresh isn't a bad idea if you don't feel the need to upgrade I've cooled down after the initial hype and realizing that my 1080Ti still handles 1440p at max just fine and the one game I play it doesn't is poorly optimized CPU wise so that's really the biggest issue. I'll wait a month or two and see how things shake out.

I was really annoyed that I had to be up at 6 AM this entire week for a virtual conference but given that I'll actually be awake for the orders to open maybe it's a silver lining. Was hoping to read the reviews yesterday but I guess i'll have one day to decide how hard I want the 3080.

As an upgrade from a 1080Ti this looks like a very solid performance gain - I'll be trying to pick one up tomorrow for sure then.

Sitting on their page right now, it loads fast enough just that the Notify Me button is there which I assume is still correct behavior until they push the button in 9 minutes.

Tuxedo Gin posted:I'm no marketing wizard but aren't launches like this worse than a later launch that has its poo poo together and actually has stock to sell? Why not wait until they have products before launching? I was ready to snap up a 3080 or 3090 but now we're all going to be waiting around so I guess might as well see what AMD has to offer. i'm pretty sure if anything this is like Supreme or whatever where the scarcity only boosts demand and people accept the problems as "well everyone wants it so badly their servers are being hammered so i must get my hands on it"

D-Pad posted:I hear the people who paid $1200 for a 2080 Ti that the 3080 blows out of the water aren't too happy. nVidia knows they'll still get their money. gee its almost like people told everyone to hold off on the 2080Ti because it was vastly overpriced for what it was. If you bought one in the past 6 months that's entirely your fault for being impatient.

Durzel posted:The only practical solution to this, I feel, is not giving scalpers enough time to think or prepare. If Nvidia and the AIBs had been ready to go, Nvidia could have presumably orchestrated preordering (or ordering) to begin at the end of their recent keynote. Hardcore gamers - real customers - would’ve been following it anyway, so they would’ve been the ones who would’ve stood to benefit. nVidia is benefiting from this. People are seeing massive demand and it's triggering their desire to grab a card when they possibly can. It's a feature that things appear so out of stock that people are scrambling to pay way over MSRP from scalpers

mA posted:Jayztwocents has a new video where he discusses cook groups and the 3080. He spends the first 2 minutes talking about how he's a capitalist and loves capitalism and free markets, then goes on to make an awful "No true Scotsman" argument about scalpers and cook groups.These tech influencers are so painfully out of their element when they attempt to discuss politics or stray from discussing hardware and benchmarks. wouldn't exactly expect a tech youtuber to be a marxist but yeah, him realizing the contradictions and then brushing it away was definitely frustrating to watch Watching companies like Valve handling preorders for the Index well, and even smaller niche manufacturers of gaming controllers like Honeycomb for flight sims getting it right with announcing proper preorders, while nVidia just fails to come up with a decent system. If they had announced preorders immediately at the end of the announcement with no chance for bots to set something up it would have been far smoother. HalloKitty posted:I have no idea whether this has been posted yet, but the rumours about the 16GB 3070 and the 20GB 3080 seem to be panning out, as expected. Good news - I don't feel bad about waiting a few months anymore now if they're just going to release a 20GB variant. I find it a bit absurd that I would buy a card with 1 GB less VRAM than my 1080Ti 3 years later.

spunkshui posted:Pre-orders would’ve made the truth obvious that many people are not getting a card this year because they don’t have them. Would it though? It's not like they're getting good press from this situation either. I guess people will complain no matter what but truth of the matter is they just cannot manufacture these things in enough quantity, and I'm sure AMD will have exactly the same problem next month. If AMD is smart they'll make it easy to preorder with a system like Valve's and force their partners to do the same. In case people forget, this year had a massive hole shot in every manufacturing schedule for months. No poo poo it was going to be in short supply. At least with a back order system people would feel at least comfortable they'll get it eventually versus this bullshit.
