I'm just surprised people can't notice it.

Yeah? Maybe sitting further back makes a difference there too.

Its night and day. Old gamers like us are used to arcade games running at 60fps. Plus they usually feel more tactile (thats more perceived though). *i should stress i sit very close to the screen

Having given the subject a lot of thought, the fact is you get a lot of power for your bucks with a 3080. Nearly everything is over 60fps at stock, and you've got RTX with DLSS on an increasing number of games. Its not like its a card outputting sub 60s. Better to spend that saved $700-20000 for something else. Like a new VR set, gaming console, a wheel or all of those!

See theres words of games crashing with the following : ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity, MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Ventus 3X OC, MSI Gaming Trio, some EVGA boards.

Remember its only 20% more powerful at 4K. At 8K the gains are likely to be larger.

Yeah but its early 8K revolution - Forza wasn't perfect 60 and isn't the most strenuous game anyway. The problem is there will be other RTX styled graphical effects the 4xxx series will need the power for - so rendering the 3090 somewhat redundant. I mean hey i know where you're coming from but for 10-20% gains its pretty crazy. The next realisms will only come from lighting - not pixels. And for that next revolution the 3090 is a baby. Its not properly ready and probably won't have the grunt. A better bet would be to buy a 3080 and spend the extra on a new PSU - 8

I don't know about that - its the only card thats had no (or extremely few) reviews. But you do a comic to go with your Haribo's!

sorry. i dida wrong edit.

I used the OCuk Calculator and jumped from 900 to 480 odd. As a little bonus to you all i might film me unboxing it with some jazzy funky porno music. So look out for that!

Well the Ps5 has always got Gran Turismo. And Densha de go. You could only install about 6 Bethesda games anyway.

Developer chose to move though as CD over Cartridge.

It doesn't look great does it. At least not at 4K. 8K might change things but the uptake is going to be pretty small for a good few years i think. People that play 4K on Steam is still tiny. Can't see that changing in a long time. I do wonder if it'll open the door to VR esp. with the tag team of COVID and Brexit vs the Economy and people on lockdowns. VR seems to be getting cheaper.

Oh and Kitguru link... https://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/joao-silva/rtx-3090-leaked-benchmarks-show-up-to-20-faster-performance-than-rtx-3080/ Obviously this isn't running at 8K so...
