September 1st - NVIDIA GeForce Special Event (RTX 3000 series)

[guitarwar241]

I'm kind of pumped to see NVIDIA finally release their 3000 series GPUs tomorrow and get my preorder in. It's been reported that the 3070's performance is on par with the 2080ti with a price tag of $599 so we should be seeing some pretty juicy performance upgrades with the 3080.

My friend's family is keeping a close eye on the situation so they can prevent him from self harming if necessary. I wish it didn't come to this but NVidia is just bullying AMD around and it's mentally devastating AMD fanboys. This is 100% antitrust at this level of performance. The only reason anyone even buys AMD is because of hype from the CPUs. Unfortunately, AMD can't see how their complicit in propping up the stronghold that nvidia has on the market by being so mediocre.

Truly heinous.

Ready to replace my 2080Ti only if performance gain is 30%+ vs whatever the highest tier is called

The lowly 2080ti will have to remain in place amongst its ilk of last gen poverty performers, out cast from the master race and exiled upon the 9900ks of the world.

[phaginator]

Fck Nvidia and their prices milking the sheep.

[freeburn]

Ready to upgrade from this 1080ti boyyyy with the recent 3900x upgrade my pc is gunna be slapping titties.

I really hope the reference model fits inside of my micro case.

From what I've read, the 3080 might be hitting that 30% mark with the 3090 easily surpassing it. We'll have to wait for the benchmarks, though.

I hope AMD can get their **** together with GPUs so NVIDIA has to lower their prices. They're getting a little outrageous.

Gonna be upgrading from a hybrid cooled 1080ti as well so I'm excited. The reference model looks like a beefy card so it might be a tight squeeze in a micro case haha.

[Destor]

Will be upgrading from 2 x 970s here, hyped af

I'm gunna be so butthurt if I have to wait for a smaller aftermarket! Also my case has limited airflow so I sorta need the reference model to blow out the back.

[rocketfish]

remember when $400 was flagship

now people getting happy if we see the mid-tier graphic card at $600 (its probably going to be $700) with how they are pricing the 3080 and 3090

[R3L3NTL3SS]

It's been reported that the 3070's performance is on par with the 2080ti

It won't be.
Some of you guys are truly clueless on how Nvidia works their pricing. They will absolutely not release a $600 card that performs as well as their previous gens $1,000+ card. Even if it's capable, they're not going to give it to you for that price. Period. They'll lock the performance in the card BIOS or something before they give you that performance for that price. You're lying to yourself if you don't believe otherwise.

The 3080 will probably be close are maybe slightly more powerful and 3090 will probably be ~20-30% more powerful.

Then they'll probably LOL @ all of you in ~6 months and release Super or Ti versions of them all that are ~5-10% more powerful than the non Super cards.

Just lmao @ not knowing the games Nvidia plays.

[VTheKing]

gonna keep my RTX 2060TI, not like I need everything to run at max settings in 4K, specially with DLSS 2.0. hoping in the new few years AMD plays some catchup to get a little price competition.

[Lexira]

Yeaaah I am not so sure about that. I overlook all speculations, specs and even software benchmarks. I focus only on in-game vs in-game results. Huge if actually true but I will wait for in-game results.

It won't be.

Interesting. You are completely retarded when it comes to CPUs but actually know a thing or two about GPUs.

No need to be a kunt, my guy. Nobody knows anything until we see the benchmarks come out, but a new line of GPUs is always exciting regardless.

He is not wrong though. I was going to make the same remark but thought of not doing it and leaving to Nvidia lol

[blissful88]

As an elitist, will have 3080ti ASAP.

I'm not sorry.

[Lexira]

Mandatory show off of "last gen"

[guitarwar241]

Oh yeah, he makes a fair point and it makes sense, but don't be a dick about it. Either way, a 3080 is gonna stomp all over my 1080ti so I can't wait.

[R3L3NTL3SS]

Mmm...nah. I know just as much about CPU's. I just don't gargle Intel balls like you and King Bob Swan do.

Sure I do. Tired of seeing you morons post these ****ing absolutely retarded and not believable specs and rumors.
If you've followed Nvidia for any amount of time, you know the way they do things generation to generation. Its always the same. No reason to think this will be any different.
Unless they're extremely worried about Big Navi, they're not giving you these massive performance leaps for those prices.

Nvidia is the king of giving us just enough to stay ahead of AMD and nothing more. And they know that's all they have to do to keep charging whatever the fk they want for their cards.

[bongowongo]

I'm excited ... But at the same time, I dont think I should bother upgrading from my 2060 super yet .... Maybe I'll wait for the TI or Super version to come out.

[R3L3NTL3SS]

what games even need this amount of power?

Really..nothing lol.
These cards are for people who either want to do 1440 at 144+ fps or 4k at 60+ without sacrifices to perfomance settings.

My 2080Ti is destroying everything I play at 3440X1440 with zero issues, so I dont have a real reason to upgrade. IF the 3090, or whatever it ends up being called, is at least 30% more powerful I'll probably be tempted to buy just to say I have the best again. If we're only talking 20% I doubt I'll bother.

[Xinroth]

I'm ready to upgrade from my 1080 and dump it in my second gaming PC (1060 there atm)...

However, not biting on this until I see what Big Navi is gonna do by AMD. As of now i'm 99% going with a 3070 (assuming it does indeed match up with a 2080TI, which i highly doubt) but the prices are still ****ing insane for a medium-range card.

AMD better wake the **** up and compete because Nvidia is milking the crap out of the customers without mercy.

[Destor]

Yeah I’d be gunning for 4K @ 60 FPS and max settings in the latest and future titles, Cyberpunk 2077 being the main driver. Only get so much time to game, I want it to be the best experience possible

[Visel]

Been nerding out looking up this series for just under a year now lol. Sick of my old build with DDR3, and other parts from ~2010. Gonna pull the trigger once new CPUs come out too.

Excited for:

250GB SATA 3 SSD -> 2TB M.2 nVME (pcie 4.0)
GTX 1070 -> 3080 / 3080 Ti / 3090
16GB DDR3 -> 64GB DDR4
i7-4790k -> Ryzen 4900x/4950x, or I9-11900k

Also looking forward to a mobo with actual Bluetooth.

[cncman]

i dont have money

[Lexira]

i dont have money

But you do have two kidneys, no?

You know what to do..

[KilaByte]

Ready to replace my 2080Ti only if performance gain is 30%+ vs whatever the highest tier is called

They always do the bare minimum with the top tier cards but us tards still buy them

[Awarw90]

In for buying overpriced card and playing Mine craft/games from 5 years ago/emulators on it again cos most new games are chit tier. My 2080ti was the biggest buyers remorse ever after going from a 1080ti.

But.. I'm an elitist moron, so I'll prob buy the 3090.... install a new RTX game, "this looks awesome!", play 1 hour, uninstall.... boot up Terraria/Guild Wars 1.

[FAPhaggot]

2 years isn't exactly a lot of time either - in fact, that's literally about the bare minimum amount of time it takes to design, validate, manufacture, and debug a new chip. No doubt Nvidia plays pricing games with their cards, but that 30% speedup just isn't there even if they wanted it. Technology just doesn't move that fast. I'm guessing it'll be between a 10 and 20 percent speedup.
