Has anyone seen the latest leaks about how RDNA2 compares to Ampere? Apparently, it's significantly faster in traditional rasterization. What do you guys think?

500GB for windows? Lol.

250GB is enough.

Nice build, but would had waited for RDNA2.

Those scores does not make sense considering that AMD showed gaming benchmarks that were well behind 3080.

Is igor trustworthy?

It has been rumored that the RDNA2 GPU whose benchmark results were shown at the Ryzen 5000 Series presentation was one of the lower-end chips.

He's not untrustworthy, I don't think he'd throw that out if he didn't think it was real. Like he's an actual old guy engineer. He's not just a regular putz like one of us.

Hmm but Lisa Su showed the card with 3 fans. Wasnt lower end only 2 fans?

The most reliable rumors was that it was the 72CU unit. Firestrike is larely irrelevant and not indicative of gpu stress tests in modern titles.

I'll eat my words but I would be surprised if the non-3090 competitor is any more than plus or minus % of the 3080 in traditional rasterization. And it'll be $550ish

Well, at the very least these cards seem as if they'll come very close to the RTX 3080 in terms of performance, which is indicative of AMD's growing improvement in both CPUs and GPUs; they're now competitive in both markets. If they can remain competitive with Nvidia, more and more people will buy their cards, hence their mrket share will increase. Imagine a world in which AMD has 50% market share in the discrete GPU market.

 

[Bboy AJ]

Really looking forward to the AMD reveal. I’d be thrilled if it immediately obsoleted my 3080. Great! I just want the best hardware.

Wonder if they’ll have the GPUs ready for sale alongside the CPUs, or if it’ll be a month delay, too. Would be weird to release in basically December.

If they have stock they should get the first wave out in time for Cyberpunk.... That is the game this upgrade wave is really about.

I mean, there's competitive where Nvidia feels like it can't just fuck around and do whatever it wants, and then there's competitive where it feels like it has to fight tooth and nail. I'd rather it was the latter, but we're only just getting to the former, maybe. Some day, some day.

 

[CrustyBritches]

I remember a reading a couple times that AMD said Big Navi will be the first RDNA 2 product on the market. I wouldn't doubt if they had availability within a week of the show, maybe sooner given that Nvidia decided to launch the 3070 the day afterwards.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Welp, dropped off my 3090fe for a RMA, which shockingly was approved pretty quickly after a very confusing back and forth. When I initiated the conversation with customer support they were quick to let me know that my gpu with the same serial number was already in the process of a RMA and that person had told them they bought it used off of facebook marketplace. Luckily that got cleared up pretty quick but in the moment I was about to flip out. They said I should have the new gpu within 7 business days from when they receive my shipment. They did point out they cannot guarantee the new one will not have coil whine but they are willing to give it a shot.

So here I am back on my 2070s enjoying my low 30fps in Control once more. Quick question for those more in the know when it comes to the technical side of things. I play on a 38" LG ultrawide monitor. I know on a basic level the same gpu used with this monitor will perform better on a smaller monitor due to how many pixels are being pushed. My actual question is if I am able to buy a 3080 between now and receiving my new 3090, would it still be beneficial to stick with the 3090 due to the size of my monitor? I am planning on using ray tracing any time its available as an option and hopefully maxing out all settings in options.

 

[sertopico]

I am finally part of the club, managed to find an evga ftw3 blahblah 3080 in some anonymous shop where I live. I got in by pure chance, I asked about the card and the guy had ONE card available. It cost me more than it should have but fuck it, you live only once. Day night difference from my old strix 1080 ti oc, my perfs are more than doubled. This thing is a beast, and I must admit I was skeptical, but this DLSS really does wonders. Now I am trying to do some undervolting to keep consumptions a bit lower. I am stable @ 0.900V/1995MHz, maximum power draw 380W, which is still too high in my opinion, I think I might try to lower frequencies further. Getting 3-5 fps more for 50W extra is nonsense.

One question: I tried to deactivate the rgb rainbow galore with precision x but there is no option to manage the leds. Since I am one of those few ppl still having a non transparent side panel I really don't need all those christmas lights.

For all my fellow Canadians, even though they are all back-order, at least you can order one. I just did

Fire Strike runs better on AMD cards. Guys & gals, it's time to cancel all our 3080 orders I guess.

They werent well behind, they were on par with a 3080. But who knows in what controlled lab conditions they achieved those results. If their cpu's are faster than intels for gaming they could've used the absolute best chip of the assembly line, aggresively overclock it. Or they could've done the same with their gpu - nitrogen cooled handpicked sample and overclocked. We cant say until we get regular people benchmarks for it

 

[Armorian]

It's comparable to 3080 in Time Spy, AMD will likely perform better in some games and worse in others (as usual). But not many people were expecting card that could fight with 3080.

I was joking. It's not like the 3080 got suddenly worse, just because AMD offers competitive performance.
And I don't think there will be any price cut, because I can't imagine AMD being so much cheaper that Nvidia will start to sweat.
Price reveal and real benchmarks will be exciting.

It's surprising how competitive nvidia is even without goos competition for past years. They for sure stay on their toes.

You have to download the version of Precision X that is specifically for the RTX 30 Series in order to control your FTW3's LEDs.

 

[gunslikewhoa]

I don't know if anyone is interested in these, but if you are and you live near a Microcenter, I would keep an eye out for the Powerspec pre-builts. My Microcenter has zero 3080 cards but two of these available for $2499 right now:

PowerSpec G467 Gaming PC; Intel Core i9 10900KF 3.7GHz Processor; NVIDIA RTX 3080 10GB GDDR6X; 32GB DDR4-3600 RAM; 1TB SSD; - Micro Center

Get it now! The PowerSpec G467 desktop computer is a powerful gaming machine featuring the Intel Core i9-10900KF unlocked processor cooled with a Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L 240mm RGB Water Cooling Kit mounted on an ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-E Gaming System Board.

Wow. I just went through the list of stores and the majority of them have these in stock and available to order online.

 

[BluRayHiDef]

Those of you who have managed to get an RTX 30 Series card, if RDNA2 winds up being faster than the RTX 30 Series, will you regret your purchase?

Personally, I won't regret my decision because I'm pretty sure that the difference will be negligible, relevant in only traditional rasterization, and in Nvidia's favor when ray tracing and DLSS are available.

 

[mitchman]

Currently, the RTX 3080 is supposed to be delivered to me on Nov 7th, giving me a week to consider dropping it for AMD or not. I'm cool with the shipping having been pushed back now as long as I can get a card before Nov 19th (CP2077).

 

[Kenpachii]

Would always put my windows on the fastest drive.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

my queue position has moved from 55 to 51 in the space of 3 weeks. Worst launch of all time in PC history?

Nah. The 3080's great. I don't worry about stuff like that. The card I have is going to do what I want it to do for awhile. There's no reason to worry about anything beyond that.

 

[Catphish]

I just want to underscore what an amazing experience it is to play RDR2 in first person at 4k/60/max settings.

If you have a 3080, put that shit on your list if it isn't already there.

Wait for reviews of both the 3070 and AMD's RDNA2 cards.
You can start to pick out your other components, of which I suggest a B550/X570 board with one of the 5000 series AMD processors, 32GB of RAM, an NVMe SSD, and a 750W 80 Plus Gold rated PSU.

November 5th

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X: $799
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X: $549
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X: $449
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X: $299

No 5700X (yet). But the 5600X will be faster than a 3700X at pretty much everything.

Indeed. Right now is pretty much the worst time to buy hardware, because superior stuff is just around the corner. And the older CPUs will likely drop in price too if you wait for a bit.

Just as a reference...;

Some "leaks" & speculation on the nVidia line-up. Timestamped to skip the AMD Big Navi stuff since this is the RTX thread.

I still haven't had luck with getting the 3080. My hope is that with the 3070 releasing and AMD fully announcing their GPUs, that steals some of the demand for the 3080 or at least throws enough confusion into the market where I can finally get one.
