Going by this rumor from Moore's Law Is Dead, it looks like AMD will be leading with 256gbps width memory bus and not the 384gbps memory bus width that is widely expected?
Is this another jebait ploy to counter the 20gb 3080 ti

Sarcasm at its finest.
Challenge how? If they are within 10% but cost < $1k, I think that's good enough for me. If they are 20% off the mark and want $1.3k, they can kick rocks, lol. I do think they will have a part between the 3080 and 3090, just not sure how close to which side. Also, RT performance is still a big unknown (as is raster, but more so). I don't mind spending money on stuff, but there is a point to most where the increase in price isn't worth the increase in performance. This can be very different for each individual whether it's rx 550 -> rx 560 price, or 3080 -> 3090 price, everyone has their limits of what they want to spend and what they consider acceptable.
No
Remember, this term nVidia killer was coined 1 year ago, when the highest performing GPU was the 2080ti
Nope,
Hmm not sure how I feel about that giant R in the middle of the fans but other than that, looks nice. Two 8 pins, so at minimum, 300+ watts card?
Yeah, targeting last generation is lame. I hope they surpass the 2080 Ti.
I really doubt AMD will put themselves in that position, they will be a laughing stock again if they cannot surpass an almost 2 year old 2080Ti. I am thinking at worse Big Navi will have 3080 performance, at best near or at 3090 performance.
If they can compete with both Intel and NVIDIA on both fronts I'd be quite impressed.
Well not hard to compete with Intel since lately, Intel likes to shot themselves in the foot and TSMC is executing which benefits AMD since they do not have to delay any of their product. RTG have made some pretty powerful hardware, just for the past couple of years, they were just late to the show but at least with Big Navi, they are releasing pretty much at the same time as Nvidia Ampere.
I really hope this isn't the actual design otherise that card vents 100% back into the case....
Kind of only get three real choices though, right?
I'm giving them their first points on the board in this gen by at least not wimping out and falling back on the ol faithful blower. What else you got AMD?
It doesnt' even have the PCIe bracket on it.... seems like a pretty important detail for a card
. Two 8-pins just means you can turn it up, doesn't mean it has to draw that at stock. In theory 2 8-pins is 375watts... but i've seen plenty of cards with much lower power draws include more than they needed to in order to allow overclocking.I'd like to see them continue to offer 'OEM' AIO options. Especially if they're using HBM for a consumer-facing part; give me a silent 240mm AIO with a relatively compact card and higher power limits?
well even just running the fins lengthwise down the card and keeping everything else the same would help. I get the aesthetic they were aiming for, but with this design all that is going to happen is anybody who puts it in a case capable of showing off the pretty card is going to have a big old caked on dust layer right over it. Filters be damned it is gonna happen, I have no doubt that any decent degree of case fans will vent this out so its mostly a non issue but still.... Given the hate so many AMD users have given the 3000 cards for blowing that heat back into the case why are they praising these cards for doing the same thing.
