Where are the 3090 reviews!?
I'm betting we don't see those until next week. Probably next Wednesday.
I posted a lot of these reviews earlier in the other thread...
I think day 1 reviews deserve their own separate thread rather then go through a 36 page thread.I posted a lot of these reviews earlier in the other thread...
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-pci-express-scaling/I missed the part that explained why they used an Non PCIe 4 Intel CPU to bench the card? Again GN just trying to drag everything into some even playing field.
I did not like the review.
They should have used pcie 4.0 because they otherwise are not benching the cards actual design features. I dont care about fairness to most people out there. Give us the raw uncut full featured performance. A Ryzen 3800x is more than enough CPU and wont bind it all.
As far as the card, im kind of but not wholly impressed. The 4k performance is not super impressive. I suppose I am more impressed with the minimums and nth% lows than I am anything else.
Just waiting on the 3090 review now.
Im biasing my opinion based on my previous 2080ti which turns out is still a super powerful card and the hype and marketing really wqs just hype more than reality.

Other reviewers used AMD cards with PCI-E 4.0 and it didn't look like it made any difference to me.

That power usage brings me back to my tri-sli GTX 480 days.
Nice card, nice price, you're getting what you paid for. 2080 Ti purchasers should be legitimately pissed. However, two sobering observations...Quake 2 RTX at 30fps.....I know but still......and finally this....at $1400, what is that 3090 going to deliver to justify its cost. That is where my head is at right now..........^^^^^ or this.
TechPowerUp did a surprising thing for them, and launched Ampere review with an AMD vs Intel CPU comparison. They included every game from their normal GPU review, to get a baseline of the difference!
Intel has a 10% performance advantage over AMD.

Ad. as everyone expected x16 pcie 4.o is still overkill it adds 1% of the performance improvement from going Intel.
Zen 3 can' t get here soon-enough!
The 30 series launch is the definition of meh. The only thing that makes it good is the terrible pricing of the 20 series.
I'd care if I played at 1080p. ~ 6% at 1440, ~1% difference at 4k. On a 9700k, waiting to see what Zen3 does.
I won't buy another 14nm+++ CPU.
A mere 2-7%, actually.TechPowerUp did a surprising thing for them, and launched Ampere review with an AMD vs Intel CPU comparison. They included every game from their normal GPU review, to get a baseline of the difference, AS WELL AS TURNING ON PCIE4 vs 3.0!

The Digital Foundry review is my favourite, as it illustrates the key point: the RTX 3080 isn't for 2000-series owners (although it will provide sizeable gains), it's for 1000-series users -- they may see more than twice the speed. You certainly want it if you intend to play games at 4K.
Also, I got a kick out of DF noting "this is not a joke" when the 3080's frame rates in Doom Eternal ranged well into the hundreds in low-demand scenes. That's the kind of performance I wouldn't expect until years after the game arrived.
You are wrong. Every single freaking review outlet has said that you are wrong. Stop perpetuating nonsense. Makes you look like a crybaby.
The 3080 isn't for 4k gaming. It doesn't have enough VRAM.
Na, not at all. Got two still here in the casa and have been using them for years. Can still easily sell them for $500. So if I bought a "$700" 3080, a $200 expense for moving to next gen. So cost me $450 a year for the usage that was awesome....besides all the Space Invader cards I got at launch.2080 Ti purchasers should be legitimately pissed.
