GamersNexus did a good job explaining this.

PNY RTX3080 in stock on Dell's website...


Went through the process to see how long it would take to received it...10/27 would be the delivery date. A month and a half is crazy

So the 3090 is just 10% faster than the 3080? OOF.

NVIDIA RTX 3090 Gaming Benchmarks Leaked: Just 10% Faster than the RTX 3080

Apparently Nvidia is now saying it isn't for gamers. Prosumer card.

Thats pathetic for $1500, why did they say it was a gaming card? Makes no sense. Obviously a Titan replacement for a bit cheaper.

I’m thinking the 3080 ti will be the equivalent of a 1080 ti on longevity. You’ll be good for a very long time.

Typical Nvidia schtick

It's the best card you can buy so they price it that way. Sadly it's worse than the 2080ti shenanigans

Yeah, the 3080 was already a much better buy but even more so now.

The real difference is the vram, it’s going to eat the 3080’s lunch in substance painter and doing renders. Gaming won’t be much different unless it’s a really bad GPU bound game.

Eh the price isn’t bad for people who actually need that vram. The 3D industry is licking their lips for this pricing. It’s gonna be a highly desired card. The 3080 got priced right, people need to look at the 3090 as a titan replacement, I don’t think they should have given it the 3090 name.

Gamers Nexus and Joe Stepongzi (Bearded Hardware) have broke and rebroke the Port Royal record like 5 times so far, cooling the 3080 with liquid nitrogen.

So is Ampere disappointing? More and more negative stuff coming out.

Adored ripped into their decision to stick with Samsung despite all their problems. Nvidia's Dumbest Decision

Once they lost the TSMC bid what could they do though really?

Nah, Nvidia claiming 2x performance over RTX 20 series was... marketing. Still a hell of a performance bump for the price.

My OG pixel XL just randomly died at some point Thursday night/Friday morning, no idea wtf happened to it.

So Friday afternoon I went to Wally world and bought one of the cheaper phones I could find to hold me over while I look to order a nicer and got the Moto G7 play for $70.

I'm very impressed with the amount of phone that you get for $70. I may not even get the 4a anymore

The most I've spent on a phone was $399 on an unlocked iPhone 8 after gift cards.

I absolutely refuse to spend $500-1.5k on a damn phone

In the sense of Nvidia waaayyyyyy overhyping it vs. actual performance, yes. Also in the sense of the forced scarcity and early release knowing they could never meet demand right now - yes.

In terms of actual performance and price/performance vs. Turing - no. It's a great card and huge step forward.

If Nvidia just didn't do the dumb stuff like the forced scarcity and ridiculous performance claims it would probably be one of their best launches in a long time.

30-ish % better performance (than 2080ti) at 4k, while bringing the price down 40-50% from real world 2080ti pricing is a big time success on that surface.

Yeah, overhyping is standard. But when you combine that with lying about the 3090 being a gaming card and one of the worst launches ever, it's a bad look.

That Samsung chip is doodoo and Nvidia really did what they could with it. Better be water cooling though, those temps are crazy high for the space heaters. I remember when AMD always had the space heaters.
