Nvidia did somehwat screw AIBs by designing, need benchmarks but what seems to me like a very nice cooler. Are they protecting AIBs by charging the usual $100 markup?

I'll probably go Gigabyte, had many of their cards without issue, i like the windforce OC 3080 with 4 years warranty (£680).

Yeah they do so basically 599$ and 799$ for aib models.

ITGuru:

Until i see some genuine mindblowing benchmarks over my existing 2080 ti, I will not even consider upgrading.

They will come... question is only under what res and settings. But yeah, same thing here with me, waiting for comprehensive benchmarking. Still shocked by the price though.

Overclockers UK has prices.

They've a nice Palit for £640, 3080 10gb. AMD must be quaking in their boots, not on CPU side of course, damn i hope they can pull it off too.

they already made it (AMD) they have contracts for a lifespan of new xbox and PS5, that's billions of orders, something nVidia won't catch up in at least 3-4 years. People need to understand that nVidia and AMD are not competing for the best GPU in the market.

Billions? lol.. the PS4 sold ~110M units. Certainly not billions. Also those console orders typically have very little margins.

110 million units is 100x more, or more, than nVidia sold 2080ti or will sell 3080 and 3090...Do you need further clarification? Do I need to separate the cpu, the apu and the rest of the sistem in the order they were made because PS5 or PS4 is not one part, it's hundreds of parts in that box? You also forgot xbox, on purpose I assume, because I know you are just playing coy. cmon man...AMD will sell truckloads of processors and RDNA tech in any form that they get order for. It's a larger business than discrete gpu. It doesn't matter who has more money, it has to do with why there is not an AMD card that is as fast or faster than 2080Ti for 2 years. 5700xt is $500, that's soon going to be $300 tops if 3070 really comes out for masses at $500. And that still wont hurt AMD, because you know, lifespan of new line of xbox and PS is still good business...

Yeah I forgot the Xbox to play coy, because we all know that sold 950M units to make your statement accurate.. just kidding it sold 50M units, half the PS4. So again, not billions. Further AMD's embedded silicon team (how much revenue they generate on Xbox/PS + more) posted $565m last quarter vs Nvidia's $1.6B (gaming). So it's not a larger business than discreet in terms of total revenue. Unit's wise, John Peddy showed Nvidia is shipping roughly ~18% of total GPUs for the quarter in 2019, total was 93M - so Nvidia was selling ~16M units per quarter last year. I'll be generous and round down to 50M a year (4 quarters). PS4/Xbox combined has ~150M units over 7 years vs Nvidia's ~1.4B discreet units in the same timeframe. So even units wise it's not larger either. It's not larger in any sense and it certainly isn't billions of orders. That being said it is decent revenue for AMD and it lets them steer the technology of the majority of games into their favor - which is a really strong position to be in. I think their semicustom also may have saved them from bankruptcy, prior to Zen, but none of this means it's a larger or more lucrative business than discreet GPUs, which is what you're trying to imply. The real reason as to why AMD hasn't competed at the high level is basically what @Fox2232 said in the other thread

Imagine being minority player that releases GPU as powerful as 2080Ti for same price as 2080Ti at same time. You would not even recoup tapeout cost on 7nm. AMD simply can't afford to make dies that are not going to see high volume sales.

it's at least 2 parts per console, so multiply everything by 2 at least. Billions were my gestimations, idk why you took it so seriously. My point is: AMD worked on those contracts for hundreds of millions of parts to be sold, instead of working out how to compete with 2080Ti and sell a million of those and watch 3080 landfall ruin even that number of sales...They played smart, instead of shooting themselves in the foot for the pleasure of people that wouldn't even buy those cards anyway. PS. there is no reason to quote the post right above yours when you are replying to it afaik. 😉 PPS. Those numbers nVidia is shipping, is to AIBs and laptop manufacturers, not just to stores selling to end customers. Most of those are not even on the shelves yet, let alone sold. I see people buying used 1070s and 1080s anything rather than paying $500 for 2070 2 years later or 2060s for $350, when there are better deals out there with same performance (or better). 2xxx was first RTX series and a waste of money, except for early adopters that buy anything and everything latest anyway. We see new new price/performance from nVidia now, proving my point pretty much.

This article is misleading. The cards are not to be released until September 17th

This gigabyte card looks Soo much like a rip off. Version of Asus ROG Strix card. I'll pass if you want raw performance and reliability go with Asus ampere 3080. I tried all vendors parts most failed me, I been using Asus PC components for over 10 years and they all been the best.

I really like their new Eagle models. Simple and clean. Never used a Gigabyte GPU but I have used a couple of their mainboards in the past. They were solid.

AMD had the consoles last generation as well and Nvidia still has a market cap higher than AMD and Intel combined.

The 3080 Master for £749 looks tasty AF.

Why not going for a founders? For once the design seems good this time.

Hilbert Hagedoorn:

Gigabyte released the new GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards powered by NVIDIA® Ampere architecture. GIGABYTE first launched 4 graphics cards - GeForce RTX 3090 GAMING OC 24G, GeForce RTX 3090 EAGL... Gigabyte Releases GeForce RTX 30 Series Graphics Cards

No, they have not released anything. They have told the Tech press about it, but they haven't actually released anything. Definition: "the action of making a movie, recording, or other product available for general viewing or purchase." In other words, being able to touch the item. This term is was overused in Tech Journalism, as well as "unleashed" and "outed".....for once I would like to see actual thought put behind these articles....
