ahh, the usual "i was forced to buy a Nv card at gunpoint (out of a white van).." BS..
need to go there too so:
glad all those amd cards performed so well with their uberfast HBM, while running cooler and more efficient than the Nv counterpart. oh wait.

Oversaturated. Get the original cards out first. Plans leaking for something new when you can't even get the original plan in stores is kind of ironic. I didn't forsee the Ti series coming until a year from this release.

Everything hinges on AMD's response, and we'll know something about that tomorrow. No point in releasing a Ti now (or in the immediate future) unless whatever AMD has in store (and in the pipeline) hits too close for nvidia's comfort. I would assume a 3080Ti would debut at relatively around the same time the 1080Ti did - again, assuming AMD has a mouse, and not a mountain.

I feel no pity for nVidia after all the price bullshit they pulled last couple of years

this is vaporware until the market sees the AMD cards.
Then and only then, will one or two Ti models show up.

3090 is held back by the power limit, even though 550W without hitting the power limit is good for about 10% at best.

Would be cool if we no longer have to wait couple years for new cards to come out. If competition heats up, both manufacturers will release something every few months to upstage the other.
Undying
Developing new archs takes years and that wont change but a refreshes will be more common.

Duhh... 🙄

Sounds tasty,
FE 3080 £650
FE 3080TI £800?
£800 is my absolute max unless i have an unexpected winfall.

And rasterized performance is still where it's at imo, until ray tracing becomes a very mainstream thing with barely a performance hit. I understand the need for new tech, but with the current performance hit it still gives, I still don't see myself using it that much.

I'm pretty sure the only time we're gonna see a 3000 series refresh is September 2021.

I run a UWQHD monitor and I'd love the extra 2GB just for the sake of some extra "future proofing" and because it feels a bit wrong to go down from the 11GB on my 1080 Ti. Still, if this 3080 Ti turns up at $999 there's just no way. The 1080 Ti still performs very well in UWQHD and the inherent performance of the vanilla 3080 should see me through at least another 3 years. The only thing that "worries" me is that new effects and technologies will make the 3080 struggle for memory in a year or two.
Ideally I'd very much want to go AMD this time around, but then again I've got a G-Sync monitor, so....

The 12GB card is what they should have released in the first place. People's perception of how much RAM the card actually needs were always going to dictate this uplift.
Belfaborac
To be honest I expected 14-16GB, certainly not a regression to 10GB. It'll likely do just fine, but if AMD hits it out of the park with a 6900 XT equalling or bettering the 3080 in terms of both performance and price - and also delivering 16GB at that price - that 3080 is going to taste a lot less sweet when I finally get hold of it.

All these rumors everywhere can only mean one thing imho, AMD has something good coming this time around. I can't explain it otherwise.
Stormyandcold
The products look good and are the best available. However, availability is the key issue here. I'm pretty sure that the RX6000 series will be excellent competing products, but, I'm expecting their 2 cards to also have the same supply problem. We also know that as soon as there was free capacity at TSMC, that AMD bought it and put that to making the new console chips. They already can't fulfill the orders from Sony for PS5, I highly doubt that desktop RX6000 is a higher priority than the next-gen consoles.
Belfaborac
Seems to me a new foundry or two might be a good idea.....

I would definitely hold off for a 12 GB RTX 3080 Ti at £799 given how long my current GTX 1080 Ti has lasted me (3.5 years and counting!). I was put off the current RTX 3080 because of its 10 GB of VRAM simply because when I upgrade, I upgrade, and buying a card with 1 GB of VRAM less than the ancient one I have now just wouldn't feel right to me, especially if this is to last me 2+ years. I suspect the new AMD GPUs will not have less than 12 GB of VRAM.
tunejunky
Yes but the node process changes are faster than that
