RTX 3070 will outperform 2080ti at less then 1/2 the price $499!?

    Hrm, so what are you saying about me that bought an Alienware Aurora R8 with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 and 16GB of RAM with a 1T SSD drive?
    With that said, though, it was a good investment without knowing it at the time. Now that I work from home, I work with numerous web pages open, a program that requires 4GB of dedicated RAM to work, video conference calls, Gnu Image Manipulation Program, have EQ running and other things going on. $1800 well spent.

    Not sure about you but I play other games then EQ. And I like to play them on ultra settings :) Although I will grant EQ takes up the majority of my time. So many games in my steam library I have still not played yet.

    So the 3080 is definitely a good deal. I'm curious to see if the 3070 will match the 2080 ti performance like they claim. I'm still on the fence if I want to spend $700 for the 3080 or $500 for the 3070. My wallet would prefer the 3070 but depending on how it stacks up to the 3080 I might bite the bullet and spend the extra 200 for the 3080.

    I'm also interested in 3060 Ti info.

    Not bad for a 320W+ heater. I'm looking to upgrade my 1080Ti FTW3, but these look like turning my room/office in to a sauna.

    Yeah, I'm not liking the power draw.
    But how hot does your 1080Ti FTW3 get? How hot would it get doing a benchmark?
    I watched a video that stated 71c on benchmark for 6 hrs straight.. with the 3080.

    I'm hitting refresh over on Nvidia website .. 3 mins to go for Sep 17 (launch date) of the 3080.

    The only one I was able to find available was an MSI one at Best Buy for $750 and that didn't last long. I'm waiting to see the 3070 before I buy one, hopefully more 3080's are back in stock by then.

    And with that said...

    Yeah, I saw that earlier. Kind of makes me glad I didn't get one on launch day. I usually go with EVGA Cards and they seem to be one of the cards affected.

    Even if you have to underclock a little it's still probably worth it.
