Sooo.... NVidia basically has one GPU that they bin for being a bit slower (3070) and a bit faster (3080)? Seems like this would be the sweet spot, probably runs significantly cooler and less power hungry than the others, with a significant amount of the performance. Anyone want to take bets that they won't meet the demand?
Fixed that part for you. I highly doubt, considering the rest of the 30xx launch it will be an actual hard launch where you can obtain the FE card for the MRSP.Quote:
Nvidia follows up the day after with the RTX 3070 eBay hard launch
so all that bought 2080ti, for insane amounts of cash, got reared?
Yes. If people were willing to spend that much for a 2080ti then surely the onus is on them, doubly so if they bought one in the last few months.Quote:

I guess if you based it on how they didn't increase the perf/£ much from the 1000 to 2000 series I can understand perhaps why you might think the value would hold. Either way trust us to find fault with getting a better value generation of cards ey.Quote:

If you bought it over the last few months then it is bound to sting more, but people have been warning others about the 3000 series being a potentially significant boost since late last year. In the end, everyone does benefit from increased performance. It's not like older GPUs stop working.Quote:
