Just went out and found this comparison of the 3080 with a modded 2080 Ti:

HMMMMMMMM.

Note: mild adult language.
 

Do we actually know if the footage from DigitalFoundry was actually from the 3080? There is a chance the video was taken from the 2080 but the actual graphs and % numbers from their testing. 
 
I have been following DF for so long and I trust them personally. I do not think they are faking numbers to make Nvidia look good just because they sponsored them.

Care to summarize? That is way too much video from someone who does not have one of these cards in hand.

No.  I'm about half way through the second video.  It's a must watch.
 
But if you insist.....dude has a modded, high power waterblocked 2080 Ti and it smokes the 3080. 
 
IMHO any reasonably well cooled and OC'd 2080 Ti should match a 3080 stock.  Because that's what a 3080 is - a 2080 Ti with higher clock, higher power limit and better cooling.

oh man, it's kevin again, just generatin' threads - dude,  your're still on the EVGA forum.. you didn't even create a new account or nuttin    LOL

Here's the same guy's 2080 Ti benches, he does 17048 Timespy GPU.

So yeah, 3080 stock should come in around 16K, maybe even less.

You’re so far beyond delusional that it’s actually hilarious.

Not sure what that fps counter is for in Tomb Raider, but if you freeze on the transitions, the FPS are the exact same.  Which doesn't make any sense.  And it happens 3 or 4 times.  I am not sure what it is doing, but it isn't for the game itself.  

Nvm. Guess we're talking about different things.  Only video I'm talking in reference to is original DF video.  

 
You've been trolled.

You've been trolled.
 

Not by me.  AFAIK the Tomb Raider FPS numbers is the only other bench we have right now.  IMHO this guy does a pretty good job breaking them down.  Maybe he's wrong, who knows. 
 
I do know that I'm just a bit tired of 14 year olds on reddit telling me the 3070 is the best thing ever and 2080 Ti's are worth $300 now, lol.
 
The 3080 should be an awesome card regardless and great deal.

The reason the cuda cores are so high is because the ampere cores can do 2 operations per clock. 10496/2 = 5248

Damn Kevin, you really went and ran with this dumb stuff eh? I personally don't think you can be this naive as I've seen you post things that aren't absolute rubbish but this? Do you really (I mean REALLY) think the 3080 is only going to be about as fast as a 2080 Ti? 
 
Look I know you want to consider running SLI on your 2080 Ti and cool, good go do it. Don't let the upcoming generation of cards ruin that for you if that's what you want to do, then you do you man. You want to parade some clowns video as your spear of truth? Really? That idiot in the video reminds of the morons who think the Earth is flat, we've never been to the moon and Elvis is still alive. C'mon man let it go. This isn't a good look for....well anyone really.

Just approaching the whole thing with a bit of skepticism, don't like the lack of facts in the release, nor the raft of tech press parroting.  We'll have to wait and see on the benchmarks, maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong. Watch the videos and decide for yourself.  Or don't.  I'm still an Nvidia and EVGA fan.
 
I'd rather not sit around guzzling the koolaide..........are you not entertained?

I can't take that idiot seriously. He so hilariously clueless it's actually cringe. The guy is getting roasted in his own comment section on top of having practically no idea what he's talking about. You really can't be taking that clown seriously can you?
 
No one says you have to buy into any hype, but for you to then to take some nonsensical, terribly put together, guy's ramblings in his moms conspiracy basement as justification for your cause is the complete other end of the spectrum.

Oh sure.  Dude is a loony toon, but so is Buildzoid sometimes.  I was drawing similar conclusions prior to finding the video.
 
Saddest part though is the people waiting for the 3070 that might not be any better than a 2080S in non RTX.
 
We'll just have see though, won't we?  You can all roast me if I'm wrong and I promise to not gloat too much if I'm right.

I am waiting until we see multiple benchmarks but from what NVIDIA released it seems like it's going to be faster then a 2080Ti.

The reason the cuda cores are so high is because the ampere cores can do 2 operations per clock. 10496/2 = 5248

Is it true that ampere has double the raw shader performance but is bottlenecked elsewhere?

More can be done because of the 2 operations per clock. I wouldn't say it's bottlenecked. 

But AFAIK the 3080 isn't twice as fast as the 2080 ti even though it has twice the CUDA core count.
