That is the understatement of the year. I was ready to get a 3080 Ti (or at least attempt to) so I could  replace my 3080, but after the reviews...doesn't seem worth it at all. 

Just out of curiosity, what did you think the performance difference will be?

Did you expect a 50% improvement from a 3080 to a 3080 Ti?

People seems "surprised" and or "disappointed" by the performance difference between the 3080 and the 3080 Ti. Where we already knew the performance difference between 3080 and 3090 is like 13%. Only by watching specs you could see that the 3080 Ti and the 3090 was gonna be like 5%, hence a rational person would have expect like an 8% difference between the 3080 and the 3080 Ti. At the end of the day it was 3080 has 10% less performance than the 3080 Ti and the 3080 Ti has 3% less performance than the 3090.

 
I think anyone with half a brain could see where the performance was going to land it was essentially impossible for it be faster than a 3090 and was obviously going to be faster than the 3080 so its performance is what you should expect (and honestly its great) the problem that's got everyone so upset is the price but lets be real $999 is where it would have been priced if everything were normal but things arent normal and no matter how much you try to compare the costs of these cards with those fairy tale "msrp" of all the older ones from last year you are missing the most important point of all (you will NEVER get them anywhere near that and those cards prices are SIGNIFICANTLY higher than what's listed as MSRP for anyone who is determined to get a product)
 
Yes theres always the chance you win "the lottery" and get to purchase one somehow at msrp but you are the outlier at that point NOT the norm!
 
If you have the choice of just buying nothing during these crazy times then yes do so this card does nothing to make things "better" in that regard.
 
But IF you are GOING to be buying H3LL or high water then compared to what you're likely to be spending this card could be an incredibly good deal.
 
Getting 3090 performance for less than what a typical 3080 / 6800xt / 6900xt would go for is pretty enticing!
 
I get that people don't want to make these comparisons and that in doing so your ok'ing the increased pricing / scalping / mining / etc but reality is reality and fantasy land is fantasy.
 
I head COUNTLESS people posting that they would MUCH rather give the "extra cost" to Nvidia then some scalper and yet now everyone wants to be up in arms when Nvidia agrees its better if the cards going to cost more that they at least be the one getting the extra cash (so maybe they can do something useful with it vs some scalper)
 
Cards good its plenty powerful and offers reasonable size power req heat etc it's "solid" 
 
Price is essentially what it has to be right now its up to you to decide if that's a ballgame you wish to play in or not.
 
You certainly dont have to buy anything and in doing so would ultimately help your cause as well as everyone else....
 
But lets be real no ones doing that they just want to whine while they pull out their credit card and demand SOMEONE take their money!
 
 
 

i have zero luck but i hope i can score one card

Just an FYI - THE 3080 TI does pass the 3090 in quite a few games. Some AIB cards are beating the 3090 upwards of 15% or more. This is without your standard user overclocks.

What are you talking about? Where did you take this data from? If you are saying AIBs 3080 Tis pass 3090 FE then it's not apples to apples comparison tho. Also beating it by 15% seems quite impossible to me since 3090 is 15% faster than a 3080 in BEST CASE SCENARIOS and it seems unreasonable that a card by the same company that is priced 300$ below it can beat a 3090 by that much

Yes. The 3090 isn’t really a gaming card (although it Is good at it). The 3080 ti is designed for video creation processing. So it’s not surprising that it passes the 3090 on occasion.

But it is simply not true. Provide data to back up your claim. Find me a single reviewer that got the 3080ti FE beating the 3090 FE in a single instance.

super stoked

This is going to be $1500 after tax and shipping. My hype is dead.
I'd almost rather pay an extra $500-600 for the 3090, at least you can mine with it.
 
 

Good luck!!!! to all of you going for the 3080 Ti !! (I am waiting for the 3070 Ti personally)

More companies should be like EVGA that offers programs to remove bots and limit scalpers.

So the elite member hAve a better chance of getting the 3080 ti

Does anyone know how non-elite members can register for the line?

Linus has a video up showing the 3080 Ti FE and 3090 being very similar in gaming performance and actually surpassing the 3090 in some games. 3090 was not made for gaming unless you are wanting 8K or doing video creation. Those are the only people who need 24GB of VRAM. I'd prefer not to pay the extra money for VRAM that I'm never going to use.

Literally the same way... only 24 hours later. Product page will have a button.

The sign up for the auto notify system is open to the general public 24 hours after launch, June 4th at 6am PDT.

I feel like the price is pretty insane but there's not a whole lot we can do if we're in need of a card.... the power consumption of the 3080ti is pretty insane as well.... overall just insane... did I say things are insane?

Hopefully, the que system will work as it should to get cards into bona-fide people that need it but I'm not holding my breath. Sad that my thoughts tend this way now 😕

NICE
