Was anyone able to get one? Gone everywhere as of 6am est.
I don't think I want a 3080 but I've had a hell of a time trying to update my profile on Nvidia.com for their shop. Apparently you need to go add something to cart, then from the cart you can access your shop profile which is different than the standard nvidia.com profile.It's 6am PST not EST. So, you have 15 minutes. Newegg had a Gigabyte for $749 late lastnight that you could order but wouldn't ship til 9/22. I had one in my cart but it unreserved after a while then sold out. Only really want the EVGA FTW3 which doesn't sound like will available at launch and wasn't going to try and flip the Gigabyte.
HUB demonstrated that a 2080 starts to tank at 4K in Doom vs a 1080Ti because of the lack of Vram. That's with 8GB at 4K right now. This wasn't him just looking at some software reading. The performance was ahead at 1440p, then it tanked at 4K due to a lack of RAM. How long before 10GB gets rekt at even lower resolutions? All it takes is one good AAA game to break the 10GB buffer. I'd be pissed.
There's no way this much GPU power is a good fit for only 10GB of ram. It's ridiculous. New models will be out after AMD drops and everyone will look back at the 10GB card and wonder why the hell it was even released. It's the skimped-out starter card to maker Nvidia look good. It only looks good right now (to some people at least) because it's the first release of a new generation for both parties. I'm not buying it.
I think next week the 3090 will be the same. Looks like from what I posted above we may get a 20gb 3080, not sure when.yeah i figured it would be a paper launch
i might try for a 3090 next week, or i might just wait till next year and see what AMD has to offer
and if we'd get a 20GB 3080 or a ti
Don't worry guys, the scalpers won for your benefit. You can buy a new RTX 3080 on ebay for between $1500 and $3000.
why the vendors don't just put a captcha on the "add to cart" button for hot items like this, i have no idea
well actually it's probably that they just don't care who buys it
Depends on how many settings you want to crank up to max but I don't think there would be crazy performance gains. It may just be smoother with ability to have everything maxed out.Out of curiosity would there be much of a difference in 10GB vs 20Gb 3080 @ 1440p and 1080p in performance? (Games like Call of Duty, Fortnite, Battlefield, and Tomb Raider)

If you need to close out the gap between 10 & 20GB you need ram caching. So good amount of ram from a superspeed nvme with Asus boards should do it.Out of curiosity would there be much of a difference in 10GB vs 20Gb 3080 @ 1440p and 1080p in performance?

That 20GB version is the one to get. I wouldn't ever consider Vram again with a 20GB card. I've enjoyed that carefree use with the 1080Ti for almost 4 years and I'd hate to be concerned about Vram starting day 1 of having a new card. The 10GB version is a no-go and should be renamed the buyer's remorse version.
This will depend on how it's priced. If performance is close to a 3090 and it costs $1200 then maybe the 3090 is a better option, at least for those of us keeping a card more than 2 years like we have been.That 20GB version is the one to get.

He can resell it now for double the price. Periodhonestly though if you were able to get a 3080 day 1, you could use it until mid-2021 and still probably resell it then for a profit
the 3080 w/ 20GB wont cost above 850$ for the FE version.This will depend on how it's priced. If performance is close to a 3090 and it costs $1200 then maybe the 3090 is a better option, at least for those of us keeping a card more than 2 years like we have been.
I don't imagine the 20gb 3080 being better than a 3090 if it is released shortly after the AMD cards with 16gb of vram. I think those AMD cards are being announced middle of October.
