News Best Buy Lists GeForce RTX 3080 Ready for September 17 Release

Toggle sidebar Toggle sidebar
Yeah it is a shame that pre-orders aren't a thing this time around. There are rumors which indicate Ampere volume at launch is going to be 4x less than it should be. If true, it makes sense why Nvidia pulled the pre-order option.
 
I did not expect to say this in the past , but after my friend (and some people here) told me that 10GB in 4K is not enough for some games , I think i will wait for the rumored RTX 3070/3080 with 16GB/20GB ...

I was planing on buying the RTX 3080 from day one , but my friend told me he has RTX 2080 ti and it uses 10300MB Vram in 4K with ultra setting in COD warzone Game , he has RTX 2080 Ti .

Given that RTX 3070/3080 are faster than RTX 2080 ti , I think it was stupid from Nvidia not to make them at least 12GB VRAM ...

Guys, we have no idea if 10GB of vram or 8GB of vram will be good enough or not for 4k gaming.

Hardware Unboxed covered this in their latest QnA, there's a lot of games out there that will eat up extra vram resources not because it needs too, because it just puts extra "stuff" there in-case it needs it in the future.

This is common especially in Call of Duty Modern Warfare/Warzone, the game will eat up as much vram as you give it. That does not mean at all, that the game needs as much vram as it uses.

Any leads on how to ensure successfully ordering one at launch or what time zone it goes live?

I've heeard 6:00 a.m. PST for FE... As far as getting one, I'd use something like Distill.io and set it to refresh as many pages as you can at 5-second intervals, otherwise refresh them manually. I'd also assume having auto-fill configured and/or making sure you're signed into any sites will make checkout faster. 👍

Lol, so these are going to sell out limited numbers super stupid fast and then instantly be listed on auction sites for double the price (and sell)......my prediction and I hope I am wrong.

Nah, you're right! 🙁On eBay, at the start of COVID a guy was selling toilet paper for $25/roll and they SOLD. LOL
 
So......what is my BEST chance for scoring a 3080? Does EVGA or NVIDIA sell them directly at the release time? I've never tried to do this before. My 980 KINGPIN is now not that hot anymore! I am in a situation where I CAN sit there and click refresh till the cows come home. LOL

This is actually a misnomer of "uses" for the memory. Your friend's RTX-2080TI memory is allocated up to 10300MB when playing COD Warzone, but that doesn't mean it's being used. Gamers Nexus published their review of the RTX-3080 today and discussed that. In other words, you will be safe buying an RTX-3080 for 4k gaming, if that's what you're looking for.

It will be more than enough. This from Gamer's Nexus testing on their youtube video that released today (9/16)

sorry some reported 10800MB being used , and some reached above 11GB then the game fps drops from 80 to 15 meaning the game was using system RAM.
