TheGameKiller_12 said: I see so it will be best to just keep the card I have instead of spending the extra money for the 3070? My pc is able to watch 8k videos, I have 16gb ddr4 3200, gtx 1660ti gaming x, m.2 1tb, 650 psu, and a ryzen 5 3600 with a asus B450-F rog strix
TSMikeW said: @SoL With the G434, you would be able to upgrade to any of the RTX 3000 series cards. Even the 3090. It'll require an adapter for the custom 12 pin PCIe on these cards, but we expect this adapter will be included with those cards.

It is, there should be 12-pin adapter included with the video cards per NVIDIA. I'm hoping PSU manufacturers will release their own as well.

Or is that redundant?

Or is that redundant? Not sure what you're asking? Two GPU's? You can, I'd put that money into a higher end card. Check in NVLink: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/nvlink/As for the 12 pin power connector, I'm sure we'll see as a part of PSU's in the future. Pinout wise it totals two 6 pin PCIe. 6x12v, 6xGround. It has a smaller foot print than 2x6PCIe would. Saves space on the PCB.
Waffler said: I'm content to wait for a 3060 later in the year. Even then I might not buy it straightaway. Brand new PC parts tend to be prone to issues and problems at the outset and need a few months of "settling" into stability. Shoot, I might opt for a 2070 or 2080 if they drop down in price by a lot. I don't need a ton of horsepower for an eventual 3440x1440 monitor, but I'm of the mind that a 3060 will likely hit the sweet spot and be much more efficient than the 2000 series.
Aronax said: @TSTonyV Thanks for all your helpful info in this thread.I'm looking to do my best to get my hands on a 3080 ASAP. If you think there's a real chance they'll be physically at the stores on launch day I'll take off work and show up stupid early. What's the best way to find out more info? Try to call the store and talk to a manager? It's about a 3 hour drive for me (about an hour from my friend's house), so it's gotta be a pretty good chance.Thanks.

Green_LED said: Ichthus said: Yeah, real benchmarks I think are definitely going to be important. The stream showed performance with both Ray Tracing and DLSS 2.0 on but there are a ton of games out there that don't support either of those. If we're getting a 2x performance increase even out of those situations, RIP everybody who bought a 2080ti in the last couple months. I'm honestly a bit disappointed that the price was higher than originally thought / what was leaked. I thought 1400 was perfect for a Titan class performance card. Guess I'm going to need to save a bit in these coming weeks. I haven't traditionally followed GPU releases. When should benchmarks be released? After card release date or before?

I've seen some leaked benchmarks for the 3080 here: https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-4k-aots-benchmark-leaks-outWhich are insanely impressive to me. I'd expect benchmarks to be released on release date, or after. Most who have access to the card now are under NDA.

Aronax said: Swansons_Mustache_9 said: Will MicroCenter have founders cards or just AiBs ? This is the question I'm stuck on as well. Rumor going around is that Best Buy will have FE cards and everyone else will have all the AiB versions.

Swansons_Mustache_9 said: Can I simply present my Microcenter card for the 5% discount or do I need to purchase the item with the actual card?
gsmithfcd said: Hi there,I went to my local Micro Center yesterday and they told me they are not expecting to get any Founder's Edition cards. They said that would only be available through Nvidia directly. I thought this was weird as they are already on Best Buy's website.Regardless if this is true or not, my question is: How will we know which cards we will have to select from prior to the doors opening on launch day if we are waiting in line? I'd rather not show up early in the morning not knowing at all what the selection will be. Will they be posted on the website, just not available to reserve online? If so, will that be the day before?....Same day in the morning?...When doors open?Thank you for any responses!!
JerseyXS97 said:So with the recent news from AMD, do you think we will see more people holding out on the 3070/3080 releases? I doubt we'll see much change in the 3090 launch on the 24th but I do imagine we'll (hopefully) see a bit less activity on the launches of the other two.
