Quekel Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 Very excited with the 3080 prices, now i'm looking for a new build in december! But what other spec's would be great with it?
Hambone747 Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 I'm waiting for the new AMD CPU's to be announced which should be very soon. I have pretty much the same current specs as yours except I have a 1070. I may also look at Big Navi from AMD as the 10 GB on the 3080 is somewhat less than I expected. Rick Abshier
TBAR Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) I'm starting a new build aswell I'm really impressed with what Ive seen of Nvidias new cards so far. I'm 80% sure I'll be going for the 3080 but I'll wait until Zen 3 launches and see how good RDNA2 is before I make a final decison on specs. FYI geforce just published a video on youtube of 3080 v 2080ti at 4k max setting in Doom eternal (not my sort of game) and the 3080 knocked it out of the park. 120 fps as a rough average @4k on a 144hz monitor thats impressive.

Mango Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Impressed and amazed that I won't have to upgrade my motherboard or PSU for the 3080. That makes it so much easier to swallow the cost of upgrading my 1080Ti. Rock on!
Motomouse Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) +1 considering 3080 upgrade for 1080ti But there is a 1070ti with 16GB on the horizon, so perhaps a 1080ti with more than 10GB will also appear in the near future? Probably DDR6x is a little bit scarce right now. In any case I will wait for DCS performance feedback from early adaptors. With the 700 bucks not spent for a 3090, I will have the option to get a Ryzen 4000 + fast RAM + nice Motherboard if the performance is attractive. To speak the truth, I am quite content with my VR experience right now on the 1080ti & 3600x combo. No urge for quick decisions.

TBAR Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Yeah I can't justify the 3090 over the 3080 for an estimated 20% increase in performance for an extra £750; that covers a G2. I read you really need a threadripper to get the best out of the 3090 for me the performance/cost ratio just gets silly at that point.

No urge for quick decisions. So am I, but that probably won't be the case after moving from Rift S to Reverb G2. :pilotfly:
