Heh that’s exactly the reason I didn’t mention, knew I would be asked for bench. Very limited time to spend on such things, I wish I had time to play Squadrons tomorrow but alas there is no way.

squadrons? ohh, yes, the time has come
We have some benches, same situation, but the 3090 Systems have also a bigger CPU.
2080ti 41FPS
Titan Stock 270w Powerlimit 49FPS
3090 57FPS

Once again there is more to it than a FPS reading. There are synth frames, frame time, dropped frames etc. Amper is just superior to turing in this regard.
my VRmark OC 2080 TI results few days ago.
orange room= 14447( average 3080 = 12283 )
cyan room = 15167( average 3080 = 14917 )
blue room = 5193( average 3080 = 5148 )
I beat all the average 3080 results so far (at least when I did the benchmark)

[VooDoo DE 3090 vs 2080Ti] (The VR benchmark! How good is the ultra expensive RTX 3090? Plus comparison to the 2080 Ti! - YouTube)
All tests 200% SS max graphics settings.
My takeaway is that the extra ram on the 3090 does nothing after all. No game goes above 12GB! 
Thoughts? @Heliosurge @DrWilken @PimaxUSA
The 3090 thoroughly whips the 2080Ti though but surprisingly not because of GPU Memory. Shocker was Fallout 4

Not that surprising in my experience. Maybe with games perhaps like DCS might get closer or break the 11g Vram on earlier cards.

Seems to me that 12GB is enough for now.
DCS is in the list BTW

It makes sense to me that no games use (or actually allocate) huge amounts of memory, yet.
But I’ll be buying the 3090 for the following reasons:
- It’s the fastest “gaming” GPU available (and I know I’ll buy it later if not now anyway) and I want the best for my X (8KX that is, not any of the other X’s).
- With it’s 24GB of RAM it should last a while (who am I kidding? I’ll upgrade to a 3090Ti or 4090 as soon as it’s available anyway).
- Judging by “Frame Chasers” overclocking attempts it seems to be a card I can keep pushing if “needed” (I’m getting the Strix OC card = 480W limit!).
- I don’t care what AMD offers as Nvidia has all the features I want/need.
- It’ll be a pretty huge leap from a 2080Ti (I don’t care if it’s “only” 10-20% faster than a 3080).

Because I can!

but when they do you will want a 4090
true but I suspect as in the past a 3080Ti will match its performance and ditch the absurd amount of memory to make the value worth buying

Yes. That’s what I said… 
Yes, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’ll still be the fastest GPU, does it?
If they make a 3090Ti though (“soon”) I’ll be slightly annoyed but I’ll still have had the fastest GPU and VR framerates for a, hopefully long, while. Right?
As someone else mentioned, it’s a bit like cars. The extra “few” percentages are the most expensive ones but people still buy supercars… 
EDIT: As I probably can’t buy the card I want (ASUS ROG Strix 3090 OC) I might even be buying at a discounted price by the time it’s available (if Nvidia feels pressured by AMD).

the gain has significant for ED! interesting
for me, i will change my 1080 ti, it will be for next year.
Why not get one of the $4 or 7 thousand cards Linus demoed for his 10k test.

Because I’d like something that “just works”… 
Jensen says it just works and he has that cool leather jacket, OK…?

Well, not everybody owns a watercooled 380W Ti At least, I don’t, and I am probably not the only one.
And if you add the former costs of a 2080 Ti + a good watercooler / set, you easily reach(ed) >1400 / 1500 €/$ minimum.
=> It is much cheaper now to get an only slightly more powerful 3080 (FE / aircooled) than a heavily overclocked 2080 Ti with watercooling, even though the prices for the 3080’s are 100 €/$ higher than announced originally.

Doesn’t seem like a great deal…

- System Interface: PCI Express 3.0 x16
- Four DisplayPort 1.4 Connectors
- 3D Stereo Support with Stereo Connector
CDN$ 6,363.26
I’ll just have to settle for the “budget option”…

Keep in mind there likely releasing a 7000 or 8000 series if they haven’t yet.
