Anyone with a GTX 1000 series card going to upgrade to the RTX 3000 series?

Well looks like the evga 3080 FTW3 cards will not be available on the 17th. At least according to Jacob on Twitter.

This makes me sad, mostly cause now it will be even more of a crap shoot to try to get one.

50 minutes till the reviews hit. Anyone excited. I am definitely more excited for this launch then the RTX 2000 series launch. That's for sure.

HWC video is up:

Watching...

Well benchmarks are out and that's a hard no. Nvidia dropped the ball hard again for 1080 ti owners

Whaa...? Did you watch the HWC video? The benchmarks in that video had huge FPS improvements over 1080 Ti even on a 7700K system. I'm not sure what you're referring to @supaflyx3 What are you watching/reading that says it's no good?

I really appreciated that 7700K benchmarks stuff because running an 8700K myself I wondered if it would keep up with the 3080. Now I know it'd be just fine. Oh dear... maybe I didn't want to know that lol

According to the HWC video it's fast... super fast. They do recommend at least a 700 watt p/s though as it draws a lot of power.

Nope I can't stand HWC videos. I'm going off written reviews, 30% increase on an almost 4 year old GPU is a joke

Hm... curious. I'll have to look at some more stuff but joke certainly isn't the HWC message.

Gamers Nexus video claims 80-90% improvement over 1080 Ti at 4K... that seems pretty good to me! 70% as you go down in resolution and changes depending on the tech being used but still improvements. He claims... in his guarded way... 3080 is impressive

It all depends on the games. Nvidia optimized games you'll see a large increase. In poorly optimized games (IE all I play) the increase is miniscule, in MSFS it's something like a 15-20% increase.
