    Re: Nvidia 3000 series

    The Zen 3 CPUs look like a nice upgrade. If all goes well, that will be my next build. I was talking with JPM about a Zen 2 build earlier this summer, but everything points to Zen 3 being worth the wait. On the GPU side, I think I would wait for AMD to make a move and release whatever they can - if for no other reason than to see what NV does to jockey their cards in the best performance per dollar slots.

    I am worried that price wars won't happen this time. It seems the miners are going to go back to GPUs because these are so powerful. So the availability will be crap, and retailers can charge above MSRP regardless. Anyone have different perspective?

    Well, for crunching the 3080 looks better than expected. Not bad at all

    Good! I've looked at a few reviews on YouTube, but all the benchmarks are with gaming. I am really interested in seeing crunching testing.

    I'm guessing miners are buying them up... I can't even get some of the sites to load.

    Probably best not to waste time trying to get one for awhile. As i said, it would be the worst launch ever. There never was much inventory. Even on ebay, scalpers are selling nothing more than confirmed preorders. No cards in hand.

    Yeah, I just read a longish-article slamming NV for what is essentially a "paper launch". Hardly any copies in the wild, apparently.

    A paper launch is exactly what it is lol

    Nvidia is also getting slammed for not having anywhere near the promised gaming perf (21% over 2080 Ti avg.) but that's just typical of their business practices the past few years.

    Odds are we'll have full specs on AMD's next gen before Nvidia has any amount of stock worth mentioning. Have seen a couple of reference pics so far. Looks great but no perf numbers yet.

    Oh, and i forgot to mention if you plan on overclocking a 3080, best you're gonna do is about 3% if you're lucky LOL
