Well I guess all I can say is I'm excited to see what both sides bring to the table this time.
Wouldn‘t that make the 3090 look very silly though ?
Activating pro features would be one option, but that would mean reducing Titan prices considerably and I‘m not sure they would want to go there.Yes but I doubt Nvidia would kill off their 3090 so easily with this move. One thing comes to my mind: If Nvidia activates "pro features" for 3090, maybe that would be an argument.
On the other side, I expect more contenders from AMD'S side too. Similar to Ti or Super models of Nvidia.
Ticking off customers who are willing to go for the (consumer) high end does not seem like a good idea to me.I dunno, I kinda thought that the RTX 3090 already looked pretty silly without help.
This just makes nVidia look like crooks and the people who bought the RTX 3090 look like absolute fools.

Lower bandwidth memory, and probably much less of it. The article claims 20GB for the Ti, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it slot in at 12GB or so.
Imagine paying for RTX 3090 and then Nvidia comes out with the 3080 Ti. Kinda what happened to RTX 2080 Ti owners when RTX 3070 was announced.

Rumor: $999 RTX 3080 Ti arrives in January, will rival the Radeon RX 6900 XT
Nvidia stopped making the 20 series back in like Aug/Sept. The only ones left are what stores have in stock which is mainly online, the rest are in pre builds.And the 20 series is still nearly impossible to get at anywhere near msrp and will likely continue to be into next year. Throwing the msrp of pc tech around is meaningless these days since what people actually pay almost always ends up being more by a significant enough amount to matter. Especially when it comes to gpus.
And? My post had nothing to do with production and availability, only price.Nvidia stopped making the 20 series back in like Aug/Sept. The only ones left are what stores have in stock which is mainly online, the rest are in pre builds.
While I understand someone being angry when they buy something and then another product arrives that’s about the same yet cheaper (I bought 3 Maxwell titans right before the 980Ti was released), the product you bought isn’t any worse.Typical Nvidia. Giving the biggest of shafts to their most loyal customers by providing something that's virtually the same, for 30% cheaper, mere months after selling it to you. Bravo
Not a poorer card, just a poorer value. Then again, if you were buying a 3090, you're probably not that price sensitive to begin with, so it shouldn't matter.While I understand someone being angry when they buy something and then another product arrives that’s about the same yet cheaper (I bought 3 Maxwell titans right before the 980Ti was released), the product you bought isn’t any worse.
Hence, the 3090 isn’t suddenly a poorer card because the 3080Ti exists.
If you ALREADY bought it, its value remains the exact same it always was - unless you planned on reselling it.Not a poorer card, just a poorer value. Then again, if you were buying a 3090, you're probably not that price sensitive to begin with, so it shouldn't matter.
You know, I really hope not. When I heard of a possible RX 6900 XTX with water cooling, I cringed. It brought back memories of another card that should have never existed, the Fury-X.Yes but I doubt Nvidia would kill off their 3090 so easily with this move.

I couldn't agree more. An RTX 30-based Titan would have 48GB of GDDR6X and would cost at least $2500USD. That's an extra $1000 tacked on to the already ludicrous $1500 price tag of the RTX 3090.Activating pro features would be one option, but that would mean reducing Titan prices considerably and I‘m not sure they would want to go there.

Before, the 3090 did not look like great value compared to the 3080 but it was the high end, I.e. more than double the memory, more cores etc.
If the 3080 is released with the rumored features at $999 MSRP, you have to pay 50% more for the 3090 but only get a little bit extra vs. the 3080Ti.
Hard choices. Maybe releasing the standard 3080 on the big 102 die was not such a good idea.
That does seem to make sense on the surface but how many people become wealthy by literally THROWING money away like that? Also, how many millionaires are gamers (sure there's some but most are usually getting drunk on the golf course). I'm willing to bet that the RTX 3090 is primarily the card for guys who AREN'T rich but want to front like they are. Kinda like the guys who live in trailers and drive BMWs.Not a poorer card, just a poorer value. Then again, if you were buying a 3090, you're probably not that price sensitive to begin with, so it shouldn't matter.
I have no worries for that because I know AMD took their lesson after so many disastrous products. Hopefully we are not going back to pre-RDNA1 and pre-ZEN era. Big Navi seems like a fine-tuned architecrure to me (just like the zen3) due to the fact that AMD had a long time working on consoles with some similar feats, I hope I won't be wrong in this.You know, I really hope not.
