Nvidia RTX 3090 / 3000 Range

[tronic44 3,642]

These cards are banging! I've been looking into them a lot lately for work and i'm so impressed by all the figures, especially the price!

I'm new to the GPU game.   The 2060 Super is the only GPU I've ever purchased. 

 

Any idea how long I can expect it to last me?

Agree Phil, there’s quite a leap in performance though the 3000 series doesn’t suddenly make older cards rubbish. 

Definitely although the 2080ti is somewhat tainted forever now😎

Cmon Tommy, you know better than to ask these questions. It all depends on what you play, what resolution, what graphics settings and what you'd consider a playable framerate. 

 

Off the cuff I'd say another two years easily provided you're not expecting 100fps @4k on everything in a couple of years time. 

 

 

 

 

This new 3k series of cards are looking good. Everyone's raving about them because they're such a huge leap above the 2080ti, however I think this says more about the 2080ti than it does about the 3k series. The difference between the 2080ti and the 1080ti is pretty much negligible, whereas the difference between the 980ti and the 1080ti is massive, the same again between the 2080ti and the 3080. It's always been like this with Nvidia, massive upgrade ---> mediocre upgrade ---> massive upgrade ---> mediocre upgrade. 

 

AMD has been awfully quiet during all this, I can't wait to see what the 6 series cards offer. With them shitting all over Intel they've likely been able to plough a fucktonne of wedge in to R&D in to their GPU arm. We can only hope it pays off. Never know with AMD, it could be an absolute stonker, or it could be another Radeon 7.

If you're gaming in 1080p then it'll last many more years but if it's 1440p then the card will probably only have another couple before you'll be gaming with barebone settings and missing out on all the lavish new graphical features. If you go up to a 3070 then that'll give you a good few years of 2K at the very least with a strong performance return and the RTX extras.  

[BO7H B4RRELS 2,453]

Good stuff, thanks guys.  I'm good with two years.  

[FallenDark200 168]

Yeah like I think its amazing that your guys pcs are still holding on strong thats why I'm building new and won't have to worry for a long while so im stoked about the 30 series

3070 delayed until the end of the month

AMD have pulled their pants back up and are coming out punching

Price and availability will be interesting

The RTX 3060 Ti is more than a replacement for the RTX 2060 Super, instead it faces down the $699 RTX 2080 Super—and wins.

 

[Plumbers Crack 4,062]

IIRC the Founders Edition is very tricky to get hold of now? Apparently they’re not selling cards direct anymore

Bump


Am I going to need to upgrade my entire PC to make use of the new Nvidia cards ?

I kind of dont see the point in getting one if I'm going to need a new PS, motherboard and a whole bunch of other stuff to upgrade properly and make the most of it.

Is there any site where you can plug in your current components and it will tell you if they are compatible etc ?

Any graphics card will plug in to any motherboard provided the physical space is there. They all run on PCI-E protocols so they're all the same. Your PSU is likely to be strong enough too, but for the sake of ruling it out, post up what case you have any PSU and we can tell you. 

That's if you can get your hands on one, the 3000 series cards are fucking impossible to get hold of atm.

I imagine the 3080 is the one to look out for this year considering how much lack of 3090's are about?...and then you have the scalpers to contend with.

I have a 550W Seasonic focus +

Not sure i really need anything more than 3070, i suspect that will be more than good enough.

The 3070 will draw between 450 and 500W. I'd recommend a 650W PSU minimum to be safe. 

If you can find a 3070 that is😁

[FallenDark200 168]

I'm currently running my machine in the middle ground. Not pushing it to hard I want to get the longevity out of it. Taking care of my investment I think will be the best case scenario but anyone looking to upgrade like everyone else, I'd say wait. 

    1. Invidia is planning on the 4000 series cards already set to release next year.

    2. Amd is also set to release other forms of newer cards this year as well making the population of cards go wild. I feel the market will be flooded by the end of the year.

   3. Think about your all around build sure my build is capable of 4k and doing monster workstation and rendering but think about how the market works for pc, just like consoles they will always improve on a new generation rename it and make more off it so be patient and get deals worth your money and time not just your wallet, you'll be more happy with it in the long run.
