this is definately the most difficult device i have tried to obtain.
Can you not lend it off them for the time being ?
No harm in asking ,Maybe, I didn't ask. I didn't want to take liberties since the price he's offered is so low.
Oh yes, the 3090 is pricey but you won't be able to run these games at these levels as they need way over the paltry 10gb the 3080 has.
Wasn't long ago he was maxxing everything out at 4K on a 970........ There was absolutely no need to get an new expensive card at that time as the 970 did it all.......Keep telling yourself that to justify the cost

That was 1st thing that came to mind hahahaWasn't long ago he was maxxing everything out at 4K on a 970........ There was absolutely no need to get an new expensive card at that time as the 970 did it all.......
Glad those extra few frames were worth more then double the price of the 3080My 3090 arrived today. Oh my gosh what a card this is. I've only tried 3 games so far.
Rdr 2 with everything on ultra and the resolution modifier Cranked right up. Astounding graphics
Then it was odyssey. Once again everything on ultra and resolution modifier up to 200. The graphics are even more breathtaking than usual. At this level they are phenomenal
Last up tonight was battlefield 5.same again with the graphics as everything absolutely maxed out with rt and all the other rtx effects
The Norway story looks so good. The framerates are silky smooth.

The 3090 is truly a breathtaking card.
How much VRAM is being allocated to these titles?Oh yes, the 3090 is pricey but you won't be able to run these games at these levels as they need way over the paltry 10gb the 3080 has.
Well over 10gbHow much VRAM is being allocated to these titles?
Me but I don't see it happening.Glad those extra few frames were worth more then double the price of the 3080
Back to the real world. Who is going to try their luck on the 3070 launch?
Well over 10gb
Really? Assassins Creed Odyssey / Battlefield V only allocate around 8GB. RDR2 around 6GB.Well over 10gb
Really? Assassins Creed Odyssey / Battlefield V only allocate around 8GB. RDR2 around 6GB.
In fact I dont think many current games allocate more than around 9GB. And thats only how much is *allocated* by a 3090, never mind actually used.
Have a look at this. Keep an eye on the GPU MEM column. The extra VRAM is not being used.
Agreed.I think MSFS does but not till 5k + and Skyrim with mods. Theres one other title, cannot think of it. Its certainly not any of the games he listed.
People get confused by requested and VRAM used. Games will ask or reserve as much as they can.
If you edit, work in unreal engine, render massive workloads or do compute and play games -150% worth it.Agreed.
A 3090 will gain you a little bit extra performance, but its not due to the extra VRAM.
Whither the performance gain is worth the extra £700 is the question we have to ask ourselves.
Well over 10gb
Agreed.

Whether the performance gain is worth the extra £700 is the question we have to ask ourselves.
Thats all when and good.I spent more than that on new motherboard, PSU, ram and CPU and got less than 10% performance boost in games.
Everyone is thinking that it's only a 10-15% performance boost and 10GB memory is more than enough - Which may be the case right now, with games being made for the lowest denominator which is a 5 year old PS4 gen.
With new consoles coming out games will start to move forward again with new graphic tricks to stress cards, more games taking advantage of DLSS and RT, new gen games streaming in lots of graphic data from their fast SSDs etc. The next generation games in VR and 4k will quickly eat up those frames of a 3080 and 3090.
I'd rather know I have a bit of headroom over the 3080 rather than have a 3080 then realise that frame rates get to what it was previously like with the 2080ti , an £1100 GPU which struggled to hit 60fps @ 4k running some last gen console games and those same games had 8GB or more of vid memory used.
As an example. The mod linked in my sig has 6GB of textures loaded in and hits 60fps but dips to 52fps in certain parts. That may run at around 52fps on a 3080 and dip to low 40s in some areas. That game is 8 year old xbox 360 port.
So yeah, I'm happy with my 3090 and I'd buy another if they brought back a fully working NVLink.
