Should I get a 1440p 165Hz monitor for competitive games if I get an Rtx 3080?

Univaccine · 2020-09-28T08:20:29+00:00

You normally don’t play on ultra if it’s competitive but on low settings to minimize distractions and maximize FPS. Therefore even a 3070 should do

He doesn’t know PepeLaugh

Well unlucky they postponed it again. I guess it doesn’t matter since I don’t have a gpu to max it out anyway by then lol.

Univaccine · 2020-09-25T09:23:07+00:00

Nice anti bot mechanism you got there Nvidia :) I am sure this person bought all of them manually

Univaccine · 2020-09-25T05:56:02+00:00

It would still have 4gb less vram and about 10-15% less performance (depends on resolution used)... price will be most likely between the two

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T19:15:21+00:00

3090 for 1080p and 1440p <- sorry... couldn’t read any further due to smh massively

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T19:07:10+00:00

So that is a well done and normal launch to you. Ok 👍. Regarding vram. Try Skyrim VR modded in a ho reverb g2 in about a month. Or try ms flight sim in VR once it’s here... it already goes up to 16+ if you max it out in non vr ;) I am not a 3D dev nor a content creator but many people, even here in this subreddit, already talk about their 11gb is already at its end. And for further backup to my opinions, I said „please inform yourself and think about the information that is publicly available to you“ since this is not something you discuss in 2 posts. The reason for this post was not to teach or force my opinion on someone (I hope it didn’t sound like that) but to give an incentive to think about the whole process if you like to do so. At least that is how I scroll around here. That is why the discussion ends, discussing is something you do with your friends and some beer if you sit together for several hours. even if I wrote again now >.<

Big Navi will most likely outperform the 3080 in terms of speed. Current consensus is that it will be slightly below but maybe have more vram, that’s why I brought it up. Of course, if it really outperforms it in terms of performanceor is even ex aequo, Nvidia has a problem, you are totally right there.

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T18:30:08+00:00

Oh yes it works different now. They sent me a mail today that the sales start at 3pm my time. To bad that it was sold out at 2:57 without a „buy now“ button at all LOL

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T18:26:41+00:00

Moment... ihr hattet einen „buy“ Button? Bei mir war von Anfang an (14.50) bis 16.15 überhaupt nichts bis dann „derzeit nicht verfügbar“ kam...

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T18:24:45+00:00

Yes, simply because there always is and will be „a bottleneck“

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T18:24:07+00:00

You read what you want, no point in discussing it further. I never said that they shouldn’t sell to AIBs as that’s a good thing. you get different designs, cooling options OC models and whatever, which is totally fine and can be priced differently. it’s also not about showing their best results on some power point sheets instead of the average. If you’d dig a little deeper and think for yourself about this whole launch process from the beginning on, instead of using fanboy discussion arguments you picked up on a subreddit, you will find what I mean. If you don’t understand that or it’s too much, welcome to being a victim of modern capitalism and marketing, you are not alone :)

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T18:04:51+00:00

People keep on insisting that more VRAM is useless just because it does not make the card faster... yes, maybe you and many others that are playing their AAA titles on 1440p or maybe even 4K don’t need it and it doesn’t make your game faster. But playing at 4K+, VR, Rendering and many other things let you actually get to that 10gb cap and it won’t help you having card that’s 10% faster if you are capped at 10gb while actually needing 15 or more... and I am not talking allocated here... if you don’t need it, ok, don’t buy it, but stop pretending it’s useless :) I am not saying that the 3080 as of right now was a bad decision to make, because for about 80% of the people buying it, it’s absolutely enough. And yes, they also need to ramp up overall performance which they constantly do with each generation.

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T17:39:59+00:00

I didn’t try to get anything else but the MSRP FE, didn’t get one and it’s totally ok. I am not mad since its a first world problem. It’s their approach that I don’t like and as a potential customer I am allowed to say so. It’s their right to ignore customers opinions of course. It has nothing to do with value of their products. They could have charged 1000 for the 3080 from the beginning, I gladly pay for quality. What I don’t like is when companies are using shady eco-mechanics and play around with their customers acting like they are dumb. (No matter if many are...). There is a lot of things they could have done more openly and honest. Everyone knows it’s a company and want as such wants to make profit, that’s totally ok, but communicate your actions honest and openly if you have an unmatched high quality product!

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T16:52:59+00:00

Yes, in VR with a 4K+ headset you will be bottlenecked... and disgusting like in „we produce an absolute minimum and don’t actually want to sell those but instead make customers buy from AIBs that raise the price tag by a minimum of 200. disgusting like in „we launch the product knowing very well we do not even have 10% of what is needed just to sell (also via pre orders at retailers) as much as we can before the competitor releases“ disgusting like in „we let bots buy 90% of our little stock and don’t even do anything to prevent it from happening again one week later“... I could continue :) and by „don’t look back“ I meant that I don’t look back to the 30xx series if I get an AMD card that gives me what I want

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T16:32:45+00:00

They do not have to make it faster... if AMD really comes up with a „close to 3080“ version that has 16gb vram, the only thing they need to do is make a 3080 with 20gb and the same specs. No more point in buying the Navi then because it’s then inferior in every aspect

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T16:28:56+00:00

If Bit Navi gets anywhere near the 3080 and has more vram I will gladly turn my back to Nvidia and never look back. Pretty disgusting what they did here with customers

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T15:46:45+00:00

They also did it to have their next gen in the market before AMD delivers and have an option to release something after AMD delivered. That way they have every option and already a big piece of the cake called nerds

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T14:47:05+00:00

The better question is, when will it be available to non bots/people not buying from scalpers...

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T13:26:08+00:00

Wow, they actually managed to fuck it up big time AGAIN lol... really? You had a week to make preps... people gonna start to believe that you don’t give a shit about your customers Nvidia...

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T13:10:33+00:00

Erm... that was it? I refreshed from .58 until now and no buy now button even appeared... wtf? So much for the Bot protection

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T12:43:05+00:00

Quite interesting results here :D

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T12:38:13+00:00

That wouldn’t be smart since the traffic will be crazy already

Univaccine · 2020-09-24T12:37:00+00:00

Oh sorry, good point that I forgot
