Do note that the 3080 is still 2 weeks away (17 sept), 3090 24 sept, 3070 in October.
I would consider getting a non-founders edition though, in the past other brands have had better/more silent cooling for pretty much identical pricing.
Edit: While the 3090 (350W) is the only one requiring a 3 slot cooler, all 3 use the new 12 pin power connector. The 3080 founder edition power draw is still 320W, vs 220W for the 2080.
That's not that difficult considering the RTX cards had terrible price/perf.
Certainly the market for them will take a beating compared to new prices now. But I can't imagine it collapsing like that purely based on the supply. How many people are really going to drop their 2080 just because a new thing is out there?
I'd love to be wrong, as an original 2070 owner ;)
Pretty much everyone who paid for a 2080 Ti on launch and always need to have the latests bestest thing.
Well for one, keeping a card you already bought is free, buying a new one costs money.
Why are you all getting so excited about the prices given in a paper launch? Wait until you can actually buy one at that price, which I'm guessing isn't going to be until well into 2021.
Also if find a 2080ti for 200 before the year 2022 let me know I'll buy you a beer.
Why would you keep a 1200$ RTX 2080 Ti or a 2500$ Titan when you can get at least the same perf for 50-75% of the price with the new products, and much better RTX perf ?
This assumes that with RTX off the new gen won't be slower than the old one, but I think that's a fair assumption, and if it isn't, you can always return the 30xx card in 2 weeks, and buy an used 2080 Ti or Titan on ebay for pennies, once the market overflows from people upgrading for the 30xx series.
People were still asking for 900$ for a used 2080 Ti on ebay this morning, and the 3080 700$ price just destroys that offer. Many owners are going to try and dump these cards for as much as they can get in the next two weeks. I wouldn't buy a used 2080 Ti for more than 250$ today. In one month, these cards are going to sell used for 100-200$. If AMD can only match the 2080 Ti perf, they are going to have a very hard time pricing against the used 2080 Ti market.
> And let's not forget the huge power draw, requiring a new power connector and a 3 slot cooler.
That's only for the 3090 IIUC. All other cards were announced as being actually much smaller than the 20xx series ones.
