So as lots of tech enthusiasts expected, the 2x performance increase was only in select ray-traced titles and a pretty substantial increase in power consumption.  It basically tops the charts in power consumption even outdoing Vega 64 and Radeon VII.

Luckily the new fan setup manages to keep the temperatures in check without actually dumping too much heat in to the case compared to 2080 Ti's as well as being pretty quiet.

Now with the higher power consumption and improved architecture, Nvidia is able to play a lot closer to the low/mid-range cards in terms of performance-per-watt which is great for a high-end card and very attractive for those that also want the productivity workloads.

I need to take a look through these ! Really would not mind a 3090 but the power consumption does not really come as much of a surprise.

Wow looks like Nvidia has managed to annoy early adopters again by releasing a 20GB variant of the 3080. Its good, but should have come first. More Here

Interesting, I wonder if enough 3080 10GB cards will get out and around by then and we'll see some of those change hands when the 20GB come out.

Good question. All I know is I would never buy a 3080 personally. 10GB of VRAM IMHO was a HORRIBLE decision by Nvidia. Minimum should have been 12-16GB. Still plenty of distance between the 3090 with 24Gb lol. Plus if they do release a second revision of the 3080 with 20GB, it just serves to annoy early adopters. Then again Nvidia enjoys doing that with the Super series.
