This new series of RTX graphics cards from NVIDIA has been out for a little while now. It mostly has gotten mixed feedback from its loyal, and/or new consumers. At this point, it is like NVIDIA is trying too hard in a sense. It is interesting to watch it play out none the less. This is one of the few cards that anyone can access which has 8k gaming on it reportedly for only $500, which almost makes anyone look like a fool who recently bought 2080. But are they really fooling themselves by buying this series of cards?
One of the big things the 30 series gives us is NVIDIA broadcasting. NVIDIA already has had multiple partnerships with popular streamers in the past, but making a more professional, and clean streaming option is very innovative of them, and branches off of more than just a video card, and more directly for gaming.
This is just the basics of the card from what we know, there are still many other things that NVIDIA consumers could potentially stick forward too. But it is not looking entirely good.
The Hate RTX 3080 is/was Receiving
Turing architecture was something I mentioned before in the past, but the RTX 3080 tries to up their game, not only with this but the whole card in general. Ever since this card was released a lot of the stock value of NVIDIA during this time has plummeted significantly over the past couple of weeks. But how has NVIDIA done finally manufacturing this card?
Scalping Complaints And VRAM/Quality
RTX 3080 was a normal card until scalpers. Until bots have taken away the original value of the card, causing an inflation of the actual value of the GPU. They could have done better with better AI security on their website but reportedly refused to acknowledge that leading to this situation. This obviously leads to people not enjoying the product. It almost rips off their value of something they paid a lot of money for. $500 exactly. I was even skeptical myself which is why I have been waiting a while before upgrading my current card.
This card lacks the amount of VRAM they claimed to have versus what it actually is. Enough needed to max out 4K gameplay is still under question. What we know at the moment 10GB is the max VRAM for the 3080. Most GPUs have maxed out the span of roughly four-ish years but under 10GB this is probably normal. I’d expect more with the 3090 potentially.
Some people do upgrade their cards frequently in this span of years, so I guess you could have a fast card under 4K in the meanwhile. They could have had a better shot at manufacturing 15GB to 20GB to last even longer than previous cards possibly. But then again, it all really depends what the company can giveout. So it doesn’t seem entirely baited I suppose
For me, I already have a 1920 x 1080P monitor, so I would be good with this rather than having to worry about burnout or ‘bottleneck’ of the 4K 60Hz which hopefully isn’t too significant. Almost would save you in a sense if you have a good monitor. I have an ASUS VE278H, so it would do well in my case for a good minute.
3070 And 3090 – There contributions
How much do RTX 3070 and 3090 help in this mess? 3090 is more of an editing project card, more or less for creative use on Adobe applications, with projected 8K quality this can give that field a brighter impression, with at least a slightly better card than the previous GPU. This card has some traditional specs, like PCIe 4.0, but does project us with a 24GB video capacity.
It has been said there will be some percent degradation with their 3090 cards. but does this affect the necessities of needing PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 with the card? This has been discussed before but if you are using an NVME SSD you are only already implementing those 8x PCIe slots. But unless you are using a non-threadripper CPU from AMD. A threadripper for example doesn’t provide ‘enough‘ PCIe lanes, like 64 16x which could not fit in the PCI lane areas perhaps (or other reasons), which has been claimed to not be enough, this could be a good use. This is something interesting about the 3090 cards, hopefully, makes sense could’ve explained better
Both of the other cards are still in stock. Although, 3070 is expected to have a larger supply of these models. This could be factored in due to the absurdly low $500 price it contains in its stock. This card has around 650w worth of power. This is significant since I even thought of switching out my 2070 Super on my build list. It would reduce my card price to $1000. The GDDR6 memory is still reportedly faster than its two other counterparts. Although but still gving the same performance roughly as a 2080 TI approxiamtely. Anyways, this is my take on the 30 series so far. Hopefully it makes some sense 🙂
