NVIDIA: GeForce RTX 3080 Reviews Delayed, RTX 3070 Availability Confirmed
NVIDIA in a GeForce community forums post by staff member, announced that reviews of the GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition have been delayed to September 16, with the review NDA lifting at 6:00 AM Pacific Time. This NDA was originally slated to be lifted on September 14. According to a Reddit post by an NVIDIA representative "NV-Tim," the delay was in response to certain reviewers requesting more time from NVIDIA as COVID-19 impacted their sampling logistics.
In other news, NVIDIA announced that its $499 (starting) GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card will be available on October 15, 2020. The performance segment graphics card is hotly anticipated by the gaming community as the other two products in the series—RTX 3080 and RTX 3090—are enthusiast segment products. NVIDIA claims that the RTX 3070 beats the RTX 2080 Ti in performance, which means the card should be capable of 1440p high refresh-rate gaming, and 4K UHD gaming at 60 Hz.

"RTX 3070
Faster than 2080 Ti" Regarding the leaks on Videocardz, it could be much less than expected: 3080 is 24% faster in 4K than 2080 Ti in FC New Dawn, which is a more typical game, meaning there is no RT or DLSS. What is sure is that the FC ND 2000 series results are nearly identical with the ones benchmarked on Guru3D

www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_rtx_2080_super_review,15.html Why since Maxwell? Pascal was the best performance jump maybe from all generations regarding NV. Take NV official marketing with a grain of salt (I know you wrote "If performance is real").
Going to be unicorn tears before long.
...these launches are starting to mirror console launches in their sophistication and quality of rumors. ("THE NEXT PLAYSTATION IS TOTALLY AWESOME! IT HAS GOLD PLATED CONTROLLERS THAT COST $2700 EACH BRO!") That is the new target demographic I guess. :ohwell:

There is just no way that RTX 3080, a card which will retail at $700, would use a cooler costing $150. Actually you're wrong. Pascal was a tweaked (and extended) version of Maxwell, which were introduced due to delays of Volta(just look at older roadmaps showing Kepler->Maxwell->Volta), but it's still a good design though.
This basically means that you have the card already, and will be able to publish a review in a few days? YES/NO is enough...
That is: Reviewers and selected 'influencers'.
The rest of us will have to put up with vastly inflated 'market' pricing due to fake availability issues.
Mark my words.
Just like Intel's BS 9900k/10900k pricing and the rtx2060 Unicorn, released to counter AMD's rx5600. That nobody could actually buy.
They are playing you for suckers.
Several started doing this immediately after the announcement of Ampere. It seems like you are nervous. These are outright lies.
Pascal was merely a shrink, more bits cut off to make it more gaming oriented, and improved power delivery. Its not too dissimilar from Ampere. Turing did the ground work, Ampere nails the efficiency with a shrink and a feature refinement. Similarly, Maxwell introduced GPU Boost 3.0 that was iterated on and got wings with the new node. No, just you apparently.
What's going on guys? Jeeeesus. Its a bunch of GPUs and people get all emotional and the 'facts' flying across the table get weirder every page/post.
Not because it's a paper-launch, but because it's that damn good and demand is there.
Plus would love to the price and performance of AMD this time around.
