I wonder how much those cards will cost.I think the 3080 will drop around November this year 3070 and 3080 and 3080 ti in super limited quantities (buy quick as resell value will probably be insane..)
3060 will be around every where I bet.
I think people are trying to compare it to a 2080 instead of a 2070 because its AMD and more comparable to a 5700 rx but AMD is notorious for having a bunch of higher numbers than nVidia and be less performing. Its always been that way. It will definitely be on a par with a 2070 and thats great.
These are probably the best overall value for next gen consoles that have released so far. The Ps4 and xbox1 were so far behind PC's by time of release it was embarassing. These new consoles on release day will probably out perform majority of people PC's as most people aren't running 1440p/60 fps (if thats what the games are aiming for). the current high end pc's which is the exception not the rule, already out perform the next gen consoles but this is first time in history I think the consoles will out perform the average person PC, until about 2022
My monitor is 2560x1440. I got the 2070 and most games run pretty damn good. 1440 100fps plus on high most of time. I wish console gamers would focus on fluidity like PC gamers do. They keep pushing resolution at the expense of frame rate. Where since I've become a PC gamer all anyone cares about on this side is frames. Most people play MP games on 1080p monitors still so they can get 240 frames etc.
If console side would accept that 2560x1440 looks fine they may come to appreciate fluidity over marketing buzz words for resolution. I'd rather play at 1440 144 fps with 144hz refresh rate than 4k 30 frames, or even 60 frames.
it'd be nice if these new consoles started including graphics options to the degree of PC. Want to turn ray tracing off and get 25 more fps? go ahead, etc.
