Nope the rumored 3080 would be 20% faster than a 2080Ti and also 50% faster than a 2080. That would be a great improvement gen over gen in every metric except for ray tracing, where in would fall a bit short of my expectations given the rumors we've had.

Sorry, I understood your 50% as being 50% above the Ti, my bad.

Oh, no, I'm the one that should apologize. I made a comment thinking about regarding a card that no one had named, hence your confusion.

LG's 144Hz 27-inch 4K IPS gaming monitor is now available

https://www.engadget.com/lg-4k-ips-ultra-gear-gaming-monitor-104539945.html

"The company touts the model as the “world’s first 4K IPS 1ms GtG monitor,” since the 1ms GtG model it succeeds doesn’t have 4K resolution. Its spec sheet also lists a 144Hz refresh rate, DisplayHDR 600 support and 2 HDMI ports. It sadly doesn’t come with a USB-C port, but it does feature NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility" " it’ll set you back at least $800"

Slowly getting there loll

That monitor looks good, and it's a Freesync Premium monitor that makes it compatible with G-Sync.

My only concern is that 4K at 27" may be a very high pixel density. But then again, I'm typing that on a 25" 1440p so...

GN has Confirmed: 12-Pin Connectors For Ampere, Likely OEM Focus


https://www.gamersnexus.net/news-pc/3605-hw-news-nvidia-rtx-3080-12-pin-cable-ddr5-spec-intel-i9-10850k

Alright maybe Nvidia is crazy but as you shouldn't need a new PSU according to the report and the partner cards shouldn't come with the 12 pin, maybe they are half a step crazy? But if it's OEM focused, then it won't be care worthy either way... I am willing to believe GN more so than a few other sources since their confirmations have been fairly on point.

What worries me from this connector is: why the hell does Nvidia want a 600W capable connector?!

Disclaimer: I'm quite sure that it's the extra amperage what Nvidia is going after, but it's still shocking.
