Yea idk how Nvidia is able to get info from AMD before they even launch but Ampere stack against RDNA 2 was pretty solid so I suspect that they have something to go on this time around too. Now that we know Nvidia is also uping the clock speeds similar to AMD, I think we get to see a better picture of where the wattage requirements are coming from. 4090 with 16k cuda cores running at 2.8Ghz will be nuts. And that's before the Kingpin versions.

We will see though. If a 4080 can be 40-50% faster than 3080 while keeping the 320 watts and $700 price point, it should be a very killer GPU. Especially with Nvidia's lead in feature sets. And this time, Nvidia has much better Vram throughout the product stack instead of with Ampere were a 3060 had more Vram than 70 and 80 class loll.

Imagine, just imagine if...they were to make another 1080ti lightening in a bottle with the 4080...

ngl, I would die. 

Personally I don't think the 4080 will be the 1080Ti equivalent. While I don't think any card will be that good when it's price to performance cause it really rekt Nvidia's Turing sales... There's just too much of a core deficit imo between a 4080 and a 4090. What made the 1080 Ti special is unlike AMD's "Hunting Titans" marketing scheme back then, 1080Ti really was the Titan killer. It beat the Titan X which was also Pascal based so Nvidia themselves released a Titan Xp just to keep the Titan name as the top dog in their own lineup. Hell it was so powerful that it gave AMD engineers nightmares as even two years after 1080Ti launched and AMD released their new flagship called Vega 7 to go up against Turing, the 1080Ti still stomped on it.

I think at best, the rumoured 4080 Ti with it's 14000 cuda cores and 20GB of Vram might be more so what the 1080 Ti was. If Crypto and such doesn't fuck things up again, hopefully it will be priced well enough and performs well enough to also be legendary. But I don't think we will ever see another GPU quite like the 1080 Ti from any company.
