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.

Oh I'm not expecting it to ever be, since 1080ti feels like lightning that struck once and likely won't strike again for a long time, but a man can dream.

We also have to note that Nvidia seems to have given up the goose when it comes to making and selling an abundance of Titan series cards, since the 90 series is apparently replacing that side of the market (and the prices feel somewhat similar to Titans).

I can totally see Nvidia getting greedy at the start of the new lineup with their prices though, assuming they refuse to learn an important lesson after these past 2 yrs.

Completely off-topic to this, but I just recently noticed the whole drama surrounding Bridget from GG, and I gotta say, that's not really a good move from Arc, considering how they've just mucked with an existing character and their entire lore, which just feels like it's been changed now in order to pander to a select group of the fighting community.

I've even seen some Trans folk suggest Arc create a new character that can be Trans, and tbh that's a way better idea than trying to make Bridget Trans (because when you really look into their backstory, it makes it super creepy how they've basically been groomed and forced to come out as Trans, which really doesn't paint that community in a good light, if ppl are gonna be "happy" they came out, only to ignore the fact that prev grooming was involved). 

I don't play GG though, but I do feel sorry for the femboy crowd, since they've technically lost a favourite character, and tbh, there aren't that many Bridget types rolling around in the fighting genre as much.

Also twitter is an absolute mess with that character's recent news atm, I wouldn't tough that site's threads with a 10ft pole.
