3000 series from nVidia June?

You team MS now that they are buying up all those studios? It does seem like a good deal for 4k gaming, but I just cannot go back to 30fps after playing on a freesync monitor all these years. Choppy gameplay really does pull me out of the game.
I'm no team bro.
It is a amazing deal vs building.
 
It's finished?

You know it's a launch title. Looks like they turned Ray Tracing up quite a bit compared to what we saw early summer. They aren't going to get it to native 4k/60 from 1440p/60, at that fidelity, in the next few weeks. Maybe 4k/30.
 
Nvidia does this EVERY time. I don't know why this time people are taken aback.
 
Can a mod edit the title to add 2021 after June? Kthxbye.

From Reddit. Apparently this is from a shop in Norway.
 
Finally got an RTX 3080. Or was finally able to order one. Had to use my Dell business account and it was 10% over MSRP but its on its way.

Ok PC heads, I ain’t no expert far from it, but I was wondering if any of you guys know if my PC could handle the RTX 3090 please?
of course I game but use my PC a lot with blender, adobe CC, unreal engine 4 etc so would I see a big difference from my dual GTX 1080?

my case is big enough size wise, and my power supply is 1300W but not sure about my mobo, CPU etc as I can’t find any info on which CPU is compatible.

my specs are -

Intel Core i7 6700K @ 4.00GHz
32gb ram
twin GTX 1080

anyone know if this would be ok or would my cpu bottleneck it please?

I'm waiting to see a benchmark for Watch Dogs Legion for the 6700k or 7700k, but I suspect that you will probably need a new CPU and motherboard. The 9400F, for example, failed pretty badly playing Legion in one benchmark I've seen.

At 1080p your cpu will definitely bottleneck. At higher resolutions, you should be fine gaming wise. eVo7 , The Living Tribunal Thoughts?

I agree with wshowers

If you stick to higher resolutions you will do fine. If you are going for a 3090 4K is the optimal resolution. 1440p will bottleneck you and 1080p will do it even worse. The z270/170 motherboard should suffice, but I would suggest overclocking your CPU to as high as it can go while stable. You have a 1300W PSU so your system can take it.

As for the difference in performance? Yes absolutely. SLI is a dying thing (I had dual 980tis then dual Titans and even then SLI support was sketchy at best.) The RTX 3090 alone is more powerful than your 2 cards so the upgrade is simple in performance scalability. Also as you say the 24GB frame buffer on the 3090 will help with your productivity suite.

Also what speed is your RAM? If it is below 3200mhz overclock that as well until stable. These actions are to mitigate any performance issues you encounter and while they won't completely eliminate them due to the older hardware they should help you claw back some frames.

Outside of this to take full advantage you would need a faster CPU.

Thanks for the reply. yeah I am doing a little bit more research, ain’t had to upgrade for a long time. Tbh I am prob just being greedy as I think 2x GTX 1080 are still fine. Just nice to have more speed and power for my creative tasks lol 😂

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Yeah I have dual monitors, my main is a wide curved screen and that’s 1440 and my 2nd one is 4K.
yeah I still game a lot on my PC but mainly it’s for my VFX/CG work with Blender, After Effects etc

my RAM is only 2133mhz, so even with my 1080’s do you think it’s a good idea to get faster RAM please?

my PC is the HP Omen X and the case is pretty big and I think easy to upgrade, press a button on the back and the whole side can open up, come a long way from back in the day when you had to have a masters degree and an expert screwdriver set to even get inside lo 😊
i def ain’t not expert though. I mean I can install RAM and have swapped out GPU before but that’s about it.
