I'm usually well in excess of 144 fps ultra, everything at max except for max SSAA. 16x Anisotropy, TAA, Ultra settings and 4 x SSAA can be too much workload. At that point you're better off just running DLSS to reduce jagged edges.

You can undervolt it and lower the power draw by 20% without losing any performance. I got my 4070ti down from 280w to 190w and only lost 5% performance, which I gained most of it back by ramping up my memory clock speed.

Congrats on the 4070, still rocking my 3060 12g, but I upgraded that 2 years ago from an RX580 4gigs and upgraded that from a GTX 460 2 years prior which I've been using for nearly a decade. lol.

@scruffles87 I find there is a rough patch on long runs before the projectile speed is high enough for it to stop rendering most of the particle effects. I often see dips, sometimes down to 50ish fps between islands 60 to 90 on a good run. Then there is the freeze frames when you autoloot 100s of chests with 100s of items per chest XD

I picked up an RTX 3090 Ti FE back in August of 2023 when, in France, the RTX 4070 Ti was selling for about the same 800€. At the time I felt like the 24GB of VRAM buffer would last a lot longer than the 10-12GB of the 3080/Ti and 4070/Ti, and it seems as though I was right. My card is currently watercooled and undervolted: runs at ~320W under load (managed to shave off ~100-120W of power) and I have even overclocked it with the undervolt (2070Mhz @940mV when it was running at 2025Mhz @1.070V at stock). As the RTX 3080 Ti is not very far from the 3090/Ti in terms of performance, I think it fair to say that, after watching the video, these cards still have a lot more service years left than NVIDIA would like to admit. I feel like the RTX 3000 series will be the second best architecture and will likely age the same as Pascal. We'll see!

[@lflyr6287]

Iceberg Tech : I've had the "pleasure" of deep dive testing a Manli RTX 3080 Ti 12GB and a Palit RTX 3080 Ti 12GB recently....the first versions continuous PWR consumption in modern games was 400 Watts with peaks up to 441 Watts....which proved just simply too much for my trusty Corsair RM850X via only 2 separate PCI-EX 8-pin cables that it needs. My RM850X can deliver at maximum continuous of 354 Watts (2 x 8-pin + 70 Watts from PCI-EX x16). It can deliver 12 Amps per 8-pin cable (=142 Watts)....whereas the 3080 Ti needs 17 Amps per 8-pin connector (=198 Watts). Whereas the Palit version was somewhat more conservative with the PWR consumption and I was able to run it for a few days to do all of the deep dive tests....and compared to my AMD RX 6900 XT 16GB the 3080 Ti is noticeably slower and eats around 100 Watts more of continuous PWR. All of my tests were done on my Ryzen 7 5800X3D which is the 2.nd fastest gaming CPU on the market currently. I was disappointed in the RTX 3080 Ti 12GB because in reality it's a direct competitor to the RX 6800 XT 16GB at best....while eating around 140 Watts more PWR. The 3080 Ti performs too weak for the PWR it needs to stay awake.

The 40 series was only Nvidia recalibrating their strategy and so far they’ve had zero problems selling products which means the 50 series is only going to double down on what we’ve already seen. During an earnings call, whether it is an artificial intelligence enthusiast, a scalper or a typical consumer. It doesn’t matter who purchases the product when making decisions for the forward trajectory of the company during a PowerPoint presentation.

Few weeks ago debated on 3080 12gb or 4070 super. Picked up a 1 owner very clean 3080 12gb for 3070fe+$140 cash. After few games I immediately sold it because the power draw and heat generated was INSANE. My side glass panel you could probably toast some bread on it. The space heater joke was very apparent. Very happy with the efficiency of the 4070 super and performance for just $100 more

[@AjrAlves]

I have this card since 2022, I'll keep it at least until RTX 50, and maybe even RTX 60.

[@mustypipes6602]

In regards to frame gen, in the mean time there is also Lossless scaling that is a pretty handy program on steam for any user frankly. Even more compatible than fsr.

[@TheIndulgers]

1:31 Accusations? They WERE undoubtedly taking advantage of the situation and their customers. More than just egregious. How any defended this I don't understand. It's the same people who defend nvidia's current 8/12gb vram offerings.

[@thaNZdon]

honestly the real MVP here is the 7500F - such a goated CPU for the $

[@arnabanb]

7:18 I see what you did there😄

[@IcebergTech]

I keep calling that game different things, nobody ever seems to notice!

[@dieselphiend]

Just got a 3090 on Monday. Bought it "used" from eBay, and it turned out to be brand new- peel ply wasn't even removed. I suspect it never got installed because it's a Hydro Copper, and sometimes people's ambitions exceed their motivation. I chose it over anything relatively affordable from the 40 series for the 24gb vram, and because 40 series is notoriously unreliable.

[@EzaneeGires]

Another collab with randomgaminginhd would be lovely

[@blindsavage5772]

Gaming X Trio 3080ti here. runs amazing on max 1440p settings

[@gabrielpalacios4304]

I barely bought my 3080 FTW , I’m coming from a Vega 64, I bought that EVGA 3080 from a coworker for 400 bucks. I don’t regret it.

[@w9s992]

I bought mine last week

[@LukeTheJoker]

Great video as always! Looking forward to the next one comparing to the 6900XT.

[@J.Wick.]

I went from 2080 to 4070ti. About the same power draw, big uplift in performance. And the cooler in the 4070ti is so overbuilt, i didn't think over seen the thing hit 70c lol.

[@zequiel4725]

My current graphics card, bough it from a miner when ethereum stopped being mined, 350 usd in my country. I found it a nice deal!

[@zequiel4725]

pd: this card's power consumptions is very dependent on the manufacter, mine rtx 3080 ti from gigabyte is always around 300w and never exceeds 330w, with 1850 mhz-1900mhz of boost frequency, so if u care about power consumption u can do some tweaking or search your manufacter output

[@MR1993INIT]

Mine is similar to yours then. It’s a Gigabyte gaming OC and rarely go up into the high 200’s but yours may be over clocked as mine is around 1750MHz

[@why_astetics_over_everything]

Do we know if the 50 Xt cards will make a return

[@c523jw7]

Isnt this right though after a couple of years a 4k card turns to 1440p..now the question.is how long can it stay at 1440p. How often should gamers upgrade in your opinion?

[@1LLSTATEGUNSNGAMING]

Im selling a EVGA 3080ti for $480. No issues runs great and still smashes games on 1440p ultra settings.

[@krisvaras7801]

already 3 years ago?? wow

[@toufusoup]

This beast with its power consumption (I had the XC3 12GB non-Ti model) made my room fans circulate and blow hot air on me when I accidentally left it on one night. Absolute monster but I couldn’t keep it so I had to side-grade to a 4070. Wish EVGA still made them.. 😢

[@Chukwu_TC]

I’m still on a 2080 I’m lookin to upgrade but idk I might get that card if the price is right

[@christinastein1196]

I can attest to effectiveness of FSR FG mods on RTX 3080ti. Previously I just couldn't run Alan Wake 2 or Hellblade 2 with path tracing but with FRS 3 FG mods I was able to play with 1440p output resolution up scaled by TV to 4k (with DLSS balanced obviously) and 120 fps. It looked sharp (not 4k like but definitely like good 1440p on a 4k panel) and felt smooth and consistent with path tracing, It needed some settings optimization and all the latest patches but it wored very well. Honestly I didn't expect to ever play path tracing like that on this card but lo and behold it' runs and it runs well !

[@skorpysk]

your footage for HD2 says in top corner RX 6900 XT

[@ipoopmuffins]

my current pc that i built in 2022 has a 3080ti and a 5900x and it's never let me down. solid upgrade from my old pc with an i5-3350p and gtx 1050ti (previously upgraded fromm a 650ti), i see this one lasting me another 10 years.

[@АнтонПопович-ф8я]

Having swapped 1080 Ti for a watercooled 3080 Ti and using FSR 3.0 FG mod wherever possible - i can say it is the best option for today and tomorrow's 2K RT/PT Ultra gaming. Equal to 4070S in all tests and games but 20% cheaper - no upgrade needed till 5080 Ti appears and gets cheaper. 12 Gb of RAM raises no issues for now - you won't play 4K RT/PT Ultra in UE5 games with this card (or any 4070-class) anyway.

[@cyclonous6240]

RTX 3080 Ti was RTX 3090 in disguise with half the VRAM. It's a shame that only because of the pricing set by NVIDIA people hated it.

[@D-Day-fb3pw]

I love my Gigabyte 3080 ti. Got it used on eBay about a year ago for $425. Best money I ever spent on a card. I also use it for VR with my Quest 3 and it still slaps 💯 Edit: The 11gb 2080 ti (my previous card) is still very good in 2024 as well. If you can find one for $250 it's still a banger 👍

[@ivangerginov5648]

That CPU is the real champ here. Nice review as always

[@certs743]

These videos are fun to watch. Currently running and older RX 5600XT and it works for my purposes. I think the last time I was able to afford a so called halo product GPU was back when Radeons were still made by ATI.

[@mikeclarke3990]

We all need to stay warm in winter. Also speaking of I once had a EVGA GTX 780TI and that only had 3gb vram, feelsbadman.

[@oligarchy-usa]

I've been happy with my AMD 7800XT 16GB GPU in my latest 2024 build. My last build from 2019 was still using its original EVGA GTX 1660Ti GPU when I retired it recently. 😆

[@MikooOnYoutube]

For starfield, check if the game is limited by a single CPU core. The game seems to heavily depend on best thread performance.

[@dangahagan7645]

Picked up a 3080 Ti for $400 on eBay the other day. Why pay 50% more for the 4070 Super just for access to FG?

[@mVran]

Heloo there :). Just wabted to tell you than on the Helldivers 2 bit was an error. In the top left corner on msi afterburner i states rx 6900xt not 3080ti. Great video tho. :)
