Overall 3070 performance at 499$.
Sometimes I expect the bigger memory bus of the 2080 TI allows the 2080 TI to stay a bit ahead, but most times the new architecture and clocks allow it to overcome it.
Not something unexpected.
This is definitely going to give AMD something to worry about. Especially with the rumors of nvidia already ready up a TI version.
Now it will only come down the stock.

At 4K, I have to agree. But at 1440p/1080, this card seems like a real winner. Even with "just" 8GB.
Depends on the game.
Most games it average well above 60fps at 4K. So if you play those games, you don't need to buy a 800$ GPU.
It will be good for 4K/60fps or 1440p/120fps monitors.

So being that it has near identical performance to the prior $1200 card which was pushed as the only 4k option now the 3070 isn't a 4k card? It's perfectly capable, just gimped by the low Vram when we are about to hit 2021. Yea, some titles it will get by, but with the new gen hitting and games only getting more vram hungry it's not $500 well spent IMO.
At 1080p, sure I could justify it. But personally not 1440p or higher. Then again, I've been tainted by being on a 4k monitor for about 6 years now so Vram has always been a priority for me.
Same old song and dance though, Nvidia will come out with the proper version once they see AMD's hand. I'm just glad the prices are more reasonable this gen despite the *70 cards previously being in the $400 realm.

Soooooooooo were you not around before the 10-series, or...?
One upon a time, even Dual-GPU cards cost $500.
The Fermi comparisons just keep lining up.
EDIT: Would be funny if Big Navi pulled an HD5000.

You do realize the Xbox series x and ps5 exist right?

Yea, I'm really hoping that reoccurs. I missed out on that gen of pc hardware as I was still rocking an Athlon 64 X2 4200+, 2gb DDR400 and a AGP x1950 pro back then (oof but money was tight).
I'm hoping to potentially sell my Radeon VII and pick up either a 16gb 3070 or Big Navi at this point. Really hoping AMD undercuts them hard, has similar performance but is more efficient at the same time while offering 16gb at least.
I'm not sure future gen games will require as much as you think.
Especially with the xbox/ps leading the development consistently for years in terms of memory use. I expect 10GB is going to be the real need for the future at max. Anything above it will most likely be either a waste or for show. So 8GB for mid range cards will is a decent choice for nvidia to target the card's position. It will be more than enough for people who want 4K performance at a decent price.

And the real winners are those who acted quickly and bought 2080 Ti's for 500 bucks from the panicked sellers. They basically got a 3070 with 11 GB VRAM and more overclocking headroom.
True, but they will miss out on the superior RT and DLSS performance.
On the other hand, they will have a card now. Who knows with current stocks...

Fair enough, however, DLSS and RT losses are not that big of a deal anyway. Not yet, at least.
I love the idea of RT and I'm interested and still learning about DLSS, but I really don't think they're going to be must have features this gen. Maybe when the RTX 4000 / Radeon 7000 cards hit, but not yet. Another 18 months at least before these are must have features, and I believe 18 months is generous.

What? Leather Jacket Man said it beat the 2080 Ti. Not matched or was slower. Oh well guess we can call that similar to a "Jensen 2X" with the 3080.
Anyway, there's some cognitive dissonance if one is going to repeatedly compare this card to a 2080 Ti and then say it's not a 4k card. If it's not a 4k card, then stop comparing it to what was a 4k card and calling it "faster".
Have to agree with others. A 16GB variant will be the real winner here. 8GB x70 class card is so 2016 and as we enter new console era, really kinda unacceptable at $500 for this card in my opinion. And this one doesn't have the excuse of GDDR6X like the 3080 does.

As much as the hype may want you to trigger (or attempt to F5 your keyboard tomorrow) for a purchase, be aware Big Navi will be announced tomorrow.
We have an upcoming RTX 3060 Ti + 3070 Ti rumour and RDNA 2 all happening at the same time. Be patient
The only perk is that there is little risk if you do purchase a 3070 tomorrow. As you can probably sell it back quickly for full cost if another product comes out that addresses "your" needs better (i.e. cost / performance etc.)
