NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 AotS Benchmarks Surface—Trades Blows with RTX 2080 Ti
Ashes of the Singularity (AotS) Benchmark numbers for the upcoming GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card surfaced, strengthening NVIDIA's performance claims for the card being "faster" than the previous generation flagship, the RTX 2080 Ti. According to the benchmark numbers dug out by _rogame and compiled by VideoCardz, the RTX 3070 ends up being 1% faster than the RTX 2080 Ti at 1080p with the "Crazy" preset. This lead extends to 2.3% at 1440p, albeit with a custom preset of which details aren't known.
At 4K UHD with the "Crazy" preset, however, the RTX 3070 ends up about 2.4% slower than the RTX 2080 Ti. These numbers suggest that the RTX 3070 should still be a formidable 4K UHD gaming option, with moderate RTX effects. It should allow you to game at 1440p with RTX maxed out; and should enable 1080p high refresh-rate AAA gaming; but for those seeking 4K UHD with RTX maxed out, the RTX 3080 should be the one to buy. Then again, AMD's Radeon RX 6000 series is just around the corner, and could take a swing at this segment, with a full DirectX 12 Ultimate feature-set, and plenty of muscle.

Or, AMD will just copy nVidia's pricing and we'll be fucked by both.

Once new stock arrives, prices will be updated and I can tell you there will be no $700 cards listed.
Just because a product is sold out, doesn't mean you can't find somewhere to order one at MSRP and get yours in turn.
I don't encourage anyone to buy products with inflated prices.
Beyond the stupid prices, the 3080 is overpriced even at 700$, the 1070 was faster and had more memory than the 980ti for less than 400$, what's weird is no so called reviewers are talking about it, some are even falling for nVidia marketing (or are being paid) by comparing Ampere prices to Turing.
$700 (msrp)flagship and a pricey t8tan/crossover card has been the norm for the past couple of generations, no?
The RAM 'issue' was DOA for those in the know as well.
3080: 700$ + 25% VAT is 875$ = 737€. And you cant find any (preorder) for less than 1000€.
Well done nVidia!!
