It's their new budget brand, hence only $1,500...

Holy expensive for not very much extra performance over the 3080. Yes, at 4k its a decent boost, but nowhere near double the performance to go with double the price.

hi Wizz just a question did you add any info for MS Flight Simulator? If not why?

The game is currently very poorly optimized and extremely CPU limited that's why @W1zzard doesn't test it. He said once D3D12 renderer is released he might reconsider.

This is why I enjoy TPU. Honest, informative responses with no rancor.

I can see it has certain use cases for rendering and such but gaming aint it and certainly not for $3500NZD nope noway hozay

Also MS has recently come out saying they know it runs like shit but we're working on a performance patch which will hopefully fix most of the perf issues

same here. 970windforce 1080G1.. wont gonna buy 3080 from Gigabyte..I dont like aesthetic neither

I can imagine Nvidia sitting in the shadows watching to see who would be dumb enough to purchase something this is barely faster than the 3080. Unfortunately many will jump on it.

I have to agree here. Gigabyte is not showing off a good looking card here.

Those power connectors are certainly interesting. I'm assuming they're the same on the 3080. That said, shame you can't water cool it unless you can get custom adapters. Now THAT would be awesome.

what thickness is the thermal pad?

 

[W1zzard]

Dunno, maybe 1 or 2 mm .. should be fine either way, because it gets compressed, so better buy thicker than too thin
