The 3080 is '2x faster than the RTX 2080', which was roughly on par with a 1080TI (it had advantages, of course, RTX among them).
3 Generations newer with only a 2x speedup feels like a much smaller leap than the prior generations.
- ebg13 6y agoI missed a step here. How is the 3080 3 generations newer than either the 2080 or the 1080Ti?
- mmanfrin 6y ago1080ti -> 20xx -> 20xx ti -> 30xx There were also the 16xx cards. I'm being downvoted for this. 10xx 16xx 20xx 30xx That's 3 gens difference.
- ebg13 6y agoAh. It seems unreasonable to me to consider the 2080 and 2080Ti as different generations when they were released at the same time. Also I think we should factor that the 3080 at $700 costs _half_ what I paid for a 2080Ti in December (The ASUS RoG Strix, a premium 3-fan model, was going for like $1400 before it was discontinued). By NVidia prices, the 3090 is the true price successor to the 2080Ti.
- mmanfrin 6y agoYou're right, I shouldn't likely be distinguishing the Ti series (although it is usually a 'toc' generation, like the just announced gen, as Ti variants were not announced). But that does leave the 16xx generation which was released wholly on its own, in its own year.
- phonypc 6y ago16xx series is just lower end 20xx.
- berryjerry 6y agoI thought only the RTX was twice as fast, which no one really uses still.
- mmanfrin 6y agoIf that's the case, then this is an even smaller leap.
