If the claw-hammer performance of the RTX 3080 isn't enough for you, you crazy person, then maybe the RTX 3090 in MSI Gaming X Trio format will be the card to sate your desires.
MSI RTX 3090 Gaming X Trio Review

So this replaces the Titan RTX... without some of the features that Titan cards have been known for. And the 3080 replaces the 2080Ti, but has less VRAM.
AMD really have a chance to steal some market share from Nvidia.
I think the 10xx users have a fantastic deal on their hands which ever way they go
3080 <-- --> 3090
but for 20xx, im not so sure. It goes back to the usual skip every other generation way of upgrading. Who knows though, more products will come. Now ill happily wait for AMD Big NaaaVEEEE

do feel a bit bit mislead that this was gonna as badass a gaming card (shown with the 8k 60fps showcase) as it is a rendering card.
Although i do have the money to get a 3090, i cant rationalise the cost from a gaming standpoint
We all know there will be a 3080S/Ti at some point, but I get the feeling the 3080 might not be Nvidia's flagship as long as 3080 owners might have liked (a complete guess would be by march 21)
As a 1080ti owner, im in the market for an upgrade and I want to be ready to rock n roll with a 3000 card for Cyberpunk (availablilty pending), so from a selfish point, i dont want a 3080S/Ti "too" soon if i go 3080.
my "dilema" is should i get a 3090 as a "safeguard purchase" so i know it wont be surpassed? (or there will be less chance of seeing 3090S/Ti than a 3080S/Ti)?
I'd go for the 3080 or AMDs cards, I think it's best to just not worry if a card is iterated upon, new marginal upgrade cards coming out should only really be of concern to those who haven't upgraded for a while, at the end of the day they don't make your current card any slower, and the gains you'd get from an upgrade like these ones expected are going to be in the 4-8% range.
If you want a new GPU for Cyberpunk? Go for it imo, if you really like the game and smash it on launch you could end up putting more hours into gaming on your GPU in those few months than you spend on it for most of next year. The true value is in the experiences it gives you, personally. Those waiting 6 months *might*, maybe, get ~8% more for their money, but in your position, I assume playing the Cyberpunk storyline for the first time how it was meant to be played would be worth far more than that? idk, horses for courses.
If what's out there is correct the 3070 being 2080 performance, than it's not a big enough jump to upgrade my card, the 3080 for 1440 is double the fps so would be a nice upgrade but the difference between that and the 3090 i'd be hard to justify £250 over the 3080.
With your analogy with cars what card does the ford cortina driver get?
3070 matches a 2080 Ti not a 2080.
