My feeling is this; Should you go with an 3080 or wait for AMD's 6800/6800 XT/6900 XT?...

TBH my eagerness to buy next gen Gcard has waned so I can wait till the new year.

It depends on too many factors I think.

If you're happy with the 3080's performance and price, the 3080 will be an excellent card. If the product is what you're looking for, why wait for anything else? Nvidia generally make incredible products that perform as they should. They have a wide array of software features, some of which are essential for some, and hardware support for advanced graphics like DLSS and ray-tracing. I struggled to recommend anyone buy a Turing GPU because they were all so expensive, but the 3080 is a good product.

But if you've waited this long already, why not wait another few weeks? If you missed the boat on the 3080 and feel like you want something with more VRAM and more scaleability, why not wait a little longer? Radeon should have comparable products and be very competitive. For many, they'll offer a genuine alternative for the majority of gamers out there. It's a safe bet to wait. With all that has been shown so far, RDNA2 is not going to be a repeat of Fiji or Vega. And it will offer enthusiast-grade parts, unlike RDNA1 and Polaris.

..that they'll all be sold out in less than 5 seconds and either way, 6800 or 3080, you ain't getting one until 2021

It's still fun to see competition in the market place, even if people have to continue using their older cards for another couple of months. Besides, I don't think stock is going to be as bad as it was the last month. It's naturally going to improve because now you have two manufacturers in the same space, and you have Ampere production improving. If Ampere is still at very low production rates, that's pretty bad for Nvidia. But I'd wager it's improved over the last two months.

the ones who buy theses 30xx now will be the upset when the "enhanced" versions come out.


it´s pretty clear nvidia will update the lineup in 2 month.
