I was thinking that too, GPU these day have thermal protections to prevent these sort of stuff unless somehow the software is circumventing these protection. This issue reminds me of Starcraft II all over again though this time is seems to be only affecting EVGA cards.
We don't even know if 3080 Ti is a thing, but given a price gap between 700 for the 3080 and 1500 for the 3090, it does make some sense to have a product and a price that is between 3080 and 3090.
If it wasn't for the last minute price drop, 5700XT adoption rate would be much lower as it is price too close to the 2070S, but at $100 less, it is good buy.
I assume it is going to be closer to 3080 than a 3070, depending how AMD will price it, it can still be competitive. If anything, AMD finally have a card that is viable 4K 60+ FPS. I do think the bigger depressing information is how late AIB partners are.
I am surprised Intel didn't pull this move earlier for their latest and greatest architecture. I get it that TSMC wouldn't able to fulfill all of existing Intel orders but at least they able to use their latest process nodes for their highest margin products and also give AMD less fab capacity...
Talk about good timing on the announcement, was about to get the Morpheus II and ghetto mod it to fit the 2080ti, but now I can just wait for this to release.
It is big improvement coming from Intel, considering Iris Plus barely runs on low preset for 1080p. It puts Intel at least near parity with AMD with the Vega APUs until AMD moves away from Vega APUs.
Not much budget options for AMD users who doesn't want to spend a lot. Will probably see a lot of folks going for the ASRock B550M-HDV as that is the cheapest option.
