I guess I'm extremely biased, but that was probably the best CEO presentation of this kind that I've ever seen.
Technical detail and some background, sizzle reels, games, specs and prices, and in 40 minutes.

If you target unlocked framerates with a high refresh rate display: yes.
It depends at what framerate you want to play and how CPU intensive is the game.
I currently have a 144hz gsync enabled monitor. I don't really cap my framerate anywhere.
Also, whats the power gap between the GTX 1080 and RTX 3080?
Yeah thought it was quite a presentation. 3070 price does seem nice. One day I want to build a super small computer and think a 3070 would go nicely.

Where's that from? I can't get a store page.
Eh. Could be worse.
Yeah, curious about that. I wonder if any (air cooled) AIB will actually be better than the FE 3090.

Since a large part of the potential performance uplift comes from a very non-traditional method (superscalar FP32) it will likely greatly differ per game. The baseline should be ~20% but it could in theory go up to ~50% in games which benefit a lot from that shader layout.
get an itx case for your compute itself and then a mitx case for the gpu itselfWell just need to get a case that could work with it but still be small.
Log into your local nvidia.com web page and add "/geforce/graphics-cards/30-series/" to the link. For example, my local page is this

Is Nvidia lying about a theoretical 30 tflops peak? Or is the max theoretical simply a software pipe dream, like multi threading in the early 90s?

I just looked up my case specs...
It's just not likely that all shaders in existing and older games have sufficient FP32 parallelism to make full use of it.
It's very similar to the dedicated INT path in Turing: in some games (non-RT), it's only slightly faster per core and clock compared to Pascal, while in e.g. Doom Eternal the difference is very significant. And there's a full range of outcomes between the extremes.
Hmm.
Neither. It's the theoretical peak, and you'll likely get as close to reaching it as you get to any other HW theoretical peak with software that takes full advantage of it.

As a 2080 Ti owner who is not really cost limited for any of these new models, I think I will have to go for the 3090 to get a notable bump in most games, but I am a bit jealous of people who stuck to reasonably priced past models and can now get such a good deal on the 3080.
A bit annoying that the 3080 is right in my budget, but I don't feel comfortable replacing a 2-week old PSU.
Oh well, unless reviews clearly show that 650W are enough (but why would it? official specs talk about 750W), with the savings I'll buy an m.2.

There is a big price gap between 3080 and 3090. Jensen made it sound like 3090 is more of a Titan level class, just renamed.
I wonder if there will be a 3080Ti for 999€ - 1199€.
Maybe I should wait an extra month or two, it's not like a 2080Ti is going to run out of air tomorrow.
Decisions, decisions.

I swear, if I win the lottery jackpot I'm going to buy everybody posting in this thread today a 3090.sooooo ... anyone want to sponsor a 3090 for me?
Hype intensifies.
Hey, it's me. Your brother.
Nvidia IO also RIP the PS5 ssd thing, I think.
