The only worth it card is the one that you can buy now

its 1440p and 4k as well, check the review?
the 3070 across all other witcher 3 samples performed within error margin differences of the 2080ti, I'm sure Hilbert will correspond with other reviewers to compare settings and location and then start poking at it.

You should just not post if you don't have anything informative or true to post.

It has been an enigma but we have now updated the Witcher III charts; the initial test results showed a performance that was odd. After reinstalling the game and applying the original configuration, the performance normalized. From the looks of things a configuration error somehow kicked in, which now is taking properly.

Your results for the 3080 and 3090 are low too so whatever the issue seems to have been there for some time 🙁
The 3070 snapping at its heels only makes it more obvious now the numbers are up.
Actually: What it seems like is that hairworks was stuck on? the framerates recorded are definitely corresponding to such a case looking through a few different 3080 videos.

TPU recorded 174 FPS for 3080 and 190 FPS for 3090 @ 1440p with hairworks off, and then 108 and 119 at 4k, to your 90 and 102.

Double-checking all Ampere cards is on my to-do list for this title. And yes, I think hairworks was stuck being 'on' despite being configured as off.

Good.
The review is now even better 😀

And here I am, yet again whinning about VRAM.

You are not alone.

Nice to see you found out what was wrong with The witcher 3 🙂
That looks much better

I skipped quickly over a few reviews and the perfs drop hard in 1440 and 4k on some titles seems to me like a 1080p card (no disrespect I play on an old asus 120Hz 1080p)
edit : compared to a 3080 I mean ! not saying perfs are awful just that there is a substantial difference between a 3070 and 3080 at 1440+ if I was aiming for 1440p, widescreen etc..I'll wait for availability of a higher card not like we don't have 3-6 months before we actually see one :P (save us AMD!)

I got an Msi RTX 3070 GAMING X TRIO on pre-order, be damned if im paying the scalpers £800+ for the fe version, scan expect therm in around the 30 November, the 6800xt looked good but the 3070 just piped it to the post for the games i play.

Here's me looking at my four years old GTX 1080 which has 8 GB of GDDR5X...
Four years later, nVidia is selling... 8 GB card, while they must have known that AMD will release stuff with 16 GB !??
Or maybe they were completely blind and didn't know, while it was rumored for months already that they'll have 12 to 16 GB !
While 3080 is ... well, let's say "barely adequate", this 3070 is completely DOA.
Nobody in their right mind* would buy it when the competition's card has double the memory and is 15-20% faster for just slightly higher MRSP.
In actual market prices, there's a good chance 6800 will be cheaper !

Just checked the store i bought my 3090 from:
There's only one 3070 at 550euros(zotac gaming), all the others (31 other models) are 650-820euros, 704.365 euros being the average price.
"2080-ti at half the price" - Right

Hilbert has updated the 3090 and 3080 numbers for Witcher 3 just if anyone was wondering, the fixed numbers are reflected on the pages for the custom AIB card reviews as well.

@PrMinisterGR @Undying why? @ GB. it's not like the 1080ti or 2080ti perform better. in two years time there will be more powerful cards. I'll never understand this VRAM obession
Undying
2080ti does perform better than 3070 where you need more than 8gb vram like that example in doom eternal. If you reduce the texture quality 3070 pulls ahead.
Supertribble
The VRAM issue is a concern for people who play at 4K but admittedly there are only a few games where, as of right now, it is a problem with 8GB cards. I think the real concern here is VRAM requirements are only going to get higher going forward, and if you play at UHD and are considering buying a new card as an investment for the next 3+ years 8GB will become a problem.

Yeah, 3070 isn't very good value in the UK either, they're about £529-£679, so I'm pleased I got my preorder in for a TUF 3080 for £700 already!

Oh boy, this card will not age well...
