[CHEFPKR]

Can't wait to not be able to find this either.

[Citrussek]

"At significantly lower price!"
Nvidia: Yeah... about that...

[jacobthecreator]

"At a much lower price"
Retails for $1199

[MusicForHourss]

I am the only one that still thinks paying more then 500 dollars on a graphics card is insane?

[primalfear]

Ah.... the tone difference, compared with Gamers Nexus is almost amusing to contrast the 2 reviews :p

[nosranro]

for 70% more money, you get 10% performance increase.

[Caphalem]

Let's talk about price without knowing the price. That's a good idea!

[pogtuber]

This is a very strange conclusion compared to everyone else's conclusion, which is... this is a waste of money for the performance gain. edit: To be clear I don't think Linus is a shill, I think he's coming at this from a different perspective, it's just strange to see him go from criticizing nVidia cash grabs with the crypto cards and then ignoring that in this analysis.

[TekMerc]

GNSteve: Waste of money
Linus: It's a winner!

Hrmm, who to believe.

[AthosJosue]

This sounds more like an Ad than anything else.

[nedkelly]

Let’s be clear, this is not a review it’s an advert. A little disappointing but not unexpected 😔

[zwiebl]

Linus: 3080ti is a winner
Steve: waste of time and money

[mnk]

GTX 1080ti = 1080 + 35%
RTX 3080ti = 3080 + 5%
1/7 of the increase in preformance for 6 times the increase in price

[dawkosvk]

Every other reviewer "DONT BUY THIS, WASTE OF MONEY" meanwhile at LTT "NO BRAINER"

[Ristogod]

At least Steve's review was honest.

[QuiteLunacy]

"This is Nvidia's apology or No brainer buy even at $1200" Bro what? Amping up this card before you knew the actual price of it and STILL posting it even with the small update mid video? Not too sure about this one, Linus.

[cynic]

HOW ARE YOU RECOMMENDING A 7% GPU INCREASE FOR A 70% PRICE INCREASE?

[Rumi_]

"This video was shot before Nvidia revealed the msrp"

Yeah....oof.

[deadbzeus]

It's disappointing how out of touch LTT has become, this was one of the of tech channels

[darthku]

10% uplift + 2gb of vram = 70% uplift in price above the 3080 non Ti. Yah' that makes sense sounds like a good deal. WTF Linus?
