Seriously, those that cannot wait can really grab them now. Price for a new 1080ti had never been cheaper. Sub 3k for 1080ti never happened before.

which rumors?

new gen come out or current gen cut price? 

wtf  rtx 2080ti is  1199 at nvidia website rip wallet .

It might work. Not recommended though.

there are 2x(6+2) pin and 3x(6+2) pin 3080…so it's possible.

pcie = 75w max
6pin = 75w max
6+2pin = 150w max

it might not work as intended, better follow NVidia's guildlines

no no no…that's the standard for the cable.
max load of the particular cable can take.

no manufacturer will design to draw max current from the cable la.

for the 3080 which has 2x (6+2) pin
so pcie+(6+2)+(6+2)=75+150+150=375watt
if nvidia official website indicate the tdp of 3080 = 320watt

so it draws about 85% from the maximum the cable can sustain.

if the 3080 has 3x (6+2) pin…it's mostly designed for overclock purpose.

so pcie+(6+2)+(6+2)+(6+2)=75+150+150+150=525watt

if draw 85% power from it…it around 446watt…the number that u mentioned 479watt is possible when factor in transient too.
