I preordered a rtx 3090 asus ek edition from shopblt last year, moving ETA is now end of august, might just cancel and wait it out for the 4000 series announcements. I did upgrade my laptop though and splurged for the rtx 3080 16gb edition OLED (razer 15 advanced), and have been very happy with...
I will say one of the downsides of 8k for desktop / photo / video work is you instantly see how low res a 24mp 6k photo sensor is. With that being said 8k raw video off an EOS R5 looks outstanding on it.
Ordered one of these new sabrent usb-c to hdmi 2.1 adapters and can confirm it works at 8k60 8bit rgb out of the usb-c port on my zotac 2080ti. Figured i'd post a heads up on it since previously the only other option was the club 3d adapter that needs external power and is very glitchy...

In Resolve, for things that actually make use of the GPU, dual 2080 ti's beat a single 3080/3090, also much cheaper to buy a 2nd used 2080ti than the 3000 series right now, too bad they dont have hdmi 2.1...
I got the TRX40 designare and built it dec 2019, aside from never using the extra m.2 card expansion thing it has been excellent.
Watercooled mine with ek revo dual d5 pumps, 2x PE360 and 1x XE360, all with noctua fans in an 011 dynamic xl. The 2080 ti never goes above 45c and the cpu is...
Same, I'll just be sitting in this queue until they actually start shipping cards in bigger numbers.

At least with that one I'm not spending extra for a block and backplate.
2080 ti's with water blocks installed are cheaper on ebay than that 3070, hopefully the price of the 2080 ti's go up so I can unload mine for more if/when BLT ships out the 3090s. Those of you going from 2080 ti's to the 3000 series, are you selling your old cards or keeping them installed in...
Planned on getting a 3090 but the miners ruined that for me, when they are available again at retail msrp I'll get one. On an ek watercooled zotac 2080ti, using the club3d displayport 1.4 to hdmi 2.1 adapter. The adapter doesn't always work right though and needs lots of power cycles to reset...
I just switched to an 8k monitor for my desktop with the clearance going on with the 2020 samsungs (65 q800t). Switched from a 4K 55 OLED, ended up going for a 65 since the pixel density would be a bit high for a 55. Its crazy sharp and really nice for photo editing (my main camera is 47mp so...
