Assume all the 3rd party sellers are scalping. If it's not being sold by the actual retailer (e.g. Amazon selling on Amazon.com or Newegg selling on Newegg.com) then you should treat the product as sold out and wait.Below is the compilation of all the reviews that have been posted so far. I will be updating this continuously throughout the day with the conclusion of each publications and any new review links. This will be sorted alphabetically.Written ArticlesAnandtech - No Anandtech review today. Will be added next weekArstechnicaInstead, I'm confident in saying that the $699 RTX 3080 has handily dethroned the GTX 1080 Ti as the market's best expensive-but-attainable GPU. Its specific performance profile, achieved with serious hunger (320W) and a large-but-not-epic pool of RAM (10GB, albeit in the efficient GDDR6X profile), will let you rip and tear in 4K resolutions and in high-performing VR scenarios without requiring buy-in from game developers to toggle Nvidia's proprietary systems. BabeltechreviewsWe are impressed with the Founders Edition of the RTX 3080 which has exceptional performance at Ultra 4K and at 2560×1440. For now, it stands alone as the fastest video card in the world and it has launched at $699 – the same price the RTX 2080 SUPER FE launched at, and $100 less expensive than the RTX 2080 at launch – and much less expensive compared to the $1199 RTX 2080 Ti FE which launched two years ago. Digital Foundry ArticleDigital Foundry VideoThe RTX 3080 is an important product. For two years now, the pinnacle of PC graphics technology has been defined by the Turing-based RTX 2080 Ti. It's fast, very fast. It's so fast in fact, that there's a strong argument that any resolutions below ultra HD or high resolution ultrawide won't see the GPU horsepower fully utilised on anything other than the fastest gaming CPU. And yet the RTX 3080 takes everything to the next level - you're looking at an average range of 65 to 80 per cent more performance up against 2080, and around 24 to 37 per cent more grunt than 2080 Ti. With ray tracing factored into the equation, the boosts can be even more significant. Guru3DWe feel it is safe to say that it's been worth the wait. Ampere as an architecture is nothing short of impressive. Combined with hyper-fast GDDR6X memory and a radical new cooling design, a new trend is set, as this product is seriously competing with the board partner cards. I mean, all registers are green, including rendering performance, cooling, and acoustic performance as well as the simple yet so crucial aesthetic feel. I do worry a little about the open fin structure versus dust. Next to that, you are going to yearn for a dedicated 12-pin power connector leading from the PSU and there is some coil whine going on. Of course, overall power consumption has increased really significantly. How important these things are to you, is for you to decide. The flipside of the coin is that you'll receive a product that will be dominant in that Ultra HD space. Your games average out anywhere from 60 to 100+ FPS, well, aside from Flight Simulator 2020 :) HexusNvidia latest Ampere architecture arrives in consumer graphics card space as the GeForce RTX 30-series GPUs. Initially comprised the RTX 3070, RTX 3080 and RTX 3090, debuting at different times over the course of the next month, they are primed to set new benchmark standards at the premium end of the market. Hot HardwareSummarizing the new GeForce RTX 3080's performance is as simple as could be -- it is the fastest GPU we have tested to date, across the board, period. Regardless of the game, application, or benchmark we used, the GeForce RTX 3080 put up the best scores of the bunch, often more than doubling the performance of AMD's current flagship Radeon RX 5700 XT. Despite its much lower introductory price, the GeForce RTX 3080 even skunked the Titan RTX and GeForce RTX 2080 Ti by relatively large margins. The bottom line is, NVIDIA's got an absolutely stellar-performing GPU on its hands, and the GeForce RTX 3080 isn't even the best Ampere has to offer -- the upcoming GeForce RTX 3090 is bigger and burlier across the board. Igor's LabIt should not be an advertising sales event, but a test that is as objective and fair as possible, even if the results are still so solid that you have to fight a bit with the “want to have” factor in the gaming sector. Especially at higher resolutions, this card is a real board, because even if the lead over the GeForce RTX 2080 Super doesn’t always turn out to be in high double digits, it’s always enough to virtually reach the next quality level in playability. Right stop of many quality controllers included. Particularly if the games of the GeForce RTX 3080 and the new architecture lie, are also sometimes up to 80% increase compared to the RTX 2080 super in it and a RTX 2080 Ti is beaten with almost 40%. This too must be noted if one wants to be fair. But it is only the beginning and not generally enforceable with the game engines, unfortunately. KitGuru ArticleKitGuru VideoThere’s no two ways about it. Nvidia’s RTX 3080 is a stunning return to form for the manufacturer, delivering hugely impressive gen-on-gen gains compared to the RTX 20-series that debuted two years ago. The 3080 is the fastest graphics card we have ever tested (though the RTX 3090 will have something to say about that next week), and it is delivered at almost half the price of last generation’s flagship, the RTX 2080 Ti. OC3DThe performance of Nvidia's RTX 3080 is unquestionably impressive. Even making allowances for the fact that a few of our games get a bit grumpy about both ray tracing and DLSS in various combinations, preferring an everything on or everything off approach (it is true for pre-DLSS 2.0 titles). Another factor that's worth considering is that Nvidia's current pre-release drivers are missing some elements that allow us to overclock things properly. Regardless, the amount of performance available from the card in a simple plug-and-go form is so great that anyone who has recently purchased any of the RTX 2xxx cards will be left green with envy. PC PerspectiveNVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition is the fastest graphics card I’ve ever tested, and it’s an amazing product for the money. Now, actually buying one for $699 might require devine intervention, but we don’t really know until they go on sale. PC WorldNvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that Ampere is GeForce’s greatest generational leap ever, and he wasn’t kidding. Remember being blown away when the GTX 1080 was 60 to 70 percent faster than the GTX 980, even with its slightly higher price? The GeForce RTX 3080 spits out frames up to 80 percent faster in several games, and 60 percent higher in the others. It’s roughly 30 percent faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, the $1,200 previous-gen flagship, and a ridonkulous 100 to 160 percent faster than the older GeForce GTX 1080. All at the exact same $700 price tag as the RTX 2080. TechGageAs we saw across most of these results, the performance gains seen with the new generation Ampere GeForces is simply incredible. There’s no other way to say it. The strong performance seen because of the RT cores makes AMD’s next move an important one. We’ve already known for ages that the new consoles all use ray tracing, and those are of course built with AMD Radeon GPUs. How that will all carry over to the desktop, we’re not sure, but we will gain a better understanding in late October when AMD makes its RDNA2 “Big Navi” announcement. TechpowerupAveraged over our whole benchmarking suite, at 4K resolution, the GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition is 66% faster than the RTX 2080 that it replaces (both launched at $699). NVIDIA's new card even beats last generation's flagship the RTX 2080 Ti, by a whopping 31%! AMD's Radeon RX 5700 XT is half as fast as the RTX 3080. Yup, 3080 is +100% 5700 XT performance—AMD better get things right with RDNA2. If you've held out on a GTX 1080 Ti until now, congrats, now is the right time to upgrade. RTX 3080 Ti will double your FPS, and give you all the latest techs and features like raytracing and DLSS. The FPS ReviewCompared to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti at 1440p the GeForce RTX 3080 FE averages an increase in performance of 20% over the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FE. The Far Cry 5 and FS 2020 numbers bring that average down a lot, if we remove those two then the average is 24%. At 4K the GeForce RTX 3080 FE averages 25% faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FE. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FE video card was a $1200 video card, now for $500 less at $699 you can have performance that is 20-25% faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FE, for less money. That is advancement, again, all without including Ray Tracing or DLSS into the mix, pure rasterization. TomshardwareThe GeForce RTX 3080 is here, right now, and priced pretty reasonably considering the performance it offers. Last month, you could have spent $2,500 on dual RTX 2080 Ti cards hooked up via NVLink, only to find that multi-GPU support in games is largely dead, particularly in new releases. Now, for $700, you get 30% better performance than the outgoing RTX 2080 Ti and pocket $500 in savings. That's assuming you can find an RTX 3080 in stock.

Use Apps to Customize Your Piano Playing with Ease!Plan to learn a musical instrument? There are multiple reasons why you should choose piano. According to studies, playing the piano reduces stress and anxiety, improves hand-eye coordination, and even boosts self-esteem. Apart from these benefits, during the Covid-19 pandemic, playing your favorite songs on the piano can be soothing.With the aid of technology, the ways of learning, teaching, and playing the piano are no longer limited. Piano teachers and students can choose to use a variety of piano apps according to their individual needs. Search for the word “piano” in your App Store or Google Play Store, and then you will be shocked at how many options there are. But which ones are the most recommended piano apps? Keep reading, and you will find the answers. https://preview.redd.it/9dsjv2xrg0g61.png?width=880&format=png&auto=webp&s=c2029589330f1c4f35e119f596a5c9a6d2bee881 ViolyNo matter what you need to do with a piano app, almost all your needs can be satisfied when you use Violy App.Teach Piano Lessons VirtuallyDue to the quarantine, many piano classes were brought online. For piano teachers, it can be annoying to tolerate the unsatisfactory audio quality for the instrument during remote classes. But with Violy App, the unpleasant moment can be entirely avoided.In Violy’s “Students” page, piano teachers are allowed to set up their own virtual music classroom. In this page, piano teachers can use “Live Class”, the video call feature, to call their piano students directly and conduct remote piano lessons. The specially optimized, high-definition audio and video transmission makes it possible for all participants of the classes to hear each single layer no matter how complicated the chords or ensembles are. https://preview.redd.it/mctwzz96h0g61.png?width=1400&format=png&auto=webp&s=dcdd8ffdd261e54b51ea96ce09497420ac6d6222 A smart timetable is necessary for piano teachers who have a large number of students, and Violy’s “Classroom” feature can play the role. With this feature, the teachers are able to schedule each piano class and get every participant notified automatically, which helps relieve the music educators from the repetitive work of reminding every piano student of the time for classes. Considering the current situation of the pandemic, remote music teaching may be the norm for a long time to come. As a smart music classroom, Violy links music teachers and students together, and contributes to better development of online music education. A Piano App Tailor-made for All Piano StudentsPiano playing requires complicated and asymmetrical motions of both hands. Since about 90% of people are right-handed, for most piano beginners, training the left hand separately can be hard. Besides, piano teachers are not likely to follow up the students’ practice 24/7, but students need instant feedback to help them improve.Thanks to Violy, the problems mentioned above can be easily solved. The “Smart Audition” feature statistically analyzes each piano student’s playing and witnesses every sign of progress. The players can choose to be auditioned on one hand or both hands. For those who are eager to practice left hand skills, this feature is a great help. https://reddit.com/link/lengcm/video/c8npke3uh0g61/player A “Smart Audition” can be initiated by playing “C♯4 D♯4 F♯4” on the piano. Under the audition mode, the users’ performing is tracked and recorded. After playing, users can receive an in-depth analysis report presenting the overall score, the score for rhythm, notes which are misplayed and missed, etc.. What’s more, both teachers and students are allowed to review their piano practice homework anytime and anywhere. When it comes to a piano app, most piano students are likely to have expectations for the piano music included. As for Violy, its sheet music library “Music Cloud” can surprise you. https://preview.redd.it/epchme1ei0g61.png?width=1013&format=png&auto=webp&s=62daf948ba23a20fd75264a51822a2aaf9168146 Pianists at all levels can find the pieces they like in “Music Cloud”. With a large piano repertoire covering various categories, “Music Cloud” empowers you to listen to and play thousands of piano pieces at any tempo and volume. You can also annotate the sheet music. If you fail to find the sheet music you need, just visit the “Creator Studio” and you can upload the music scores to the app by yourself. Violy is available on both iOS and Android mobile devices. The app is FREE for all music teachers, and each new user can receive a FREE 7-day premium gift. Simply PianoSimply Piano was rated as one of the best iPhone apps of 2016.

Piano MaestroIf you are a piano beginner who need a piano app to help you learn while having fun, Piano Maestro is definitely your cup of tea. Like Simply Piano, this app is also developed by JoyTunes.Gamification of Piano LearningMost young piano learners are not self-motivated in their daily practice.

Play Bite-Sized Chunks of Piano Sheet Music and Master the Whole PieceGoals cannot be reached in one step. For piano players, it always takes some time to completely master a new piece. With Piano Maestro, the efficiency of the process can be enhanced.Before playing the whole song, learning comes first since you need to get familiar with the sheet music. Each song is divided into small sections under “Learn” mode in Piano Maestro. The mode just requires you to play the bite-sized chunks one by one. Every music note being played will be checked. Once there is a misplayed note, the cursor will pause until the note is corrected. https://preview.redd.it/vdx12wvhk0g61.png?width=1780&format=png&auto=webp&s=35f8e56b738a0247390b40103d943be92313745c When you are ready for the complete song, you can choose “Play” mode. Under this mode, you are able to play along with the backing tracks at the tempo you set, and receive a final score after the playing ends. Using the two modes interchangeably makes it easier for you to master the whole piece. If you do not have your acoustic piano at hand, “touch piano” is also supported on Piano Maestro.

Every musician may benefit from the experience of playing the piano. The challenges posed by the pandemic still remain.

Its RTX line of GPUs has separate components to handle the above fancy features—dedicated ray-tracing cores and dedicated "tensor" cores to handle ML-assisted computation. The way its ray-tracing cores work lines up neatly with industrywide standards like DXR, which means it's a drop in the programming budget to implement those in ways that will work on competitors' GPUs and on brand-new gaming consoles. And the tensor cores' upscaling methods line up neatly with TAA, a particularly common anti-aliasing standard that Nvidia's DLSS effectively piggybacks off. As of DLSS 2.0, the model does not require game-specific coding to work (though developers still have to partner with Nvidia to implement it). BabeltechreviewsThis has been a very enjoyable experience evaluating the new Ampere RTX 3070 versus the seven other cards we tested. The $499 RTX 3070 FE performed very well performance-wise compared to the RTX 2080 Ti FE – formerly the fastest gaming card in the world that released at $1199. The RTX 3070 at $499 is a solid upgrade from the GTX 1080 Ti that originally launched at $699 even though we were originally hesitant to recommend the upgrade to a RTX 2080 Ti two years ago based on its value to performance. Digital Foundry ArticleDigital Foundry VideoThe RTX 3070 is undoubtedly a terrific graphics card. It delivers performance in line with the RTX 2080 Ti at a very reasonable asking price of $500, lowering the cost of entry to high frame-rate 1440p and stable 4K gaming substantially. Moreover, the Founders Edition card we tested is cool, quiet and equipped with future-looking features, including a single HDMI 2.1 port that matches perfectly to next-gen 4K 120Hz HDR displays. Guru3DYes, I can make this short, out of the three RTX 30xx cards released right now, my untarnished favorite is the 3080. The 3090 super-sweet but out of my comfort zone price-wise. However, for most, so is the RTX 3080. And that then makes the RTX 3070 a far betteproper proposition money wise. If NVIDIA can get the stock allocation in order and prices remain/hover at the 500 USD marker, you'll retrieve a crapload of gaming performance for that amount of money. The most straightforward comparison is the mighty GeForce 2080 Ti (read that well Ti) performance. A few months ago, that card was (and still is) 1250 USD, you know. Unreachable for the vast majority of us commoner folk. HexusNvidia has had an interesting launch experience with GeForce RTX 30-series GPUs based on the all-new Ampere architecture. Hot HardwareWhen NVIDIA initially announced the GeForce RTX 3070, it made some bold claims regarding performance that got gamers and enthusiasts really excited for the card. 2080 Ti-like performance for about $500 would represent an incredibly strong value in light of the GeForce RTX 20-series’ price structure. And as you saw on the previous pages, NVIDIA delivered. Over and above the strong performance per dollar, however, the GeForce RTX 3070 also has a relatively small form factor, it runs cool and quiet, it’s an easy overclocker (albeit power limited), and it's energy efficient as well. The GeForce RTX 3070 ticks all of the right boxes. The only potential gotcha is the card’s 8GB of memory. For the vast majority of games available today, 8GB should be adequate with maximum image quality, even at high resolutions, but moving forward that 8GB of memory may require some image quality concessions to maintain smooth framerates. Igor's LabIn general, the GeForce RTX 3070 is an all-around success, because it is faster than a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, costs less than half the price and has become significantly more efficient. For a final assessment, including that of the market positioning, one will, however, have to wait for the launch of the new Radeon graphics cards. I already wrote that NVIDIA’s feature set ranges from the usual RTX components such as raytracing and DLSS 2.0, to various RTX software (video, voice) for the end user, to the entire studio and workstation applications. KitGuru ArticleKitGuru VideoWith the RTX 3070, Nvidia also saw fit to change the Founders Edition design. This card is about 40mm shorter compared to the RTX 3080, and has both its fans on the underside, instead of one on the topside of the card. As the RTX 3070 is significantly less power hungry than the RTX 3080, though, this new cooler is still more than good enough to tame the 220W Ampere GPU. Legit ReviewsThis is the new mid-range graphics card for NVIDIA and it looks like the performance numbers lived up to the hype. The GeForce RTX 3070 really does deliver GeForce RTX 2080 Ti-level performance at jus a fraction of the cost. It also does so while using less power and that helps the card run cooler and quieter. While the GeForce RTX 3070 trades blows with the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, it completely dominates that other cards in the GeForce RTX 20 series and all the cards in the GeForce GTX 10 series. This makes upgrading much easier if you are looking for a $499 graphics card as you will be getting a massive performance increase while snagging all the latest NVIDIA features. Some might have wanted to see more than 8GB of GDDR6 memory on the GeForce RTX 3070, but that shouldn’t be an issue on current game titles for 1440P gaming. If a game comes out in the future that needs more than 8GB for ultra image quality settings then the solution would be to just change the game settings. Not a huge deal and moving up to the RTX 3080 only gets you 10GB of GDDR6X. OC3DSo far our time with the Ampere GPUs has been one of jaws dropped, minds blown and wallets emptied. We hadn't long got used to the RTX 2080 Ti, and its class-leading performance before the RTX 3080 came along and gave you higher framerates than the Turing card and did so at a significantly lower price. The RTX 3090 was jaw-dropping in all sorts of other ways, and more akin to a Bugatti, being both insanely powerful but also not exactly affordable for the majority. If, however, even the RTX 3080 was above your budget, then the RTX 3070 is even better value for money. PC PerspectiveWhat we know right now, and by right now I mean October 27, 2020, is that NVIDIA has the GPU to buy at $499 with the RTX 3070 Founders Edition – if you can buy one. Availability – of course – will be a big part of this launch. But what AMD announces on October 28 will be another part of the story, and we only have leaks and rumors on the AMD front at this point. PC WorldTake AMD’s potential counterpunch out of the equation, though, and there’s no question that the $500 GeForce RTX 3070 is a fantastic graphics card. It’s remarkably faster than its direct RTX 2070 predecessor, delivers gaming performance effectively on a par with last generation’s $1,200 flagship (and much better creative rendering performance) while drawing less power, and runs very cool without getting too noisy. Nvidia’s Founders Edition design continues to rock my socks aesthetically too. I wish Nvidia included more memory capacity in the RTX 3070 for people wanting to play at 4K resolution, but other than that, there’s not much to complain about. The GeForce RTX 3070 will melt your face for a stunning $700 less than you used to have to pay for this level of performance. TechGage - Workstation Benchmarks!In the end, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3070 performs about where we’d expect it to, based on what we knew of the card before diving in. NVIDIA itself said that the RTX 3070 would match 2080 Ti, and in our gaming tests so far, we’ve found that to be largely the case (although we seem to see Ti pulling ahead more often than the opposite is true.) Again, we’ll have that performance in the days ahead, as we wrap up our testing (which will include 1440p, ultrawide, and 4K test resolutions.) TechpowerupNVIDIA has done it again—their new GeForce RTX 3070 is impressive, not only in terms of performance, but also pricing. Just a few weeks ago, we reviewed the GeForce RTX 3080, which finally makes 4K gaming work perfectly. Today, we have the RTX 3070 Founders Edition, which achieves the same for 1440p gamers. Every single title in our test suite exceeds 60 FPS now, and performance is improved so much that you get RTX 2070 "RTX Off" FPS with "RTX On". If you choose to enable DLSS with RTX, the RTX performance hit is basically nullified; in that case, and with games that don't support RTX, the GeForce RTX 3070 FE matches last generation's flagship, the RTX 2080 Ti, which retailed at over $1200 not too long ago. TechspotOverall, Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3070 is a great high-performance value product. Upcoming competition aside, in today’s market the RTX 3070 is as good as it gets in terms of cost per frame and even performance per watt. The FPS ReviewAt the end of the day, there are several things about the GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition that we like and see as positive for everyone. At $499 it is priced the same as the GeForce RTX 2070 FE and RTX 2070 SUPER FE. This means it is the direct upgrade path, from those last generation video cards. TomshardwareThe GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition is everything we expected. It's a lower power card with a smaller footprint, and it basically trades blows with the previous generation king of the hill, the RTX 2080 Ti. Two years later, and $500 now potentially gets you the same performance as the old $1,200 GPUs. If there's one constant in the world of GPUs, it's the ever-increasing performance at any given price point. But we're in the midst of a lot of GPU stuff, and without seeing what AMD's Big Navi brings to the table, it's impossible to give a final verdict for the RTX 3070.

I will be updating this continuously throughout the day with the conclusion of each publications and any new review links. This will be sorted alphabetically.Written ArticlesAnandtech - TBDArstechnica - TBDBabeltechreviewsNVIDIA says that the RTX 3080 is the gaming card and the RTX 3090 is the hybrid creative card – but we respectfully disagree. The RTX 3090 is the flagship gaming card that can also run intensive creative apps very well, especially by virtue of its huge 24GB framebuffer. But it is still not an RTX TITAN nor a Quadro. These cards cost a lot more and are optimized specifically for workstations and also for professional and creative apps. Digital Foundry ArticleDigital Foundry VideoSo there we have it. The RTX 3090 delivers - at best - 15 to 16 per cent more gaming performance than the RTX 3080. In terms of price vs performance, there is only one winner here. And suffice to say, we would expect to see factory overclocked RTX 3080 cards bite into the already fairly slender advantage delivered by Nvidia's new GPU king. Certainly in gaming terms then, the smart money would be spend on an RTX 3080, and if you're on a 1440p high refresh rate monitor and you're looking to maximise price vs performance, I'd urge you to look at the RTX 2080 Ti numbers in this review: if Nvidia's claims pan out, you'll be getting that and potentially more from the cheaper still RTX 3070. All of which raises the question - why make an RTX 3090 at all? Guru3DWhen we had our first experience with the GeForce RTX 3080, we were nothing short of impressed. Testing the GeForce RTX 3090 is yet another step up. But we're not sure if the 3090 is the better option though, as you'll need very stringent requirements in order for it to see a good performance benefit. Granted, and I have written this many times in the past with the Titans and the like, a graphics card like this is bound to run into bottlenecks much faster than your normal graphics cards. Three factors come into play here, CPU bottlenecks, low-resolution bottlenecks, and the actual game (API). The GeForce RTX 3090 is the kind of product that needs to be free from all three aforementioned factors. Thus, you need to have a spicy processor that can keep up with the card, you need lovely GPU bound games preferably with DX12 ASYNC compute and, of course, if you are not gaming at the very least in Ultra HD, then why even bother, right? The flipside of the coin is that when you have these three musketeers applied and in effect, well, then there is no card faster than the 3090, trust me; it's a freakfest of performance, but granted, also bitter-sweet when weighing all factors in. HexusThis commentary puts the RTX 3090 into a difficult spot. It's 10 percent faster for gaming yet costs over twice as much as the RTX 3080. Value for money is poor when examined from a gaming point of view. Part of that huge cost rests with the 24GB of GDDR6X memory that has limited real-world benefit in games. Rather, it's more useful in professional rendering as the larger pool can speed-up time to completion massively. Hot HardwareSummarizing the GeForce RTX 3090's performance is simple -- it's the single fastest GPU on the market currently, bar none. There's nuance to consider here, though. Versus the GeForce RTX 3080, disregarding CPU limited situations or corner cases, the more powerful RTX 3090's advantages over the 3080 only range from about 4% to 20%. Versus the Titan RTX, the GeForce RTX 3090's advantages increase to approximately 6% to 40%. Consider complex creator workloads which can leverage the GeForce RTX 3090's additional resources and memory, however, and it is simply in another class altogether and can be many times faster than either the RTX 3080 or Titan RTX. Igor's LabIn Summary: this card is a real giant, especially at higher resolutions, because even if the lead over the GeForce RTX 3080 isn’t always as high as dreamed, it’s always enough to reach the top position in playability. Right stop of many quality controllers included. Especially when the games of the GeForce RTX 3090 and the new architecture are on the line, the mail really goes off, which one must admit without envy, whereby the actual gain is not visible in pure FPS numbers. KitGuru ArticleKitGuru VideoRTX 3080 was heralded by many as an excellent value graphics card, delivering performance gains of around 30% compared to the RTX 2080 Ti, despite being several hundred pounds cheaper. With the RTX 3090, Nvidia isn’t chasing value for money, but the overall performance crown. OC3DAs with any launch, the primary details are in the GPU itself, and so the first half of this conclusion is the same for both of the AIB RTX 3090 graphics cards that we are reviewing today. If you want to know specifics of this particular card, skip down the page. PC Perspective - TBDPC WorldThere’s no doubt that the $1,500 GeForce RTX 3090 is indeed a “big ferocious GPU,” and the most powerful consumer graphics card ever created. The Nvidia Founders Edition delivers unprecedented performance for 4K gaming, frequently maxes out games at 1440p, and can even play at ludicrous 8K resolution in some games. It’s a beast for 3440x1440 ultrawide gaming too, as our separate ultrawide benchmarks piece shows. Support for HDMI 2.1 and AV1 decoding are delicious cherries on top. TechGage - Workstation benchmark!NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3090 is an interesting card for many reasons, and it’s harder to summarize than the RTX 3080 was, simply due to its top-end price and goals. The RTX 3080, priced at $699, was really easy to recommend to anyone wanting a new top-end gaming solution, because compared to the last-gen 2080S, 2080 Ti, or even TITAN RTX, the new card simply trounced them all. Techpowerup - MSI Gaming X TrioTechpowerup - Zotac TrinityTechpowerup - Asus Strix OCTechpowerup - MSI Gaming X TrioStill, the performance offered by the RTX 3090 is impressive; the Gaming X is 53% faster than RTX 2080 Ti, 81% faster than RTX 2080 Super. AMD's Radeon RX 5700 XT is less than half as fast, the performance uplift vs the 3090 is 227%! AMD Big Navi better be a success. With those performance numbers RTX 3090 is definitely suited for 4K resolution gaming. Many games will run over 90 FPS, at highest details, in 4K, nearly all over 60, only Control is slightly below that, but DLSS will easily boost FPS beyond that. The FPS Review - TBDTomshardwareLet's be clear: the GeForce RTX 3090 is now the fastest GPU around for gaming purposes. It's also mostly overkill for gaming purposes, and at more than twice the price of the RTX 3080, it's very much in the category of GPUs formerly occupied by the Titan brand. If you're the type of gamer who has to have the absolute best, and price isn't an object, this is the new 'best.' For the rest of us, the RTX 3090 might be drool-worthy, but it's arguably of more interest to content creators who can benefit from the added performance and memory.

At the close of trading next Thursday, the bull market will be ready to run into 2021 but probably at a slower pace.
January is the month that Wall Street tradition says sets the tone for the year — “so goes January, so goes the year,” as the saynig goes. This January could be challenging, with the spreading pandemic slowing the economy and the important Georgia Senate run off elections on Jan. 5.
On Jan. 20, Joseph Biden will be sworn in as president.
“It’s a market that’s on end-of-year auto pilot,” said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA. In three of every four years, the market sees an end-of-year Santa rally, but Stovall is also waiting to see trading in the first five days of January for signs of how the market could trade in 2021.
If the market is higher in the first five days, history shows the S&P 500 has been up 82% of the time for the full year with an average 12.5% gain, he notes.
“There are things we could worry about in January. If they were real worries, the market would be reacting already or treading water already,” Stovall said. “What spooks me is the market is setting itself up. It’s a correction in search of a catalyst, and we don’t know what the catalyst is just yet.”
Some strategists expect a pullback early in the year, but the consensus is that the market ends 2021 higher. The average expectation for the S&P 500 at year end 2021 is 4,056, according to a CNBC survey of strategists.
Stovall said the market has gotten pricey, and there are signs of froth. The 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio for S&P 500 companies is at a 41% premium to the average multiple of 16.7, going back to the year 2000.
“I don’t feel strongly that the first few days of January has to set the direction for the market for the balance of the year,” said Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors. “If in fact [stocks] do rally, it’s more of a sign of strength. But if they suffer a hiccup, I wouldn’t throw in the towel.”
The outcome of the Georgia races is a wild card for stocks, and it could trigger a market reaction no matter what the outcome. Should there be a surprise and Democrats win both seats, the Senate would be split evenly between Republicans and Democrats. That would leave Vice President-elect Kamala Harris to cast the tie-breaking vote.
Some strategists say the market could sell-off if Democrats win, since investors fear the party would have the votes to pass tax hikes that Biden favors. On the other hand, a GOP win could spark a relief rally.
But Stovall said the market could rally on a Democratic victory if investors were to consider the prospect for a bigger infrastructure and stimulus package favored by Democrats.
Arone said uncertainty about the current $900 billion fiscal stimulus package approved by Congress this past week could become a concern, if President Donald Trump decides to veto it or not sign the bill.
The president criticized the package and said individuals should receive more than the $600 that would go to many adults and children as part of the relief.
The bill extends aid for millions of Americans on unemployment, and those benefits run out Dec. 31 unless it is signed.
“We’re up against deadlines, as opposed to it just being a political thing,” said Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Advisory Group. “There are actual deadlines on benefits that are expiring. Because of the deadlines, the market assumes it will get passed.”
But the concern will hang over the market until it is resolved.
In the four-day holiday week ahead, trading is expected to be quiet. There are few economic reports; jobless claims on Thursday will be watched closely. In the following week, the December jobs report is expected to show a weaker labor market, and some estimate only about 100,000 jobs or fewer were added.
9-month old bull
The S&P 500 heads into the final week of the year with about a 15% gain for 2020, but from the March low the index is up about 65%. The bull market turned nine months old this past week.
According to CFRA’s Stovall, that nine-month gain is more than twice the average nine-month gain of 32.2% for all bull markets since World War II. In the remaining course of the bull markets, their average compounded growth was just 20.3%, showing a slowdown in the rate of gains.
“Following these typical jackrabbit starts, bull market advance rates typically slowed, posting smaller compound annual rates during the remainder of their bull-market runs,” Stovall noted. Based on past bull markets, he said the returns could slow during the rest of this bull run to about half of their current gain.
Santa Claus Rally Started Today! First Leg of January Indicator Trifecta
We have stood on Yale Hirsch’s shoulders and combined his #SantaClausRally (SCR) with his #JanuaryBarometer (JB) and our #FirstFiveDays “Early Warning” System (FFD) to create our “January Indicator Trifecta.”
Stock Trader’s Almanac founder and creator, Yale Hirsch (97 years old and counting!), discovered and named both the “Santa Claus Rally” and the “January Barometer” in 1972 in the Almanac and coined the phrase: “If Santa Claus should fail to call, bears may come to Broad and Wall.”
The “Santa Claus Rally” began today on Christmas Eve day December 24and lasts until the second trading day of 2021. Average S&P 500 gains over this seven trading-day range since 1969 are a respectable 1.3%. This is the first indicator of our “January Indicator Trifecta” for the market in the New Year. Years when the “Santa Claus Rally” (SCR) has failed to materialize are often flat or down.
The best case, most bullish scenario is when all three indicators, SCR, FFD and JB, are positive as shown in table below. In 31 previous Trifecta occurrences since 1950, S&P 500 advanced 87.1% of the time during the subsequent eleven months and 90.3% of the time for the full year. However, a January Indicator Trifecta does not guarantee the year will be bear or correction free. Of the four losing “Last 11 Mon” years 1966, 1987 and 2011 experienced short duration bear markets (2011, S&P 500 –19.4% peak to trough). In 2018, S&P 500 retreated 19.8% from its September high close to its December low close.

Do You Believe In The Santa Claus Rally?
“If Santa should fail to call, bears may come to Broad and Wall.” —Yale Hirsh
December is widely known as one of the best months of the year for stocks, but most don’t realize that the majority of the gains happen in the second half of the month.

Equity strength at this time of the year is widely known as the Santa Claus Rally, but the term is somewhat misunderstood. Discovered in 1972 by Yale Hirsch, creator of the Stock Trader’s Almanac (carried on now by his son Jeff Hirsch), the real Santa Claus Rally is the final five trading days of the year and first two trading days of the following year, not just December. In other words, the official Santa Claus Rally is set to begin Thursday, December 24.
So how likely are these seven trading days to be higher? Well, there isn’t a single seven-day combo out of the full year that is more likely to be higher than the 77.9% of the time higher we’ve seen previously during the Santa Claus Rally. Additionally, these seven days are up an average of 1.33%, which is the second-best seven-day combo of the year. Do you believe yet?

“Why are these seven days so strong?” asked LPL Financial Chief Market Strategist Ryan Detrick. “Whether optimism over a coming new year, holiday spending, traders on vacation, institutions squaring up their books before the holidays—or the holiday spirit—the bottom line is that bulls tend to believe in Santa.”
The LPL Chart of the Day illustrates how the Santa Claus Rally has performed over the past 20 years. Usually these seven days are higher, which leads to strength in January. But what stands out to us is that the times Santa didn’t come, January was lower each time. Now do you believe?
(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)
Let’s take a closer look at what happens when things don’t go according to plan. Remember, Yale Hirsch told us, “If Santa should fail to call, bears may come to Broad and Wall.” This is because the New York Stock Exchange is at the corner of Broad and Wall Streets.
Going back to the mid-1990s, there have been only six times Santa failed to show in December. January was lower five of those six times, and the full year had a solid gain only once (in 2016, but a mini-bear market early in the year). “Considering the bear markets of 2000 and 2008 both took place after one of the rare instances that Santa failed to show makes believers out of us. Should this seasonally strong period miss the mark, it could be a warning sign,” explained Santa Claus believer Detrick.

Housing Inventories Keep Dropping
Yesterday's Existing Home Sales data from the National Association of Realtors for the month of November continued to impress. As discussed in last night's Closer, Existing Sales came in at 6.69 million SAAR. Although lower, snapping a streak of five straight months of increases, sales continue to come in at some of the highest levels since 2006. With sales running at such a strong clip recently, inventory numbers have been nothing short of remarkable: there are only 1.32 million listed units nationally with 1.12 million single-family homes listed. Both respective readings are the lowest levels of the past two decades. Even with declines in volumes, the ongoing collapse in inventory levels has driven the number of units in inventory down to 2.37 months' sales (only 2.25 months for single family homes), a new record low. We should note that implied new listings have indeed risen. They stand in the mid-6mm SAAR range, the highest since 2007 but still about 20% below the 8mm range that they hit in the mid-2000s. While prices are still extremely high, they did drop sequentially on the month thanks most likely to a shift in mix towards lower value homes.
