Pretty sure I'm going to wait on MSI Gaming X version of 3080Ti as I have good experience with Gaming X cards.

I'm hoping the nvidia one will be the same as last time at 10.5".It's hard to say as we don't know what the reference designs look like.
And this is the first time you've seen people use a term incorrectly? This happens all the time, and it either dies off or becomes the norm. If you want to try to go around and correct everyone with the hopes it'll die, good on you. I just read it, know they mean partner boards and/or not reference design (because even board partners can still in release reference designed boards) and move on with my life. It's too short to worry about silly things like this. All that said, your are correct about the term not really meaning what people use it for.Maybe I'm old but AIB still means 'add in board' and what we're talking about here are dedicated external GPUs plugging in to PCIe slots, so by default they're AIB's, so why do people keep using this phrase when referring to the differences between AMD/NVIDIA default/reference designs over custom partner boards? It used to be about reference designs over custom designs, especially since some vendors will sell reference designs and custom designs so the current (wrong) 'AIB'' tag doesn't make much sense here either. Please help me out in understanding this craziness.
Nah, absolutely not, but I'm mostly bored and wanted to yell at cloud.And this is the first time you've seen people use a term incorrectly?

i'm just going to wait and see what the actual performance ends up being..
I omitted the word "partners" after aib. Add that word and your concern is moot.Maybe I'm old but AIB still means 'add in board' and what we're talking about here are dedicated external GPUs plugging in to PCIe slots, so by default they're AIB's, so why do people keep using this phrase when referring to the differences between AMD/NVIDIA default/reference designs over custom partner boards?

Didn't AMD say they're next reference design was not going to be blower style or am I misremembering something I heard/read? If so, might not make to big of a difference. Nvidia reference design are normally pretty good, but obviously partner boards can can come with a free extras or slight differences. Reference boards are typically easiest to find water blocks for if that's your thing.
I think I'm skipping this generation. Gains won't be enough to even worth the hassle. I'd be surprised if it will be over 20% faster in anything but RTX.
I don't think he will be honestly. What ever AMD releases probably be around 2080ti speed at best. Nvidia been doing nothing but milking people. I expect HDMI 2.1 and a big RTX push with the 3xxx series. We going to be lucky if there isn't a price increase.I believe you are going to be wrong. I guess we'll find out this winter.
I've been so impressed with the ASUS Strix 2080Ti that I'll probably wait for the 3080Ti variant.
One thing I won't do is buy anything made by ZOTAC.
