The 3DMark results still seem suspiciously low, especially those related to ray tracing performance. This could be caused by unstable drivers or the benchmark tests are somehow faked. On the plus side, the new Ashes of the Singularity results are looking better, with 40% gains over the stock RTX 2080 Ti.

Still seems to be 80% better than the 2080 Super if you try to compare apples to apples naming conventions, so that's cool I guess..
Even if the 3080 were just 25-30% faster than the 2080 Ti, it would be good enough already, considering the price difference.
With my MSI gaming X Trio 2080Ti and 3700X I am getting about 14300-14600 in Timespy. If these are the results we would expect, then skipping a GPU generation makes a lot of sense.

The numbers above indicate 50-60%, which isn't quite the same as 80%...
