For your guys' convenience, I have created a "copy-pasta" (is that what the kids say these days?)

You may use this whenever someone claims that the 3080 is the "flagship" and the 3090 is the "Titan" of this generation.

Here I ask you this. Does Nvidia advertise the 3080 as their "flagship" in the product page? No

 

Does the RTX 3090 have drivers optimized for professional use like the TITAN series? No

 

Is the RTX 3090 sold only by Nvidia and not by AIBs like the "professional" TITAN series? No serry.

 

The only thing Nvidia claimed that could actually make the 3090 a "professional" GPU is their "Titan-Class performance", but it's only 10% faster than the 3080.

 

I know, massive wall of text. But the 3090 is the top end Geforce Card of the 3000 series, and that's generally what we call "flagship".

 

Nvidia just wants us to think it's "A Titan-like" so we don't complain about the stupid $1500 price tag for 10% better performance.

You can watch Linus' video where he benches the 3090 in productivity applications and the Turing-based Titan RTX beats it by a lot in multiple tests.
