It's about time.

Seems like I've been waiting for these cards forever.
The 3000 series was unobtainable for years and now that they've finally come down in price, the new 4000's are coming out.

I need to upgrade my 7 year old GTX 1080.

I'm so excite about Portal in RTX!

And I'm sure my 3080ti will be able to play it full beans.

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

Nice! I need something soonish

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Too bad EVGA said fuck you to nVidia.

Will wait with bated breath for Gigabyte’s white version.

Might pick up another 3080 if they tank in price

I just bought the 3080 the other day to replace the gtx 1070 I've been using in my desktop that I built last year. Originally had a 3080ti but that was a faulty one.

They did?

Damn, the last 3 models of Nvidia cards I bought were EVGA, including my current one.

Same here, I dig their stuff.

When the time comes I’ll probably ask TCG for help to just rebuild my computer. Pretty sure I need a cpu and should get a new mobo too if I want a good cpu.

I really am on the fence about this 3070.

EVGA NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 FTW3 Ultra Gaming Triple-Fan 8GB GDDR6 PCIe 4.0 Graphics Card - Micro Center

Get it now! The EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 is powered by the NVIDIA Ampere architecture. Built with enhanced RT Cores and Tensors Cores, new streaming multiprocessors, and high-speed G6 memory, it gives you the power you need to rip through the most demanding games at 1440p resolution.

2 years ago I would have ran right away. Now, I havent even booted my gaming PC up since I still dont have a place to set it up yet.

I'd wait. I bet it hits under $500. Search 3070 om MC, they have over 100+ different 3070s and 3070ti available. Thats a shit load of graphics cards. Even at the sale prices, they havent really been selling or going down in stock.

Nvidia's RTX 4090 targets 300+ FPS at 1440p with low latency for competitive shooters

These people are going to click on my head so fast.

8 Gigs is NOT enough. Even a game like Doom Eternal which is supremely optimized will fill that VRAM with the textures filled up. 10GB minimum.

And with a 3070 you will be able to turn every option to the max so you will run out of texture memory.

I really wish that part of the RTX thing could be enabling true HDR on titles that didn't originally support it.

Remedy's Control would look AMAZING in HDR. And HDR makes a far larger difference in image quality than 4k does.

If I had to choose between HDR or 4k? I'd be choosing HDR.

 

[Mook]

So you're saying you'd choose HDR over 4k?

Depends on the screen size too. 1080p HDR on a 60" screen would be worse then 4k on a 60" IMO.

Just can't beat the pixel count advantage at those sizes

100%

AIBs and retailers are going to feel this for a while. No one is buying at half the price like they were at the peak.

Especially with the current economy. Unless you are cushy, nobody is buying extra stuff because EVERYTHING that is a need, is 20-30% more now minimum.

All the shit that are wants, is going on sale or clearance. the big boys, like walmart, are building additions to their stores to house the product so they dont eat their asses on it.

Buyer beware: the 12GB RTX 4080 is hiding a dirty little secret

A tale of two GPUs

www.techradar.com

Short version, the RTX 4080 12GB might be 20-25% less powerful than the RTX 4080 16GB, since it is using the AD104 chip, not the AD103.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

oh you mean the 4070 12GB that they stuck a 4080 badge on?

Pretty much the sentiment of the article's author.

yeah, nvidia must really be hurting profit wise



they are just being greedy cocks

 

[Fish]

I am actually waiting to see what RDNA 3 looks like. If they make strides like Ryzen did, Nvidia will be the next in line the grim reaper meme with Intel's room being the first one slaughtered.

Well, former AMD top brass first, then Intel, currently knocking on Nvidia's door.
