I haven't actually been paying attention to the 3070 launch, did they push it back indefinitely or something

plucky fossil
#

For bots im assuming

quasi geyser
#

After the 3080 disaster I wouldn't blame them

fathom bear
#

Yeah probably so they don’t get the page ids etc

plucky fossil
#

It's coming out tommorow

quasi geyser
#

OH

clear frigate
#

harder to tell a bot to watch a page if it isnt publicly know yet

plucky fossil
#

I want to buy

quasi geyser
#

Yeah definitely for bots then

plucky fossil
#

I hope I don't have to have fast hands to get a card

fathom bear
#

You absolutely do

#

My suggestion is to try the app

plucky fossil
#

Why the app?

clear frigate
#

guess im waking up at 6 since thats what newegg posted

#

and people and the companies said people on the app were getting their hands on them easier i believe

fathom bear
#

Newegg said half the buyers used the app

plucky fossil
#

Oh wow

agile parrot
#

microcenter and best buy are the only ones for fe cards if thats what you want

clear frigate
#

got me that bestbuy and newegg app

plucky fossil
#

I want the asus dual oc

lone pond
#

microcenter is like nowhere

pliant verge
#

ikr

plucky fossil
#

I have one like 30 minutes from me

lone pond
#

they only have like 20 stores

pliant verge
#

how many of you trying to get 3070

plucky fossil
#

Me

normal hawk
#

These new AMD GPU's toariGASM So worth the wait

clear frigate
#

aye

pliant verge
#

i have one 5 hours away

normal hawk
#

Oh I moved my GPU's around, time to update my Specs

fathom bear
#

If you’re not already at microcenter

#

You’re not getting one

pliant verge
#

ik

dusk oasis
#

do you recommend me buy PNY dual fan 3070?

pliant verge
#

i have no money so i cant buy the 3070 yet 😦

normal hawk
#

Much better

agile parrot
#

if you can get an asus or FE one do it

normal hawk
#

Imma get me that 6900XT for sure

agile parrot
#

if they release one

stoic folio
#

So want do I get 3070 or rx 6800

agile parrot
#

3070 is $80 cheaper

#

has dlss and rtx to offer as well

#

i know alot of people have builds off of the actual card and the 6000 series is ugly as hell

normal hawk
#

Psssh its not ugly

agile parrot
#

compared to the FE 3000 series it is

humble hemlock
#

FE is deff classier looking

agile parrot
#

its all metal and its new fan setup is gorgeous

normal hawk
#

FE was discontinued for the 3080 already though wasn't it?

agile parrot
#

no

#

its being sold through best buy

#

and the 70 fe will be through best buy and microcenter

normal hawk
#

Ah, they stopped on their own store

humble hemlock
#

i wonder if a 6800xt will run well with Ryzen 7

agile parrot
#

you cant say the FE doesnt look beautiful

humble hemlock
#

it does

normal hawk
#

Never said it didn't, but the 6000 series doesn't look ugly

agile parrot
#

in comparison to the fe it does

humble hemlock
#

i think at this point you cant go wrong with either they are both 50% better that previous models

agile parrot
#

oh yeah its down to choice really

#

but no rtx and dlss for radeon is the kicker tbh

normal hawk
#

Price, preference, and what you are doing.

quasi geyser
#

the extra $80 is the kicker for me

#

I'll stick with the 3070

shell mesa
#

Do we know if there is going to be something like a 6600xt or should i wait to see if it wont come out

quasi geyser
#

If I can find one

humble hemlock
#

good luck

normal hawk
#

I'm gonna try to get the 6900XT but I doubt I'll be able to get it, Will be in Kuwait when it drops.

quasi geyser
#

I don't plan on building my new rig for another few months anyway

#

Waiting on my tax refund

fathom bear
#

If you can wait, that's almost always a good idea

#

I'm running ultrawide on a 1060, so I'd really like a new gpu

quasi geyser
#

I bought all my parts for my current build during that period where everything was super expensive

clear frigate
#

I just wanna have a card by december so I am willing to risk it and wait to see more benchmarks and stuff

fathom bear
#

I mean even if 3070 sells out, you can still try and get an amd card

rich oasis
#

@agile parrot delete

#

No selljng

clear frigate
#

a list oooh

#

i do wish they had the cost for each on that list

fathom bear
#

No kidding

humble hemlock
#

dont know if thats a good thing gives bots a better chance at scooping them up\

fathom bear
#

Nvidia isn't selling them directly. It doesn't really matter

clear frigate
#

depends if it updates with a sellers list

humble hemlock
#

true

clear frigate
#

if its just showing the cards and some specs it wont be to bad if it has a chance to later add a where to buy when they go live then yes bad imo

lone pond
#

Should I wait for the new amd gpus or just pick up my 3080 in a couple weeks

agile parrot
#

up to you really but im happy i went with 3080 for the extra features nvidia offers

spice prawn
#

and what are those extra features (in your mind)?

agile parrot
#

Rtx, dlss

spice prawn
#

rtx = that is on the amd side too

agile parrot
#

Radeon uses directx raytracing which is garbage

spice prawn
#

so thats a wash

lone pond
#

What do you think ned

agile parrot
#

Not a wash

spice prawn
#

hahahahaha

agile parrot
#

Directx raytracing is in warzone

spice prawn
#

you do know that RTX is based on right?

agile parrot
#

Yes

spice prawn
#

as in, what is the actual spec its running right?

lone pond
#

:(

agile parrot
#

Still no dlss

spice prawn
#

DXR is the standard

#

so what you are calling garbage is what nvidia is using.

#

but, sure, lets leave that one to the side for now

agile parrot
#

Rtx is the better version of that

spice prawn
#

no, its not

agile parrot
#

Then why doesn't it actually raytrace like with minecraft or bfv

spice prawn
#

its just a name for the "implementation" that nvidia uses

#

which "it" are you talking about there?

agile parrot
#

The directx raytracing in warzone

#

Why doesn't that have the same results as in minecraft or bfv

spice prawn
#

different implementations

agile parrot
#

Or control

#

Or cold war

spice prawn
#

again, same.

agile parrot
#

So what's with dlss

spice prawn
#

that is a feature that amd does not have. (dont know if they are working on their take on it, but i imagine they are)

agile parrot
#

I imagine they are too, but dlss2.0 is already in games and it's going to be implemented in more

#

Nvidia shader settings in game, Nvidia broadcast, nvidia reflex

#

Nvidia GeForce now

spice prawn
#

and try and take a good hard long look at that list, because so far, the adaptation on DLSS has not exactly been good (for any of the versions of it, which btw nvidia efffed up royally on reporting clearly )

#

reflex = antilag is same-ish tech (not saying its a replacement, just saying its their take on it)

#

also, did you just call Geforce Now a feature for the GPU's?

crisp ocean
#

lol

agile parrot
#

Ok so not counting that

#

What about the shader settings in game

#

I personally use them quite a bit in warzone

#

Makes the game less bleak and gray and helps control shadows better

spice prawn
#

you mean, the enable/disable shaders in a game?

agile parrot
#

Yes

spice prawn
#

it should be there too

#

dont see why not

agile parrot
#

The geforce experience thats what it's called

spice prawn
#

geforce experience is the tool for handling the settings for the gpu both in game and out of game.

agile parrot
#

Does radeon have that or something similar to it

spice prawn
#

never dealt with that game directly. So i have bugger all idea about that :)

#

but i dont see why it would not be there.

agile parrot
#

Check out the video

#

He explains it and shows it off better than I can explain

#

Because it makes the game look so much better and you can control all the settings for what you want your game to look like

crisp ocean
#

I think the 3070 > 6800, 3080 = 6800XT, and 3090 < 6900XT

spice prawn
#

that is imo a hack of what the game is supposed to look like.

agile parrot
#

A hack?

#

Lol

#

I haven't been banned yet then

spice prawn
#

you misunderstand.

agile parrot
#

That I don't want my game to boring and gray and I have full control of it?

spice prawn
#

what he suggests (and what you say you are playing with) is not a setting that is available IN the game.

agile parrot
#

yes but its nvidia only

#

radeon doesnt have that software to do it

spice prawn
#

so, what he does is a "hack" of the visuals of the game

agile parrot
#

ok i get what you are saying, but i would much rather be able to control what i see and get the better advantage

spice prawn
#

that part of it is a different talk all together :)

agile parrot
#

if you were to go radeon you lose that feature

spice prawn
#

and i am not saying that you cannot feel that

wanton burrow
#

if you're arguing with naed, you will lose

#

or he will go to bed

spice prawn
#

@wanton burrow no argument, just a debate

agile parrot
#

im not arguing im saying amd radeon doesnt have that feature

wanton burrow
#

that is literally the same thing

agile parrot
#

and its a big advantage to control the colors and shadows and sharpness like that

spice prawn
#

nah, he has a viewpoint, i have one. we are talking about the intersections of them.

wanton burrow
#

ok

spice prawn
#

its called having a talk about a subject.

wanton burrow
#

ok

#

see

#

i lost

agile parrot
#

i have a friend who is color blind and cant make out things in shadows, and warzone is full of some pretty horrible shading

spice prawn
#

@agile parrot i am very much not a fan of "not done by the game itself" modifications.

agile parrot
#

but with geforce experience he can tune the game to his advantage so he can see basically through dark shadows and corneres

spice prawn
#

because i am very much of the opinion that the DEV of the game should be the one to fix that

agile parrot
#

right they should fix it

spice prawn
#

if a dev cannot be bothered to fix that... im sorry, but they deserve a good solid slap to the head

agile parrot
#

lol

spice prawn
#

(and a kick between the legs)

#

because as i said, i am not trying to say you should not have the option

#

BUT

#

i have seen the history of the slippery slope that this leads to

#

its just MUCH simpler for everyone if the DEVS either enable or disable this

#

(as in, the ability for adjusting this in-game)

stone raft
#

did anyone else laugh when AMD guy was like "I loved using this videocard on LoL" as if that was gonna make us go "OMG SOOO COOOLL"

spice prawn
#

@agile parrot but, back to the GPU features :)

agile parrot
#

heat transfer

spice prawn
#

hm?

agile parrot
#

FE 3080 and 3090 have the new fan setup and heatsinks surrounding the card

#

that was one of the big things was the FE was the coolest card they have made

#

but not a mention of thermals with amd

spice prawn
#

so, if i put a jet engine fan on the COOLER of the gpu, that is a feature of the GPU?

agile parrot
#

if you offer it as a feature then its a feature right

spice prawn
#

its a side effect of the cooler design

#

for the FE model

agile parrot
#

which in turn makes it a feature because its something it utilizes and is only found in one model

spice prawn
#

which is using the type of cooler that none of the other manufacturers are.

agile parrot
#

the usage of the amd 5000 series to unlock the full features of the amd is also isolating its users

spice prawn
#

need i remind you of G-sync?

agile parrot
#

g sync is widely available now

#

and freesync compatible can do gsync

spice prawn
#

or any of the other tech that nvidia has limited to their hardware with their exclusive lock-in?

#

on that front. nvidia has NOT been a good thing for the gaming community

agile parrot
#

im saying now, in light of covid

#

there will be less cpus and gpus

#

and you need both

#

and a new mobo

spice prawn
#

where are the 3080 cards?

stone raft
#

^

spice prawn
#

(by the logic you are using)

#

(which i dont agree with at all)

agile parrot
#

by the same logic there will be less amd gpus

#

because they have to focus on cpu and gpu production

spice prawn
#

the current supply problem for nvidia stems from their choice of Samsung as the foundry

#

amd is using TSMC as foundry

agile parrot
#

and so is apple on the new iphone 12s

#

they are tied back as well

spice prawn
#

different fabrication process

#

meaning, different machines

agile parrot
#

yes but still they have less workers right now due to covid

#

less production

spice prawn
#

not saying we cannot talk about this, but unless you know a lot about foundries, you are going to get in trouble

agile parrot
#

ok well i dont lol

spice prawn
#

:)

agile parrot
#

but still the point stands

lone pond
#

I might unsubscribe from linus and jay. Clickbait titles like this. What am I supposed to do now, cancel my 3080 order and wait another month?

agile parrot
#

cpu and gpu and new mobo to fully use your new gpu

#

stick with the 3080

spice prawn
#

please just take my word for it. the public "oh noes! there will be less production" is WAY WAY overrated by the same public.

#

the people IN the foundries have been some of the safest people on the planet

lone pond
#

there has to be a limit. I've been waiting for new releases for months now

spice prawn
#

they are working in CLEAN rooms

agile parrot
#

they are basically same performance between the two cards

#

stick with the 3080, if the amd is better resell the 3080

spice prawn
#

@lone pond jay certainly aint earning himself any favours

#

but to walk it all the way back

agile parrot
#

there will be less 3080s until next year because of shortage, so you can resell for most likely at retail

stone raft
#

I might unsubscribe from linus and jay. Clickbait titles like this. What am I supposed to do now, cancel my 3080 order and wait another month?
@lone pond You waiting a month either way probably

kind wigeon
#

lol it isn't their fault nvidia released their GPUs months ago and eevrybody got hype

#

srsly

#

all the reasons I used to say nvidia over amd for gpu just vanished

#

ray tracing, their own version of dlss (i think)...

#

it's-

spice prawn
#

DLSS, Broadcast (and other features that leverage the software work that Nvidia has done in regards/relation to the NVenc block) <- those are things that yes, amd does not have.

#

no doubt about that.

All of yt is basically clickbait lol

@copper fern neither.

agile parrot

i know i was just wondering

kind wigeon
#

1050 ti

#

for gaming

copper fern
#

i have a 1050 an was offered duel 970s

kind wigeon
#

actually

agile parrot
#

how much is the 1050ti

kind wigeon
#

no

#

neither

copper fern
#

200 some?

spice prawn

@copper fern there will be no driver support from january 2021

agile parrot

2060

copper fern

ahh

kind wigeon
#

@copper fern get rx 580 8 gb

#

for 180$

copper fern

everyone telling me to get that

#

but fs

kind wigeon
#

everybody says that for a reason

#

BECAUSE IT'S GOOD

#

smh

#

some people...

agile parrot
#

yeah do it

#

its better price and performance than 1660ti and 2060

kind wigeon
#

??

#

that's false

#

the 2060 is much better than an rx 580

copper fern
#

yaa

agile parrot
#

PRICE

kind wigeon
#

...

agile parrot
#

the 2060 is $40 more expensive

kind wigeon
#

it's not better than a 2060

#

the 2060 is much better

copper fern
#

no its a lil more

kind wigeon
#

price isn't a factor here

copper fern
#

well for me it is lol

kind wigeon
#

it's whatever fits in the budget

agile parrot
#

yeah

kind wigeon
#

not 'oh this is best price to performance'

copper fern
#

ill get money its ok

kind wigeon
#

bruh it's fine- whatever ur budget is, stick to that

copper fern
#

you're just saying whats better in general?

kind wigeon
#

rx 580 is best gpu for under 200 yea

#

but don't talk abt price when comparing gpus

#

just talk about whatever is in the budget

agile parrot
#

price is a big factor for some lol

kind wigeon
#

if it isn't in the budget, don't include it in the conversation

#

bruhhh

#

don't talk about it

agile parrot
#

he never said his budget

kind wigeon
#

if it isn't relevant

#

200 some?
@copper fern

#

budget ^^

agile parrot
#

and the 2060 is over

kind wigeon
#

it's not

#

@agile parrot you need to do some research lmao

agile parrot
#

anyway

#

@spice prawn anything else

spice prawn
#

nah, i was just curious what your take was. Because it seemed quite tilted towards one side, with a fair deal of misunderstandings mixed in

agile parrot

oh yeah, thanks for pointing out the other ups

What are the prices

agile parrot

what's happening

agile parrot

not 400

fluid star

500 ?

wanton burrow

3090 is still very viable for people who actually need the 24 GB of VRAM smh

Why did u say not for 4k

spice prawn
#

also, it does not serve anyone to hype it up to silly levels :)

Is there a significant difference in gddr6 and r6x?

fluid star
#

7nm 16 gb pretty enough for gamers i think

agile parrot
#

While GDDR6 has a burst length of 16 bytes (BL16), GDDR6X is limited to BL8 or 8 bytes, but because of PAM4 signaling, each of its 16-bit channels will also deliver 32 bytes per operation. Therefore, most of the improvement in bandwidth has come from higher operating frequency on GDDR6X.

#

Computer memory is mainly of two types: system memory (RAM), and graphics memory (VRAM). The former leverages DDR4 while the latter makes use of the GDDR5 (and GDDR6) standard. But what’s the difference between the two. In this post, we compare DDR4 vs GDDR5 (and GDDR6) and ex...

spice prawn
#

it boils down to differences in what the specific GPU architectures "need"

agile parrot
#

does amd have the same type of thing as direct storage for 30 series

#

i know its not available yet on the 30 series cards

#

nvmd, its through the games themselves being developed to use it

#

but still does amd have something like that?

spice prawn
#

aye

#

DirectStorage is a part of the directx "package/system/family"

basically, anything the new consoles can do, the 6000 series can do (with more bells and whistles)

DOES anyone know when is the rtx 2070 starting to sell, since there's only the date

I personally think that it doesn't matter which you choose, at this point its basically preference. I just prefer nvidia programs and drivers

I would assume 6 am EST?

its 6 am PST, 9 am EST

@crisp ocean My thoughts exactly. Also rn it doesn't look like the extra $80 is worth the performance boost

For which card? the 6800XT?

oh the 6800, gotcha lol

i dont think it matters how much of a fan u are of ether, bottom line is.. good luck purchasing somthing that hardly exists?

so those of you looking to get a 3070, are you just going to use yourself and no bots?

Probably

I think nvidia is still far ahead in the drivers game, and Im trying to snipe one by hand not bots

everyone always talks about nvidia and there drivers, i had a 2s5850 then a 2s7850 then 2x290 then my 1080ti, i dident have any less software issues with amd (not counting cf issues) other than nvidia and my 1080ti

i dont have a pc so i want to build mine as fast as possible

quasi geyser
#

That's exactly how I felt when I built my first rig

#

I hardly did any research. The mobo died within like six months

crisp ocean
#

Im just used to nvidia and thats what I like, I don't have an issue paying premium for brands I know are good and have used and had positive experiences with

#

I also think that spending a bit more moeny for rgb is fine because I want the system im building to look good

lone pond
#

what is a mobo?

crisp ocean

motherboard

Motherboard

lone pond
#

oh

#

Stay away from Asrock, especially their cheaper boards

lone pond
#

i bit the bullet and bought a x570

#

i mean.. nvidia is to much secrete sauce these days tbh

crisp ocean
#

I buy from corsair, asus, and msi mainly

quasi geyser
#

The mobo for my new build is actually kind of a dilemma
I can go for either a mid-range X570 or a high-end B550

okay atleast don't pay $100 for windows

I might buy an ebay key just for the lols

yeah. kinda problematic

frigid loom

#

also if i dont get the 3070 ill try for the 6800

#

but didnt amd have problems with their gpus?

lone pond
#

its coming down to preference really. We dont know if there is any problems till reviews

swift glade
#

aight

quasi geyser
#

Which, conveniently, are sparse for the 3070 and nonexistent for the 6800 (obviously)

lone pond
#

from what i watched, the 3070 doesnt do well with overclocking but it performs well on 1440p. Im not going to overclock it bc im not that hardcore, i just hope i could get a working one.

fathom bear
#

3070 is a good 1440p or ultra wide card it seems

swift glade
#

should i spam add to cart or just click add to cart once?

fathom bear
#

Use the app

lone pond
#

im gonna do it once

ik im using the app

as to not glitch it

im just hoping that i can get one

you can hope, but I wouldn't expect to get one until early next year

For the 3080, even though they sold out in "minutes" the servers were so inundated you couldn't even do anything

swift glade

if i dont get one

#

ill just figure out another card

fathom bear

Do you absolutely need one right now?

i was only hoping this one because of the price point and its my REAL first build

yeah

by christmas time

i wanted to get one bc its my first build

i have the worst pc rn

Man first build with a 3070 xD

and if im going to spend 500 then id try my chances at a 3070

I hope you appreciate how crazy the tech is

@swift glade "by xmas" <- go and enjoy life for a couple of weeks and then come back and look at things :)

huh?

don't put together a list now

tmrw- there will not be a 3070, on the launch day

on amazon

There probably will be, but they likely won't release it at the same time as everyone else

Except for "preorders"

That were probably reversed

that's a resell

Should I wait for the 6800 or just get the 3070?? I was planing on getting it anyway but I don’t know weather to change my mind and wait

Do you already have a monitor?

Yea

I would wait for the benchmarks personally

hey guys whats the best graphics car dto pair with i7 7700k?

zinc galleon

Ok

But it's really up to you

K do you really think AMDs 6800 is much better than the 3070

#

??

fathom bear

@viral fossil Current or upcoming?

zinc galleon

I was wondering

fathom bear

I don't know. That's speculation. I think they've got an advantage using their 5000 series cpus

zinc galleon

Yea

current

#

please

And your monitor?

viral fossil

1080p 144hz

well 1000 would be my budget

for a graphics card

I’m planning to get that too but idk I’ma try and get a 3070 tmrw and if I don’t get it I’ll get the Radeon

3070 launches tomorrow. You probably won't get one, but that would be a good pairing

is 1080ti still any good now days?

1080ti is great

I could get a pc... if I had money

If you get it for the right price

viral fossil

what would be the "right price"

spice prawn
#

@narrow ledge then ask again in 1½ month

viral fossil

and would it game well at 1440p 70fps?

fathom bear
#

Less than $400 maybe

viral fossil
#

oh

#

hm'

#

i been looking on amazon 🤣

fathom bear
#

It's similar to 2070 super with more vram

viral fossil

hm

i do want to buy it new

not used or refurb

fathom bear
#

Then don't buy 1080ti

viral fossil

ok

welp

woeful pawn

for new either 1660ti or stuck with 2000 series, or get lucky on a 3070

1000?

thats my budget

and 1660 is well below

@fathom bear did u build your PC?

how close in terms of performance are the 2080 super and ti?

@kind wigeon yes
@fathom bear no judgement, just curious, but why did you pair a 1060 with a 9700k? and a 3 gb one, for that matter

is it a placeholder?

dont ask what im pairing with my 7700k please

im very embarrassed about it

i also recently threw in a 1000watt psu and 32gb of ram

ik overkill

Damnnn niceee

@kind wigeon I originally had a 7600k

im upgrading my pc piece by piece because i want to actually be a content creator

went from a 3570k to a 9900k 3 months ago 😛

@high patio why not get 4th gen ryzen?

viral fossil

but i dont want to make money off of it i just want to make people smile

u have to swap mobo anyways

viral fossil

it gives me joy when people smile

high patio
#

I don't know, I'll have to wait and see the performance to price difference

kind wigeon
#

mk

high patio
#

Cause I don't really need good multi threading performance all that much and if the 11900k has a better IPC or better single thread performance, then that's the one I'll get but I can't wait to see what AMD is gonna have to offer

kind wigeon
#

bruh -_-

#

as of right now

4th gen ryzen is the best at gaming

#

gaming is ALL ABOUT single threaded performance

quasi geyser

#

Most games only use a few threads

kind wigeon

honestly

high patio
#

They say, but is it backed up? Was there actual benchmarks from reviewers and did we see anything about 11th gen intel gaming performance? Nope

kind wigeon
#

there's no benefit to buying an intel cpu right now

11th gen intel isn't coming out for another 16 months

Yeah no that's why I'm not getting the 10900K

kind wigeon

11th gen intel isn't coming out for another 16 months
@kind wigeon

wicked hound

"I don't really need good multi threading performance" then why are you getting an i9?

Yeah that's what I mean, I'm not upgrading this year

I bought 9700k for single thread

@wicked hound bc 'it's the best at gaming' even tho there aren't benchmarks

fathom bear

And it was cheap

kind wigeon

bc u just know how a future cpu is gonna do

Supposedly 5600x is going to have a rocking single core though

it is

According to passmark it is

Okk but why do you guys hate intel that much, everyone knows that the 10th gen was only a place filler/holder

kind wigeon

it wasn't

that was the whole flagship thing

and nobody hates 10th gen intel

everybody hates their digusting business practices and lack of respect for customers

Okk you got a good point for their business practices tho

kind wigeon
#

don't get me wrong, intel makes good cpus

atomic tangle

Does anyone know exactly what time the 3070 can be purchased

but their crappy cheapouts, and almost monopoloptic behavior is gross

quasi geyser

Beginning at 6 am Pacific time

@atomic tangle

9 AM EST

quasi geyser
#

Intel acts like a monopoly when they’re far from it

fathom bear
#

@kind wigeon AMD would do the same thing

kind wigeon
#

@kind wigeon AMD would do the same thing
@fathom bear how so

#

amd decided to keep the same socket for 5 years

fathom bear
#

A single company owns the market

#

They can do whatever they want

kind wigeon
#

amd decided to INCLUDE a GOOD cooler, helping budget customers

#

they don't 'own the market'

#

very far from it

fathom bear
#

AMD did anything they could to offset performance of intel

kind wigeon
#

that's called competition

atomic tangle
#

Kk im also undecided on if i should wait to get a 6800 or a 3080 just hate waiting hah

kind wigeon
#

and competition is good, it drives down prices and increases performance

fathom bear
#

They won’t keep the same socket for another 5 years. They own the market.

#

They don’t have to.

kind wigeon
#

do you know what 'own the market' means?

quasi geyser
#

@atomic tangle Waiting is hard, but it’s best. Third party benchmarks are key

atomic tangle
#

I know sold my 2080 and now im like ugghhh

kind wigeon
#

it means that the majority of purchases is coming from a single company. That isn't the case. the FTC classifies all laptop AND desktop CPUs as one category. INtel still very much so dominates the prebuilt desktop and laptop industry.

#

amd is far from monopolistic

quasi geyser
#

The 3080 looks good by AMD’s specs, because of course you won’t show off garbage specs at your launch event

#

6800*

fathom bear
#

Tell me what prebuilt or laptop consumer cares about the socket

#

Or the cooler

#

It’s a different market.

kind wigeon
#

@fathom bear most prebuilts use the stock cooler. Consumers care about the socket

#

by definition, amd isn't even close to 'owning the market'

#

just because it's more popular with enthusiasts doesn't mean it's a monopoly

fathom bear
#

Let me rephrase then. The large majority of new cpus used in new builds are AMD cpus, and they have a new launch on the horizon.

kind wigeon
#

so?

#

that's good

fathom bear
#

If you want a new cpu, you are buying AMD.

kind wigeon
#

do you want them to... stop making and improving cpus?

fathom bear
#

You have one option

kind wigeon
#

that's false

#

most laptops use intel

#

most prebuilt non gaming and a large portion of gaming ones use intel chips

fathom bear
#

I’m done rambling. All I’m saying is that I don’t care who’s making the cpus. Monopolies don’t benefit the consumer.

kind wigeon
#

no. but they aren't a monopoly

#

they are a competing business

#

and competition is the best thing for the consumer

spice prawn
#

@fathom bear the segment you are looking at currently is only consumer

#

both amd and intel are so much more than that

fathom bear
#

They’re losing server market share too.

spice prawn
#

yes yes

#

intel wont buckle for a number of years, even IF they dont have anything on the horizon.

kind wigeon
#

Just because a company is starting to edge out competetion, doesn't make them a monopoly

quasi geyser
#

Intel lost the supercomputer market too. The United States’ next supercomputer is slated to use AMD iirc

kind wigeon
#

intel still dominates the laptop industry. by a lot. gl finding a laptop under 500$ without an intel cpu

quasi geyser
#

I can see why, change is the enemy of prebuilt/laptop manufacturers

kind wigeon
#

not just that

#

intel is actually way cheaper than amd on the laptop scale

quasi geyser
#

Oh I didn’t know that

kind wigeon
#

they offer skues of their CPUs that are much cheaper

#

and is stil incredibly new to the laptop game

fathom bear
#

Their laptop cpus are pretty bad tbh

kind wigeon
#

but cheaper

spice prawn
#

@quasi geyser intel didnt loose the market, they didnt hold their side of the bargain on the Aurora.

#

(i think that was the name of it at least)

#

(super computer names are silly)

quasi geyser
#

Still, a big hit

spice prawn
#

meh

kind wigeon
#

not really

#

it was probably like what

#

40 million?

#

50 million?

spice prawn
#

its a big hit in the eyes of people that dont have any influence over it really

kind wigeon
#

not a lot compared to the sales they lose to ryzen

quasi geyser
#

But now you give them the experience of AMD
And if the Department of Energy prefers AMD, you have a problem

#

Not the biggest chunk outta their revenue

#

But not good either

kind wigeon
#

it's really small...

#

it's not a big problem there

#

again

#

Personally I’m waiting for someone to break into the professional gpu market

#

Nvidia has been overpricing Quadros for years

spice prawn
#

not really

#

market regulates itself on that front too

#

would you like to know why we have something like a 1500usd card being marketed to gamers?

#

because people have proven time and time again that they are willing to pay that amount

#

its the same exact thing in the professional market

fathom bear
#

That’s true too.

AIB quadros when? Lol

PNY does a number of them

Im wondering, Is it worth upgrading from my rtx 2060 to a 3070?

spice prawn
#

very different performance segments

lone pond
#

Do yall know if there’s gonna be any 3080s tomorrow?

#

Or is it only the 3070?

fathom bear
#

We don’t know

#

Thursday has been a common drop for 3080 though

lone pond
#

3080 dropped at bestbuy today as well

#

But of course it’s all gone

#

Cause i was planning to go to microcenter tomorrow

#

To get 3080s

#

Seems like im not going anymore

proper jungle
#

@fathom bear yes it’s from micro center

#

Who’s gettin the new Radeon 6000 series

quasi geyser
#

I’ll consider the 6800

#

I want to see third party benchmarks first though

ripe elk
#

depends on ray tracing performance/price

#

Is the 1060 6gb better than the rx 580 8gb

#

Which card is better between the gtx 1650 4gb, 1060 6gb, or the rx 580 8gb

quasi geyser
#

Based on benchmarks, the 1060 6gb and rx 580 are pretty much tied performance wise.

#

The 580 has a much lower MSRP, too.

#

So it comes down to personal preference and price

#

The 1650 lags behind both by a considerable amount, but it’s also a little cheaper

stoic folio
#

Would it be stupid to buy a rtx 3070

fathom bear
#

So much for msrp

#

Newegg posted their cards

spice prawn
#

this is imo VERY VERY bad form from nvidia

#

and yes, i know, the links are not updated with stock yet

#

but cards before reviews?

#

not cool

fathom bear
#

Reviews will probably drop an hour before launch tomorrow

#

By that time people will have made their minds up anyway

spice prawn
#

yes, quite likely (re: review timeline)

#

and imo, that is not in the best interest of the consumers

quasi geyser
#

Any chance those price hikes are just temporary in an attempt to throw off scalpers?

fathom bear
#

It looks like it's just b and h

#

Newegg is cheaper for those same cards

#

Man I know nothing about these brands smh

#

Strix is almost as much as 3080

clear frigate
#

Dang

quasi geyser
#

I’m sure that’ll drop eventually

#

Bc at that point just get a 3080

fathom bear
#

Maybe. But you can't get a strix 3080 for $700 either.

spice prawn
#

except, where is the availability?

#

and that question is going to be heard/seen a LOT from now on

clear frigate
#

imagine them actually being transparent about availability i could only dream

fathom bear
#

"Last one!"

quasi geyser
#

Supply vs demand, of course
The fact that they’re priced that high makes me think they don’t have too many of them

#

I mean who expected them to anyway lmao

fathom bear
#

There's no one click for best buy is there?

clear frigate
#

which ones neweggs prices seem pretty normal with the exception of a few

agile parrot
#

B & h was like that with the 3080s as well

fathom bear
#

Yeah I'm not sure why they listed cards more than once. Different boost clocks maybe?

agile parrot
#

Idk why they have the prices higher

#

But they were all backorder for 3080 at launch, so maybe it's the same

fathom bear
#

lol @ this

inner falcon
#

o_o

#

they ment to put 3080 right lol

quasi geyser
#

Can these scalpers not wait for it to drop lmao

fathom bear
#

No those are 3070s

quasi geyser
#

Who’s gonna buy a preorder?

inner falcon
#

ik

quasi geyser
#

No guarantee it’s actually gonna be filled

inner falcon
#

someone bid 10k please

#

teach them a lesson

agile parrot
#

I hate bots

fathom bear

I don't think bots will be as much of an issue, but who knows.
