For bots im assuming
After the 3080 disaster I wouldn't blame them
Yeah probably so they don’t get the page ids etc
It's coming out tommorow
OH
harder to tell a bot to watch a page if it isnt publicly know yet
I want to buy
Yeah definitely for bots then
I hope I don't have to have fast hands to get a card
Why the app?
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
Newegg said half the buyers used the app
Oh wow
microcenter and best buy are the only ones for fe cards if thats what you want
got me that bestbuy and newegg app
I want the asus dual oc
microcenter is like nowhere
ikr
I have one like 30 minutes from me
they only have like 20 stores
how many of you trying to get 3070
Me
These new AMD GPU's
So worth the wait
aye
i have one 5 hours away
Oh I moved my GPU's around, time to update my Specs
ik
do you recommend me buy PNY dual fan 3070?
i have no money so i cant buy the 3070 yet 😦
Much better
if you can get an asus or FE one do it
Imma get me that 6900XT for sure
if they release one
So want do I get 3070 or rx 6800
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
Psssh its not ugly
compared to the FE 3000 series it is
FE is deff classier looking
its all metal and its new fan setup is gorgeous
FE was discontinued for the 3080 already though wasn't it?
no
its being sold through best buy
and the 70 fe will be through best buy and microcenter
Ah, they stopped on their own store
i wonder if a 6800xt will run well with Ryzen 7
it does
Never said it didn't, but the 6000 series doesn't look ugly
in comparison to the fe it does
i think at this point you cant go wrong with either they are both 50% better that previous models
Price, preference, and what you are doing.
Do we know if there is going to be something like a 6600xt or should i wait to see if it wont come out
If I can find one
good luck
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.
I don't plan on building my new rig for another few months anyway
Waiting on my tax refund
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
I bought all my parts for my current build during that period where everything was super expensive
I just wanna have a card by december so I am willing to risk it and wait to see more benchmarks and stuff
I mean even if 3070 sells out, you can still try and get an amd card
No kidding
dont know if thats a good thing gives bots a better chance at scooping them up\
Nvidia isn't selling them directly. It doesn't really matter
depends if it updates with a sellers list
true
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
Should I wait for the new amd gpus or just pick up my 3080 in a couple weeks
up to you really but im happy i went with 3080 for the extra features nvidia offers
and what are those extra features (in your mind)?
Rtx, dlss
rtx = that is on the amd side too
Radeon uses directx raytracing which is garbage
so thats a wash
What do you think ned
Not a wash
hahahahaha
Directx raytracing is in warzone
you do know that RTX is based on right?
Yes
as in, what is the actual spec its running right?
:(
Still no dlss
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
Rtx is the better version of that
no, its not
Then why doesn't it actually raytrace like with minecraft or bfv
its just a name for the "implementation" that nvidia uses
which "it" are you talking about there?
The directx raytracing in warzone
Why doesn't that have the same results as in minecraft or bfv
different implementations
again, same.
So what's with dlss
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)
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
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?
lol
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
you mean, the enable/disable shaders in a game?
Yes

____________________...
The geforce experience thats what it's called
geforce experience is the tool for handling the settings for the gpu both in game and out of game.
Does radeon have that or something similar to it
never dealt with that game directly. So i have bugger all idea about that :)
but i dont see why it would not be there.
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
I think the 3070 > 6800, 3080 = 6800XT, and 3090 < 6900XT
that is imo a hack of what the game is supposed to look like.
you misunderstand.
That I don't want my game to boring and gray and I have full control of it?
what he suggests (and what you say you are playing with) is not a setting that is available IN the game.
so, what he does is a "hack" of the visuals of the game
ok i get what you are saying, but i would much rather be able to control what i see and get the better advantage
that part of it is a different talk all together :)
if you were to go radeon you lose that feature
and i am not saying that you cannot feel that
@wanton burrow no argument, just a debate
im not arguing im saying amd radeon doesnt have that feature
that is literally the same thing
and its a big advantage to control the colors and shadows and sharpness like that
nah, he has a viewpoint, i have one. we are talking about the intersections of them.
ok
its called having a talk about a subject.
i have a friend who is color blind and cant make out things in shadows, and warzone is full of some pretty horrible shading
@agile parrot i am very much not a fan of "not done by the game itself" modifications.
but with geforce experience he can tune the game to his advantage so he can see basically through dark shadows and corneres
because i am very much of the opinion that the DEV of the game should be the one to fix that
right they should fix it
if a dev cannot be bothered to fix that... im sorry, but they deserve a good solid slap to the head
lol
(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)
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"
@agile parrot but, back to the GPU features :)
heat transfer
hm?
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
so, if i put a jet engine fan on the COOLER of the gpu, that is a feature of the GPU?
if you offer it as a feature then its a feature right
which in turn makes it a feature because its something it utilizes and is only found in one model
which is using the type of cooler that none of the other manufacturers are.
the usage of the amd 5000 series to unlock the full features of the amd is also isolating its users
need i remind you of G-sync?
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
im saying now, in light of covid
there will be less cpus and gpus
and you need both
and a new mobo
where are the 3080 cards?
^
by the same logic there will be less amd gpus
because they have to focus on cpu and gpu production
the current supply problem for nvidia stems from their choice of Samsung as the foundry
amd is using TSMC as foundry
not saying we cannot talk about this, but unless you know a lot about foundries, you are going to get in trouble
ok well i dont lol
:)
but still the point stands
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?
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
there has to be a limit. I've been waiting for new releases for months now
they are working in CLEAN rooms
they are basically same performance between the two cards
stick with the 3080, if the amd is better resell the 3080
@lone pond jay certainly aint earning himself any favours
but to walk it all the way back
there will be less 3080s until next year because of shortage, so you can resell for most likely at retail
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
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-
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
4.0
guys duel 970's sli or 1050 ti?
i know i was just wondering
i have a 1050 an was offered duel 970s
actually
how much is the 1050ti
200 some?
@copper fern there will be no driver support from january 2021
2060
ahh
yaa
PRICE
...
the 2060 is $40 more expensive
no its a lil more
price isn't a factor here
well for me it is lol
it's whatever fits in the budget
yeah
not 'oh this is best price to performance'
ill get money its ok
bruh it's fine- whatever ur budget is, stick to that
you're just saying whats better in general?
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
price is a big factor for some lol
if it isn't in the budget, don't include it in the conversation
bruhhh
don't talk about it
he never said his budget
and the 2060 is over
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
oh yeah, thanks for pointing out the other ups
thx guys
and teaching me instead of the downtalk like someone else
@agile parrot thank you for being openminded :) and you are very welcome :)
ill be back when the cards drop hehehe
:)
going to be interesting to see what happens first
amd cards arriving on shelves or nvidia cards
How :)
What are the prices
the 3070 equivalent is $80 more on amd side
what's happening
3080 equivalent is $50 cheaper on amd side
3090 equivalent is $400 cheaper on amd side
Opps
my bad yeah
3090 is still very viable for people who actually need the 24 GB of VRAM smh
Wtf
relax on the hyping of yourself people.
Yeah
I guess that's cool but if you're not gaming 4k then...
ty man
performance of the games seems to be around even so far
wait for 3rd person party reviews ffs
dude
wait for 3rd person party reviews ffs
no need for that language @wanton burrow
fun police has arrived 🚨
sorry
but yeah we wont know until the reviews drop
^
ty
it could be good on paper but still have driver issues
or it could preform worse in real scenarios
Why did u say not for 4k
also, it does not serve anyone to hype it up to silly levels :)
all this hardware stuff is just hurry up and wait
yes i was bringing @fluid star up to speed since he asked what they showed
aye aye :)
Wait for reviews wait for launch wait for reveal
mhmm
Whats the launced time
Release dates and times
RTX 3080: Sep. 17th 6am PT
RTX 3090: Sep. 24th 6am PT
RTX 3070: Oct 29th 6am PT
@fathom bear people dont read the pins

You didn't specify
Is there a significant difference in gddr6 and r6x?
7nm 16 gb pretty enough for gamers i think
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.
heres the source https://www.hardwaretimes.com/whats-the-difference-between-ddr4-vs-gddr5-vs-gddr6-vs-gddr6x/#:~:text=While GDDR6 has a burst,higher operating frequency on GDDR6X.
it boils down to differences in what the specific GPU architectures "need"
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?
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)
ok thx
Auto HDR? :O
Just need a 3070 🤞

Will I be fine with a 650 power supply with a rx 6800
Reason: Bad word usage
😦
isnt it jsut better to over speck anyways
to some degree, yes
a lot of the builds that come through here (that people post/ask about) are however over spec in a way that makes no logical sense
example: pay 150usd for a board that is good/decent at overclocking, in a machine that will be used for browsing the web and nothing else?
that is just a silly choice
someone knows what’s the best under 100$, air cooling for ryzen 5 5000 series ?
holy link paste @fathom bear :)
https://www.amazon.com/quiet-Dark-Rock-BK022-Cooler/dp/B07BY6F8D9 <- we prefer the links like this instead :)
Sorry my link exploded lol
:)
Anything noctua will be good, even the inbox cooler isnt bad depending on what you're doing
I have the U12S and I can vouch that it's extremely quiet and a decent cooler for my i7
The NH-D15 cools more effectively, but it's larger.
😄
😄


❓ 😄
wait for benchmarks 🙂
nah just plug it in and hope
lmao
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
fallen, im an nvidia fanboy
@crisp ocean My thoughts exactly. Also rn it doesn't look like the extra $80 is worth the performance boost
Comparing the 6800 to the 3070 in price, and the 2080 ti in performance
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
I plan on getting mine a couple months from now anyway lol
im gonna do it wothout bots cause i cant program
im building my pc in december, the GPU is the only part Im buying soon because the lack of stock
The only bot you can really use is one that manually refreshes the page
i manually refreash the page. am i the bot 
@crisp ocean I'm building mine around February (I get my tax refund), I feel like the stock will be more stable by then
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
Congrays on leveling up
@crisp ocean I'm building mine around February (I get my tax refund), I feel like the stock will be more stable by then
@quasi geyser Thats understandable
i dont have a pc so i want to build mine as fast as possible
That's exactly how I felt when I built my first rig
I hardly did any research. The mobo died within like six months
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
what is a mobo?
motherboard
Motherboard
oh
Stay away from Asrock, especially their cheaper boards
i bit the bullet and bought a x570
i mean.. nvidia is to much secrete sauce these days tbh
I buy from corsair, asus, and msi mainly
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BpYV68 this could def be cheaper but im willing to pay extra for brands im cofortable with
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
TUF vs. ROG Strix
okay atleast don't pay $100 for windows
I won't lol
what alternates for windows are there?
ill buy a code or transfer my license from my laptop to my pc
Who pays for windows lmao
windows is free kitsune
code from 3rd party*
can activate it for like 2 bucks with an ebay key
im debating weather 6900xt or 6800xt + upgrading to new ryzen 5000 from my 3900x
yea u can get windows 10 pro keys for 10 dollars all over the place
Whats a good website for a key?
e-bay like dwella said im guessing
The only one I know is Kinguin but I've heard it's absolute garbage
I've never used it
"100% FAST DELIVERY"
how long u think gonna take till 3070 gonna get on stock ?
after tomorrow
Goes on sale 6 am Pacific time
yea im saying after tomorrow
Oh god who knows
i will be on my phone spamming add to cart
lol
while in school
lol
all i gotta do is remember my parents credit card info
spam add to cart
and order
I don't plan to buy my 3070 for a couple months so I'm just gonna sit back and watch the chaos unfold
lol
oof im getting really confused with my credit card
cause its mastercard
but in israel
so idk if newegg gonna support that 😦
newegg?
It should
can i get the newegg link @frigid loom
early 2021 things should be fine
imagine you get one and it doesnt ship till mid 2021
Don't worry, you'll always have scalpers selling it for the low low price of your left kidney
Reason: Bad word usage
how about my right kidney?
That works too
bruh
you'll get the gpu you want in the end folks
^
yes
you'll get the gpu you want in the end folks
@fervent obsidian what does that mean
nvidia just gonna rush it
also when you add to cart does that SECURE your order
the msrp of 3070 is 500$ right?
what do you think it means
or im wrong
no
it doesnt
you need to buy it
oh so you have to rush through checkout
how much then?
oh ok
u have to press checkout
3070 is 499 msrp
to actually have it
bruh
yeah. kinda problematic
1$ difference lol
also if i dont get the 3070 ill try for the 6800
but didnt amd have problems with their gpus?
its coming down to preference really. We dont know if there is any problems till reviews
aight
Which, conveniently, are sparse for the 3070 and nonexistent for the 6800 (obviously)
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.
3070 is a good 1440p or ultra wide card it seems
should i spam add to cart or just click add to cart once?
Use the app
im gonna do it once
ik im using the app
as to not glitch it
how to buy an rtx 3070.

@lone pond facts
Idk if I would follow that
you can hope, but I wouldn't expect to get one until early next year
geeze
For the 3080, even though they sold out in "minutes" the servers were so inundated you couldn't even do anything
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
availability is just going to be silly now
prices will change, parts will go and come from stock
bruh
by christmas time
@swift glade ??
IK THAT
the only thing we can do
then what r u talking about 'tmrw' xD
Another thing you can try is get on ebay and take a look at used listings
do it all together.
THE 3070 RELEASE
He just wants to secure the bag
When people get 3070s, they will sell their old gpus
ok
that's hilarious bruh
no
I believe in you 👍
never support scalpers
I didn't say send us your ebay tracking
??
or any others
fe probably
all of them
FE
but they'll all go
BRO SHUT UP ANTAGO
It's the only card with reviews
fe will just go first
aight
@swift glade calm. down.
no
xD I know what i'm talking about, in case you don't know
Just use Apple Pay
i'm telling you- every one of them is going to be clicked the same amount. it doesn't matter- use apple pay if you want it first
i already have my credit card and adress for default
Amazon oneclick
ur not getting one xDDDD
i'm not even going to try and look at 3070s until like two weeks- a month later lmao
3070 is going to be a bit better stock wise I should think
I agree
@fathom bear they aren't on amazon, are they
They will be
???? how is he supposed to send a link if they will be
well not on launch they won't be
????
There probably will be, but they likely won't release it at the same time as everyone else
Amazon is smart
source: guys trust me
NVIDIA RTX 3080 Series full in stock history. View this page to find when and where the NVIDIA RTX 3080 Series has been in stock in the recent past.
"this store does not sell things"
Right, Amazon exclusively sells Amazon Basics products
Actually it doesn't look like they sold any
Except for "preorders"
That were probably reversed
On launch day?
Looks like they did, unless I'm reading the list wrong
View this page to find when the RTX 3080 ASUS TUF-RTX3080-O10G-GAMING has been in stock at Amazon in the recent past.
on... launch day?
On Amazon?
lol imagine getting heated in a pc parts discord server
someone bought the card on the launch date. and resold it on amazon.
Like I'll just call you out dude, cut the holier-than-thou attitude
honestly and I thought general chat was dumb 
both of you should consider taking a deep breath and calming down
and there is NO excuse for talking like that.
says u naed xD
behave like decent human beings and others will behave too
says u naed
I dont ever call people names
Antago but Angery
i help if people ask.
So what should i have as a backup for when i cant get a 3070?
Wait or buy something else?
Honestly, I would just wait
Those are your options
AMD is just around the corner, and the used market will get better too.
So what should i have as a backup for when i cant get a 3070?
@lone pond facts
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
Resolution? Gsync? Freesync?
8gb is plenty of VRAM for 1440p
hey guys whats the best graphics car dto pair with i7 7700k?
Ok
But it's really up to you
@viral fossil Current or upcoming?
I was wondering
I don't know. That's speculation. I think they've got an advantage using their 5000 series cpus
Yea
And your monitor?
1080p 144hz
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
?
?
meh
3070 launches tomorrow. You probably won't get one, but that would be a good pairing
Yea
tell that to rtx 2080ti and 3080
Thx for the help
This RTX 3070 review is going to be different. It'll have the usual RTX 3070 Founders Edition price, availability, gaming benchmarks, performance, power consumption and temperature testing but we also wanted to address the upgrade question. Will an older system be able to av...
For 7700k benchmarks
no, it doesnt.
This is the gpu channel, suggest you go over to the build channel
@narrow ledge just try to build one urself its cheaper just make sure u have supervision'
but have patience, and someone will get to you sooner or later
build channel I'm think
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
what would be the "right price"
@narrow ledge then ask again in 1½ month
and would it game well at 1440p 70fps?
Less than $400 maybe
It's similar to 2070 super with more vram
Then don't buy 1080ti
for new either 1660ti or stuck with 2000 series, or get lucky on a 3070
2080 super or 30 series
@fathom bear did u build your PC?
ik
@kind wigeon yes
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
What did you pair
im very embarrassed about it
@viral fossil
Not bad, still better then integrated
that's an ok pair
...
Yeahh
for a cpu that old, it's fine
not for my uses
Damnnn niceee
I7-7700 with a rtx 2070, gotta upgrade my CPU to an 11th gen I9 when it comes out
im upgrading my pc piece by piece because i want to actually be a content creator
Ohh nice!
went from a 3570k to a 9900k 3 months ago 😛
@high patio why not get 4th gen ryzen?
but i dont want to make money off of it i just want to make people smile
u have to swap mobo anyways
it gives me joy when people smile
I don't know, I'll have to wait and see the performance to price difference
mk
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
bruh -_-
as of right now
4th gen ryzen is the best at gaming
gaming is ALL ABOUT single threaded performance
honestly
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
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
11th gen intel isn't coming out for another 16 months
@kind wigeon
"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
Future proof
@wicked hound bc 'it's the best at gaming' even tho there aren't benchmarks
And it was cheap
Supposedly 5600x is going to have a rocking single core though
it is
According to passmark it is
wait till it releases -_-
@kind wigeon What CPU do you have?
I can’t watch Linus lol
10980xe is my favorite cpu 
Okk but why do you guys hate intel that much, everyone knows that the 10th gen was only a place filler/holder
??
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
don't get me wrong, intel makes good cpus
Does anyone know exactly what time the 3070 can be purchased
but their crappy cheapouts, and almost monopoloptic behavior is gross
9 AM EST
Intel acts like a monopoly when they’re far from it
@kind wigeon AMD would do the same thing
@kind wigeon AMD would do the same thing
@fathom bear how so
amd decided to keep the same socket for 5 years
amd decided to INCLUDE a GOOD cooler, helping budget customers
they don't 'own the market'
very far from it
AMD did anything they could to offset performance of intel
that's called competition
Kk im also undecided on if i should wait to get a 6800 or a 3080 just hate waiting hah
and competition is good, it drives down prices and increases performance
They won’t keep the same socket for another 5 years. They own the market.
They don’t have to.
do you know what 'own the market' means?
@atomic tangle Waiting is hard, but it’s best. Third party benchmarks are key
I know sold my 2080 and now im like ugghhh
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
The 3080 looks good by AMD’s specs, because of course you won’t show off garbage specs at your launch event
6800*
Tell me what prebuilt or laptop consumer cares about the socket
Or the cooler
It’s a different market.
@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
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.
If you want a new cpu, you are buying AMD.
do you want them to... stop making and improving cpus?
You have one option
that's false
most laptops use intel
most prebuilt non gaming and a large portion of gaming ones use intel chips
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.
no. but they aren't a monopoly
they are a competing business
and competition is the best thing for the consumer
@fathom bear the segment you are looking at currently is only consumer
both amd and intel are so much more than that
They’re losing server market share too.
yes yes
intel wont buckle for a number of years, even IF they dont have anything on the horizon.
Just because a company is starting to edge out competetion, doesn't make them a monopoly
Intel lost the supercomputer market too. The United States’ next supercomputer is slated to use AMD iirc
intel still dominates the laptop industry. by a lot. gl finding a laptop under 500$ without an intel cpu
I can see why, change is the enemy of prebuilt/laptop manufacturers
Oh I didn’t know that
they offer skues of their CPUs that are much cheaper
and is stil incredibly new to the laptop game
Their laptop cpus are pretty bad tbh
but cheaper
@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)
Still, a big hit
meh
its a big hit in the eyes of people that dont have any influence over it really
not a lot compared to the sales they lose to ryzen
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
Personally I’m waiting for someone to break into the professional gpu market
Nvidia has been overpricing Quadros for years
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
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?
very different performance segments
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
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
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
Would it be stupid to buy a rtx 3070
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
Reviews will probably drop an hour before launch tomorrow
By that time people will have made their minds up anyway
yes, quite likely (re: review timeline)
and imo, that is not in the best interest of the consumers
Any chance those price hikes are just temporary in an attempt to throw off scalpers?
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
Dang
Maybe. But you can't get a strix 3080 for $700 either.
except, where is the availability?
and that question is going to be heard/seen a LOT from now on
imagine them actually being transparent about availability i could only dream
"Last one!"
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
There's no one click for best buy is there?
which ones neweggs prices seem pretty normal with the exception of a few
B & h was like that with the 3080s as well
Yeah I'm not sure why they listed cards more than once. Different boost clocks maybe?
Idk why they have the prices higher
But they were all backorder for 3080 at launch, so maybe it's the same
Can these scalpers not wait for it to drop lmao
No those are 3070s
Who’s gonna buy a preorder?
ik
No guarantee it’s actually gonna be filled
I hate bots
I don't think bots will be as much of an issue, but who knows.
