Still waiting on my EVGA 3070 email -_-
gentle narwhal
i wonder when 3070 is coming back out on nvidia's website...
violet mortar
Its annoying how they bump the prices up high on standard cards so only rich people can buy em
tender mulch
wut
violet mortar
I see alotta cards that cost 1k especially in the 2080 range
Even though their average price is lower
Still pretty high tho
tender mulch
I mean, 3070 $500 pricing for 2080 level performance is pretty cheap
violet mortar
Hm
tender mulch
3060 at $399 is a bargain too considering last gen pricing performance
Just gotta be patient and wait for stock to come back
violet mortar
Mhm
Only thing is that once it comes back it'll get taken by bots or a lot of people that are also wanting the gpu
tender mulch
Nah
violet mortar
All in all my goal for graphics cards are just a 2060 ti or a 3080 ti
violet mortar
Think its the 2060 ti idk if its a different version
Seriously?
I thought it was fairly good
tender mulch
I mean, it's OK. Should have gone 2070 though. Keep in mind this is my perspective
violet mortar
Hm ok
tender mulch
In the current market it's 100% a waste of money
Just be patient and wait for 3000 series stock
Don't buy anything 2000 series now
violet mortar
In my eyes its really good since i only have a gtx 650
shy forge
is the 3070 or 3080 better for 1080p
tender mulch
Honestly. Get a 1660 super instead. Ray Tracing is poop on a 2060 and performance wise a 1660 super is within spitting distance.
For 1080P? 3060TI
3070 for 1440P
3080 for 4K
shy forge
the 3080 would kick 10080 really good
tender mulch
3080 is a complete waste of money for 1080p
shy forge
why
tender mulch
Because it maxes out games and runs out of FPS
3080 should only be used for 1440P and up
Save your hard earned money, get a 3060TI
shy forge
what do you mean it maxes out the games
split storm
dude those EVGA emails are gunna take forever to get through
the queues are waaay long
tender mulch
The ONLY time you should get a 3080 for 1080p is if you plan to buy a 4K monitor soon
cursive canopy
or to get 720p o.O do they even make 720p monitors???
tender mulch
Yes, surprisingly enough
shy forge
wouldnt it be better to go 3080 for 1080 if i plan on streaming
split storm
it depends on what you're streaming, but you probably don't need that much extra power
shy forge
im gonna be doing primarily cod
tender mulch
MAYBE a 3070 if you're feeling rich
split storm
like I guess if you're streaming a game on max with raytracing in 1440 or 4k then yeah you'd want 3080 or higher
tender mulch
Use nVenc encoding, hardly any FPS hit, better quality than AMD
Still so few games that use RT, not worth the investment yet. Focus on FPS for now.
cursive canopy
i really wanted a 3070.. but 3060ti will work for what I need it.... I keep hearing folks on FB and other social media they are getting cards out in like batches...
velvet nebula
3070 would probably be the highest end you would need, also what cpu are u using cuz a 3080 can bottleneck alot of cpus unless their pretty high end
tender mulch
There is literally no need for a 3080 at 1080p gaming. It's an absolute waste of money
Keep the hard earned skrilla in your pocket
shy forge
i was thinking a newer i7 or i9 or maybe even a ryzen 5000 series if i can get one
tender mulch
Ryzen 5K if you can
cursive canopy
i have two 1080p monitors, nothing fancy just 60hz... but plan on getting a gaming one when funds are available.. 1080p on high will be nice tho...
shy forge
i want good frames witha decent quality
cursive canopy
that will be a nice change.... just need a new PSU
shy forge
ig i dont understand as to why the 3080 isnt good for 1080
split storm
yeah 3060 is like one of the best values
cursive canopy
for a 400 dollar card, with 8gb ... i'm happy.. coming from 1050ti, I will enjoy it for a while
split storm
3080 is a waste of money if you're only doing 1080p
way stronger than you would ever need at that resolution, unless you're planning on upgrading your monitor and stuff soon
cursive canopy
3080 1440p-4k IMO
tender mulch
because it's a waste of money for 1080p. Only thing it's good for at that point is burning money and bragging you have one
velvet nebula
yeah, hes right, i run a 3080 and that has the power to run 4k on ultra in cod ~120 fps. A 3060ti would be able to do that on 1080 with ease.
cursive canopy
3090 = bragging rights on 1080 lol
tender mulch
I mean, the 2060TI will do 54 FPS at 4K in Horizon Zero Dawn
random walrus
if you have 144hz a 3080 isnt neccesarily a bad choice but 3070 is probably better
winter dagger
yeah, hes right, i run a 3080 and that has the power to run 4k on ultra in cod ~...
Dam that's good at 4k
It'll do 210 at 1440p
shy forge
so should i look at 1440
tender mulch
If you're dead set on a 3080, you need 4K. Go big or go home
cursive canopy
1440 monitor is where I am looking at...
shy forge
im gonna be doing competitive cod on it
velvet nebula
yeah its a beast, granted i got the evga ftw3 so one of the higher end 3080s but im loving it so far
random walrus
choose resolution and refresh rate before components
winter dagger
so should i look at 1440
If you're gonna do 1440p no need for a 3080 logically. Get a 3070
split storm
resolution won't give you any advantage competitively
cursive canopy
evga = good stuff.. i've bought evga graphic cards for a while.. have yet to have one fail on me... well, i remember an 8800gts that did fail.. but ehhh
random walrus
resolution won't give you any advantage competitively
depends on the game
split storm
he's talking CoD
i don't think you can see extra with higher res?
I mean even if you could it would be on the edge of your periphery and probably not make much difference
winter dagger
he's talking CoD
Yeah resolution won't change anything 1080p and up as far as competitiveness goes
cursive canopy
but will a 3060ti run a 32-34" monitor well? i'd like an ultra wide in due time instead of 2 seperate monitors
random walrus
yeah not gonna get much in cod because most sights have magnification
split storm
and like, any advantage from refresh rate or anything else is lost in ping
random walrus
and like, any advantage from refresh rate or anything else is lost in ping
NO

3060 TI, Warzone, 1440P, Max Settings RTX on is 97 FPS. Turn off RT and it gets even better.
it's plenty or a 3070
split storm
lol
winter dagger
but will a 3060ti run a 32-34" monitor well? i'd like an ultra wide in due time ...
It will run an ultra wide better than the two monitors because it will be relaying thru 1 cable instead of 2

thank you @winter dagger

etna do you use 144hz?
winter dagger
thank you <@!708870603142070293>
np
split storm
you can have google fiber and still end up with like 40 ping because of the route the data takes between you and the servers
I do yeah
random walrus
the diffrence from 60 -> 144 is definitely an advantage
split storm
ultimately it doesn't make me play any better
cursive canopy
and if you have a lot of hops, connection will just be ehhhhh maybe with a good VPN??
split storm
and the game servers themselves still run at whatever tickrate
tender mulch
Man, 60 FPS vs 144. 144 is soooooo smooth
random walrus
even 120 is soo nice
split storm
doesn't matter if my monitor refreshes at 144hz when the game servers run at 60 or something
split storm
it's placebo at best
velvet nebula
yeah the jump from 60hz to 144 is massive
shy forge
so the 3080 would be the best if i could upgrade the monitor as well
winter dagger
Yeah more hz is better because with v-sync off there will be much less tearing
brisk flame
i cant play on a 60hz monitor anymore, 144 and 240 have ruined it for me
velvet nebula
lmao true
shy forge
because i am really wanting a 240 hz
split storm
maybe for some games you could have like, your client process data and show the enemy before the server says the enemy is there?
cursive canopy
3080 best IMO
split storm
but I highly doubt it
brisk flame
maybe for some games you could have like, your client process data and show the ...
i dont think you understand what a high refresh rate monitor does
split storm
no i'm saying it doesn't do that
random walrus
set your monitor to 60 hz and see how much worse you perform
split storm
and that could maybe be the only positive but I seriously doubt any game does that
shy forge
so if i end up with a 240 hz monitor would it still be bad for a 3080
split storm
lol
tender mulch
Just buy the 3080 and spend your money
brisk flame
and that could maybe be the only positive but I seriously doubt any game does th...
you have clearly never sat in front of a 120hz+ monitor...
split storm
I'm sitting in front of one right now
cursive canopy
3080 plugged into a small console screen = win!
brisk flame
and its insanely smooth
winter dagger
A 3080 with a 1440p 60hz monitor will tear worse than a 2070 with a 1080p 45hz monitor
brisk flame
and feels so much better
split storm
it's smooth and looks nice, yes, but it doesn't magically make the game servers give you data any faster
random walrus
I'm sitting in front of one right now
set it to 60 and see how much harder it is to track enemies
brisk flame
it's smooth and looks nice, yes, but it doesn't magically make the game servers ...
that was never the point
tender mulch
That's not the point
velvet nebula
honestly, if you have a 60hz monitor it would be much more worth it to get a new monitor even before you buy a gpu, even if your running like a 1060, or even a 900 series, a new gpu would make a ton less difference in terms of good looks then a 144hz 1440p monitor
split storm
it's not much harder
it looks worse and less smooth, but ultimately it doesn't make a huge difference
winter dagger
So it's best to match your Hz with the capability of your card to reduce tearing
velvet nebula
yuh
winter dagger
Because tearing in competitive games is most likely to f you up
tender mulch
That's a fact
cursive canopy
and that whole freesync/gsync thing.. most monitors will allow gsync from what I've read/seen... so even smoother game play
split storm
for sure, tearing is pretty awful
winter dagger
Or use Freesync or Gsync
well if you are playing competitively you need more fps
brisk flame
most 144hz+ monitors support freesync
tender mulch
Not discounting that
random walrus
set vsync to "fast" in nvidia control panel, its great

random walrus
use freesync or gsync
my monitor doesnt have gsync and using freesync makes it flicker n stuff
winter dagger
@tender mulch That's why you should match your cards cababilities with the hz of the monitor so that if you choose not to run v-sync, g-sync, etc. the monitor will be able to keep up with the card and in turn reduce tearing
brisk flame
my monitor doesnt have gsync and using freesync makes it flicker n stuff
which monitor is it?
running gsync on freesync monitors can be tricky, but in my experience its worked fine
random walrus
tender mulch
It does for most of them
Some freesync is still spoopy though but few and far between
random walrus
it gave me flickering when I tried
maybe software updates have improved it since I last tried though
brisk flame
yeah, thats happened to me before, make sure its set to only use gsync when using a fullscreen application
tender mulch
Yes

Oops, this is the GPU channel, we should stick with that

See you can get an i9 10th gen and a 3080 for 2400 dollars
You have to wait until they get a 3080 in stock tho
tender mulch
Why does that seem expensive for what it it though
winter dagger
Hmm
Not necisarilly
It's actually a decent deal
There's I think a 200 dollar uplift

that looks like 0 airflow total
no intake except the aio air

that looks like 0 airflow total
Yeah most pre-builts are choked

1899 for a 3070 500-600 bucks there.. so 1299 for CPU, MB, case, AIO cooler, M.2??? O.O
oh and PS
arctic phoenix
cpu is 350$, mb should be 150, case is 50 at best, aio is 70, m.2 is 130, psu 100, ram 50
tender mulch
Yup, goes away in a hurry
arctic phoenix
overcharging about 500$
tender mulch
PC PArtpicker it
arctic phoenix
all manufacturers buy windows keys in bulk
tender mulch
So you can see what the parts really cost
I'm doing it RN
Already at 1K without a GPU price or PSU price
So yeah, it's worth the money
cursive canopy
i am too, same without GPU price
and PSU i picked the 109 one
seems a lot of gigabyte parts
tender mulch
it's a gigabyte 750 W
No price listed
1100 with Windows 10
dd in 500 for vid card, that's 1600
100-150 for PSU, call it 1750
Seems pretty good deal for a prebuilt and the parts included
Gold PSU too
arctic phoenix
well if you wanted those specific parts lol
cursive canopy
yeah, i'm shocked with good parts and stuff
tender mulch
I did
cursive canopy
it's a nice white build...
tender mulch
To see what the prebuilt cost vs what it costs yourself
You'd be surprised how MSRP the parts are in the prebuilt vs what you get
It's really changed the last couple years
cursive canopy
i mentioned a custom build place, and he bought one from there... had some issues with those 5600 or 5700 card.. had to ship entire thing back.. and got a 2070s upgrade free...
tender mulch
Can you do better with different parts? Absolutely. But always check the parts included vs PCPartpicker or something to see how much they're making. It won't be much
cursive canopy
and he's happy now...
tender mulch
See? There ya go, customer service on top of it
arctic phoenix
lmao
tender mulch
and he didn't have to lift a finger
arctic phoenix
they buy this stuff in bulk
tender mulch
It's a good value for those that don't want to build themselves
cursive canopy
yeah, I was looking into buying from them too, but I just enjoy building the PC myself....
tender mulch
me too
arctic phoenix
the AIO is oem
tender mulch
That's the whole fun, building it yourself and watching it work
Yeah, it's a Deepcool AIO
To match the Deepcool case
cursive canopy
only thing, the 700w PSU I bought when I built the other computer 8+ years ago.. really isn't a true 700w :/
arctic phoenix
lots of these parts are much cheaper when bought in bulk at low prices
directly from manufacturer
tender mulch
Everything is cheaper when bought in bulk
That's how they make their money now instead of being more expensive than DIY
cursive canopy
yeah, that 1899 one linked above, probably cost them 7-900 bucks to build
rest is profit since they buy in bulk so much
arctic phoenix
close to 500
tender mulch
Maybe $400
arctic phoenix
no way
cursive canopy
it was a rough very rough estimate on profit...
tender mulch
Figure 20-25% discount on the parts, that's a typical manufacturers MSRP to retailers
arctic phoenix
no way they only make 400$
tender mulch
No way they're getting the parts for 50% off MSRP
Don't care how much bulk they buy, 30% tops
arctic phoenix
windows key less than a dollar per key when bought in huge amounts
thats an extra 100 per build
cursive canopy
think that is where they make some of their profit...
cursive canopy
if ya doing 1-2 computers a month.. yeah no discount for you lol
tender mulch
Yup. I highly doubt these places are doing more than 150-200 PC's per month. Realistically probably 100 is a fair number
cursive canopy
may not be high end PC's but they must sell regular ones too
tender mulch
I'm just being generic, the number will fluctuate of course. And I'm not talking about companies like Dell and HP
More like CyberPower, etc

Tip to everyone here. you might not believe me but if you want to get a card during a restock use Firefox. at 8est when i was trying to get a 3060 nothing was showing up, i went on firefox and they were all there and now I have a 3060.

Or use the app. I got one the first time I used the app after weeks of using chrome

will there be a 3060 non ti model?

probably not
dawn plover
perhaps
drowsy owl
the 3060 ti is already cheap as is
dawn plover
the 1660ti did come before the 1660s and 1660, so i wouldn't be surprised to see a normal 3060
drowsy owl
true
terse bloom
If you're looking for $300, you might as well buy used or an older model. 3060ti is only 25% better than a 1080(non-ti), and probably sells for around that much.
I mean, $300 for a 1080, if you can't afford $400 for 3060ti
drowsy owl
Is their a bottle neck with the 3600x and the 3080
dawn plover
the 3060ti competes with the 2080s so if you can find a cheap 2080s, go with that
drowsy owl
i think there is but idk how big of a bottle neck it is
dawn plover
Is their a bottle neck with the 3600x and the 3080
it depends, and even then, it won't be a superior bottleneck

3000

3080?

Yeah, 3080 gives you the most bang for your buck.
fossil talon
3070/80 if you have the money

I would probably get a 3070 because it is soo cheap for the performance, but like so is the 3080...
golden scaffold
You should have the money for 3070 if you're wanting to upgrade tbh

Yea, that's why I'm upgrading my 3070FE to 3080

fossil talon
Yes

That's a very nice

I can tell you right now. Starting from a 1080.
3070 will give you a 50% FPS increase
3080 will give you a 100% FPS increase for $200 more

wow that works out
fossil talon
I couldn't get the 3080 at release so I backordered for two months. I got confirmed shipment of 3080 Gigabyte Vision on the Dec 3rd and I got confirmed shipment of 3080 Suprim on Dec 12th
Memory Express (Equivalent to Microcenter) backorders
icy cove
wow, you are lucky
golden scaffold
So backordering is the way to go I suppose
fossil talon
Yep long wait but it is what it is
fossil talon
Some backorder lists are full and are no longer taking in more people
Hence "out of stock"
terse bloom
Cause there's no ETA, so you won't hear anything on delivery until it actually ships.

And some websites and stores actually charge a little extra too. Maybe $100 extra

There's so many people who have everything but can't build until they have their GPUs, their parts are laying there essentially
