And I have holidays

#

Imma be bored af

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

in US we can play both sides go to the manufacturer or the seller consumers choice

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

God I love capitalism

arctic bluff Dec 17, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

@hard wren i have to send it to them which will take 3 to 5 days. Then they have to test it which will take a while. Then they have to send it to sapphire for them to fix it or replace. Then send it back to the company. And then back to me

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 2:52 AM

#

yeah thats silly

arctic bluff Dec 17, 2020, 2:52 AM

#

@hard wren i mean some brands you can go either in uk

#

Ik

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 2:52 AM

#

should always have a choice

warped osprey Dec 17, 2020, 2:52 AM

#

is a 1660 good for vr?

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 2:52 AM

#

sure

arctic bluff Dec 17, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

Depends what settings

warped osprey Dec 17, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

low to mid

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

and what headset but mostly yeah

arctic bluff Dec 17, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

Its been so fustrating for me

warped osprey Dec 17, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

rift s and index

arctic bluff Dec 17, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

Continous crashing

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

not going to be great on the pimax

arctic bluff Dec 17, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

Me thinking its the drivers

#

So i was like: imma wait till new driver updates

#

And the gpu was like: NOPE!

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 2:54 AM

#

drivers are always the first thing to check since its the easiest and you always hope its driver conflict

arctic bluff Dec 17, 2020, 2:54 AM

#

Very true

#

So far i had a bad experience with pc's

fallow narwhal Dec 17, 2020, 2:55 AM

#

My gpu isnt working a d I had to get the box out of the dumpster.

arctic bluff Dec 17, 2020, 2:55 AM

#

I had a xfx 580 before

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 2:55 AM

#

is the pc in an upstairs room?

arctic bluff Dec 17, 2020, 2:55 AM

#

Same memory issue

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

This is Doom Eternal, 1440p, max possible settings:

#

📎 unknown.png

arctic bluff Dec 17, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

@hard wren me?

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

this is actual VRAM used

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

@arctic bluff yep

arctic bluff Dec 17, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

No

#

Down stairs

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

so the game allocated 8GB, and used a whole 7 GB on 1440p!

arctic bluff Dec 17, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

Wtf

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

cuz if its really dry or hot where you are that would explain gpu deaths or you are just unlucky

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

So 10gb is more then enough

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

what hot?

arctic bluff Dec 17, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

I mean its a cool room

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

what temps has to do with anything?

#

both my GPU and CPU are under water. We are talking about VRAM here, not temps

arctic bluff Dec 17, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

The gpu gets around 70 c at highest with 35% fan speed

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

I think he’s talking to Unknown

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

oh sorry

arctic bluff Dec 17, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

But idk about vrm temps

#

Twice I had a bad gpu

#

In one year

#

A rx 580

#

Now a rx 590

#

Different brands, same problem

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

tribal hedge So 10gb is more then enough

that was not even on a large map.

#

its in the ship, at the beggining

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

I mean

arctic bluff Dec 17, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

Is memory issues that common with the rx 590?

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

Considering Nvidia did 4K, Ultra Settings for their showcase

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

they slapped 10 GB on their 3080, and 20 GB on their 3080 ti....

#

the 3080ti does not have double the performance

#

to require double the VRAM

#

far from it

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

VRAM doesn't = performance

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

that i know

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

I think you're getting a little too hung up on VRAM

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

am saying, why they slapped 20 on the 3080ti

#

yet only 10 on the 3080?

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

Cuz the 3080TI will be better for rendering, which needs more VRAm

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

Because the 80 series has always worked like that?

#

The 1080 AND 2080 launched with 8

#

980 with 6 iirc

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

The 3080TI will be a better suited workstation card than a gaming card

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

hmmm

#

thats the 3090

#

the 3080ti is the highest performing gaming card

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

A base 80 card is always enough for light to moderate 4K, and can easily carry 1440p

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

*24 actually

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

ya

#

still why 20 for the 3080ti

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

Ti supremacy

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

if the 3090 is for non-gaming

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

20 is enough

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

sure, but thats still DOUBLE what the 3080 gets!!!

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

Mhmm

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

since when did the 1080ti get DOUBLE the 1080?

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

Why are you so hung up on it?

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

one was at 8, the other at 11

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

maybe he bought a 3080 lol

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

am debating between a 3080 and a 6800xt 😄

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

But if you don't need all that VRAM, it doesn't matter

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

be like me and wait for that 3080ti

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

Facts

#

It’ll be a 4K card that lasts well for roughly 4 years

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

thats one option yes, BUT, even though I CAN afford one, its gonna be $1700 CAD with taxes. too hefty for a GPU

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

Wait what

#

Are we talking about the same gpu or

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

they always get me to buy the xx80 and then the xx80ti but not this time I waited

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

CAD = Canadian dollars

#

yet the 6800xt will have 16 gb VRAM and cost $1300 CAD (about the same as a 3080)

#

so why spend $500 CAD more for a 3080ti??

#

or $400

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

RTX

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

NVENC

#

Better productivity in general

#

DLSS

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

dont need neither!

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

Reflex

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

dont care about RTX get a 6800xt

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

Broadcast

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

Why you hung up so much on VRAM and not GPU performance in games?

#

Are you going to use it for 4K rendering or modeling?

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

VRAM only should be a problem if you’re talking a 3070 or 3060ti

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

I wont stream, I wont encode, I wont use RTX, I wont use DLSS

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

Wait what

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

Then forget about VRAM

#

Completely

#

Get the card you want

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

Yeah

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

what do u mean?

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

It's not important for what you'll be using it for

#

Purely gaming

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

I have a 3080 BNIB, but am debating: use it, or get a 6800xt (no worries I know 2 people who want it)

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

If you need 1440p gaming, 3070 or 3060ti if you’re fine with upgrading to the next 60 or 70 card regularly

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

If you already have the 3080 then just use it

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

If you want to future proof, the 3080.

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

It's faster than a 6800XT anyway

#

More FPS which is what you want

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

well the 3070 / 3060 ti are out of the equation

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

What about a 3070ti

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

at 4K, the 3080 is faster

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

You’re rushing to buy a base card before the better variants are even shown

#

And 1440p, they trade blows

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

I will never run out of VRAM with the 6800xt. The 6800xt is a beast in 1440p, it beats the 3080

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

6800XT would be a downgrade

#

Nah,

#

More of a tie

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

Like I’ve been saying

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:11 AM

#

I'm looking at benchmarks right now

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:11 AM

#

They’re trading blows

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:11 AM

#

besides, you SHOULD care about DLSS

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:11 AM

#

ya they trade, BUT the 6800xt OCs WAY better

#

and runs super cool

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:11 AM

#

Sigh

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:12 AM

#

OC’s don’t mean anything lmao

kindred island Dec 17, 2020, 3:12 AM

H#

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:12 AM

#

Plus the buggy AMD drivers

ripe ivy Dec 17, 2020, 3:12 AM

#

It doesn't scale nearly as well as you're probably thinking it does

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:12 AM

#

The 6800xt barely gets a performance boost from overclocking

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:12 AM

#

No, it doesn't

#

Plug the 3080 in

#

Forget all about VRAM

#

And clock speed

#

and go enjoy some games

#

Stressing over nothing

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:13 AM

#

If you have the 3080 right now

ripe ivy Dec 17, 2020, 3:13 AM

#

I mean if you already have the 3080 I don't know what you're doing even discussing it

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:13 AM

#

It works perfectly fine and will for the next 4 years at 1440p

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:13 AM

#

so why are they saying some games use already 10.5 GB

#

I guess in 4K, but I dont have 4K

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:13 AM

#

Then it doesn’t matter

#

Ez

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:13 AM

#

I mean, No 4k?

#

FFS man

#

Just plug it in and go game

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:14 AM

#

1440p, no 4K

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:14 AM

#

VRAM will never be the slow point

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:14 AM

#

BUT then in 2+ years, will we reach the limits of 10 GB

#

thats the question

#

again, 1440p

ripe ivy Dec 17, 2020, 3:14 AM

#

Won't know until then

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:14 AM

#

You won't reach the limits of 10 GB dood

ripe ivy Dec 17, 2020, 3:14 AM

#

I have no crystal ball

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:14 AM

#

Just

#

go

#

game

#

not at 1440p

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

The 2080 is still benching 1440p

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

am in no rush, i have a 1080

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

At an entire 2 less gb

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

Now 4K? Then maybe

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

4K, the 80 series has always had a problem

#

Especially the base 80

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

Doom Eternal shows the actual VRAM usage

#

not the allocated

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

6800xt VRAM is also SLOWER, don't forget that.

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

But like the 1080ti, it benched 4K all the way until 3080

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:16 AM

#

tender mulch 6800xt VRAM is also SLOWER, don't forget that.

Yup it is. Thats why it performs better in 1440p than it does for 4k

#

however, no game will ever use 16

#

so u have future proofing

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

Sigh. You're hung up on something that isn't going to matter by the time you upgrade again

ripe ivy Dec 17, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

Uh well no, it performs better at 1440 because the 3080 isn't utilizing all those extra shaders it has. At least that's what I've heard more or less

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

So sell it, get the 6800XT and be happy

ripe ivy Dec 17, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

And even then its more like it's roughly the same on average

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

wont have to sell it...

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

tender mulch So sell it, get the 6800XT and be happy

“Get the 6800xt”

#

What a fantasy

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

Just be aware AMD has spoopy driver support

#

Be prepared for bugs

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

ya i had a r9 290x

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:18 AM

Also the 6800xt is vastly harder to find

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

i know 😄

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

tribal hedge Also the 6800xt is vastly harder to find

hence why am even debating lol

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

There is no debate

#

You have a 3080

#

You'd be nuts to not use it and enjoy

#

Seriously

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

I mean you have a 3080, one of the most sought after cards because it is a king of price to performance, at least for it’s intended resolutions

#

Giving it up would be like saying no to the Blue pill in the Matrix

ripe ivy Dec 17, 2020, 3:19 AM

#

But you don't want the blue pill phaSheva

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:19 AM

dunno

#

well, its not that hard: whats the MOST demanding game today on VRAM (actual usage, not allocation) on 1440p?

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

Uhh.

#

Dunno tbh

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:20 AM

we will base on that game

1440p is pretty light on vram usage

GMod with several add-ons being used at once

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:22 AM

The point you're missing

For 1440p, this will be a long term king. It’ll last you 4-5 years.#

For 4K, it’ll last you until the 4080 comes out.

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:24 AM

i mean, worse case...

i can lower some setting in 2022-2023 and be under 10

10 gb vram sorry

#

i guess am jealous the 3080ti is getting a whole 20, which is overkill by any means

ripe ivy Dec 17, 2020, 3:25 AM

Textures, shadows, maybe post processing? I turn post processing off for the most part phaWesker

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:26 AM

Also Motion Blur

#

Because f motion blur

ripe ivy Dec 17, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

Yeah that's post processing

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:27 AM

btw, whats post processing, and whats cromatic abberation?? what does each do?

motion blur is like something no one would want, but it taxes your GPU for no reason

Kek, even Cyberpunk at 1440p only uses 7 GB of VRAM and it's a beast of a game.

tribal hedge Mind you, if VRAM is a big problem, dlss should save you most of the time

am not so aware about DLSS, whats the relationship between VRAM and DLSS?

#

how does it save me??

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

Essentially it takes a lower resolution, uses AI and upscales it to your target resolution

#

So it looks just about as good, while using far less vram

#

There’s an argument to be made that upscaled res looks better then native

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

ahh

#

but say its 80% close...

#

would it mean u can add more settings, but not as much FPS loss or GPU perf drop?

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

Basically

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

@tribal hedge although it sounds like utter nonsense I have to agree with that argument, dlss can look better than the actual native res somehow

fallow narwhal Dec 17, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

Hello

ripe ivy Dec 17, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

From what I understand its the DLSS Quality setting that tends to look as good and even sometimes better than native resolution it is upscaling to phaSheva

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

yes with black magics

ripe ivy Dec 17, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

Otherwise for like the better performance options its close enough that you really wouldn't notice while playing

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

but why would DLSS use less VRAM? just because its "cheating" ?

#

or AI rendering?

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

It basically hands the work off to AI for upscaling

#

The gpu itself can work less

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

hmm so if I have a 1440p monitor...

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

I do notice a little bit in 2077 and what I notice is dlss looks better than actual 4k somehow although I dont understand how I mean I get the AI is upscaling and smoothing things... but still

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

I would select a lower res??

ripe ivy Dec 17, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

Well it's a setting in the game

#

DLSS with various tiers of performance vs quality

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

You’d be playing at your base res, but then you’d turn on dlss

#

Essentially it goes from your gpu pushing out all the pixels, to it loading a lower resolution image, sending it through ai up scaling, and pushing it out to your display

ripe ivy Dec 17, 2020, 3:43 AM

#

Like for example DLSS Performance will say render the game at 720p, then the AI upscales it to 1440. I'm not sure how accurate that is, but yeah it can do that

spice prawn Dec 17, 2020, 3:43 AM

#

hard wren I do notice a little bit in 2077 and what I notice is dlss looks better than act...

that is exactly what it does

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 3:43 AM

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:43 AM

DLSS is one thing that trucks the Radeon cards

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

i see

tender mulch Dec 17, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

and NVENC for encoding

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

And AMD refuses to speak about “super resolution” like how they refused to speak about RTX performance

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

well no need for NVENC for pure gaming right?

hard wren Dec 17, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

nvidia really should be pushing the dlss thing more than they are

Nah, but if you’re doing streaming or content creation

crystal lark Dec 17, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

no, AMD has no real answer for RTX, nor DLSS.

tribal hedge Dec 17, 2020, 3:45 AM

Plus if Native 1440p and RTX is killing your gpu, DLSS + RTX is a dream

spice prawn Dec 17, 2020, 3:45 AM

i would very much prefer if there was a industry version of it instead

spice prawn Dec 17, 2020, 3:45 AM

crystal lark no, AMD has no real answer for RTX, nor DLSS.

RTX is a nvidia variant of DXR

and amd does that DXR support

I feel like all Nvidia ever says about dlss is like " oh yes RTX does kill performance but we made this dlss thing to 1/2 your resolution and upscale it so you have almost the same performance as no RTX..." 🤦🏼‍♂️

DLSS seems to make more sense, a lot more sense

What card is it though

yeah I just think nvid came up with dlss to fix rtx problems when dlss should have been the focus not rtx

come to think of it... actually this monitor supports 120hz but a quirk of the cables and the ports on my 980 has prevented me from actually using that

#

I don't remember the exact issue

#

at any rate, I spent like 200-300 bucks less on the card than if I had gotten a 3080, and I can put that money towards a new monitor

60hz for me feels really laggy

lone tree Dec 17, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

varies, but i barely see a difference between 50 and 60 fps. over 60 i'm just not seeing any difference. to me laggy has to do with huge changes in frame rate, not the framerate itself

green hatch Dec 17, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

I cap my fps to 144hz

#

and i get around 135 fps

#

I would say that its a noticable difference

#

its less clutterly and stuttery

lone tree Dec 17, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

framerate is how smooth it is when you look and move around. honestly 30 is acceptable in most games. above that just makes it feel smoother, up to a point. somewhere around 60 it just stops feeling any smoother to me. probably actually somewhere between 50 and 60, because i still notice a difference there. but 60 to 70 seems the same

sour raft Dec 17, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

I had my gtx 970 for 7 to 8 years before i finally replaced it 2 weeks ago

#

It still did the job up untill this year

#

and i think thats only cause it was dying it would never stop idling at 60c to 70c and would constantly throttle

#

and one time just blue screened my pc cause it got too hot

#

lmao

They tweet about it when it happens, so best to just watch their twitter imo

By the time you see that, it may be sold out

The tweet has gone out before stock has shown up in the app for me the last couple times fwiw

The tweet has gone out like 15 minutes prior, so at like 7:45 est to say there'll be stock at 8pm

anyone else to confirm lol

They haven't tweeted about new stock today, so maybe no new stock today

Or maybe it just is coming later than usual idk

Because isn't the 3060 dropping soon?

And then sale his...

Hey I have a GTX 1080 ROG STRIX Graphics card and was wondering how much it is going for used

#

Looking to upgrade to a 3070 and been on the hunt for a while for the right card so I may be looking to sell it sometime in the near future

tender mulch Dec 18, 2020, 1:52 AM

#

Dont go 2060. Wait for 3060 stock

oblique cairn Dec 18, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

Any money spent on a card that isnt a 3000 series right now is a rash decision. If you are buying second hand cards at a massive discount thats fine but anything $400 plus you arent getting the value of whats "available" (lol) in the market

pfft

#

if you could

subtle canopy Dec 18, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

@hidden imp It seems that a lot of used cards are going for a lot because the new cards aren't in stock so people are holding on to their GPUs or trying to pay for a card a scalper is selling by sell their old one at a major markup I would wait for the news GPUs to come back into stock so the older ones star flooding the after market more or pick up a 3060 ti if u want to wait and save up a little more extra cash

coarse spindle Dec 18, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

yeah

lone pond Dec 18, 2020, 2:15 AM

when do you guys think there is gonna be availability for the 3080?

coarse spindle Dec 18, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

oof. its spotty at best

#

go to the newegg twitter and make sure you have time and quick hands

#

or go the CDW preorder route

#

are your looking to get any specific 3080 or do you not matter

lone pond Dec 18, 2020, 2:18 AM

i mean, just any 3080 with average specs

f e would be nice ofc but any other will do

which ones come sooner?

spark pebble Dec 18, 2020, 2:22 AM

@coarse spindle whats the CDW route lol

coarse spindle Dec 18, 2020, 2:23 AM

There is a business supply store online that you can preorder the rtx cards from

#

There not crazy prices and its nice to know you can just lay back and have a dibbs

#

Have had success

#

@spark pebble

subtle canopy Dec 18, 2020, 2:25 AM

#

one thing i like to do is see if anyone on amazon has a reasonable sane buying option price id check amazon and look at all the 3080 listings for a somewhat reasonably priced one Ik a few people were able to get cards just 30 to 40 over msrp that way

coarse spindle Dec 18, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

Have not had luck

#

Its hard to track them down even just on the site

#

Buried into crap prebuilts

subtle canopy Dec 18, 2020, 2:29 AM

#

I had the plan of build a prebuild for like micro center and just swapping the cards and reselling the other build online but i feel like there is so much risk in selling that build before my credit card bill is due lol

#

keep finding 3070s going for mid to high 800s range and its getting more and more tempting to pull the trigger on one of them

Don't support scalpers

spark pebble Dec 18, 2020, 2:32 AM

i feel like that's just a matter of personal patience lol, how long have you been trying to get a 3080? @subtle canopy

#

yeah same here lol

plain steppe Dec 18, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

its so exhausting tbh , you get it to shoe in stock click it get in in the cart and boom gone

#

show*

subtle canopy Dec 18, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

@spark pebble Ive been trying to get a 3070 and i don'gt encourage people to support scalpers but if you can find scalpers that are making no more then $30 and you want a card then go for it What i have done to make myself wait was look for the ROG STRIX RTX3070 cuz there is is no possible way anyone is trying to sell it at a remotely reasonable price any time soon

#

I recently went to a few brick and mortar places that sell the card and asked if i camp out how long they think id be there and they all told me that if i was there for a month they still couldn't garment having stock in for me to buy one so I have quite literally haveing tabs on all the store near me and online store open whenever i am on my computer so i can constantly keep checking

#

Its been a rough few weeks to say the least lol

#

honestly im just happy i was able to get more ram for my pc when those prices tanked cuz chrome in ram hungry for sure

#

just sucks for a bunch of my friend trying to get into pc gaming is hard for them cuz they want the latest and greatest thats out now and im afraid they are going to try get a Xbox of ps5 even tho exclusives have been few and far between the consoles and there is no real need to get one RIGHT now anyways

spark pebble Dec 18, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

i mean its all preference, i still rock my ps4 and i played miles morales with ease lol really enjoyed it

#

I wanna swap to pc tho, getting my hands on a card has been my first step since basically everything else i want stays in stock

tender mulch Dec 18, 2020, 3:16 AM

#

The more you support scalpers, the worse it will get

spark pebble Dec 18, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

idk bro his reasoning is valid, theres no point in fighting a losing battle if youre struggling to get a card and don't mind paying slightly over msrp. nobody is buying the $1200 overpriced 3080/3070s lol so reasonable pricing isnt rough at all.

#

I see your point as well though

tender mulch Dec 18, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

THe more sales they get, the more motivated they are to do it. If they all sat and rotted, they wouldn't scalp them. I fully realize some people are comfortable with overpaying though.

#

Scalpers are just evil. Literally robbing people.

subtle canopy Dec 18, 2020, 3:30 AM

#

If it motivates them to lowers prices with $30 of msrp more to sell more and get more cards out it will end putting more cards into the masses heands driving down the demand and leaving the scalpers charging $1200 stuck where they are selling something nobody is buying when a large stockpile comes in

#

giving scalpers more risk is better because it teaches them that they could make a little money or be stuck with a bunch of silicon that they have to sell at a loss to get ride of when the next gen cards come out

so there wont be any issues?

Think of it as leaving room for a GPU upgrade down the road

#

No, you won't have issues

subtle canopy Dec 18, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

no issues nah

autumn grail Dec 18, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

oh ok thanks 😊

#

and just so i have the knowledge, bottlenecking (on both sides) cannot physical damage the gpu or cpu right

subtle canopy Dec 18, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

a 'GPU cant hinder CPU performance all that much but the CPU can defiantly bottleneck your GPU

#

if yout GPU is pair with a slow CPU then it limits the capabilites of your GPU but you have a really good CPU so ur just fine

tender mulch Dec 18, 2020, 3:39 AM

No, no damage

@lone pond get any decent GPU that's worth its price and is in your budget, and is a good upgrade from your current GPU. Dont think about one singular option

When searching for a upgrade I like to search every website, and websites were asking for $350-400+ for 1070Ti's brand new but B&H was like nahhhh 250 for a new one.
