It's just that the 2000 series is s*** value rn and the price isn't rly gonna drop in retail. If you want it for it's actual value you need to buy used.

For example a 2080ti should be worth no more than $450 USD rn. A 2060 would maybe be worth $250-300, and that's being generous

Oh i get what you mean
I found the 2060 for 300€ but I will look into used ones before i decide to buy it

damn i ain’t know they was coming like this, super clean design

no more s***ty blower

375w is the power limit... will AMD go all out, probably not

assuming for VR

2018 Nvidia GTX 1080
2019 AMD Vega 56

all the CPUs/GPUs I've owned over the years :-)

ive only had:

2003 ati radeon 9500 (first gpu i ever had!)
2010 nvidia geforce 9500 gt
2017 nvidia gtx 1080

2003 intel pentium 4
2010 intel core 2 duo
2017 intel 7700k

I had some Nvidia GPU & Intel CPU in 2003 but I honestly couldn't remember what they were lol, it was some kind of pentium though

and whew nice upgrades though over the years

crazy how CPUs have actually gotten far cheaper but GPUs are so much more, I guess the thing is though GPUs are way larger these days while CPUs have stayed about the same

2017 is the first time i had money and was able to buy myself

before that it was all gift i got from my family

lol 2011 was the first time I ever had my own money to spend on parts, honestly why I started upgrading more often

before that yeah I was getting upgrades from my parents for my bday every few years

I’m not missing out on day 1

...3090 when

same lmao

1 week left until the RTX 3090 is out

5.5 hours

just ordered the msi gaming x trio

I honestly can't believe people are gonna pay $70k for a GPU

I want one pretty bad but I can't even fathom spending anything over $2k and that's still insane for something that will be on sale for $750 in a couple months lol, people gotta be trolling

congrats bro

I think it’s worth it. Technically it might be slightly cheaper (on a compute per dollar standpoint) to get two 3080s with an Nvidia link but optimizing over multiple gpus isn’t always straightforward. Not sure with gaming how that works.

it works pretty badly man
I've tried SLI & Crossfire and some games, like maybe 10% get a performance boost of 40%-60% and then most games won't see any benefit
some games will even run a lot worse and you have to disable the second card

you would probably have a better experience with just a 3090 for gaming but it depends on the games your playing and what else you wanna do with the GPUs

you can only do nvlink on the 3090s this gen anyway
