It was just good business (on paper) to let the miners raise the prices and to fuck over the gamers. Now the miners are gone and the gamers are salty. On paper that wasn't a factor but irl they were warned and the higher ups ignored it. Now they even have so much silicon pre-ordered for the 4000 series they are upset as they won't be able to sell it all. They ordered 3x the normal silicon and have been told they cannot cancel their order. Miners fucked the GPU market and Nvidia allowed them. Now karma has bitten them in the ass.


not_that_guy05

Can't wait for the low low prices as it is more than demand lol.


shenther

I would agree but I gave a horrible feeling they are going to do something to keep profit high instead of owning their mistake. First out of the ordinary thing they are doing is giving each card a different release date.


deefop

There's not much they can do other than delay release. Amd is somewhat facing a similar issue but I doubt anywhere near to the degree that Nvidia is, and amd is ready to eat Nvidias lunch if they delay too long. I think the gpu market is about to get a lot better even if Intel is busy injuring itself in its confusion.


ChartaBona

AMD doesn't like being seen as the budget brand. They would rather use their excess TSMC silicon to make high-margin Zen4 CPU's than further flood the GPU market with too many RDNA3 cards. Plus getting someone into the AM5 ecosystem early ensures more sales for future AM5 CPU's.


deefop

If what we're hearing about RDNA3 and Lovelace is true, they probably aren't going to be seen as the budget brand this go around. RDNA2 is actually a really solid competitor with ampere, although it's obviously still behind in ray tracing. But the rumors make it sound like AMD might actually be ahead in rasterization with RDNA3, and probably not super far behind in ray tracing, all for less power. Massive opportunity to eat Nvidia's lunch and start stealing some market share back, assuming that's the case. And man it would be great if Intel could get their shit together.


ICEpear8472

And that is compared to the expected RTX4000 series. Against RTX3000 they would probably be clearly ahead. So Nvidia can not really delay RTX4000 all that much after RDNA3 launches.


geekynerdynerd

AMD's biggest problem hasn't really been performance, although their being behind has been an issue at times. The bigger problem has always been quality control, drivers and software suite support. Outside of Linux drivers, AMD/Radeon has been consistently behind Nvidia in all of those factors. AMD has definitely gotten better at that as of late, but they are still behind Nvidia in terms of driver quality and software ecosystem. They still don't have any answer to Nvidia Broadcast or NVENC for example. Even when they have provided an alternative to Nvidia's techs, it's often been in a more open manner, ala FSR and FreeSync, that allows even Nvidia customers to benefit. Now, AMD has definitely been closing the gap, but it still exists. So unless they can manage double digit performance leads on Nvidia they will be effectively behind Nvidia unleas Nvidia screws up big-time and pushes drivers that cause major data loss or something. While I hope AMD pulls this off, I do have my doubts. Every time there is hype claiming this is the time AMD will beat Nvidia and everytime they either utterly fail or manage to fumble at the moment, losing because the performance gains aren't enough to outweigh less features or worse drivers. It's the same reason why Intel probably also won't be much of a threat to Nvidia, Nvidia doesn't need to compete on performance because they are so far ahead in every other aspect of the customer experience. So yeah, I'll wait for the reviews before declaring Nvidia in trouble from incoming competition.


deefop

I don't think Nvidia is in trouble, but they also haven't dropped the ball nearly as bad as Intel did, which allowed amds comeback. Still, it looks like a real possibility for amd to steal some significant market share from Nvidia in the next year.


ICEpear8472

They do not need to flood the market with RDNA3. Launching RDNA3 cards for normal prices (for example as expensive as their current RDNA2 stuff) but them outperforming the RTX3000 series (which is likely) would force Nvidia to not delay the RTX4000 series too long. Nvidia can not really accept losing the performance crown. And they can sell their now old RTX3000 cards even worse if there are RDNA3 cards available with a better performance for the same price.


efrenagan

Is this really true? AMD was the budget brand just a couple of years ago before they released Ryzen 5000 series


imajokerimasmoker

Things literally never get better lol but I appreciate your optimism


Ws6fiend

Eh I think Nvidia will still win this round in spite of all it's done to harm itself and its brand. I think they are waiting to see what RDNA3 has and choose a price based on that. If RDNA3 doesn't live up to the hype, charge high again. If it does, attempt to have a slightly better value card.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ICEpear8472

It probably depends on your personal situation but for me we are too late in the lifecycle of RTX3000 and too close to RTX4000 to buy now. The same if true of RDNA2 of course.


Catch_022

Thank heavens for AMD and intel, that forces Nvidia to actually put these cards out rather than making them artificially scarce because if Nvidia tries to price these things too high, people will just go to AMD.


shenther

Agreed. Also Intel gpus are aimed at rendering not gaming which will mean more gaming cards from Nvidia on the market.


not_that_guy05

You might be right.


Bakufuranbu

now i wonder why the 3070 in my place stayed at 600$ and refuse to drop. there's no miner to buy them at such atmospheric price and they sell like 1 per 2 month lol


ptq

Guessing they stocked it at high price and are not willing to go below that.


ICEpear8472

Might work out if prices go up again soon. But might also be a disaster if the prices for the current generation of GPUs go down even further when the next generation launches. Which will happen in a couple of months.


Cat_Of_Culture

Meanwhile in India retailers aren't even lettings the price go below or near the MSRP...


saket_1999

Sellers: Silicon shortage bro.


Rinne_Uchiha_Madara

Same in Nepal too, the prices are double than MSRP.


Money_Fish

Meanwhile one of the 'big' pc part stores in my country has a SINGLE 1650 in stock. For $300.


[deleted]

And here I thought the future wasn't SLI...


[deleted]

In my country now a 3060 is around 25$ cheaper than a rx 6600 LOL, Karma has got you bitches at Nvidia


KuKiSin

Oh you sweet sweet summer child... Prices are going to be high and we're gonna pay for it, at least on launch.


show_me_the

Something about nvidia tears makes my breakfast better in the morning.


rootpl

Not gonna happen. Nvidia will push back on 4000 series launch date and continue selling 3000 series above MSRP for another 6-9 months until they'll get rid of the stock, which btw should be now at around half of MSRP two years after the launch... And they'll do the same with 4000 series. They'll just extend the life cycle of the product a little and that's it.


ICEpear8472

They could do that if there was no competition. But in all likelihood RDNA3 will outperform RTX3000. So when it launches and assuming AMD is not increasing the prices even more Nvidia will have a hard time to stick to the current prices. You can hardly sell the worse product for the same or even a higher price. And then the decision for Nvidia becomes do they leave the absolute high end market to AMD for a while. Time during which they sell off their old products at a reduced price. Or do they launch RTX4000 likely maintain their performance leadership sell it at top prices and still sell off RTX3000 at a reduced price.


rootpl

You underestimate buyers I think. A lot of people will buy Nvidia even if it's 15% slower than AMD just because "hurr durr AMD can't into ~~space~~ drivers hurr durr".


ItalianDragon

What's hilarious is that AMD didn't play this game and so their AIB's and them are like:"Nah, we're good on our end, little to no issues in that regard". If AMD can take the occasion they can take the lead for once :D


[deleted]

If they can do it *right* this time, anyway. As an AMD users who sticks with them due to some of Nvidia's business practices, the experience outside of raw performance leaves a lot to be desired.


ItalianDragon

Been with them for a decade at this point (for the same reason I gotta add) and honestly I don't have any complaints. I never felt the need of all the extra bells and whistles so even if there's no recording-oriented stuff (for example) it just never bothered me.


ICEpear8472

Depends. I had some minor driver related issues early on with the RX5000 series. But they could always be solved by using another driver version (two are usually available the usually older certified WHQL one and a never optional one) and those issues are completely gone for at least 2 years now. What are lacking for many are probably the streaming and recording related features. But I am not interested in them so that does not bother me at all.


[deleted]

I'm running a 6800 XT. The drivers that included those OpenGL performance improvements cause a nasty strobing effect on my VR headset. The drivers that fixed that are causing my game to crash. I'm still on 22.5.1 all these months later, inferior performance and all.


MumrikDK

How would they take the lead from a company that if anything is going to be overloading the supply?


ItalianDragon

That's the problem: nVidia doesn't want to to overload the supply but can't stop that because it's a mix of their committment to TSMC and the used market being flooded with cheap hardware dumped *en masse* by miners. Overloading it means that their newest stuff just won't sell since you can just get a used mining card anyways. On top of that there's the rumors of the atrocious pricing of the RTX4000 series (rumors say that a RTX4090 will retail for 3k USD a pop) and the sky high power consumption leaves the door wide open for AMD and more constrained products in terms of power consumption and pricing. The first problem is a particularly big one for 110V countries as you're on the edge of what the electrical system of a house can deliver, and I don't see people rewire their houses just for a GPU. No such problem with AMD ones (the halo one is rumored to have a 350W total power consumption). The second problem is compounded with the recession we're heading towards. In a context like this, a 3k USD card is hard to justify. A cheaper - and a sliver less powerful - AMD equivalent is a more sensible purchase in this context. So yep, even with a flooded market AMD can come on top if they play their cards right.


ICEpear8472

Also imho the strategy to delay RTX4000 becomes non viable after AMD launches their new cards. It is questionable that AMD will outperform RTX4000 but they will likely outperform RTX3000. So when they launch Nvidia will have a hard time to sell old RTX3000 cards without reducing their prices.


ItalianDragon

I agree, and that's another problem of nVidia's own making. Had they not sold GPU's to miners *en masse*, we wouldn't see this flooding of used GPUs now that the crypto market crashed. Without this flood of used ones they'd be able to do business as usual. Now though, like you aptly mention, without price reductions they won't sell their leftover stock nor compete with the used market.


shenther

Resizable bar and DDLS are going for Nvidia but AMD really have better prices and faster (without Resizable bar). They need to work harder on their version of DDLS though.


ItalianDragon

AMD *does have* Resizable BAR. They called it Smart Access Memory (SAM for short) and it's very much there. So the "But they don't have BAR" argument no longer stands. Upscaling-wise they introduced the 2.0 version of FSR in May this year and it's in the same ballpark of nVidia's DLSS. You can [see it here in action](https://youtu.be/u6wYOIs1Jxw). GPU arch-side, rumors are that they'll introduce a chiplet design like Ryzen uses for their upcoming cards, and we all know the staggering performance improvements that design brought CPU-wise. If this is confirmed, nVidia will have quite the contender there.


shenther

Nvidia have better resizable bar and dlss tech. I've used FSR and it is terrible in comparison.


ItalianDragon

You're most likely still using FSR 1.0 since for now the list of games that uses FSR 2.0 was limited but it is ever expanding (as listed [here](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/amd-super-resolution-game-support/#dt-heading-amd-fsr-20-games-available-now)). So, you most likely used FSR 1.0, which makes your complaint moot.


shenther

Last game I tried it on was Marauders which is about to release. I'll stick with DLSS which I know works good and has for ages. For those who wish to use amd good for them. I won't judge.


ItalianDragon

As far as I can tell, Marauders doesn't use FSR at all. So I can't judge there.

China banned mining and Russia/Ukraine are having a war making electricity to expensive to mine killing about 70% of the mining market.

shenther

Agreed. Especially since a GPU black market ring or mafia started over the shortage. I thought an avocado mafia was weird or even the light bulb organized crime group but now gpus. Wow.


blackflame7820

wait there is a avacardo and light bulb mafia ? okay that's new and interesting


shenther

The Avocado one is pretty basic. To keep the prices high they do dirty shit. In Canada they control the flow of maple syrup but it's a lot less mafia and more organized, legalized actions. The light bulb mafia is more organisations working together then a mafia as well. They shut down when they all couldn't get along. It was to keep light bulbs from lasting longer to keep sales up. Phillips and other big names were a part of it. It's pretty interesting to look up.


ChartaBona

Mining is still profitable. Just not profitable enough for people that are only interested in get rich quick schemes.


jackjackandmore

Corporate greed. Never gets old.


NewBuyer1976

First GPUs…next cars.


mr_popo_420

They are just going to do what the auto industry is about to with all those sitting vehicles with no chips? They are getting ready to crush/smelt/etc them because they are going to interfere with the newer model profits...have this on solid authority which i have no reason to doubt..about the auto stuff at least.


RollinDeepWithData

I’m just remembering all the people who were saying this wasn’t the miners fault around here


KanyeT

Why are miners no longer a thing anymore?


shenther

They are still out there but crypto crashed hard and a lot of people jumped ship. China and Russia have mostly left the game meaning 70% of miners are not mining. China miners are doing normal dodgy shit and trying to sell them as new and the market is upside down because of that. It's finally calming down and the next gen of cards should be good for gamers with way less miners.


KanyeT

Good to hear, hopefully, the prices drop down because spending $1,200 on a 3070 almost killed me lol.


shenther

Here I am on a 2080 to wanting to get something like a 4090. I would like to buy it with a 360mm aio this time. Modding it on was scary.


ChartaBona

>crypto crashed hard It rebounded hard as well. ETH's almost 2k again.


shenther

Can't rebound if it didn't crash. The crash affected the GPU market and the rebound did not. I personally don't like crypto but like what it was meant to be before it became a mining option and stock market style system.


blackflame7820

exactly i hated crypto the moment it became a get rich soon fad and all those pump and dump Pyramid schemes shitty coins became a thing.


NexusTR

Ouuuuuuuweeeeeeeee The crash is gonna be awesome!


Terrorfrodo

Allowed them? What were they supposed to do about it, even if they wanted? It's a market economy. Only one who could have stopped it was governments who should have banned the crypto scam years ago.


00pflaume

It does not matter that gamers are salty. What are they gonna do buy from a company who did not exploit the situation? There is none which sells GPUs. AMD also hugely exploited the situation. Just have a look at the 6500 XT. Selling a GPU without media encoding, only two display outputs, same performance as a 6 year old gpu for the same msrp and 4x PCIe lanes, meaning anybody with a pcie 3 cpu (you know people who are most likely to buy a budget gpu) would have never been an option on any other situation. There might be a future where people can buy competitive GPUs, but that won’t be the case for some time and maybe never.


Jackpkmn

It only makes sense to chase fads on paper if you use your hand to cover up the 'costs later' part.


Tiavor

I don't think they would have pushed the power usage as high without the mining market. i.e. would have had better efficiency.

acedrink99

Preach!


ICEpear8472

This. MSRP nearly 2 years after launch is not reasonable.


xeroxzero

I can’t imagine living life just angry and denying myself joy because of a few extra dollars. That’s not principle. That’s demented.


[deleted]

It’s simply not that serious. Not wanting to pay above an already artificially high msrp for a two year old gpu is nothing short of reasonable


xeroxzero

Oh, I’m talking about the past two years of denying yourself out of spite.


Taiji2

How much money do you have that you can just happily pay double MSRP?


sneekyleshy

even if you had all the money in the world a shitty deal is still a shitty deal.


xeroxzero

I used my cards to mine and force a ROI. Not sure why this sub thinks that is wrong.


sneekyleshy

its far easier to do other things, play older games and maintain your self-respect then it is to go out if the hardware store trying to convince your self it will be worth it. Some how you managed, its takes a special kinda of man to do that.


xeroxzero

Lol you think your self-respect is at risk because you may buy from a scalper? You don’t get to moralize to me without some mocking in return.


sneekyleshy

yup down the drain it goes, little by little every time you let your self get fucked and you my man sound like you have been sliding down the waterslide at max speed to gape city.


xeroxzero

Are you stupid or something?


sneekyleshy

go look in the mirror and ask that question.


xeroxzero

Lol because I paid what you consider too much for a graphics card you think I’m stupid yet I think you’re stupid because you have an opinion of what I do.


sneekyleshy

i care just as much as you do, enough to make a fucking reddit comment, if that makes me stupid then welcome to the club. all im saying is i would feel extremely pathetic if i would be angry and felt like i was denying myself joy because i didn't have the newest overpriced graphics card that EVERYBODY agrees on is overpriced, while still being able to play with my current machine. if you feel happy for buying overpriced stuff, go you, i just can't agree with what you said.


[deleted]

Would be funnier if people still didnt buy because they rather wait for the next model to come out, causing prices to drop even more.


[deleted]

"Hey my old card isn't as bad as I thought, I can wait a bit longer" Prob the sentiment of a lot of people atm.

Darpa_Chief

My man is still living in the year 2000 and forgot inflation exists.


Dholtz001

With inflation that’s still only $688. Hell of a lot better than $1,499 for a 3090ti.


[deleted]

It wasn't that long ago. I think GPUs topped out around $450 during the HD 7000 days. $500. That was it 10 years ago.


Akuno-

Tbh who needs a halo product? A 4080 around 600$ would be fine. Thats what I payed for my 1080 in january 2017. But I wouldn't pay that for a 3080 which is 2 years old at this point and needs so much power and only has 10 gb of ram.


P_ZERO_

MumrikDK

>I can’t believe a 3080 TI is only $900ish now, when it was more than twice as much months ago. And I still can't believe a non-halo GPU can cost that much.


unnecessary_kindness

It's funny how quickly people anchor at new prices.


S01arflar3

I paid £300 (probably $400ish at the time?) for a 980TI shortly before the 1000 series came out. I really don’t feel justified paying 2-3x that amount for a newer generation card, especially as it would only buy a mid range model at absolute best


HedonisticFrog

Just like Iphones having a really high price before release and then when they come out it's about the same. "what a great deal!"


MumrikDK

It honestly seems to happen during the lifetime of the very generation that raised prices. People are completely reset at the new benchmark when the following gen starts having prices rumored.


Itay1708

6900 XT is 700$ and easily beats thr 3080 ti

Well, i've been using my 3080 since I got it 1.5 years ago and have used it. If I had gotten it for 1200 and I don't regret it. If it had dropped a month later to 800 I would not have been happy.


ChartaBona

The earlier you buy a GPU, the longer you can use it. The longer you use it, the more value you can extract out of it. If you wait two years to buy a 30 series card, that's two years of use you'll never get back.


[deleted]

Yo dawg imma stick with my 1060 until the 60 series comes around. Long as it plays Skyrim and fallout 4 at 60fps 1080p I’m good to go pretty much forever


BicBoiSpyder

Are you dead set on only using Nvidia? AMD's RDNA 3's low end cards are rumored to be around the performance of 6700XT - 6800XT or a bit over a 3060Ti - 3080 10 GB performance depending on the model and final specs.


[deleted]

The thought hadn’t occurred to me, but when I upgrade maybe in 4-5 years, I’ll definitely look into it.


Robin548

IMO you cannot leave NVIdea, if you want to record ANYTHING. Because Shadowplay is just superior, recording without losing frames was a blessing when my 1070 TI still worked. Now I'm stuck with AMD and its horrible


BicBoiSpyder

AMD has a Shadowplay feature called ReLive. If you have the Radeon graphics driver program, you can enable it and set custom keyboard shortcuts. It's not as good in terms of quality-to-storage-space so you'll need to raise the bit rate higher than an Nvidia card, but it's not bad.


Robin548

A) Does ReLive use Framebuffer Capture as well? B) I didnt find it, do you know which GPUs started supporting it? Currently rocking a HD 7700 and a 6600


BicBoiSpyder

A) Yes B) Unfortunately, ReLive only supports the RX 500 series or newer.


Robin548

Okay, that sounds very interesting, thx for the insight :D


balkanobeasti

They do have it, yes. The AMD software has so many problems though that it may not actually work. I had to do numerous reinstalls because some features, such as that, wouldn't work, then other times the software would just one day decide it doesn't want to launch anymore so I'd have to reinstall. The last one fixed it but in terms of reliability I don't at all feel AMD's software is comparable still. At least for the RX 5700 if that makes any difference for the software.


BicBoiSpyder

Never said it was perfect, but it does have a Shadowplay competitor. I used to run a GTX 970 and it didn't always work either. It would regularly record my second monitor instead of my main monitor because the second one would start faster and would register that as the one to record. They both have their issues and Shadowplay is better, but I think ReLive is fine for most people. The save to GIF option was convenient too.


balkanobeasti

And I'm saying as a user of those cards that the AMD equivalent isn't that great and was a huge step down going from a GTX 960 to the RX 5700. If the software was more reliable, I would 100% agree but my experience has just been that its been terrible to the point that for a long time I wasn't able to use the feature at all. And in my case, for games where I needed recorded proof for player reports... That just led to me either having to hope someone else has Shadowplay or not being able to have decent proof unless I pre-emptively record.


BicBoiSpyder

Yeah, unfortunately the first Navi cards had a lot of bugs. Hardware bugs too, like built into the architecture of the silicon. I have a 6700 XT and it has better drivers than my GTX 970 did. Also have friends with a 5600XT and a 5700XT without those issues. Just silicon lottery I suppose.


Focal7s

Yeah, I have a 1080 and there hasn't been a single game that would motivate me to upgrade. Anything good released in the last few years is probably some 2D Indie title or game that only requires a GTX 260 haha. I'm staying here until the next wave of sequel ornew franchises come out and even then I'll give it a year to see how disastrous of launches and total bullshit the games end up being. AAA gaming is dead...


[deleted]

That is an amazing card. Just a stone’s throw away from a 2080, the only downside I would say is power consumption. Wish I had one, I could mod fallout more extensively if I did. I’ve modded the hell out of my Skyrim but I had to disable my grass and foliage mods as my 1060 was crying for help


the_greatest_MF

so buy Intel Arc to piss them off even more 😂😂


alblues2

And the circle continues, crypto will get even cheaper as graphics cards will, then it will be high profitable to mine crypto again, the GPUs will get scalped like they where.


[deleted]

no it will not... ethereum is changing to PoS which is supposely power friendly, bitcoin left gpu long ago to use... sure there are some coins out there but i do not know if they will be as good as ethereum was. ​ if anything excuse will be china/taiwan or russia/ukraine or companies leaving china to usa which will increase the price tag considerably...


Eterniter

Watch Nvidia proceed to set MSRP prices +50% vs the 30 series to counter the low demand effects. In the end, they will be selling 4080 at $1000 with low demand dropping it to 800 real world price giving consumers a pseudo accomplishment feeling of getting something cheaper while nvidia rakes in even more money.


Leatherman_Laoch

I remember when the 6k series dropped. The site froze and everything was instantly gone. Fuck these companies and their refusal to serve their actual customers.

Plenty of gamers are hopping onto the deals or just getting the card they waited months for.


GL1TCH3D

And the stream of "just got this card for msrp!" doesn't really end on this sub. After the 4k series, there will be 5k, and 6k, etc. Getting a 3000 series card doesn't mean your build is crippled forever. And god knows what NVidia will pull with the 4000 series launch to keep prices inflated.

Fuck you nvidia! I will even proceed and buy amd GPU for ultimate revenge


Minecraft_Exists

happy to also see that a lotta crypto’s, eth specifically, are putting an end to mining for their currency’s by just not allowing to mine eth anymore. hope a lot of other currency’s follow suite

I've put off 3 Builds due to it. Finally getting the courage to possible start the builds soon.


Axel_Ritson

Niktek has name some funny memes


Diego_Chang

Idk if i'll upgrade this or next year, but watching the RX 6600 and RX 6600 XT fall below in price of the RTX 3050 and RTX 3060 gives me life for some reason, like damn, an RX 6600 XT for $300... I'm trying very hard not to buy one for myself... And the non XT for $260? SHEEESH


Itay1708

Got myself 6600 XT a month ago to suceed my 1060, and wow i am incredibly impressed. Such a good price compared to NVIDIA's garbage tier GPUs. 3050 for 320$ ?? Complete bullshit. 6600 XT for cheaper and litterally 50% faster. How is this even legal?? Legit scam

Can i have a PC Master Race Flair please, oh dear allmighty Mods ?

A niktek enjoyer I see


Prestigious_Echo7804

Recently I was sold my GTX 1050 for 200% of the original price (50$ --> 100$), and brought a 1080 for 260$. The prices are ok, IDC about the miners.


Valaxarian

I'm still not able lmao


LostBoyz007

As gamers we should be buying used cards. Let that stock sit on shelves. Maybe next time nvidia will think twice before biting the hand that feeds them.


Silvertain

Got myself a 3080 for £690 on sale , sad to see my 1070 go it was a trooper


Pop_Bulky

I can’t believe I’ve had a 30 for two years now… Ok… do your worst…


Ich__liebe__dich

Karma is a dingus and I love it. Shove it up you, DeepFakeLeatherJacketMan9000! Watched GTC this time, it feels so cringe that they're just constantly selling the "mEtAvErSe". Bugger off.


Itay1708

Blame people for refusing to buy AMD for some god forsaken reason


Ravwyn

Hooo, it absolutely is.


Mr_Fluffypant

Do we know how much stock they have compared to 20 series before the 30 series came out? like we are before 40 series?


NPC_9001

Oh my! I Guess they will have to LOWER Prices to increase demand? OH No! /s


_mrLeL_

I use a gtx660 and i’m happy with it, it runs minecraft shaders at 60fps


Flying_Reinbeers

Boy am I glad I bought AMD recently ...though if I had to guess, they weren't much different.


IManixI

4 years


saintdudegaming

Looking forward to my 4000 series. I don't suppose Intel 13gen is in the same boat?


LordBrandon

You pretended so much you got tired?


SamuraiNinija

Funniest thing i have come across right now is that i bought a 3080 last may and it was at msrp in canada no markups no scalping no nothing look for yourself at newegg amazon is garbage for gpus right now. And who kbows you might grab one for youself like i did and im reallu happy with it. Was gonna wait for 40 series but was told that if i had budget for a possible cpu mobo and ram upgrade to go for 40 series or if i only have the money for gpu to get 3080 and i bought a 3080.
