The GeForce RTX 3090 is aimed at 8K gaming at 60 frames per second, so it comes equipped with 10,496 CUDA cores that feature a boost clock up to 1.7 GHz. There's also 24GB of 19.5 Gbps GDDR6X memory across a 384-bit memory interface. The graphics card has a 350W TDP (thermal design power) and requires two 8-pin PCIe power connectors.
Nvidia touts the GeForce RTX 3080 as the flagship Ampere SKU. The chipmaker is promising up to double the performance over the previous GeForce RTX 2080. According to Nvidia, the GeForce RTX 3080 is capable of providing a perfect 60 frames per second gaming experience at 4K even with ray tracing enabled.
Im getting that 3070, although I do hope that partner cards will be available at the same date or close to it.
Or is it better to have just an Nvidia card? I always had a partner card I think.
Either way I hope that 500USD doesnt translate too 500 euro but who am I kidding
Im getting that 3070, although I do hope that partner cards will be available at the same date or close to it.I’m curious about this too. I just recently built a new pc but waited on graphics cards since I knew these were coming up, so I’m wondering whether to get a founders 3070 or partner version.

I only have a sad ass 1060 3gb so that weaps in Cyberpunk 2077
Would a 2600x bottleneck a 3070?

Also please don’t make fun of me as I’m an idiot. But ideally if I decided to upgrade to one of these can I basically just swamp the cards?
Im getting that 3070, although I do hope that partner cards will be available at the same date or close to it.$499 usually translates to 599 EUR for a base model and 650 EUR for any model actually worth it (ASUS/MSI/Gigabyte).

These are looking like a good upgrade, but what is this thing about PSU compatibility?
I'll wait for reviews/benchmarks anyway, but i hope the 3070 is gonna run on my modest PSU, because i'm thinking of getting in that, instead of a PS5.These are looking like a good upgrade, but what is this thing about PSU compatibility?
You'll need at least 750 watt PSU plus a proprietary 12-pin to use the 3090 according to Nvidia. 3080 requires less watts but same cable. I'm pretty sure they'll include an adapter.
These bitches are fucking HUGE. No way in hell I'm getting these on launch, or like ever unless they actually shrink them to 1060-levels, which probably won't be a year or two.

I'm actually more than fine with my 2070 Super purchase in the beginning of this year, I can pretty much tackle any game I've wanted at Max & my 2 NvME SSDs are probably more than fine for this gen too.Doesn't help that "next gen graphics" so far have been incredibly underwhelming.
I want to see when these 2070 Super cards even start feeling the heat, there's nothing technically impressive on the horizon that warrants these from such a recent upgrade so far.
Fuck that’s huge. Do I need a new case?If you can pay 1400$ for a 3090, you can afford to buy a new case.

The 3080 and 3070 have normal dimensions.
Edit: Those look better, but looking at the product line, they're still 2.5-2.75 (nearly 3 slots) which is my opposition to the 3090/30XX line (bar the case requirements, of course).
So I'm not exactly jumping for a new GPU (and even if I was, I'd be in the budget range/XX60's anyway), so the size decrease can happen for me.
Some Nvidia 8K benchmarks (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/geforce-rtx-3090-8k-hdr-gaming/) on their 3090 FE (and interestingly choosing to use a last gen Intel CPU, potentially indicating bandwidth on PCIe 3.0 x16 is sufficient):

tbh, i liked that because doom looks good and taht was a fun gameplay segment. i play with a 1070 at 3440 x 1440 locked at 60 with some settings reduced. i'm too old to be able to tell the difference in a meaningful way with some of the ultra settings :foxxNot just you. Doom is a great looking ( more importantly, amazingly running) game but I legitimately can't tell the difference with any of the settings past High. And even then high-> medium aint that much of a diff either
though i can imagine getting used to 120fps and going back would be noticeable

4K is a meme.
8K is an ultra-meme.
https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam
Nearly everyone is still on 1080p. Give me cheaper cards and more VRAM for 1080.
1440p is the sweet spot for PC gaming for me on my 27" monitor.
4k only has its benefits if your screen is large enough. On my LG 55 inch OLED TV it certainly makes a difference but it upscales 720p/1080p content very well too (so clean Switch games like Mario Kart 8 and BOTW look razor sharp without any 'jaggies').
I think the increase in res was mostly pushed hard because most developers adapted to FXAA, object based motion blur and physical based rendering and that made the general presentation of most games a bit blurrier.
Unless you pair your 4k GPU with a really nice screen (i.e. LG 55" OLED or equivalent) there isn't a huge benefit to the resolution boost no matter how much super sampling Nvidia throws at it.

1080p can definitely get a bit blurry, depending on where you're sitting, and your TV, but it's hardly the first thing i'd focus my HW budget on, on that i agree.1440p is the sweet spot for PC gaming for me on my 27" monitor.

There isn't a "huge benefit" to the resolution bump in any scenario for games, it's a marginal gain at best. Unless you're pixel counting the vast majority (99%+) will never pick out an internal resolution 1080p or higher upscaled vs native. Assets don't have the detail, and the human eye is too flawed. I don't think devs use of PBR, FXAA or Motion Blur really had much to do with it. It's a technology driven by marketing.
Only tangentially related but I looked up some comparison pics of games running in native 4k vs DLSS. DLSS looked really impressive in most cases, but what also stunned my was how noisy some (modern) games look if you really pay attention. I mean in the past (way back) you almost cut yourself on something like Unreal Tournament running in 1024x768, but it also looked very clear. If you take a closer look at a modern game, it kinda looks like someone went over the pic with a small sponge. Maybe Control is especially bad about this. Makes we wonder if part of the benefit of 4k is partly that it cleans up some of the noise of modern rendering techniques. And DLSS seems even better at that than just native 4K in some cases.

Im still planning on getting a 3070Just checked the Dutch prices on the 3080:
Only game I've played that really kills it in 4k compared to 1080p is SFV- The weird paint/clay artstyle benefits massively by having more pixels, game looks kinda murky at 1080, compared to how crispy clean it is at 4k, or even 1440p.

799 Euro (US MSRP: $699) for a good brand (MSI/ASUS/Gigabyte)spoiler (click to show/hide)$943[close]
3090 comes in at less of a premium surprisingly 1549 - 1699 Euro depending on the model
90+? As in for the entire country? I get this is only 2 cards but seriously come on
Newegg Canada will have around 90+ stock for both RTX 3080 EVGA FTW3 and Zotac Trinity on launch day (https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/isrbwj/newegg_canada_will_have_around_90_stock_for_both/)If that's Canada, over they're gonna send 1, in a helicopter, directly to the Pope.Quote90+?

Nintex will get the netherlands only 3070 :biden
Watched a bunch of reviews/Bench.
3080 seems good, but sucks too much power and i don't have a 4K screen anyway (although 3440x1440 is close enough) so i think i'll aim for a 3070 next year (as soon as i find a good enough price).
Besides, a 3080 on my PC would be like a rocket engine on a FIAT Panda.
As for me I should have a 3090 on the way next week, have the ROG-STRIX-RTX3090-24G-GAMING

I know you're a rich-bitch weeb, but seriously: This was your first mistake. This is as bad as Tiesto buying a "gaming laptop," that shit is overpriced and depreciates quickly.
You'd get the same shit buying the parts yourself for much cheaper.
I always buy pre-built.

Sorry you're getting ripped off :(
Why is there no info on 3070 preorders ffs
For 4K gaming, the GeForce RTX 3090 is about 10-15% faster on average than the GeForce RTX 3080, and up to 50% faster than the TITAN RTX.
Since we built GeForce RTX 3090 for a unique group of users, like the TITAN RTX before it, we want to apologise upfront that this will be in limited supply on launch day. We know this is frustrating, and we’re working with our partners to increase the supply in the weeks to come.

Any of you nerds got a 2070 or 2080 for sale?I second this question.
Temps seem decent with system all on air (surprisingly given how few fans I have installed) but only tried Death Stranding so far (highest settings, 1440p, sans DLSS).Note your highest frequency, then lower the power limit in afterburner (my 2060S at 80% has no performance loss). Should lower temps even further.
Adjusted the GPU fan curve marginally to keep fans at 5% minimum below 30C, which dropped the idle temp by 20C+ without affecting noise much (though sans GPU system was dead quiet, will have to test more to see if I can improve this).
Idle: GPU @ 28C | CPU @ 32C (was ~28-30C prior to installing GPU)
Gaming: GPU @ 50C (average) / 60C (max) | CPU @ 54C (average) / 69C (max)
Note your highest frequency, then lower the power limit in afterburner (my 2060S at 80% has no performance loss). Should lower temps even further.

I mean fuck.. am I gonna have to buy a 3080 instead of a 3070????
So still worth it compared to a 1060 3gb you say

Yeah ill just preorder a 3070 when they go live but its hard to know which card from which manufacturer I wantGigabyte, MSI or ASUS is your best bet and EVGA but those are not very common in Europe.
as keen as i am on one of these, still fkin hard to justify spending twice as much on a gpu as one of the "expensive" new consoles with no games. like, the only thing that lures me is playing cyberpunk "as it was meant to be played". reminds me of when i wanted that voodoo card to play Diablo 2 in all it's glory.... then picked one up two years later for fuck all.
tbh, i had no idea at the time really why the 3dfx cards were so much better, just pc game magazines had convinced me the 3dfx proprietary glide api was the shit and i needed it. but i didn't even know what an api was.
PC gaming in general kills the console experience, but I still think if you have a half decent 10xx or 20xx card a 30xx is probably not suuuuuuper nessecary until we get further into the next gen. even something like an amd 5600xt or 5700xt is still doing work.as keen as i am on one of these, still fkin hard to justify spending twice as much on a gpu as one of the "expensive" new consoles with no games. like, the only thing that lures me is playing cyberpunk "as it was meant to be played". reminds me of when i wanted that voodoo card to play Diablo 2 in all it's glory.... then picked one up two years later for fuck all.

Free multiplayer
Way better/sooner sales
Adjustable settings
Cheap expandable storage
More controller input options
Mods
Many thousands of games from previous generations
Injectable stuff like reshade
Steam input. Honestly, this is the one reason I will never buy another console. Gyro in every game is too valuable.
High end VR headsets. My Index won't work with ps5 or xsex.
And that is just off the top of my head.
As a console chad I onever quite realised how big these fucking graphics cards are :jeanlucThat's so they don't overheat :trumps
AMD says they're working on an answer to DLSS with their partners (which I assume is Microsoft).
Without DLSS they just aren't competitive when it comes to ray tracing performance.

I think thats really good news, should mean I should still be able to get one within the next two months. Might buy it for my birthday then, a few days before Cyberpunk 2077 launches. A great birthday present.Sold out as far as I can see and won't be back in stock until 2021 :idont
By then the dust will have settled a bit, and good reviews will be out as well.

My co-worker wanted one but dragged his feet ordering, when I kept sending him links.
When finally one was in stock he said: "What? 600 Euro for a GPU?" and I'm like dude, you're getting a GPU for 600 that would've cost you 1000 a week ago.
I've had known he'd balk on the price I would've sold him my 2070 Super for 400 and got the 3070 myself. :doggy

wonder what this means for benchmarks.
seems mental that up until now, both vendors just completely ignored a free 5-10% performance boost button that came as part of the PCIe 3 standard years ago.
And the 3070?Toss up between 6800 and 3700. 1-2 fps difference in select games at 1440p and 4k, advantage 6800 at 1080p.

How the hell are you people finding these? Every time I get the chance to check a place, everything is sold out.For some reason and I have absolutely no explanation for this Gigabyte has pretty much cornered the Dutch market in sales and supply and they always ship faster than any other brand.
do you gotta have light up RAM to use one of these
:neogaf
Congrats boi,after I sell this 1060 im also gonna order oneSome brands have already started patching, I think it was MSI or Asus that patched the B450 already.
Need a new mobo tho or might just wait to see if they patch the x470
I gave up, fuck this shit. Ordered an overclocked rtx 2060 to replace my ancient r9 380, I’ll just replace that with a newer card once I’m not having to use a fucking botnet to get a new card below scalper prices.It's a fine little card. I have a 2060S and will use it until it claps out on me (or I can get double the perf for <300€ :doge).
I already have 32GB ram..sadly I cant get it to run above 2666mhz..even though its a 3000mhz kit.

Are prebuilt PCs still a thing? I guess I could check my local Microcenter.
My niece wants a gaming PC for her 13th birthday next month and I thought about building one for her, but I haven't been following this shit for about 5 years now and I see even old GPUs are selling at ridiculous prices nowadays. I figured prebuilt just might be a way to avoid all this nonsense. I wanted to get/build her something for around $800 or less with a decent CPU and a weak/cheap GPU that she could swap out later on. I might build a new PC end of this year or early next year, so I could give her my GTX1070 at that point.
She already has a mouse, keyboard, headphones, and just got a decent 1080p monitor for Christmas, so all that's needed is the PC itself. Let me know if there's a better thread to ask this.
Same, either my PSU or my motherboard is dead/dying.Did you remove your RTX 3070 when you brought it in?
PC wont turn on unless I flip the PSU switch on and off ??? RAM lights up but nothing happens.
Gonna bring it to a PC shop to get it fixed tomorrow, cant be assed to test everything myself.
At least a PSU or a mobo isnt too costly, hopefully its the PSU. Right now I have the PC on for 2 days and I just havent turned it off.

I mean, how much do you trust those people :doge
long shot but try replacing your cmos battery in the mobo first. if that doesn't work does sound much more likely to be your PSU. i'd replace it and just make sure you can return it if that doesn't solve the issue, they'll charge you the cost of a mobo or psu to do the work when it would only take an hour of your time
So u guys are saying I should just replace the PSU myself but first check the CMOS battery? Thats just a normal CR2025 battery right? I think I have those lying around..Buy a Fractal Design ION PSU.
If that doesnt work replace the MOBO?

Yeah but to replace the psu I have to rewire everything myself right? I had a guy help me out put the pc together 😬
kicking myself for not going against the grain and getting a 6800 when they were cheap. rdna2 platform is coming along and great at 1440p. 3070s were going for more than 6800s here and i nearly picked one up the other day. alas all sold out now :(At this point if you're in the market for a new GPU get whatever is available at a decent price RTX 2000/3000 or AMD 5000/6000 series.

whoa, people are really dark on rdna2 huh. take away the few games that implement dlss and rt well though and you have the 6800 xt performing on par with the 3080 (@1440p which is where im at on pc). https://www.techspot.com/review/2191-geforce-rtx-3080-vs-radeon-6800-xt/
what to do.....
We're at a point that the US government has asked Taiwan to help out with the car chip shortage and I noticed RAM prices are now shooting up as well.I'll never get to build a new PC. :'(
long shot but try replacing your cmos battery in the mobo first. if that doesn't work does sound much more likely to be your PSU. i'd replace it and just make sure you can return it if that doesn't solve the issue, they'll charge you the cost of a mobo or psu to do the work when it would only take an hour of your time
Yeah but to replace the psu I have to rewire everything myself right? I had a guy help me out put the pc together 😬
you could buy the same one and if ur supply is modular unplug the cables at the old psu end and plug them into the new psu hopefully without having to unseat it for a quick test. if you get a different psu swap. out the cables, they look the same but different manufacturers psu cables or even within the same company but different model don't work between psu's.
you should def just do it anyway. there are prob only 4 cables to plug in: motherboard, cpu, gpu, sata drives. easier than a 3+ lego set.
Ehm in the past two days I discovered that if I unplug my front USB extension hub on the front of the case which powers my K95 RBG Corsair and CM310 mouse, the PC boots as normal without having to flip the PSU switch ??? ???
Could that be the problem then? Maybe some bios setting? The USB rail getting too much voltage?
??? ??? please halp so I dont needlessly install a PSU into my pc

Im not sure that I have but I also havent changed anything since it started doing this.
I dont want to spend 125 on a new PSU if I dont have to so maybe I have to trouble shoot this
How much watt is that PSU you're using?
Could the USB extension hub just be faulty? Should I try plugging it into a different port and see if its still the same?
No but my bios got reset so I have to make sure it put my memory to 1333mhz againRyzen 2000-series maxes out at 2933 mhz. XMP support is hit and miss on that generation of chipsets too.
Dunno why but the XMP profiles on my board just dont seem to work. They are 3000mhz sticks I believe but they wont go higher than 2666mhz
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/X470-GAMING-PRO#support-cpuAll the way at the bottom there's a beta BIOS.
According to this it doesnt support it (yet?) So yeah
Gigabyte generally makes good cards, I would snag that if you can at all. Jealous, I keep entering for 3060ti, 3070, 3080, and various AMD cards and can't ever get a win. Congrats!I just kept entering for the 3070 and 3080 cards. It's been weeks now. Of course I finally get one during the month that I planned to keep my spending down. ::)
The mobo I would sell on ebay or whatever just because I hate micro ATX as a form factor unless you're specifically building in a micro case, but I would never try to do that because I have sausage fingers and need space to maneuver around in when building.
how much is a 6700xt in the newegg shuffle?
how much is a 6700xt in the newegg shuffle?
Depends on which model you get but basically like twice the msrp for the reference, lol
The card was about $900, then it got paired with a mobo I don't need and will just sell on ebay that was about $200. Add in tax and shipping and shit. I'll defray the cost by selling my 1080ti since that has no real upside going forward other than just being a really good rasterization beast.
graphics cards boxes are so wack now, where are the hot babes and sick dragons of yesteryear :tocry

First and foremost, FSR, as AMD likes to call it, will be another one of AMD’s GPUOpen technologies, meaning that it will be published open source and free for developers to use. And not only will developers be able to use it on AMD GPUs, but they will be able to use it on NVIDIA GPUs as well.
AMD is not going into the specific technical underpinnings of the execution model here – I’m assuming this is being implemented as a shader – but they are confirming that it doesn’t require any kind of tensor or other deep learning hardware. As a result, the technology can be used not only on recent AMD Radeon RX 6000 series cards, but also the RX 5000 series, RX 500 series, and Vega series. Meanwhile, though it won’t be officially supported to the same extent on NVIDIA cards, according to AMD FSR will work (on day one) on NVIDIA cards going back as far as the Pascal-based GTX 10 series (which pre-dates DLSS support). In fact about the only modern graphics hardware not supported at this point are the current-generation game consoles; AMD may get there one day, but for now they’re focusing on the PC side of things.
At this point AMD is not disclosing which games will support the technology, but the messaging right now is that developers will need to take some kind of an active role in implementing the tech. Which is to say that it’s not sounding like it can simply be applied in a fully post-processing fashion on existing games ala AMD’s contrast adaptive sharpening tech.
Following its June 22nd launch, AMD will be posting FSR to GPUOpen. Overall the company is stating that over 10 “game studios and engines” in 2021 will implement FSR, with more details to come on the 22nd. Expect to see Godfall among these game, as AMD is using it as their example game for today’s announcement.
Are Newegg's shitty combos pretty much the only way to get GPUs close to MSRP? Could have got in on a 3060/70/80 today but who wants to deal with the hassle of having to then pawn of the other components?
I heard being a miner card isn't even that bad because most of the time people are cooling them properly/not blasting them at high temps because they want them to be stable.
ran a few stress tests and couldn't get anything to go very hot - gpu peaked ~80c and the cpu ~76c at peak. big thing i think messes people up with the 5800x is the default TDP is waaaay too high. i modified the TDP of the cpu closer to what amd recommend in their specs but don't have set by default for whatever reason (142 down to 112 watts). kinda fucked up they do this, but whatever, meant i got a relatively cheap CPU partially because people report this cpu running so damn hot and it being a bad buy and the "odd one in the middle" with "no strong use case" between the 5600 and 5900x :p got peak temps down from ~85c to ~75 at peak load with fans nearly silent. actually improved single core performance too which is also weird af. might try bump up the wattage a little as i have a beefy ekwb 360 aio cooler, but yeah, p whack default settings by amd. look into undervolting if you have this cpuThe various power limits (PPT, TDC, and EDC) are set by the motherboard maker. The defaults might not be stock if they're being particularly cheeky. Gotta get those extra pixels on the benchmark graph. ::)
Uggggh I got selected for a 3070ti in the Newegg shuffle. It's not really THAT much of an upgrade over the 6700 I have, tho. Think I'll pass.Ask a friend if they've been trying to get one and sell it to them at cost then. These things are still hard to get. How much is it?
TSMC hikes chip prices up to 20% amid supply shortage
5600 and 5800 are both on sale. Most reviews I've seen recommend the 5600, but the 5800 is only $50 more. They also mention that the 5600 comes with a cooler, but I haven't seen anyone mention if it's actually good or not, so I think I'll go with the 5800.I got the 5800X mainly for the additional cores. As a consumer you don't buy a CPU for 12 months (like the tech Tubers) and the 2 extra cores will matter in the long run.
I thought about going with the new Intel CPUs, but apparently the mobos for it are expensive right now?
Anything that I need to look out for when it comes to mobos and ram? You already mentioned on the last page that I should stay away from Gigabyte mobos.Yeah, I had a difficult time with mine but they've fixed most of the issues with the B550 platform after a couple of BIOS updates.
NVIDIA is reportedly looking to reduce orders for 5 nm wafers from TSMC as it anticipates a significant drop in demand from both gamers and crypto-currency miners. Miners are flooding the market with used GeForce RTX 30-series graphics cards, which gamers are all too happy to buy, affecting NVIDIA's sales to both segments of the market. Before the crypto-currency crash of Q1-2022, NVIDIA had projected good sales of its next-generation GeForce GPUs, and prospectively placed orders for a large allocation of 5 nm wafers from TSMC. The company had switched back over to TSMC from Samsung, which makes 8 nm GPUs from the RTX 30-series.
With NVIDIA changing its mind on 5 nm orders, it is at the mercy of TSMC, which has made those allocations (and now faces a loss). It's incumbent on NVIDIA to find a replacement customer for the 5 nm volumes it wants to back out from. Chiakokhua (aka Retired Engineer), interpreted a DigiTimes article originally written in Chinese, which says that NVIDIA has made pre-payments to TSMC for its 5 nm allocation, and now wants to withdraw from some of it. TSMC is unwilling to budge—it could at best hold off shipments by a quarter to Q1-2023, allowing NVIDIA to get the market to digest inventory of 8 nm GPUs; and NVIDIA is responsible for finding replacement customers for the cancelled allocation.
The same article paints a different picture for AMD: the company has reduced orders for 7 nm and 6 nm nodes; but its 5 nm orders are unaffected. AMD makes not its its next-generation RDNA3 GPUs on 5 nm, but also its next-generation "Zen 4" CPU chiplets. Any drop in demand for GPU silicon would be internally adjusted by increasing "Zen 4" chiplet orders. AMD's growth as a processor manufacturer is no longer bottlenecked by technology-leadership, but by volumes. The company could jump at the prospect of higher 5 nm allocation, as it would enable it to increase output of "Zen 4" processors to meet rising demand of high-margin server processors with its upcoming EPYC "Genoa" and "Bergamo" processors.
Debating what path I should take here.CPU's are fantastic value these days. Just make sure you have enough cores and threads.
I’m on the 1000 series (1060) and to put it gently, it sucks ass and wheezes and spittles running some games at 900p 60fps. I’ve a 1440p 144hz monitor and rarely am I seeing the benefits in games. Some games I’d classify as borderline unplayable. CPU isn’t hot either. Some intel mid range 4000 chip. Regardless, gotta put together a new desktop.
One decision I’ve already made is going for a sff case. Takes the top end cards out for thermal and space limitations. Waiting for the 4060s and 4070s could be a ways off. Depending on discounts and sales, thinking a 3060 as a crutch for now is best. Still a massive improvement. Don’t do too many CPU intensive tasks so instead of waiting on the 13th gen, a 12700 should be fine for some time.
Insane pricing that's designed to make the glut of 30 series cards they over-manufactured look reasonably priced. Who even needs these? A 3080 with DLSS will get you 4K/60 on literally everything but Cyberpunk and Flight Sim.
The early DF coverage of these seems like it'll be pretty icky again btw, just like with the 30 series (even though those were actually good cards!). Looks like they'll be testing on Nvidia's terms again and obfuscating raw performance #s. Gross.

The 4090's power connectors are melting downI thought this was a weird meme the first time i saw it and not what was actually happening to guys with 4090s :lol

Right now I have a MSI 470x Gaming mobo, with 32gb ram and a 2600x cpu. If I want to upgrade is a B550 mobo a much better choice to pair it with a 5600x? I saw on YT it can help like 10fps in some games just because the mobo is faster. But those mobos are also about 150/160€ so im wondering is that worth itUpgrading from a 2600X CPU is a big uplift I would definitely go for it. Not to mention it gives you another upgrade path to NVMe SSD's.

More bullshit from Nvidia, a 'new' RTX 3060 with 8GB instead of 12GB but the same price or even more expensive while being 35% slower :lol

I’m looking forward to where the mid-range refresh falls in performance. I’d like to replace my 2060 but if I’m spending $400-500, I’d like it to be a distinctly substantial improvement.Seems to me that the only reason these $1000 GPU's exist is to increase the mid range pricing too.
Sat down and calculated the rough cost of putting together a new low-mid range desktop. Just south of $1400. Some parts are costlier because I’m going mATX, which has a knock on effect of needing DDR5 ram. That’s ok. Way things have progressed I’ll end up needing a somewhat capable gaming laptop next year. Experiments with making a sff pc and traveling around with it failed. The option exists, depending. And while I’m going with a 3060, the PSU has space to support an upgrade. I’m even considering reusing my old shit GPU for now.What sort of built are you looking at?
Oh well i did the upgrade anyway and its pretty damn tasty :leon :aah
I’m sticking with Intel + nvidia, with some other fairly conservative ideas like air cooling over AIOs. Bouncing between NRP200 (Max variation) and Torrent Nano. Going with the latter. Both are mITX. CPU will either be 13600k or 12700k. There are pretty decent deals around both atm. DDR5 is down to the mITX Choice. Some asus b660 one. Which raises another issue in needing to update the bios if going 13th gen.
But really at this point it’s an everything upgrade. Not just gaming. Some components on my current PC are from 10 years ago. There are a lot of inconveniences from how dated it is.
Another dated concept I still have is the OS and programs on an SSD, games and etc on slower cheaper drives. But Samsung pro NVMes are relatively cheap now. Their evo brand is even cheaper. So I’m thinking a 1 or 2tb nvme drive, then I’ll reuse a semi new 2.5 ssd for storage.
Having one device to fit both needs is the next purchase.
Although the performance of those gaming laptops are awesome they are useless for anything but gaming.
A co-worker of mine had one with a GPU (3060 or something) and while impressive, the battery only lasted for 90 minutes or so. :lol
My Asus Zenbook with a Ryzen 5825U can't do much gaming but it easily lasts 7 or 8 hours.
