In your own words can you tell me how the CA scandal was conducted? I'll wait

CS:GO is a great benchmark because there is a lot of data on it and it is largely CPU-bound so it works great to test CPUs or CPU/GPU scaling.

I own a 3090 and not upgrading.
But actual 4K gaming at a high framerate is not attainable with the 3090 with everything on ultra...
So if someone wants to make up a reason to upgrade I'm sure they can find it

Does the game run badly? I am using the cheapest 1060 6GB I was able to buy many years ago and high visuals at 1080p average at 48fps. I am actually really surprised how well it runs on my shitty old card.

I’m still happy with myGTX 1080 for now. Definitely showing it’s age but I don’t have the time for the latest games anyways. Might wait until next generation and hope for something more power efficient at the performance level I want, and a price to match

It was supposed to be the 4070 but they still got a lot of 30xx cards to sell

Jesus, you were really going to jump from the 3080 to the 4080? I mean, the RT numbers look great, but why?

What's there to worry about? No one is buying this... are they?

I game on a 48" OLED that I sit about 3 feet away from, 4k is absolutely something you want in that scenario

It’s bigger than 80 and I sit about that distance from it. Trust me, the difference between 4k and 2160 on a screen that big and clear is absolutely massive.

Unless your giant OLED is 80" and you are sitting about 2.5 metres from it you don't really need 4k.

Just like how webcams all only turn on when the light is on? 🤔

Yes? There shouldn't be any possible release thar should make you switch a year old super expensive card out. That'd be fucking stupid of you to do no matter what Nvidia release.

I’m getting a 4090 whenever I can find one easily. I don’t care about any of the politics or complaints I’ve seen, I just want ray tracing maxed in 4k at 60 fps and the card does that so. I’m sold. The price isn’t that crazy especially considering I’ll get 700 back out of my 3080.
The card is a waste of time for anyone not playing in 4k but for people like me playing on a giant OLED from the couch this is a huge deal and totally worth it.
