I can wait for this generation of Nvidia cards to crash and burn...they're already doing the latter

That’s why I proposed this innovative idea nobody has ever had before me. 👍

I don’t play too many high fidelity games (because my CPU is the pits) but it has held up well for years now, I don’t plan on losing it just yet.

Top end AIB cards never made any sense performance to price. The base versions and FE always were way better if you cared about the value.

Most of the extras don't really make the card any where near faster % wise for the % increase. Lower temps , better looking, form factor type stuff is nice but meh.

Also driver support and software are just better on Nvidia, unfortunately. This has been one of the things that keeps me away from amd. I dealt with their drivers and software for a like 10 years and I just don't want to anymore.

Want to buy one? I do not.

Look at mr moneybags who can afford a used car!

Id only buy a 4090 if it came with a free air conditioner.

1k isn’t what it used to be though 😅

No it hasnt, AIBs used to complain on there razer thin margins on cards like the premium 1660Tis when NVDA cared about MSRP, They can restrict supply to AIBs which is basically a death sentenece but NVDA doesnt care anymore, thats why AMD cards are below MSRP for AIBs because they care.

Going to miss evga. The only AIB card I would buy. Customer service and warranty was amazing.

Nope...

Have you met consumers?

They spend crazy money on tons of stuff.

I’m gonna jump on AMD or Intel train for the next one homies. Maybe I go AMD CPU+GPU or Intel for that theme. I’m getting sick of NVIDIA shenanigans.

I just upgraded my 1050ti to a 3060 I scored locally for $210.

I game occasionally so there is no way I am dropping 1k on a GPU

The 1050ti held its own

Because if I had money to burn and use Ray Tracing..

Or

There are some productive apps that Nvidia is just vastly superior

what is the pricing have anything to do with micro center?

Fuck nVidia. I'm waiting until December 13th for the new Radeons. If they perform anywhere near spec, you'd have to be insane to buy a 4080/4090.

>AMD Radeon RX 7900 Series graphics cards are expected to be available from AMD.com beginning December 13, 2022, and from leading board partners including ASRock, ASUS, Biostar, Gigabyte, MSI, PowerColor, Sapphire, Vastarmor, XFX and Yeston beginning mid-December. The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX has an SEP of $999 USD, while the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT has an SEP of $899 USD.

Nope, my 2070 does just fine

Same. None of the 40 series tbh. Nvidia is like Apple now in my opinion. I‘ll only buy if my stuff breaks down. And not the newest stuff either.

And if either or both think they will make sure their stuff breaks on purpose after some time? Will leave them behind completely. In their segments they seem to have too much influence/power and abuse it to nobody’s surprise I guess.

I‘m also over all the AAA games that are just trying to rip the players off nowadays. Indy games really have become so much better and more interesting (and won’t hopefully need a 40s for a long time lol ).

Rant over. Sorry.

Partners have always had more expensive cards than the reference. The problem now is that even the OC cards from the partners aren’t as good as the FE cards.

How about just not buying it. Anybody thought of that before?

How is your 960 these days? I'm about to build my son's first computer and I plan on using a 960 for his GPU since its essentially a starter build. Was able to get it for like 25 bucks from a friend, so im hoping its good, but if it isn't its not a huge waste.

Holyshit I thought I was going crazy.... i did read your comment correctly the first time as it turns out.

What a guy
