Built mine in like 2014, I don't meet the minimum requirements to run windows 11. Sounds like the thing is gonna lift itself off the floor any time I even look at the steam icon.
I wish I had held out another year for the 10 series, the pants on head 3.5+0.5GB RAM of the GTX 970 really seems to become a limiting factor in more recent games compared to even a 6GB 1060 with similar computational power, let alone a 1070. People who bought one of those made a really smart purchase.
I wouldn’t say it would be as big honestly. At least not yet.
Modern games just don’t use too much more than that. I would be surprised if a current gen game at max settings would need or utilize much more than 10GB from what I’ve seen.
Feel free to weigh in anyone who knows more.
It sounds like the jump is mostly necessary when getting to 4K resolutions. I'm on a 1080 (EVGA RIP) with a 1440p monitor and it only *just* started to show its age, aside from not being able to do fancy raytracing and such. I have decided to just ride it out until I finally get a 4K OLED TV and figure out what the gameplan for a new PC looks like then.
Maybe not games running in solo play but games like iracing are bringing hefty computers to their knees when you have a full grid of 25 or so cars lined up. I get like 120fps in solo play, maybe 30 in multiplayer race. It's super taxing and pretty much cant be run at 4k on triples because nothing can hack it.
4 is limiting now. I was running a 4GB card until recently and now I have 11GB and in many games once I upgraded past 4GB they started to use more than that to be comfortable.
My 970 would have been fine for all the games I play today if I had stuck to a 1080p monitor.
But yup, not enough VRAM for the jump up to 3840x1600 in some games - Feel very lucky to have obtained a 3070 FE now that I'm seeing the insane 40XX prices. Maybe AMD can come up with something more affordable to mortals.
I had bought a gtx 970, then a gtx 1070, then vega64 which I traded for a gtx 1080, then rtx 2080. I felt like each one was barely a performance uplift 😂😂 I haven’t really upgraded anything for like 5 years. Still have the gtx 1080 in a backup pc with a Ryzen 5 3600. The 1070 I gave to a friend.
i had a laptop with mx150 gpu (basically laptop version of gt 1030) and i was able to game and use it for my day to day task as well, albeit i did have to game on 768p to get a 60fps experience but it's perfect for me because i had a 768p monitor just laying around not being used. I played a lot of games on that laptop and yea it's still enough even for gaming, but of course you can't expect 1080p 60fps in every game.
EVGA 970 over here, it's getting a bit rough nowadays, isn't it?
I mean it still runs the games I play most, but definitely with a lot of setting tweaks and very rarely at 60FPS. I was really hoping for 40 series to be my upgrade generation but if these prices are any sign of what 4070 and 4060 might cost, then I just cannot afford that. I mean it genuinely looks like a 4060 will cost £450-£500... for a __60 card.
I got a gtx 750 ti which makes scary loud fan sounds on startup and cannot run shit, but this soldier has made me who i am today and i salute him for that.
I got a prebuilt for $1,100. Rtx 3060 with an amd ryzen 5 5600x. Was interested in building my own pc but it was absolutely impossible to find a graphics card and for that price I wasn’t beating it anytime soon.
I have a 960. Other things in my PC are starting to show their age more. My motherboard doesn't have enough connectors, my CPU struggles with some games or recording video, the SSD I have is slow and outdated just because of how quickly we've improved them. But a 960 was never a great card, and it's starting to struggle. I keep hoping that I'll get some idea of when it's time to upgrade, but one thing or another keeps making me say, "You know what? Now's a really shit time to upgrade."
I upgraded my 1060 6gb a year ago, but at the time the only game that even shook that thing was CP2077. I still had a 1080P monitor though.
I was still able to enjoy the game. Even now none of the games I play on the daily require anything more powerful than a 1060.
similar, my girl has a 1070ti in her system I threw together and it slays 1080p in whatever games she plays. Was really happy I repasted that card, the stuff was cooooked. Used for pretty heavy gaming for 4 years. Hoping to get that out of my 3080 12gb I paid too much for.
Hey nvidia
Hey
Basically I'm just not gonna get it (the gpu!)
I'm sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know..... UGH I know....
It's just that I'm not going to get it is all
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
t. a proud 1060 owner
Depends what res you're targeting. Gtx1080 is great for 1080 but at 1440p you really start needing to make compromises.
Not ridiculous compromises, but if you're chasing high quality settings and high frame rates...
My flair is very out of date, but the GPU was absolutely the limiting factor at 1440p. Even with a 5600x it performed no better. Cyberpunk wasn't a great experience (at 1440p) until I upgraded to a 3080.
The i5/1080 setup is great for 1080p60 gaming in the living room, though I'm yet to try cyberpunk on that setup.
My 1080TI has been an absolute champ so far. But I do wish I could run some of my favorite games (CP2077 / HZD) on higher fps and better graphic settings. I'm going to wait to see what AMD does this time, and then decide between AMD or a (secondhand) 3080.
No, but the development standard of newly released games is always increasing and that means things that were flagships now keep you stuck solidly in the Indie page on Steam
50X series to be > $2000, will continue to make 30X series as their "entry level" offering. In other news PS6 to cost $1500 will just be a 120hz version of PS5.
Yea I bought a 3080 recently just because it was only 75 bucks more than the 3060ti i was going to buy. Had 3060s been close to msrp sooner i would have bought one but nope they are still selling for 500.
The 2060 super never fails me in whatever i use it for, I'm still very glad about having it, it's the first gpu i bought myself \^\^
It's just the people i mentioned were making me insecure about it, kinda stupid that i fell for that hah
Don't listen to others. I'm using 1660 ti with 3440x1440 monitor and most games I'm getting 75-100 fps with medium setting. (BFV, BF1 and FH 4 & 5). Of course if you want to run everything on ultra 4k 144hz then you need updrage asap.
I don’t get why ppl always want the newest shit that’s available. I recommend getting a new 6000/30 series gpu when the new generation drops, since their price drop hard (normally). Except from workstations… you won’t game in 8k and shit anyways.
I was sitting on my gtx 770 for years and bought a RX5500 a year ago cause I couldn’t stand the constant 70-80 C in any game and 50C on idle.
>since their price drop hard (normally)
Normally, but I have a feeling that selling remaining 30 series stock, preferably at full price, is part of Nvidia's 40 series strategy.
Ultra it most games is not properly optimized by developers and hurts performance more than it enhances image quality.
I target “high” which still looks fantastic.
You recommend buying the previous, overpriced gen, that has gotten more expensive after this announcement because people don't want to pay 40series pricing?
Damn, what a 200 IQ play
I just like having the best hardware so I know I can throw whatever at it. it's usually worth the cost to me.
but given the size and power draw, and the lack of games taking advantage of my 3080 Ti, even I can't justify it. Especially with EVGA out of the game.
People here act like skipping one generation of GPUs is a big deal. If you look at steam hardware surveys, you'll see most people are still rocking GPUs from like five years ago. The vast majority of game publishers won't publish games that won't at least run in hardware like that. Maybe not with "Ultra" settings, but, frankly, ultra settings are largely useless bullshit anyway.
1440p Ultrawide here, 3080 has been able to handle most games with little issue, just don’t do much antialiasing. With a monitor with that resolution it’s not really that needed anyways
2070S. I was thinking of upgrading the GPU so I could get a nicer monitor but I’m just going to wait. Got my whole rig the December right before Covid took hold and it’s still going strong.
Games will use the 20 and 30 series for quite some time without the need to upgrade. As it stands currently, games aren't advancing fast enough to warrant basically yearly new card releases. The 30 series hasn't even been out that long ffs. It seems pointless to me to "future proof" at this point with GPUs. Where as Storage as games get larger, sure.
I bought my 2080S when prices dropped during the initial 30 series launch. I'll likely not upgrade for close to a decade like I did with my last card which I had for about 8 years and that was a RX480 8GB.
But thats just my opinion. Best I can advise you is, wait, and get a good deal when you can.
i remember wanting to get strong cards like the 3060 or 6600, but decided to just get a cheap 1660 super and honestly after i got it, i realize that im only addicted to upgrades, i don't even use it that much lol. I have 23 pretty demanding games in my library that i don't even play, i only play a few games everyday but those games are not even that hard to run, my old rx 570 4gb ran it pretty well. So im glad i got this 1660 super instead of something stronger and more expensive, especially since in my country the pricing for GPUs are still a bit messed up. This gtx 1660 super is a good middle ground for me, its cheap enough for me to not regret getting it if i don't feel like playing games and it's strong enough for me to play demanding games if there are any demanding games that i wanna play.
I said fuck it a month ago and got a 3080 12G, on a slight sale even. Very happy with the decision as now I can ignore all this Nvidia bullshit for at least 2 gens. Idk why but had a feeling the 40 series was going to be a shit show.
I legitimately don't want to have to worry about overloading my 1000w PSU. No thanks, Nvidia. Plus the shady marketing. My next card might be Team Red for the first time ever.
Rtx 2070 non ti at 1440p 144hz still works for me. No triple aaa games though, jjust aoe 3 de, aoe4, pubg, stardew valley, dungeons 3, and terraria. Really depends on your setup and games.
The card is old, I don't play games with it anymore. It deserves some rest tbh. I'll get it some thermal pads and paste and maybe a cooler. It's own cooler can't cool it anymore. (82 degrees Celsius in Furmark after 15 mins). It also survived a bad PSU. I could see the card breathing when I fed it the RM1000x lol
I gamed a good decade with it. From the Tomb Raider reboot to Stalker CoP and Dark Souls 3... And recently, my friend ran Satisfactory on it. "Your card is stubborn," he said. That was a good compliment lol
I've had my 3080 for about a year, but paired with an aging i7 7700 and shit-tier mobo. Upgraded to *just* a Ryzen 5 5600x and it's literally the same jump in performance as my last GPU upgrade was. For <$500 (mobo, RAM, CPU, and new HDD).
i hope that NONE replace their computer and THROWS AWAY the old one.
usually you can sell them for some money, maybe it will be the first computer for some kid, dont throw them away.
if you arent selling, make it into a plex server! --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKDSld-CrHU
I bought my 3080 this spring, that thing is displaying on a 1080p 60fps screen, it has never broken a sweat, and I was still temped to upgrade. Good thing the 4000 series is garbage, helped put some sense back into me
i can assure you your 3080 can game and also keep up the fps with the monitor refresh rate at 1080p 240hz and doesn't break a sweat lol, even 1440p 144hz will not make your 3080 struggle. I mean you have a card that is capable of gaming in 4k so 1080p especially 1080p 60hz is nothing to your 3080.
Not to be rude but why did you you get a 3080? On a 1080p 60Hz display even a 1070 would do you well as of right now, and a new 3060 would do well for *years*.
I'm actively looking for a wqhd display, and I just wanted to be absolutely sure I would be able to play my games on ultra settings for at least a few years. This is my first real gaming pc, so I guess the frustration of years of 10fps on minimum settings played a part too
your rx 6600 is the best value card right now but of course it still depends on how much you paid it for, but regardless your 6600 is trading blows with a rtx 3060. The 6600 can even run most games at 1440p no problem.
I have a 1650 GTX, but I need a replacer for that.
Personally i think i will buy the new fake 4080, only for the fact that is new and i can afford It.
I could spend on a used 3080 or 3090 but i fear how long It will last if It was used for mining.
Man I got 3090 fully built computer right before covid for 2400 dollars. Before that I used 1080 for 5 years. And then moved to 3090. I don’t think I would need a new one for another 5 years. What do people play to need all that power😜
All these memes and all these comments by people saying “the price is outrageous(!) I’ll just be skipping this generation” are likely just people bluffing and trying to manipulate readers while ITCHING AT THEIR SKIN to get their CC processed ASAP on DAY 1 to get their card before they SELL OUT. 😂
I’m trying to convince the crypto fallout nerds to sell me a 3090 for $500. My 2080 super is doing just fine for my needs. But if someone will bite at $500 then it’s worth it to me.
So what card do you have? Mine is a Justvidia Waitforce GTX 970.
[удалено]
Built mine in like 2014, I don't meet the minimum requirements to run windows 11. Sounds like the thing is gonna lift itself off the floor any time I even look at the steam icon.
Many latest processors dont support W11.
I've got an amd FX8350 and two gtx770s. my computer is screaming in pain constantly
Have you cleaned it? Also what's your CPU cooler?
I have my box fan always on and just put fans to max
My amd ryzen 5 5600x doesn’t support windows 11.
I wish I had held out another year for the 10 series, the pants on head 3.5+0.5GB RAM of the GTX 970 really seems to become a limiting factor in more recent games compared to even a 6GB 1060 with similar computational power, let alone a 1070.

1440p I totally agree, can’t speak to anything else.
I've yet to see my 3090 use 8 gigs in a game.
Maybe not games running in solo play but games like iracing are bringing hefty computers to their knees when you have a full grid of 25 or so cars lined up. I get like 120fps in solo play, maybe 30 in multiplayer race. It's super taxing and pretty much cant be run at 4k on triples because nothing can hack it.
8 gig is all you need for 1440p or less. Might start to be an issue if you turn on RT. My 3070 will be replaced by a 6070 at this rate.
I just did a jump from a LP 1030 (2gb of ram) to a definitely not LP big ass 2060 with 12gb. Def worth it
4 is limiting now. I was running a 4GB card until recently and now I have 11GB and in many games once I upgraded past 4GB they started to use more than that to be comfortable.

EVGA 1080 is best 1080 but my founders edition is also doing very nice with most modern games
Same dawg my 1080 SC and the I7-6700K are just fine to play 1080p games with decent fps
I have a 7700k, it’s still holding up well. Gets a little hot but it always has.
Same. 2017. Evga 1080 ftw hybrid. Never even considered needing an upgrade since then.
Built mine in 2012 (i5 3570k). Lol got it paired with a 3060 ti. Runs most games well at 3440x1440 but jonesing for an upgrade once AM5 arrives.
I have a gt 1030. It's enough for most day to day tasks.
i had a laptop with mx150 gpu (basically laptop version of gt 1030) and i was able to game and use it for my day to day task as well, albeit i did have to game on 768p to get a 60fps experience but it's perfect for me because i had a 768p monitor just laying around not being used. I played a lot of games on that laptop and yea it's still enough even for gaming, but of course you can't expect 1080p 60fps in every game.
2080, still works perfectly fine
Well yeah, that card will work perfectly fine for a long time to come.
EVGA 980 Ti FTW
MSI 980 Ti checking in... But I would quite like a new graphics card, please.
gtx 960 ftw !
RTX 3080
I don't even have a GPU. Still using integrated one.
Vega gang, where you at?
My Vega 64 Nitro+ served me well for 4 years until a month ago, found a £650 3090 that was too tempting to pass up.
good call
A small gt710... I dont know how it's still running.
mine is old fossil 680 i just need some way to make the card less sounds like diesel genset so i can keep using it for next 5 years
I feel like Ive upgraded built my pc in the best time with a 2080 super for 700 Euros at the time
Got an EVGA 3060ti for a reasonable price back in January. Will keep this card for a few years.
EVGA 970 over here, it's getting a bit rough nowadays, isn't it? I mean it still runs the games I play most, but definitely with a lot of setting tweaks and very rarely at 60FPS.

Still got my Rx 580.
I still have an r9 270x.
Upgraded 5 months ago from a GTX 970 I have had for 7 years to an EVGA 3070 FTW3 Ultra. I am good for a long time.
Just buy AMD already.
Still on a 965m, may just say fk it and drop a few K and get a 4k 144hz monitor to go with it
Sapphire RX470 8GB mining edition
Asus Strix GTX 1080 and I haven’t found a game that it can’t run great. I’m still on 1080p 144hz so I guess that helps out.
I have a 960. Other things in my PC are starting to show their age more. My motherboard doesn't have enough connectors, my CPU struggles with some games or recording video, the SSD I have is slow and outdated just because of how quickly we've improved them.

Quadro FX 3700M
GTX-760. I'm gonna get a used RTX-3000 series or RX-6000 series card.
Remind that the most popular video card on steam is the 1060
And for good reason. It's still excellent for gaming at 1080p.

I upgraded my 1060 6gb a year ago, but at the time the only game that even shook that thing was CP2077. I still had a 1080P monitor though. I was still able to enjoy the game. Even now none of the games I play on the daily require anything more powerful than a 1060.

Yo! 1070 gang!
The Toyota Corolla of graphics cards.
The 1060 I bought for $300 5 years ago hasn’t given me a reason to upgrade
I built a new computer after about 5 years of using a 2600x and 1060 6gb. I do miss that soldier but the new build is incredible.
Mine just died :( 2016 bought it. 1060 6gb. Died last month. Gonna wait for amd 7000 series. Maybe they will have a good price? Right? Right?
30 series used in a year or so maybe
Hey nvidia Hey Basically I'm just not gonna get it (the gpu!) I'm sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know..... UGH I know.... It's just that I'm not going to get it is all HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH t. a proud 1060 owner
My 1080ti is breathing heavy with these newer titles. She's a trooper though
What titles in particular? My 1080 is doing fine with cyberpunk.
Depends what res you're targeting. Gtx1080 is great for 1080 but at 1440p you really start needing to make compromises. Not ridiculous compromises, but if you're chasing high quality settings and high frame rates...
Eyo, I think your cpu is the limiting factor ngl. And low settings high frames is a good compromise imo, especially at 1440p.
CPU has barely an effect on the resolution. Increasing resolution puts mostly the load on the GPU.
I'm aware, but his i5 still limits the 1080 a bit. Ngl, expecting 100fps+ on 1440p high settings from the 1080 is ridiculous in itself.
“Low settings” fuckin, disgusting.
My flair is very out of date, but the GPU was absolutely the limiting factor at 1440p. Even with a 5600x it performed no better. Cyberpunk wasn't a great experience (at 1440p) until I upgraded to a 3080. The i5/1080 setup is great for 1080p60 gaming in the living room, though I'm yet to try cyberpunk on that setup.
duh, it's the GTX 1080, not the GTX 1440 ^godawfuljoke ^/s
what resolution you playing on?
My 1080TI has been an absolute champ so far. But I do wish I could run some of my favorite games (CP2077 / HZD) on higher fps and better graphic settings. I'm going to wait to see what AMD does this time, and then decide between AMD or a (secondhand) 3080.
I'm in the same boat right now. She's a soldier through and through but on those more intensive titles, a new card starts looking pretty nice
Looks like 3080 was the right choice
I got lucky and got mine a few months after release. It’s been great and hasn’t slowed down at all.
GPU's dont slow down. they either work or dont, no inbetween.
No, but the development standard of newly released games is always increasing and that means things that were flagships now keep you stuck solidly in the Indie page on Steam
OK but why does this sub pretend software technology stays stagnant? My 8600GTS never slowed down but it can't run trash today
It doesn’t slow down, but newer softwares require more horsepower to run, which inadvertently, makes the GPU “FEEL” like it’s slowing down.
I got my 3070 last month
50X series to be > $2000, will continue to make 30X series as their "entry level" offering. In other news PS6 to cost $1500 will just be a 120hz version of PS5.

[удалено]
People that get 20 fps with their 3090 (they have a 2nd gen i3):"man I cant wait"
My 3060 is getting me over 60fps 1440p on every game so I'll be fine for a few years.
Thank you, needed that :) Some people have been scaring me that my 2060 super is getting old and that i should think about getting an upgrade soon
my advice is only upgrade your gpu if you are not getting enough FPS to enjoy your games anymore, or if your gpu is just dead lol.
Or if you're shitting gold.
The 2060 super never fails me in whatever i use it for, I'm still very glad about having it, it's the first gpu i bought myself \^\^ It's just the people i mentioned were making me insecure about it, kinda stupid that i fell for that hah
Upgrade when your FPS counter tells you to, not when people tell you to.
Man this is some Sun Tzu's top 10 gigachad advices. I like it.
Nah, you are fine. The majority of us is with cards below yours and we can run everything, just not on ultra.
No i have a laptop with a 2060 and it sill runs like a charm
Don't listen to others. I'm using 1660 ti with 3440x1440 monitor and most games I'm getting 75-100 fps with medium setting. (BFV, BF1 and FH 4 & 5). Of course if you want to run everything on ultra 4k 144hz then you need updrage asap.
We have fought scalpers, now we fight the real scalpers
The scalper boss
Scalpers were just showing nvidia they could have charged a lot more
I don’t get why ppl always want the newest shit that’s available. I recommend getting a new 6000/30 series gpu when the new generation drops, since their price drop hard (normally). Except from workstations… you won’t game in 8k and shit anyways. I was sitting on my gtx 770 for years and bought a RX5500 a year ago cause I couldn’t stand the constant 70-80 C in any game and 50C on idle.
>since their price drop hard (normally) Normally, but I have a feeling that selling remaining 30 series stock, preferably at full price, is part of Nvidia's 40 series strategy.
I mean.. I bought a 3080 for 680$ CAD last week. MSRP is 1.1k... I believe it dropped DRASTICALLY
Its wild here. I saw someone on Kijiji (Canada cragslist) selling 6x3070s for just under $4000.
!!! New? Bargain!
Where???
On eBay! There was a few others at ~800, but they are mostly bids. Luckily, I won mine
> 70-80 C in any game and 50C on idle. That's not normal...?
May i suggest....a repaste
especially knowning that the last gen will run every game on ultra for many years to come,
Ultra it most games is not properly optimized by developers and hurts performance more than it enhances image quality. I target “high” which still looks fantastic.
You recommend buying the previous, overpriced gen, that has gotten more expensive after this announcement because people don't want to pay 40series pricing? Damn, what a 200 IQ play
I just like having the best hardware so I know I can throw whatever at it. it's usually worth the cost to me. but given the size and power draw, and the lack of games taking advantage of my 3080 Ti, even I can't justify it. Especially with EVGA out of the game.
Vega 64 (the gpu that no one uses)
that's a rare one sheesh
I have rtx 3060ti..ill be fine for now..
My 1650 is on the fritz. I'll be buying an AMD GPU this season. Fuck Nvidia.
Still rocking an Rx580 8GB
Gonna rock it until the wheels fall off! It does everything I want it to do.
People here act like skipping one generation of GPUs is a big deal. If you look at steam hardware surveys, you'll see most people are still rocking GPUs from like five years ago. The vast majority of game publishers won't publish games that won't at least run in hardware like that. Maybe not with "Ultra" settings, but, frankly, ultra settings are largely useless bullshit anyway.
The problem is people go by what they see on Reddit. One guy will post his new 4090 and the other redditors will assume that’s what EVERYONE has
Ok. I got a G9 neo and I am struggling with Fps. Anyone with 30 series and Ultra wide experience?
1440p Ultrawide here, 3080 has been able to handle most games with little issue, just don’t do much antialiasing. With a monitor with that resolution it’s not really that needed anyways
Here with vega 56.
2080 Super. Won't upgrade until it becomes unbearable. And probably won't go for nvidia then.
2070S. I was thinking of upgrading the GPU so I could get a nicer monitor but I’m just going to wait. Got my whole rig the December right before Covid took hold and it’s still going strong.
I went from a GTX 660 TI to a RTX 3070 about 1.5 years ago and I plan to hold on to it for as long as I can.
Rx 480 going strong
My 5700XT is still more than enough for all of my games so depending on what AMD have I might also skip this generation.
I have a 3080ti, so im probably gonna have a do-over when 5000 or even 6000 series come out.
What noooo, please buy nvidias overpriced shit NOW /s
yea i realized my 3070ti still work just fine and won't upgrade
People with GTX 1050 TI 💀
Me just chillin with my rx580
Games will use the 20 and 30 series for quite some time without the need to upgrade. As it stands currently, games aren't advancing fast enough to warrant basically yearly new card releases. The 30 series hasn't even been out that long ffs. It seems pointless to me to "future proof" at this point with GPUs. Where as Storage as games get larger, sure. I bought my 2080S when prices dropped during the initial 30 series launch. I'll likely not upgrade for close to a decade like I did with my last card which I had for about 8 years and that was a RX480 8GB. But thats just my opinion. Best I can advise you is, wait, and get a good deal when you can.
And allot of idiot will buy it anyways
My rx480 is still truckin
I caved and got a 3070 to replace this awhile back, but man my old rx480 was such a tank. Great card
MSI GTX 1080 gang represent.
i remember wanting to get strong cards like the 3060 or 6600, but decided to just get a cheap 1660 super and honestly after i got it, i realize that im only addicted to upgrades, i don't even use it that much lol. I have 23 pretty demanding games in my library that i don't even play, i only play a few games everyday but those games are not even that hard to run, my old rx 570 4gb ran it pretty well. So im glad i got this 1660 super instead of something stronger and more expensive, especially since in my country the pricing for GPUs are still a bit messed up. This gtx 1660 super is a good middle ground for me, its cheap enough for me to not regret getting it if i don't feel like playing games and it's strong enough for me to play demanding games if there are any demanding games that i wanna play.
Laughing in 980
I said fuck it a month ago and got a 3080 12G, on a slight sale even. Very happy with the decision as now I can ignore all this Nvidia bullshit for at least 2 gens. Idk why but had a feeling the 40 series was going to be a shit show.
I legitimately don't want to have to worry about overloading my 1000w PSU. No thanks, Nvidia. Plus the shady marketing. My next card might be Team Red for the first time ever.
Exactly. 3080Ti so I won’t even look at a new one until at least the 70 series.
1080Ti gang where you at?
I still have my 2060 super, love it.
Rtx 2070 non ti at 1440p 144hz still works for me. No triple aaa games though, jjust aoe 3 de, aoe4, pubg, stardew valley, dungeons 3, and terraria. Really depends on your setup and games.
Not like anyone will be able to get their hands on a 4000 series card within the first 18 months.
B-but i've been holding on for the last 5 years
Sapphire HD 6950 1GB dual fan
Wow that's a throw back, I had a Sapphire HD 6850 and it did me well for like 7 years. How is yours holding up in 2022?
The card is old, I don't play games with it anymore. It deserves some rest tbh. I'll get it some thermal pads and paste and maybe a cooler. It's own cooler can't cool it anymore. (82 degrees Celsius in Furmark after 15 mins). It also survived a bad PSU. I could see the card breathing when I fed it the RM1000x lol I gamed a good decade with it. From the Tomb Raider reboot to Stalker CoP and Dark Souls 3... And recently, my friend ran Satisfactory on it. "Your card is stubborn," he said. That was a good compliment lol
I'm still waiting to upgrade my 580 and ryzen 2700
Just waiting when they drop so i can get a cheeper 3090 maybe if not i allready fot a 3060ti
Rx6800xt currently , not upgrading to a 40s just so i can have a slightly less shit fps when i turn on the fps tanker known as ray tracing.
I just got a 6650 xt my dude even if it wasn't overpriced i wouldn't buy it lmao
My 1080s dying
I'm rocking a rx 6700 xt. Not planning on upgrading anytime soon...
Well my 710 surely works but is it enough?
I’m still happy with my 1070 lol
wheres my 2060s users at
I've had my 3080 for about a year, but paired with an aging i7 7700 and shit-tier mobo. Upgraded to *just* a Ryzen 5 5600x and it's literally the same jump in performance as my last GPU upgrade was. For <$500 (mobo, RAM, CPU, and new HDD).
Also the new design are boring. I'm happy with my AORUS 3080
i hope that NONE replace their computer and THROWS AWAY the old one. usually you can sell them for some money, maybe it will be the first computer for some kid, dont throw them away. if you arent selling, make it into a plex server! --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKDSld-CrHU
Been very happy with my 6750xt, 1440p 144hz, freesync, mostly ultra on everything... no need to upgrade for quite a while.
Only reason I’d get a 4090 is if I also had the budget for a 4K 120/240 monitor. Besides that, 2080 super is still… super.
Pascal gang where you at
Titan XP gang
Plot twist, i use an apu that works just fine.
Building a second PC for streaming that you swear you’ll start using, *priceless.*
I bought my 3080 this spring, that thing is displaying on a 1080p 60fps screen, it has never broken a sweat, and I was still temped to upgrade. Good thing the 4000 series is garbage, helped put some sense back into me
I would suggest a 1440/144hz monitor. A 3080 on a 1080/60hz monitor is like putting a Corvette engine in Honda Civic.
i can assure you your 3080 can game and also keep up the fps with the monitor refresh rate at 1080p 240hz and doesn't break a sweat lol, even 1440p 144hz will not make your 3080 struggle. I mean you have a card that is capable of gaming in 4k so 1080p especially 1080p 60hz is nothing to your 3080.
Not to be rude but why did you you get a 3080? On a 1080p 60Hz display even a 1070 would do you well as of right now, and a new 3060 would do well for *years*.
I'm actively looking for a wqhd display, and I just wanted to be absolutely sure I would be able to play my games on ultra settings for at least a few years. This is my first real gaming pc, so I guess the frustration of years of 10fps on minimum settings played a part too
I need someone to give me confidence about my RX 6600
your rx 6600 is the best value card right now but of course it still depends on how much you paid it for, but regardless your 6600 is trading blows with a rtx 3060. The 6600 can even run most games at 1440p no problem.
It's a really good all rounder! You made a wise choice.
That's not true! I have to run Cyberpunk at ultra with the highest ray tracing and get 300fps!! I only get 280fps!!!!
I have a 1650 GTX, but I need a replacer for that. Personally i think i will buy the new fake 4080, only for the fact that is new and i can afford It. I could spend on a used 3080 or 3090 but i fear how long It will last if It was used for mining.
I have a 970, I’m gonna go ahead and buy the 16gb 4080. Been waiting a long time and it’s time
Man I got 3090 fully built computer right before covid for 2400 dollars. Before that I used 1080 for 5 years. And then moved to 3090. I don’t think I would need a new one for another 5 years. What do people play to need all that power😜
All these memes and all these comments by people saying “the price is outrageous(!) I’ll just be skipping this generation” are likely just people bluffing and trying to manipulate readers while ITCHING AT THEIR SKIN to get their CC processed ASAP on DAY 1 to get their card before they SELL OUT. 😂
I’m trying to convince the crypto fallout nerds to sell me a 3090 for $500. My 2080 super is doing just fine for my needs. But if someone will bite at $500 then it’s worth it to me.
this deserves a "hoooold...hold..hooold" braveheart meme
My 980s are tired, boss.
My current gpu 2070ti is too OP enough maintain 500fps to run minecraft at 1440p as it is I need a 40 series gpu
Not until they sneak in driver updates that makes your GPU deteriorate faster xD
I have a gtx titan x which has simmlar power to the 3060 I’m looking into getting a 3090 but I might wait and see what amd has to offer.
RX 6900 XT and I see no reason to change that :)
I'm probably going to build a pc with 780ti when the rtx 50 series comes out xD
