We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
definitely a possibility lol.
Really makes you wonder what they could be doing in their home office with a gaming card, huh?
The recommended is 700W but that's recommended if you pair with a 10900K. That is a lot more power hungry than most. I think my 650W will be enough cause I'm using a Ryzen 5 3600
Would you say it's significant enough for someone who currently has a 2nd gen to upgrade to 3rd?
And why'd you give the suggestion on updating the mobo? I thought they were fairly timeless.
Pog
if your talking in pure gaming only terms no, but its so close it doesnt matter, and ryzen crushes intel at everything else.
Yes. In terms of value and performance. Intel CPUs are hot and have less cores than Ryzen.
PlayStation killing b/c after the fat PS3 pushed me to it
My older games run perfect on Steam and I don't need to wait to repurchase remakes to enjoy high resolutions and/or refresh rates.
nah, get a ps5 and be happy. Once you get into pc gaming you will be stuck in an endless loop of upgrades. Just read through the thread, we're like addicts looking for our next hit of GPU nirvana.
So this is going to be an unusual launch, since it doesn't seem like there will be pre-orders available? What do veterans expect to be the best approach to buying a card come launch? Just refreshing searches on online retailers like Amazon/Newegg?
I'd have a pretty crazy budget for a new build! I have my eyes on the Odyssey G9 too. I'll wait to see UK prices and some example builds, because I'd pretty much be starting from scratch. My current card is an HD 6990, so yeah.
It's funny, literally the only thing that's been stopping me is that I'm already so invested in Xbox Series X, and that'll feel a bit like a waste if I can play all the same games with this much power on my PC.
Because it's the Titan replacement. Think of it as a Titan and the positioning makes more sense.
Not so bad. I paid iirc around $900 for my 980ti 5 years ago.
Hopefully a future 3080ti would be around $1300.
Obviously all that power is needed on tax deduction spreadsheets ;)

Also just noticed the number of inputs....damn
2 x HDMI 2.1
3 x DP 1.4a
5?!? Makes my TV seem old

You wouldn't need DLSS. Just set your GPU to render at 1440p if you want to use 120Hz on your TV. Or you can use supersampling in N
Nvidia Control Panel and set the render resolution to 2160p and have it output at 1440p to the TV to keep the 120Hz refresh rate.
That's a good point too, and I'm bad at selling off old stuff I don't use, so I'd end up with piles of GPUs around the house.
If the Series X is really 2080 ti performance, I wonder how it'll stack up against the 3070. Assuming it's $500, that's a match up between $500 for the entire unit vs just a GPU.
Titan replacement and likely and easy bracket to slide a 3080ti into if needed.
the match is worse b/c you can do other things than game with a pc, but I think it hard caps both ps5/xb1 at 499.
I always ask weird questions because I put myself it weird scenarios. So for those who like to tackle weird scenarios...
I have a GTX 1070 Laptop (I haven't used since turning it on last year to test Forza Horizon 4 demo, ran great!)
And I have a GTX 1080 Laptop (Alienware R4), that again I don't use that much.
The GTX 1070 Laptop has a Thunderbolt 3 port (4lanes) but a i7-7700HQ processor. And it's pretty light....not as heavy as you would expect.
The GTX 1080 Laptop has a i7-7820HK same TB3 port as well, but also Alienware's own custom port to add an eGPU.
So you probably have an idea what I'm about to ask... would it be worth it to get one of these RTX 3070/80 Cards, to be used as an eGPU for one of these Laptops?
Would it be better through TB3 or Alienware's own custom port/housing? I know you lose some of the power of the GPU.
With those old processors, would it even be worth it to get a RTX card? Or should I sell the laptops.
I don't plan on building a huge fancy PC that lights up, down the road... if I were going to build a PC, it would be a mini-tower.

I upgrade with generations (I updated my 770 4GB to a 1070 because I bought a new Gsync monitor at 1440p).
I'll keep the 3080 until next gen most likely unless.
I don't. Too expensive and the annual performance gains don't justify the cost. I'm going to be upgrading from a GTX 970.
This has been my upgrade path: 650 > 970 > 3080/3090.
I got the 2.7 Strix 2080ti in my H1. It's snug as heck, but it fits and doesn't cook in there. You might have more options than you realize.
Series X is definitely not 2080 Ti performance
Could be around 2080
Yeah, IIRC, it's about equal to the 2070S in terms of rasterisation performance, judging from the Gears 5 demo at the Xbox event earlier in the year.
If you're wanting the best performance in ray tracing that's where it's at. Even with the 3080 a lot of us want more. The 3080 is such a great value it's almost talking me out of the 3090 no lie. But the 3090 is what I want because I want max frames with RT at high resolutions. Also big vram means you can do cool stuff with texture mods and other stuff. But the real reason is RT
9800gt>570>780ti>980ti>1080ti>2080ti———^/3080\^.
So yeah but it was because mainly I got into SFF builds when I got my first big 1080p TV and the 780ti and then the vive...then an lg OLED 4K tv several years ago and have been chasing that and VR since then.
Yeah but you would be missing out on all of the Ray Tracing, DLSS, SSD shenanigans. You could use 3070 1080p60 for the rest of your life. Then if you ever upgrade your display, you'd still be set for a long ass time.
I was heavy last gen initially till pascal cause I didn't need more performance.
Someone could get any of the amperes announced and last all gem if they sacrifice settings. Dlss will be quite the boost in titles allowed.
I only upgrade when I need performance.
last gen this was me
4850 -> 7950/7970 -> 970/1060 -> 2070 (returned)
Regular/annual upgrades like that are good if you're selling the old card to fund the new card. You maintain a lot of resale value that way. In fact that's probably the best way to go about things, honestly.
I'm lazy and kind of afraid of selling expensive stuff, especially online. I just buy cards and use them for several years until I upgrade.
HD4850 -> GTX 760 -> RX480 -> thinking about a 3060 but TBD depending on how it turns out.
Any AIB with a true 2 slot design for the 3080 so far? Seems like FE is the only option so far, which seems good, but I want to know my options.
Is it sad that I'm actually "happy" about the pricing.
