The PC build thread

This is why we need competent competition. They never would have put out this kind of release if they weren't scared of what AMD might have up its sleeves. I'm currently waiting for the RDNA2 announcement.

 

Perfect timing, i'm eagerly awaiting Sapphire Rapids for my next build. Looks like it'll be an RTX3090 SLI box.

 

Some people are guessing that the "leap" is really just Nvidia showing their hand and they were sandbagging before.

 

Exactly, I thought the same . Well the 3070 at $499 is in my wheel house and its supposed to be faster than the 2080ti unless AMD pulls some magic . I remember when Voodoo was a contender , I was playing Half-life and Tribes , Need for speed Hot Pursuit on my Voodoo card and I thought It couldn't get any better haha

 

Wait until the reviews are out to verify nvidia numbers before a purchase. So far, yes it looks good, but they always have a habit of hyping up numbers that don't mean much of anything.

I have a 1080ti and I'm of course gonna wait until reviews are out, but even then, limited stock for the first 2-3 months are going to make me wait. But if the rumors are true, there is a LOT more variations coming out in the near future. So I'm gonna hope that they make a 3080 with 16 or 20GB Vram.

Plus the water cooled variants from Colorful look very nice, since I no longer want to do a custom loop.

 

I have a

l have always been a budget builder but Im not waiting to pull the trigger on this Gen of cards . Gonna scoop me up a 3080 or a 3070 along with a new PSU and maybe even a new monitor . Im actually pretty excited for these new cards lets hope the Benchmarks fall in line with what the experts are saying .
