Bruh I went into the one in Marietta and damn near lost my mind. More places like that should exist.
That doesnt really go against what I said.
You don't get NVIDIA GPUs in consoles because they shark em on prices
See the original Xbox and the PS3.
What I mean is, since AMD cannot compete with Nvidia on the top end of graphics performance, Nvidia knows that they can push the prices and people will pay because who else is going to give you that performance? Not AMD. Not yet, at least. I'm still waiting...but I might check out a 3070 to replace my 1070. Should be a nice upgrade there of over 100 percent...
It's nice having a local big-box retailer tho. The few specialized computer shop I've been in mark up probably even more
not to mention all the deals I see that I can't take advantage of
So happy I didn't pull the trigger on a GPU last month...

I’m Sooo tempted to cop that 3090. Why must I have bleeding edge??? Lol.
so this nerd shyt came across my youtube feed 
8K games 
...i'm not a gamer of PC person like that, but god damn.

If you got a 2080 ti you can game up to 4k at 60 fps...so not sure why you would be interest in a 300 series card...
Now if you excuse me I got to plan my build next year for when I upgrade from a 2080 TI to a 3090
And yall wonder why we dont get Nvidia GPUs in mainstream consoles...its because AMD cant compete, so Nvidia prices into the stratosphere.
this is the cheapest line of NVIDA cards ever, the 3090 is the replacement for the titan and its 1000 cheaper
the 3070 is better than the 2080ti which is a 1200 card and it will only be 500
Nvidia really has great marketers and market research/analytics.
They really nailed the price on these cards and looking at the performance graphs, there looks to be a great uplift gen over gen* (not as big as Pascal to Turing when including raytracing and definitely much less when including tensor cores DLSS) but they came correct with the pricing.
A $499 2080Ti equivalent card is unreal. ~2X 2080 performance at 2080 Super price is great too. But they are kind if blinding us (the tech people) with these types of comparisons.
These cards use a lot of power.
Look at the amount of shader cores they had to put on the card for these performance increases, look at their stated compute difference in TFs and ML for lower real world performance. The ampere design doesn’t seem...efficient and it isn’t bringing anything new to the table.
Oh, and the reference cards are large.
But, because its cheap, Nvidia knows that people will eat it up.
Personally, Im most impressed when I see actual architecture improvements vs sheer brute force/brute power usage.
*Why is Nvidia marketing this card as the biggest leap ever when Pascal running an RTX game vs an equivalent Turing card running an RTX game can see over 100% improvement. Technically isn't that the biggest leap?

Hmm, still debating on whether to get rid of the super for the 3080. I will wait for the benchmarks but i will be only gaming on 2k for awhile so not sure how much of a boost i would get.

When I really think about it, I'd have to invest at least $800 in a worthy monitor to even see the difference that upgrading my current gpu (2080) would make 
If anything, the money would probably be better spent on buying a 10 bit wide color gamut 2560x1440 monitor with good color accuracy, I would get more out of my 2080 and still be able to run all the games in 2.5k with zero issues. Frankly all the 4k video editing shyt I do runs flawlessly on my current rig so copping a 3080 would simply be gaming & framerate related... do y'all think Cyberpunk 2077 would run 60fps max settings in 2.5k on this rig?
