Watch Dogs: Legion PC Specs Revealed

I know they just put 11 GB because that's what the current high-end gaming card (2080ti) has, but it's not a good look to be recommending 11 today when the 3080 is releasing benchmarks off 10 GB it does have me thinking about holding off for next wk again

 

[kdslittlebro]

I'm struggling more than I thought to not wait until next wk

Edit: I think I'm waiting it's a nice jump but I gotta see the 3090 jump before I make a decision, even if I gotta wait on stock

Yea fukk it I’m copping tomorrow. These benchmarks are pretty damn good!

 

[Malik1time]

im torn between the 3080 or 3070

 

[Afrodroid]

3080 here we go

 

[kdslittlebro]

Damn it's a PSU shortage? All the best ones seem like they're OOS or double-priced

3070. looks like the 3080 aint whats its cracked up to be.

Nvidia can’t help themselves but mislead. 2x performance but what we mean is in some applications.


Like I said before I appreciate the consistency. I still recommend the 3080 over the 3070.

shyt really? I didn't even think that psu prices would inflate due to this.

I just got mine off Newegg for decent price; I think it's just Amazon, salty I couldn't use my Prime card tho.

I did see articles from earlier this yr advising folks that prices are rising and don't look to be dropping soon. Looking like the memory and SSD shortage all over again
