4 core CPU's going away, 6/8 core being the new low end, 12/16 core being the new normal, 32core being the new high end,
USB 4.0, next gen SSDs, PCI 5.0, DDR5 Ram and GDDR7 GPU's all coming by early 2022

Biggest jump we've had in the pc space in like 15 years.....Zen 3/Rocket Lake are "end of the road" platforms everything is moving on

I was gonna build a rig but not waiting seems stupid can I ride out w/ Comet Lake until then

Oh damn, I didn't know about all this. I was thinking about going Zen 3, but honestly I don't need to.

How high are you willing to go?


If I don't get one by a week before Cyberpunk, I'm going to be upset.

Digging the temps on the 3090 so far. FE at around 35c or so watching youtube vids on 1440p.

Also lol when I first bought the 980ti I ended up breaking that last part of the PCI x 16 slot during the install.

Sure enough 7 years later I end up doing the same to this motherboard and this card.

Random thought: My dumbass got this whole unlocked cpu (8700k) and never even overclocked it.

Man playing at 1080p seems so jankly. Tried a couple games and it was sputtering like a muthafukka.

1,200 honestly..I dont want to go above that. I will try to get a 3070 so hopefully I dont have to overpay for 3080. I really want the Founders Edition

3080s went in stock on Best Buy website yesterday, I was there immediately and it still sold out before I could buy one

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

1200 seems to be the agreed upon upsell for these cards right now. Yea they going for 14-1500 on ebay but remember ebay takes 13% of that so not all of that is going to the seller.

The 2 i sold already i sold on facebook marketplace locally and i sold both of them for 1200. One was a Gigabyte and one was a Zotac

If u really cant wait but still dont want to pay ebay prices check out the "hardware swap" reddit. Alot of people are selling their 3080s for around 1200 there/


But yea i wouldn't do anything until we see how the 3070/big navi launches are looking. Honestly if the 3070 are indeed in stock i'll cop a 3070 for myself and rock out until the 4000 series hits next year.

I just need something before Cyberpunk.

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

Also to the brehs buying off best buy. A 3080 kept failing in the cart when signed in as a guest. When i logged into my BB account the 3090 went through. Might have just been luck

you still shouldn't be having any problems with 1080p but its probably bottlenecking the 3090
