I think my gpu is dying.
Whats the best card for current graphics at 1080p? I'm looking at the 2070

That 3060ti coming out soon for 450.

The 2070 is selling for like 550 in some places.

If you can hold the line till January you can try to pick that up but be warned about the bot/scalper situation.

I caved in bought a 3090 from FB marketplace. 3080’s are going for 400-600 over where has the 3090 is fairly close to original price. I want to play cyberpunk with ray tracing with 100 FPS + and the 6900xt will not support ray tracing for cyberpunk during launch.

LG ultrawide monitor I've been looking at just went down from $850 to $800 :yeshrug: but I still can't find a prebuilt with a 5900x and a 3080 :francis:

I'm sure if I keep waiting new monitors will be around the corner too :unimpressed:

I'm really considering pulling the trigger on the 3090 to upgrade into an all in one content creation / gaming machine. Might consider selling this 5800x and shooting for at least a 5900x if thats the case. I guess I'm really just waiting on nvidia to officially confirm the 3080ti release date

I’m kinda annoyed at the dishonesty from reviewers when it comes to the 6800 and 6900xt. How is the 6700xt a better buy than the 3080 when it only performs better at like 1080p where it’s stupid anyway cause no one is copping these cards to play at 1080p. Add in the fact that the shyt performs worse than a 2080ti with Raytracing and these comparisons ain’t even taking DLSS into effect. In which when enabled is blowing them AMD cards out of the water. I’m convinced these nikkas just like new shyt or somethin. I mean the main reason to cop a new high end GPU these days would be for high resolutions, Ray Tracing and performance.
