Shoutout to my sponsor, the 2080ti

 

[Everything Zen]

i remember folks giving me a hard time for dropping almost a rack on the 2080ti at launch. def not going to try to make a case for it being a good buy in 2018 but im for sure getting all my money's worth out of it in hindsight

I know gfx cards are egregious now but why dont folks just get pre mades? I was thinking of finally getting a desktop since my laptop has. 2070 and it shows with newer shyt. Saw a lot of pre builts on amazon with 3xxx for 1500-2000. Whats the issue with these?

pre mades usually cut corners wherever they can with parts. some are decent though

3090's going for 3 racks might as well wait for the 4 series

I love my 6900xt. But if they're going to charge those prices, might as well try for a rtx 3080, ti or 3090.

This. The AMD cards aren't bad at all but if they selling them at damn near the same price there's no reason to not "try" to go for a Nvidia card. Amd need to cut the prices by a solid 200 or so.
