Be on the lookout for secret Amazon links. They had the 9800X3D up three hours before it was supposed to be. I bought that shyt at 6:25am and went back to sleep. I hope the same thing happens with the 5090.

Yeah I did the same. I was actually at work when the 9800X3D went live on Amazon. Snagged two of them real quick. Ended up selling the extra one.

I went from the 5800X3D with Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE to the 9800X3D with iCUE Link Titan.

SO basically I should scrap the pc I was building and build it around the 5070 or 5080? That's what it seems like.

That’s up to you. Depends on how much you want to spend and how many hoops you want to jump through. The 5080 will not be an easy card to acquire unless you’re willing to drive to a Micro Center or sit in front of your laptop or on your phone all day of launch constantly refreshing store pages to click add to cart.

Meanwhile, you’re probably looking at ~10% raster uplift from the 4080 Super to the 5080. Do you care about DLSS? Most people don’t, I really don’t. I bought a 4080 Super back in November on marketplace for $600 just to flip. I’m guessing soon there will be plenty of those flooding the market for cheap. It’s all up to you which route you want to go.

Even looking at grabbing a low cost gaming laptop, looking at a Lenovo LOQ, can anyone recommend it?

 

[Mister_DoItNice]

Depends on what you want to play I guess. Most gaming laptops are pretty underwhelming. Far too many compromises have to be made for those things. Don’t expect any real longevity either.

Just copped me an ASUS AP201 case. Been eyeing this for a while

Today I decided to port my build to the new AP201 case. It was quite a pleasant experience . Even had space to put two 1TB 3.5" HDD drives

Don't mind the cable management, its a work in progress . Besides, its a mesh case so no one can see that mess

Brehs looking to upgrade their GPU, what are y'all upgrading to?

I have a 3060ti and I "want" to upgrade to a 50 series, if the price is right...otherwise, I'm looking closely at the market/pricing of the 40 series once the new cards drop.

5090.
