In 5 years were going to look back on this time and say "remember when Nvidia convinced people to pay 200-300 dollars more per card so they could have ray tracing in fucking Minecraft? And Radeon said here's a 300 dollar card that's as poweful as an Nvidia 500 dollar card and people said no thanks? Dummies!"

I remember AMD releasing the 5700 series with drivers so screwed up that it literally resulted in half the cards being permanently gimped

Why in the actual fuck would you buy a 1000 series card next year

The fucking 3060 for probably $400 would likely outperform even the highest end
budget and i don't need uber!!! power for my gaming needs to begin with i don't jump on the newest gen on the first day fam

they maybe old but to me the drivers have matured enough to be stable and plus as i said i don't need my cards to be the latest gpu on the market my gaming is mostly emu playing ether ps2 or GC and mostly 16 bit era games plus indie
and besides if i don't find it on the market i can buy the 20 series next year (maybe not if 2021 is worse then this year) right now i don't have the leeway to use my money on hobbys due to covid and the current state of the job market

I bought a 5700XT for my new build last week (the Sapphire Pulse linked earlier in this topic) and it's great so far. AMD's drivers have been massively improved in the year since the cards launched.

I was originally gonna get a 2060 Super or 2070 Super, but all Nvidia's RTX cards seemed to sell out last week when news of the 3000 series coming soon broke. Ray tracing doesn't seem worth it atm anyway. In a couple years maybe I'll upgrade to Nvidia's newest card.

Yeah I wish AMD was actually competitive here like they are with processors now. But even then I personally wouldn't go with them because of the CUDA support that Nvidia cards have

Whatever is the best card that is on the market on Black Friday / Christmas 2022 is what I'll buy. Hopefully it's the 400 series by then, but my 2070 Super is only 3 months old and since it handles VR fine I have zero incentive to upgrade

This generation, AMD will be releasing a "Halo" card to compete at the top end.

If that's the case and the 3090 is this gen's Titan RTX card then it'll be 1k cheaper than the current Titan RTX. So unless the 3080ti is like $1000 msrp it wouldnt make sense to spend $1200 on that instead of the $1400 3090 Ti. Once you're over the $1200 mark for GPU I feel like you have the disposable income to shell out the extra $200 "flex money".

I guess we'll see on Sept 1. I'll probably settle with a 3070 or 3080 non-ti depending on pricing.

I still wouldn't go THAT far. I keep a PC and a Playstation for sony and timed rockstar exclusives but I'd never AAA game on console-only.
Meh, I'll see how it plays out. I made the jump to 1440p when I got my 1070 and while its been a great card, I wasn't too thrilled with having to already start dialing settings back just a couple years later. Figured this time around I'd get a 3080, but I'm also going to need a new build as my cpu was already heavily bottlenecked in AC Odyssey and I fully plan on playing Valhalla.

But thats all assuming the prices aren't as ridiculous as they were with the 10xx and 20xx lines. The RTX cards sold really poorly too so I'd be surprised if they don't lower prices even a bit, but nvidia is gonna nvidia, I'm sure.

I don't think that'll be happening.

They have an entire audience that wants Titans.

They'll sell them eventually, maybe not right away, but give Nvidia time.

They love their FAT profit margins.

Eh, what about time with your wife?

If your working 80 hrs a week, how much quality time do you have to spend with her on top of gaming?

You're only going to be young for so long, don't you want to spend more time and enjoy it with her?

As nice as "Material Goods & Items" are, you have more than enough, and your not exactly a wasteful spender.

Would reducing your work hrs to 40 hrs / week and spend the rest of your time having fun / with your wife be more beneficial to your mental health?

I'm sure she would want to spend more time with you to, isn't that the purpose of your marriage together?

Don't you both want children?

If my income is enough that I can keep above $100k in my checking account, and I have no debt, whatever I buy after that point is reasonable. It's kind of a silly rule but I think it's fair.

That seems easily doable without 80 hrs a week of work.

What's your resolution? The 3060 is rumored to be $300-$400 depending on 6GB or 8GB version which would be a decent upgrade depending. Of course I personally wouldn't buy a 6GB GPU in 2020.

I had my GTX 960 OC for 4 years before I upgraded to my current video card - an RTX 2060. I completely skipped over the 10 series, because it was prohibitively expensive. Garbage ass bitminers. Here's hoping the 3000 series is better.

they do have some benefits and more so in upscaling images if you like to do your own HD texture for old gen games via emu currently there is a work in progress of a program that will grab the native texture and auto upscale it as you play for psp games my card chokes on the process but meh it still new and next year hopefully AMD brings out a decent card i am going team red i am not paying that much for a gpu
