Xiahou Shake 09/01/20 2:37:51 PM #8:	I will say that the price for power on the 3070 is legitimately bananas. If you're comfortable with that price point, it's worth it. As two caveats: it's hard to say exactly how much the 2070s will drop AND it's also hard to say whether getting any of these new cards is even going to be possible for a little while since these things typically sell out ludicrously fast. --- Let the voice of love take you higher, With this gathering power, go beyond even time! <cite>Xiahou Shake posted [p:944083015] in Building a...
