    HODL…!

    So I tried AMD's FSR 2.0 on Deathloop with my RTX 3080 the other day. Looked fine to me but performance was actually worse than native, at least in the area I was in. I'd love to switch to AMD because I hate proprietary stuff that's kept to one card (G-Sync, DLSS) even though I think DLSS is amazing. But it's hard to swap when AMD's tech isn't really convincing me just yet.

      Totally agree, so happy with my 3070 ti…

  • At what point do I bite?

    • +10

      when ozbargain commenters tell you to :)

      ps: I've got no idea, I'm also in market for a new card and it's damn confusing

        Buy if you have the money to, then enjoy and hide all GPU posts from your home page so you dont get buyers remorse.

      Honestly with Lovelace meant to be only a few months away, unless you absolutely need a GPU now, you'd be nuts to grab something today.

      I wouldn't plan on a major price drop, but with what the rumours are looking like, it's going to be very interesting.

      • I was holding off building a new box because of GPU uncertainty but bit the bullet with recent Ryzen 5600 drops (happy with tried and tested AMD platform, didn't need the newest). Still rocking a 1050ti from an Optiplex SFF build (and amazed how much they're selling for now more than I paid for it years ago)), so waiting for GPU deal.

        As you suggest, I reckon the prices probably won't shift much but waiting for Lovelace at least I may be able to get more performance for same price, or at least go into current gen knowing what next gen/lovelace is capable of… I've waited this long… :)

        So you really believe when new generation of GPUs launch they will be in a healthy supply level with reasonable RRP? Won't have to pay $2000+ for a top end GPU?

        I'm thinking of getting a 12GB RTX 3080 since you can get some 12GB models at the same price of the 10GB model ($1399) and it is pretty comparable to the RTX 3080ti. Be interesting to see if the RTX 4080 really can come in at $1200-$1400 (at launch you could get RTX 3080 for ~$1280) and be much better than the 3080 and can guarantee that I can get one within 1-3 months of launch by just walking into a shop like you can with the 3080 right now.

          I'm expecting we may see a small increase in $ per flop/fps.

          I'm definitely expecting the 4080 to be more expensive, but a lot more powerful. Eg 50% more performance for say 30% more cost.

          What supply will be like? No clue. I don't expect 3xxx supply will suddenly dry up in the next 2-3mo however.

          If you are onto it you can get one at msrp at launch but…. They are limited and you have to be waiting on the button on the right site. I scored a 6800XT for $1069 last drop

        • Yes there will be supply of cards with many ex mining saturating the market. Also there likely won't be miner trying to buy up cards.

      • as if we're gonna be able to buy them at launch for msrp lol

    • now.. Buy it and enjoy it.

  • +11

    Price continues to fall by more $ per week than miners can make from each card. How long until we get large volumes of cards dumped on ebay?

    That's when the real price falls will start.

    • +1

      Exactly, HODLing makes more sense till then if one alreeady has a manageble card. The idea is to reduce the demand so prices fall further for the good of all. People who spend this much money at this point will be extremely dissapointed in a couple of months after seeing next gen performance.

      • +1

        you're on every gpu post, just like me.

        • I am assuming most miners mined a lot and then held on to those coins and when the vallue collapsed, the ROI from the last 2 years of mining got screwed up? And they spent loads of money buying those GPUs?

          • -1

            @John Doh: did you know that almost every coins when up in value 10x to 30x from early last year till mid-late last year?

            did you know the mining profitability boom starts around March last year?

            the ROI already reached 3-4 months, around July-Aug last year. ETH peak in Sept. It was such a perfect timing, sweet spot of all.

            only few dumb miners didn't sell their coins at the peak. as much as dumb hodlers who didn't buy GPU during afterpay sales or before price went up early last year.

            • @[Deactivated]: Actually many wanted to buy last year, there were no stocks. Blame the miners and the scalpers and thier bots. Nobody missing the afterpay sales tho, except who saw it late.

              • -1

                @John Doh: Scalpers and their bots did more damage than miners, most pro miners bought them wholesale off retail.

                • +1

                  @[Deactivated]: Ya thats true! But its the miners who increased the demand and created a new cagegory called scalpers who were not as active until 2 years ago.

                  • +1

                    @John Doh: Ultimately this shortage is just one part of a larger situation where the production volume doesn't meet demand. If the fabs pumped out twice or thrice the silicon there would be no scalpers, even in crypto booms. We've been hearing about chip shortages on and off for years. Remember the big DDR4 crisis in 2017-2019 where it was $300 for 16gb, twice what it cost in 2016? For years theyve talked about needing to ramp up production in general across many different nodes and companies, to meet the growing demand from smartphone usage globally, or increase automobile use, etc etc. Yet, here we are, still relying on a few companies like TSMC who arent in any hurry to rush out new fabs. Maybe that's unfair and they really are ramping up as fast as possible, but I have my doubts given if anything it benefits them, and the barrier to entry is high enough that they arent going to suddenly be overtaken in the market.

  • This or 3080?

    • +6

      Neither for now. The price will drop more a month later.

  • +2

    HODL, eth is going below $1.8K, when it goes into 1K, all cards price will cut half at least.

    • +1

      That's a pretty big claim, would be nice to see a price drop in GPU's again

      • +1

        2 years ago/2020, RX580 8GB was $180 AUD everywhere, that was just a few month after RX5000 series launch. That time 5700/5700XT was $400-$600

    • It all depends where BTC goes. At the moment it's still floating around 28 to 30k USD. It also depends how good the next generation cards are in terms of mining and ROI. Additionally I am assuming they are getting some kind of rebate from Asus to clear out inventory because prices from other OEM's aren't dropping as much.

      • they won't be a ROI in a prolonged bear market, not retail anyway

        people only start talking about mining during bull markets because you actually have an ROI

    • Well they will sell around RRP at that point. Not sure if that equals "cut in half" unless they were inflated terribly.

  • Why are the 6900XT deals all ASUS TUF?

    • +17

      Asus is having a TUF time emptying their warehouse :)

      • +1

        Most likely getting a rebate from Asus to move stock.

      • ASUS showing us some TUF love.

  • Would this require water cooling for playing games at 2k/4k?

    • +4

      No but would require well ventilated case

    • +5

      It's air cooled by the 3 fans on it so it definitely doesn't require water cooling.

  • +1

    $1265 now I think they are having a price war with PC Byte who had it for $1269 😅
