I was hodl-ing in early 2020 and winning and then losing
How is this compared to 6800xt for $799?
In terms of dollars per fps, that was a much better deal, in that the 6800XT has ~90% of the performance of this card, but was on sale for $300 less. However, this is a good deal for those people only interested in Nvidia.
Why does no one talk about DLSS and RT performance when comparing the two they're pretty big things.
@Mooncakes: Very few people use RT because the performance cost is so great, and there's really only a couple of games like Control and certain Cyberpunk places that you can notice it's even turned on.
FSR 2.0 has really closed the gap between DLSS, and it's more widely supported due to being easier to implement. Even for games that don't officially support FSR 2.0, there's often PC mods to enable it. DLSS does work better at lower resolutions.
The main advantages Nvidia cards have are bandwidth (for crypto mining), their encoder, and faster for certain professional workloads.
For me I swapped my 307ti with this because I found with 4K gaming, it runs out of vram very often..
hodl since 1080ti release screw nvidia
$499 by the end of this year.
300 by the end of next year. give it 10 years, someone might pay $10 for it to be picked up as junk? ha
He’s talking about the massive GPU over supply. If people wait these card will be sold for a loss just to get rid of them. Otherwise there’ll be no room at the warehouses for the next series from Nvidia.
Capitalism doesnt work like that, companies would rather get rid of them than giving them away
@PCMasterPig: How is taking a 100% loss plus the cost of disposal more economical than taking a smaller loss on these items?
@bobalot: Allowing prices to drop too low affects the pricing of products in the future.
It's capitalism's way of countering the "HODL" mentality.
It's why brand new, unsold cars are left to rust on vacant lots - who would buy a new car for $40,000 when they can "HODL" and get it for $10,000?
That goes for just about every high-priced consumer product. Brand new OLED TVs still in their boxes, gaming consoles, PCs, etc. Straight into the shredder.
@Heero: Just goes to show how naive many laypeople are about companies and their products. It's exactly the same M.O. for many industries unfortunately, not just high priced consumer products. The same tactic is the standard in the footwear and garment industry. Nike, Adidas, etc all destroy tonnes of product. Supermarkets are also guilty of this however their situation while slightly different is done for the same reasons. Avoiding devaluation of the product. A complete write-off is better than a repositioning of the product into a cheaper bracket.
@Heero: Thanks for the reply.
Pretty depressing how wasteful that is.
Any what the is consensus for the price of graphics cards like this by Christmas?
@bobalot: Same reason why some luxury designer brands destroy unsold goods rather than selling them at a discount
@bobalot: because providing a 2 year warranty doesn't cost nothing. It's an additional loss on a loss.
@PCMasterPig: It does for things like Nike shoes or Apple phones, because the profit margins are so high. With GPUs the margins are a lot smaller, thus they have to clear all stock at whatever price they can get.
Also forgot to mention we’re in a bullwhip with supply and demand in many industries. Nvidia was locked into a massive order from TSMC and they cannot cancel it. So there’s gonna be lots of 40XX series as well with much less demand due to the current economic situation. So no need to feel like you’re missing out when these “deals” come about. What’s coming might send many businesses bankrupt
@Valowick: Not to mention new 40xx cards night not be that much better then 30xx,
I would safely say a 3080 will be fine for 1440 P gaming for the next 5 years , max at 144 hz
Wouldn’t the Nvidia / Suppliers just build another warehouse out of the mountain of gold that they made from everyone :P
$10 by 2030…
Too many GPUs on sale, price will keep falling
Does anyone really need a 40+ card, I guess 3080 would be enough powerful for most games
bro wish me luck I'm trying to convice my dad to allow me to purchase good offers
Good luck. This 3080 will help with youtube and netflix.
And studying.
@OnlineShopper123: That’s like when I used to tell my wife I needed a faster motorcycle to ‘get out of right spots’… you know, for safety. :D
You’re bound to pick up when you mention that you own a 3080.
Only people that spend $1000 on gpu are people with jobs. $1000 is first car money!
All a $1000 gpu does is provide higher settings in video games. And it'll be meh in 3 years. A 3060/6600xt would be a luxury gpu for a kid (I had fx 5200).
Lol what a stupid comment, more so on a site that drives commercialisation.
And have you seen the prices of cars recently?
My pron faster with better gpu
+fuel
+insurance
+on road fees
+license
+maintenance
+parking
++++
Also no guarantee the $1000 car will be meh in 3 years as well.
Not sure your comparison is sound.
If you need a car get a car
if you need a better gfx card, get a better gfx card.
Idk about that one, I bought a 1080 ti like 5 years ago and it's still way above "Meh" in regards to performance.. still pumps out 200+ fps in most games with settings cranked up.
I didn't even have a GPU as a kid ur so spoilt Jimmy.
You really don't need a high end card like this for anything but high end enthusiast reasons. I'm a programmer who uses Nvidia cards for work and even I wouldn't buy one of these ultra high end cards unless I got into a really good financial situation where money just doesn't matter. The small bit of extra performance they give isn't worth the massive increase in cost versus some much better value for money amd cards going for less than half of this, or otherwise a heavily discounted 3070 at most.
Where have you been last 3 years? Kids buying new shiny toys with free money, ppl we're paying 2.5k for this not long ago …
And then we wonder about inflation
Are you a programmer using high end graphing feature?
If what you do is just average graphic things or some perallel processing tjat is not performance sensitive, of course you don't need one of those..
@Tleaves: Yeah I use it for occasional machine learning in my workflow, plus whatever benefit it provides in rendering and art software though I'm fairly sure that's mostly CPU bound, and am a gamer.
My finances aren't fantastic and unless they are there's no reason to aim for a card like this, a kid really shouldn't be thinking they need to start here and convince a parent. Some of the sub 400 amd deals would be more than enough for most any gaming.
Nah, playing some games in 4k 120fps would benefit from faster cards than the 3080.
bro wish me luck I'm trying to convice my dad to allow me to purchase good offers
Ok wishing you luck "bro" weird you need permission..
If you are a minor and live in your parents house you need permission before spending large amounts of money
@itchy scratchy: Very weird family…if my "minor" asked for $1100 I would laugh and tell them to get a part time job like I did myself In grade 11 or if they have their own money well do as you please… Kids these days little 💩
@Al Mawsil: And kids these days are wrapped in cotton wool oh I hope my dad's allow me to spend my own money on what I want, wish me luck bro 💩 this next generation of losers worries me
@solidussnake: lmao your trying to argue with a kid on obargain get a life and touch grass, please don't get married not that any woman would want you and please don't try to become a parent
@solidussnake: I don't give girls flowers, I'll give you good wood though
If you want me all for yourself, then, darling
You probably should go, there's no way I will stand in the rain
I can still make you say my name, say my name, say my nam
The "good" offers won't be here until at least the Lovelace announcement, and likely immediately before or after the actual launch.
Bruh, just bought a 3070ti evga for this price last week…..
Must hurt like hell.. But even some weeks ago there was a 3080 just under 1070 aud. The 3070 hasn't been seen over a grand on ozbargain for a while now.. Wonder how you missed so many deals
some nutjob also bought 3080 10gb non-LHR cards for $2000 in Feb.
These same people would pay $200 for an avocado if push came to shove
Sold my 3060ti non lhr for $1450 to some teenager and I'm thinking lucky kid I saved up for a 9500gt @ $150 at around his age 🤪
At least would have mined back a decent portion of that loss
no way, 3080 bought in Feb only made like $200-$300 profit max, depending when you sell the ETH and the power bills.
F to pay respect
Actually somewhat tempting since it's the 12gb version and the 4080 probably won't be out until next year. Hrrm
7700XT will definitely be better performing in rasterization than this card and will come out sooner. Thier 2nd gen RT and hardware FSR3 should hopefully be better.
I'm actually aiming for the 7900 xt if they price it right . The 6900xt was $1600 at launch and not much more powerful than the 6800xt ,which was I think about $1050. So if the 7900 xt is priced at $1600-$1800 and the performance is twice as fast as the 6900xt like it's been rumoured to be, then I'll be happy to pay that much. I don't see the point in paying over $1000 for the current gen cards since none of them can do 4k 60fps properly in every game ,especially not with ray tracing on but the new cards should have no trouble with 4k, so that will do me nicely for the next 4 years lol
With 4090 going for approx 1750$USD as per leaks, I think 7900XT would be atleast 2k AUD.
@John Doh: 2k is too much, the new AMD cards will be cheaper to make over the nvidia cards and also nvdia will be releasing first . AMD could make a big impact if they release it at an ultra competitive price. Time will tell though, 2k is a no go for me, I'd go with a cheaper 4080 if that happens . Maximum $1800 and even then that's a ridiculous price to pay lol
@John Doh: Me too ! Haha but my thinking is, AMD is now a huge threat. Nvidia know this, I don't think either company Is going to push the price too much. But since the 4090 is coming out first , AMD have the perfect opportunity to strike with a lower price and take the wind from underneath the 4090s wings lol . I don't think the 7900 xt will be able to compete head on,especially with ray tracing so pricing it appropriately would be the smarter option . But who knows, they could both prove me wrong and go crazy with their prices, but it doesn't make much sense imo with the current market how it is unless crypto has a massive surge before hand. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen. I can't see these cards being attractive to miners since the profitability is so low at the moment and with the increase in power these cards need…it would make mining even less profitable. So I don't think either company can get away with outrageous prices this time around
@S1nn3r86: Correct, but if you remember, 3090 is a Titan class card. So is the 4090. Titan class cards were never cheaper. 1750USD will concert to 2500++ AUD with tax and stuff. If so, I dont see the how the 7900XT could end up being cheaper than 2k atleast for the first year. These cards have very very big dies with lots of RAM to be cheaper. But lets hope for the best. I just need a 4080/7800XT and am all good.
The 6900XT is cheaper only because its end of life and they want to clear stock.
@John Doh: Yes but originally the 6900 xt was $1600 at launch. A $400 increase over last gen is a massive price increase and I don't think it will go over well lol especially while the 6900 xy is selling for half that price and probably cheaper once AMD announce the new cards . It would put me right off it and head towards a 4080 which will most likely be around $1500 and not too far off in performance. Definitely not worth the extra $500 for 10-15 percent better performance
@S1nn3r86: AMD settled the price at 1600 because they knew without proper RT and DLSS or CUDA they cant do better pricing. 7900XT will definitely become cheaper at the end of its life 1 to 1.5 years down the line, but I dont see that happening at launch time. It all depends on how good the 7900XT's features are. If they can improve RT and improve with FSR 3, there is no reason for them to list it at much lower price compared to 4090. Just look at thier CPU pricing. Aint cheaper when they were released. Even Intel undercut them - which I never thought would happen lol.
@John Doh: We'll have to wait and see I suppose . I'm hopeful for $1800 or less but if it's more than that I'll go a 4080 ..unless they're marked up too much in price from last gen as well
Nahhh. If it was under $1000 it would make more sense. Glad I came to my senses quickly 😌
Lord give me strength…for a man can only HODL on for so long
We believe in you brother. Now lets pray together.
This meme is on point.
regret not putting fortune favours the brave on there
$1000 for a gpu is hardly tempting (no matter how good it is). It provides higher settings in video games lol. $1000 is AU Falcon money
What's funny is a $300 GPU will still allow you to play/access all these games. You could maybe get the engine of an AU for that, but you won't have a car.
Awesome price. Yes!
HODL
Even for this brand that's a damn good price.
Still butthurt for buying a 3060 Ti for $999 last year November.
Remember the only people to blame for inflation are those that buy
Remember the only people to blame for whinging are those than whinge
or price gougers
Absolutely. But still miners grabbed most of them anyway. Not a lot of gamers bot GPUs.
Many kids on ozb asking their dads to buy them GPU, you can spot them from a mile away….
After the ETH merge on september 19th i suspect ALL gpu prices will drop by 50-70% within a month, there is the hashing power equivalent of 8 million RTX 3080's on the eth network which will all be getting sold off around then. Think i'm wrong? Save/bookmark this post and call me out on it at the end of september, i suspect you may be in for a surprise.
Logically it makes complete sense, but 50-70% drop seems excessive. There can always be unknown factors at play which can influence these sort of things.
Very possibly but it's hard to know for sure. While i admit there's a good chance a decent chuck of the eth hashrate is from dedicated asic miners the fact gpus are still profitable would imply to me the majority of the network is still gpus. With the only other two coins people claim they may move to being eth classic and ravencoin being worth far less, i imagine any big influx of miners with the current prices will make them immediately unprofitable, especially when they have no actual use and demand other than speculative trading.
Energy prices are going up, making the cost of mining even less profitable. Especially to new miners.
yeah and how many times has ETH merge been pushed back?
After the ETH merge on september 19th
How many times has ETH declared and missed a conversion to PoS date? I wouldn't hold you're breath personally.
The HODLers just keep on winning every week!
