Tempted to go for a Red Devil 6800xt @ $669, but have feeling remorse will set in when new cards may be out by end of year (4080 or 7800).
Tempted to go for a Red Devil 6800xt @ $669, but have feeling remorse will set in when new cards may be out by end of year (4080 or 7800).Plenty, though they keep getting delayed. That being said a 6800xt is probably a perfectly fine card for a 1440p monitor for the next 6+ years, so other than not being able to max out Crysis 4 or whatever I'm otherwise not seeing any major downsides there.
The N6 wafers are being taken by the Zen4 IOD. That's way more important to AMD than a tiny ~80mm2 chiplet on N5. N33 on N6 means way less IOD for a lot of the upcoming Zen4 products.N33 first makes sense assuming it's on N6. The N5 wafers are being taken by Zen 4.
I bash on LTT's videos some times, but I feel this is a good one:
Summary: with current titles, it is difficult to tell
Very much puts raytracing in perspective.

Bet you won't have buyers remorse when the MSRP for those cards is officially listed.Tempted to go for a Red Devil 6800xt @ $669, but have feeling remorse will set in when new cards may be out by end of year (4080 or 7800).
If the ETH merge occurs before year end and the flood happens, would love to see the look on his face when prices drop to half.Jay sounds like a PIMP for the video card industry. Sky is falling. High Pressure Used Car salesman. All rolled into one.

The merge combined with the 4000 approaching ever closer could easily result in the most insane GPU tsunami we will ever see. The rare conditions that all came together to make this possible could easily never happen again. I wouldn't be surprised to see 3080s hitting around $350 at some point. People with a garage full of them will want something for them rather than nothing. I know I would.

Heh, I got a free copy of Star Citizen with my R9 290 that I promptly forgot to claim.
I can't imagine anything will ever touch the $200 to $230 brand new with two year warranty R9 290 plus four games that we saw in November 2014. Even the Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 dropped to $230 new with four games. I remember wanting to buy a GTX 660 or R9 280 that summer but waited and waited and by the time I was ready to buy the 290 was cheaper than what I originally wanted to spend on the 280. R9 290 was like the RTX 3080 of the day, eg a smallish step down from flagship.

When you get a 5000 series card they might bundle it with the release version of Star Citizen.
Are you speculating Nvidia is going to change to a different naming scheme?When you get a 5000 series card they might bundle it with the release version of Star Citizen.
3080 12gb is a weird card. Close to 3090 performance but draws more power.I think it is interesting that the 3080 12GB and 10GB can be found fo the same price atm.
