I wasnt going to get one anyway, but now I really won't buy one lol.
My current PC which at the time was a pretty much top of the line PC cost less than just that GPU. Ridiculous.
Yeah, you can build a 1440p native/4k upscale build for like $1000 if not less. I don’t understand what the demand for these cards is. What games benefit?
But that extra 3FPS bro.
My guess is that demand for high-end GPUs is more for AI stuff, which can always benefit from more horsepower.
Yup, my last build was 2020 when 2000 series was still the top. 2070s is what I went with. Complete with 64 GB of RAM, 3800X, and other stuff (even a 500$ monitor) and I was only in around $2000 lol.
Eyyy, i just upgraded from a 3800x! 9800x3d is a solid improvement. Still using my 2080 TI tho (used display model from microcenter, for $800, in 2020)
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't see any improvement upgrading my proc. Graphics card would need to be next im sure.
Shit mine was 1/3 of that haha
