I’ve been told there have been huge shipments of 3080 12gb models lately. I wonder if this overstock will start to cause prices to come down from the high end.

Still about $200 over msrp but at least it’s in stock. I wouldn’t expect an AIB card with a “better than stock” cooler to sell for msrp but in theory it shouldn’t be more than $100 over. The price scales fairly appropriately from what the 3070 and 3070ti is selling for right now.

Honestly if you enter for sport you’re just encouraging this madness 😂

Microcenter, Best Buy paywall drops, and Newegg hustle. So your options aren’t great.

My MSI 3060 also has two PCIE connections and never seems to draw enough power to warrant it. Even overclocked I don’t think power would be the limiting factor. Not sure why they did that. Most aib 3060s other than evga are going for around $520.

Won’t be buying them from me 😂 BF2042 was included in that bundle and I feel like they should be paying you to play that.

If you have a windows store account I think you have a chance of getting an invite to buy a bundle that cost ~$600. I got a second offer and they were available to ship right away but passed on it. I think once they send you a link you can always put an order in too but it may take longer to...

They are very capable of running both into the ground. Look at command and conquer 4 and EALA. I think at one point both EALA and C&C were both basically a mobile game studio/game franchise and it was god awful.

I’ve had a ton of crashes on my Ryzen system but none on my Intel system. Enabling dx12 in the config file seems to have helped. Many have said there’s a memory leak and enabling dx12 seems to help it out some. I have double the ram in my Intel system so maybe it just hangs on for a little...

I’m more bothered by the game bundle. None of those games seemed worth the price. They should have at least given a $10 discount on the controller (they are frequently available for $10 cheaper) and thrown a game in for free ($30 for GTAV you have to be kidding). I ended up ordering it for a...

Got this email today. Bundle requires you buy the console + 1 game + 1 controller. Comes out to +/- $620 + tax.

We’ll because you’re trying to keep it below 70C apparently? 70C is not that hot these days compared to newer cards. You’re in for a rude awakening if you upgrade to something like a 3070 or better. Most of these newer cards are meant to run routinely 75-85C depending on the specifics and have...

To me RT was poorly implemented and is asking for trouble in MP. I always got long pauses and stutters in the beginning of a round and that's with a 3090.

I think possibly what got botted was when the queues were first opened for new cards. The evga site was barely working for most of us when those queues first opened. So I think it’s likely that there were bots being used to stack the queue, possibly for the same individuals.

I don’t know that I like the self healing vehicles either.
