    WTB: 3060 Ti FE

    I'm looking to buy an RTX 3060 Ti FE, in good condition and preferably not mined with. Must include the 12-pin power adapter cable. Looking for $275.00 shipped to Virginia. Heatware (46-0-0)

    Anyone seriously considering the 4070 TI

    Reports are the MSRP may be $799 for the 4070 Ti. Still too expensive, but at least that will put downwards pressure on all the other 4xxx series cards below it.

    [H] Stock Alerts, Tips & Tears for Nvidia, AMD, Intel, PS5, XBOX

    If they're giving you an actual code after waiting in line, they should give you at least 3 minutes to make the purchase before removing it from your cart. That sucks.

    Anyone seriously considering the 4070 TI

    If the $899.99 MSRP is true, then used 3090's are going to be cheaper with 2x the VRAM and 2x the memory bandwidth (for games that like memory bandwidth). I don't know why anyone would buy a 4070 Ti unless the MSRP is closer to $599.99.

    My local Micro Center has a crap ton of Zotac 4080 cards, but nothing else. Seems like they can't give away Zotac cards. :D

    Further Big Price Cut on AM5 at Newegg, Amazon, B&H Photo, and probably others 7950x @ $550-$555 and 7900x @ $474

    The 5800x3d has the edge in 1080p gaming. But if you're playing at higher resolutions the 5950X is the wiser choice, if you can find one for ~$350.00. Of course, there's also the "fun factor" to consider. You've already had a 5950X. Maybe having something new and fun to play with would be...

    Who here is keeping their 3 series and skipping 4 series nV cards?

    Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. The problem is there still isn't the "perfect" 32 inch 4K, 144Hz HDR display out there with enough local dimming zones to suit my desires. OLED still worries me for burn-in, since I do a lot of desktop usage on my PC, not just gaming. I don't mind spending...

    Who here is keeping their 3 series and skipping 4 series nV cards?

    Staying with my 3090. I only game at 4K 60fps, so the power of a 4090 would be useless to me. The next upgrade I need is a monitor.

    It looks like they also got rid of the $50.00 motherboard combo discount.

    RTX 4080: Countdown To Second-Best™

    At this point, it's better to just buy one generation behind, instead of giving in to scaplers. You can get a 3090 or 3080Ti at decent price points, and still have a beastly card. Or wait a year for and pick up a 4090 at more reasonable prices.

    HOT? Super Flower Leadex 1600W Platinum PSU = $249.99 after instant rebate @ Newegg

    This is why we let the early adopters go first with their money. We'll pick up some 4090's next year when they're cheaper and a new cable is produced. :cool:

    HOT? Super Flower Leadex 1600W Platinum PSU = $249.99 after instant rebate @ Newegg

    I'm no power supply expert, but this seems like a good deal. Newegg has the Super Flower Leadex 1600W Platinum PSU on sale for $249.99 out the door price with instant rebate. :eek:

    Upgrading from 3700X - 5700X or 5800X?

    As others have said, if your purpose for upgrading is better productivity, then going to a 5700X really isn't worth the money/time. Wait for used deals on the 5900X. People will be unloading them like crazy once the 7000 series drops.

    Raptor Lake 2022 October at the latest

    No point spending $575.00+ on a 12900K when it is about to be made obsolete by the 13700K, which should offer equal performance for less money. Or, if you're in the $575.00+ market, why not just wait for the 13900K?

    11700K + ASUS Z590-P Prime WiFi - $270. Microcenter - In Store Only

    But isn't that only if the CPU itself supports DDR4? If some Z690 boards are getting 13 support I'd bet they're only the ones that currently support DDR5. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Ryzen 9 5950X = $499.00 @ Newegg

    Yes, you make a good point about the low-power mode and efficiency of the 5950X. It seems Intel is using the brute force approach lately.

    Ryzen 9 5950X = $499.00 @ Newegg

    Newegg has the Ryzen 9 5950X on sale for $499.00, which is pretty nice if you're looking for an in-socket upgrade. :cool: However, if the leaked benchmarks of the 13600K are accurate, this might not be a stellar deal for folks looking to build a new system from scratch.

    Gigabyte Z590 Aorus Master Motherboard = $199.99 @ Newegg

    Newegg is basically giving away Gigabyte Z590 Aorus Master motherboards. They're currently on sale for $199.99 out the door. :eek: This board supports 10GbE LAN, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, 18+1 90A VRM, 10 USB 3.2 ports, and a host of other features. Sure, it "only" supports DDR4/PCIE-4, but it...
