Yes that's true. 3060ti around $600ish as well. Of course the prices are pretty meaningless at this point when you can't actually order any of them other than the occasional 3090 for 2K+ that you can actually still find online.

You wouldn't be stupid to pay those prices if you need something to game with now. If you have no functional video card it doesn't leave you with a lot of choices. Nvidia 3000 series and AMD 6000 series are extremely hard to find in Canada. If you live close enough to a brick and mortar like...

It's a good deal if you compare to what else is out there right now. It's about $550-600CDN for the 3060ti. Sure that's a lot of money, but the 5700xt is the same price in Canada and is slower. The 3070 is $700 in Canada for 10%ish faster card. I get the statement that it's a pricey card, but I...

I'm glad they did release the 3060ti. I managed to finally snag a GPU after hunting for the 3070/3080/6800 series. Got a MSI Ventus 3060ti, I'm just relieved I have the last part for my computer build on the way.

I picked one up from ME online in Canada at 6:03am (PST). Grabbed an MSI for $599. There's actually still a bit of inventory left in the stores almost 5 hours later.

I can't blame anyone for taking advantage of foolish people with too much money. You do you.

If you don't mind overpaying you can go for Extreme-pc or check newegg for Aeromalls getting stock. Those go between 899-999 CAD.

Any idea if the 6800 will have significantly more supply than the 6800xt? Honestly I'll probably grab whatever I can that is in stock for my new build. I suspect the 6800 will be the easiest to find due to being lowest performer and probably less attractive than the 6800xt given the amount of...

In Canada I'm not near any places to line up and grab one of the processors so I was hunting through online sites. Unfortunately most of the stock from retailers online were only selling processor in store with small amounts that were snapped up quickly. I was going in looking for a 5600x with a...

Sold out quickly in Canada and can't find any stock at the moment, been checking off and on throughout the day.

10% price premium for 15-20% performance increase. Price for performance is good. I agree the lack of a $500 sku is an issue. Might be enough to convince me to go 3070 even though the 6800 seems worth the 79 more

Wasn't the benchmarks for the 6800 the only ones not including SAM and/or RAGE benefits? Does this mean on a Zen3 setup the 6800 might be about 25%faster than the 3070? I wonder if they did that to give the appearance of more performance difference between the 6800 and 6800XT than actually...

Putting together a new build for 1080p 165hz G-Sync monitors. Planning on a Ryzen 5600x. Do I go with a 3070 for the Gsync or spend more for the 6800 to get the 15%+ performance (plus more with SAM and RAGE). I know either card will handle 1080p 165hz now but knowing I am building a Zen3 should...

Would have loved the 6800 to come in at the same price as the 3070, but for the performance I can't blame them. Planning on a build this holiday season with a Ryzen 5600 and was looking at the 3070, but that 6800 is impressive for a bit more. Would have loved if there was a 6700 that performed...

Given you can't add more Vram without increasing the cost and for everyone using the 3070 at 1080/1440 (it's intended market) would get no performance increase then I'm glad Nvidia didn't just say Fuck what it needs as well.

Given it's a 1080/1440 card and not 4k does it really need more?

Hopefully if there is enough stock of the 3070 it will actually bring mid range cards down in price. Not sure about USD but they want $700CAD plus for a 2070super that doesn't come close to 3070 performance. Can't see how the 3070 isn't a great buy compared to what else is currently available...

So as someone running 1080P at 165hz going for a new build with a Ryzen 5600x does this seem like a decent combo with the 3070? Unless of course the 6000 series Radeon's present something better in the under $500 bracket.

If I'm not mistaken theres some validity to AMD cards faring better a couple years after release compared to Nvidia based on drivers. That's just something I read, can't recall if there stats ro back it up. I seem to recall some comparison charts showing Nvidia cards that used to have leads no...

Not sure industry needs to move on from 1080p. I recently picked up a couple 24" Asus 1080p 165hz monitors because I can play games on a system that costs 1/2 as much and only needs to be upgraded 1/2 as often. This way when I upgrade I get great fps for the first few years and can either...

I'm looking to put together a new build in the next 2 months. I have a pair of ASUS VG248QG monitors that can go up to 165Hz and have Gsync. Leaning towards a Nvidia 3070 but not sure what platform/cpu/mobo to get. Currently running an i5 3570K so anything will be an upgrade, but given I'm...

I'm planning a new build at the end of the year when AMD's new processor and GPU's are revealed. If the 3070 is the best bang for the buck for $500 and under then that's what I'll get, otherwise I've had good experiences with AMD GPU's and willing to pick one of those up if it's a better choice.

I sincerely hope there's more stock for the 3070 when that drops. By then we might know more about AMD's offerings.

I would love this one: 1 x Starfinder: pact worlds campaign (Not a steam key is a Paizo key and have no idea what this is)

I'm hopeful that because AMD has some actual cards that will compete with the 2070 for performance that they will have to price it accordingly. Of course they can't really do that and have the 2070 too close in performance to the 2080 so I suspect they will have to make the 2070 priced and...

I've always enjoyed knowing that when I come here I'm getting the straight goods about whatever you guys are writing about. It looks to me like this NDA might stop that from being possible regarding Nvidia products in the future and I say HELL NO! Sometimes you gotta do things the [H]ard way

I’m over in BC and about 5 hours from Vancouver so there’s not much in my area in the used market. Thanks for the advice.

Used markets can vary quite a bit depending where you are. I suspect you missed the two references to Canadian dollars in the OP.

Thanks for the quick replies and confirming what I saw when I did a hasty search on power consumption. Sounds like the mining market might be turning a bit of a corner and there’s some new cards on the horizon so I think I will run the 270 for a bit.

Recently had my 290x die on me and have thrown in a 270 for now to get by. I was looking in the used market locally and saw a MSI rx 580 4gb oc armor for $280 Canadian ( looks like it’s $380 CDN brand new). Seems like a decent deal but I just want to make sure it won’t use more power than my...

I'm using a Corsair Vengeance 2000 headset I bought back in 2012. It's recently started cutting in and out a bit so I'm looking to replace it. I am happy with the run I had with this headset though. Battery is still decent and it was comfortable and durable. A Void Pro might be what I replace it...

I haven't been much of a console gamer for a while (Until recently only had a Xbox 360 and Wii) but figured I'd pick up a new console for this holiday season. Seemed like there was a ton of overlap between games on Xbox One and PC and less but still noticeable overlap on the PS4 and PC. I ended...

I put in $250 for this and waited as patiently as I could, but just got it refunded a few weeks ago. I was mostly looking forward to SQ42 as I loved the old Wing Commander games, but they seemed to be focusing their efforts elsewhere. The customer service was great about the refund, a few emails...

Old build here is getting rather tired. I don't play anything too intensive but struggling to raise the settings on what I do at the moment (mostly blizzard games). This is an i5 650, 8gb ram, 240gb SSD, Radeon 270, etc. There's a new build planned in my future (this old i5 can only last so...

That's in an official statement by the police department. I can't guarantee it's 100% accurate, but it's clearly more accurate than the re-report of a re-report of a report on a gaming news site that just ignores the details completely and leads to assumptions. Also on some of the sites they...

You have to follow the trail of links to the original sotry that has the link to the police statement of what actually happened.

If you follow the links and read the police statement it specifies the officer that shot him was aiming for centre mass and after the first rubber bullet hit the suspect doubled over causing the second round to hit him in the face. So you are absolutely correct where they were trained to aim and...

If you follow the link trail to the original story you can actually see the report from the police regarding the incident. The original link makes it sound like the police stormed the house and shot the guy in his sleep. In actuality it sounds like the guy was acting super suspicious and would...

Those 470's are pretty good for the price and absolutely stomping the 1050ti in comparison. I was really expecting the 1050 series cards would be closer in performance to the 1060's. There's a big gap and the 470 is filling it well for only about $30 more.
