Sad that $700+ cards only have 12GB of VRAM.
Without the benefit of time machines yet existing, if someone needs a GPU now then this it's still a decent option in price/performance.
This. If you're going to spend $700+ dollars on a graphics card, what's an extra 150-200 to get something more powerful.
Ahh, the death trap of buying pc components above your budget. Some people have very hard price points and will not go a dollar above it. It always gets me when someone says I'm looking to spend X; But get recommendations with prices beyond their budget.
Haha. Versus buying year or years old tech for 85% of current gens cost.
It's not like the 3080Ti is so old that it's slow and outdated. runs current games just fine
Sure. It's your call. I'd rather spend a bit more and have the latest support. I think it's a mistake to save a few bucks to get "old" stuff. If anything, buy used to save a bigger gap, at least.
used is like $100 less than new.
Ah, then buy a 4070 Ti!
personally, I'll probably just stick with this 3080Ti for the next few years. I think I played a game for 10 minutes last week. Just lost the desire to game.
It’s a great card. It’s worth trying to find something that aligns. It’ll be a good stress reliever. I’m not ashamed to say I play Fortnite about 99% of the time. Simple, quick, great graphics, awesome stress reliever. If you can find a game that you can do bite size sessions it’ll help you find more time with your busy schedule and/or lack of desire.
I used to play a lot of Overwatch but stopped playing shortly after it was converted to Overwatch 2, it just lost its soul.
I mean it's no different than before, every 2 years or so they pop out another generation of video cards since at least the 900 series. And if you bought the 3090 you basically bought what used to be called the "Titan" video card which was always grossly overpriced compared to the next lowest card. If anything I'd be pissed that the 3090 prices dropped more than $500 (which was like the only Nvidia 30 series card to actually drop in price)
I've got one as well, not sure why you'd be upset about it, it happens with most good releases (unless you weren't expecting Nvidia to have back to back good card series) , especially with the top cards , generally overpriced for the gain.
All I'm saying is if a person is willing to spend $700 dollars on something they absolutely don't need, whats a few more hundred dollars? If youre willing to go the extra mile, you can go an extra foot too.
People still have budgets.
People can adjust their budgets, all it takes is patience.
this is why unless you have infinite money and upgrade as a hobby it's best to just buy and forget it exists
Excellent indeed.
Windows 7 is a great OS, the best right behind Windows 2000, but why on earth are people still using it? Windows 10 is everything W7 has to offer and more. Windows 11 sucks though.
Just get the 10 year warranty and you’re golden
How so? Evga doesn't do video cards anymore, or 10 year warranties
.Ruining my fun…How so? Evga doesn't do video cards anymore, or 10 year warranties
They're trying to model it in the likeness of a sports league--if I'm reading the situation correctly, anyway. And, while I agree that it sucks from the perspective of player choice, it *does* make sense from a business/strategic standpoint.
