Both coming in September, will you be upgrading?

ive been planning on upgrading for like 2 years now but every new generation of gpus seems to cost way more than im willing to pay for the minor upgrade id get out of it

my 1080 honestly still runs well and i don't know how efficient the ray tracing stuff will be on the 3000 series. Jewvidia basically stated the RTX series is going to age poorly for those who will be using ray tracing on future titles. Maybe the 4000 series.

insecure much?

I don't get excited for GPUs and I FUCK bro.

No one, that is why we buy the new cards for 4 figures for a larger boost than 20%. Dumbass poor person.

prove it

1080 ti gang here

Never upgrading

yeah. I upgraded to 3400x1440 and it is kicking the shit out of my 2070.

I planned to upgrade from 980ti when 20xx series came out. Then it turned out that they all cost close to 2k EUR. No way I'm buying the next gen if the price is so high again.

>upgrading
what for, my 2500k and 970 is still pulling a solid 60fps in Doom and Snowrunner with most settings maxed there's very little worth playing that justifies the cost of upgrading right now for me

why did you post twice?

I can't believe this card was only $750 at launch. probably the best card ever made

holy shit. that sounds like a good deal

why did you post twice?

I have literally never not had an issue with amd cards. If you run anything but the latest and greatest games expect issues. I remember when Elite Dangerous was fucked for over a year.

Ye. Time to finally put this 970 to rest.

Same but I will be upgrading, tired of playing games at lowest setting to hit 1440p ~144fps.

15 years ago. the fan on my radeon 9800 pro stopped working. came home and it smelled like burning plastic. it still worked though.

a question for YOUR question OP, why should we upgrade?

what GAME is FORCING us to upgrade to this NEW TECH?

this isn't the 90s anymore, with our clear jumps in NEEDING NEW GFX CARDS EVERY 2 YEARS

I am retarded.
I typoed 1070 into 2070. delted it and forgot to correct it when I copy and pasted. then just gave up cause it's really not that important.

Why did you post twice?

3440x1440 is demanding and it's not like I do anything else aside from vidya so probably, most definitely if it's a ~50% increase like last time we had a node shrink (mawell to pascal).

I'm on 1080p 144Hz with Freesync, which it's still just a really good card for.

Pretty much everyone is reporting that the 3000 series will be cheaper, and the main reason why the 2000 series were so expensive in the first place was because of AMD dropping the ball as usual (in that time period) and the crypto boom.

get an egpu and connect it to a laptop. Turn any laptop into a gaming laptop for a fraction of the price.

The one time I bought AMD it flat out wouldn't run Jedi Academy and no one seemed to care about this world-breaking issue. Never buying that shit again, it's for ricefags with nouveau rich LED nightmares.

I'll stay with my 1060 6GB until it dies out.

I've had 4 AMD cards and 5 nvidia cards and never had problems with either. However, the shortest lived cards (as in: they fucking broke too early) were the HD4870, HD7950, and the GeForce 7950 GX2 Siamese card.

lol, so 2000 purchasers got double fucked.

>1060
OH NO NO NO

>tfw foolishly bought a 2060 super
TRICKED AGAIN

Bro, that was over a decade ago, QC has gotten a lot better since then, and the drivers are fine. My only complaint with mine, is that it sounds like a jet airplane and is a literal space heater, but thats cause i cheaped out and bought the reference model.

They paid for the privilege of being beta testers for the tensor cores, and the raytracing is a barely functional gimmick in the few games its implemented in. The performance gains over Pascal could NOT justify that price. Seen estimates that the 3080 Ti is going to be ~$800 and they say the raytracing implementation is going to be far more efficient.

I will only updrade if the 3000 series gives me solid 60fps 4k with rtx on in every game. Otherwise not worth it.

the boys upstairs said you should start a new thread because you're not getting paid until you apply yourself

Maybe.

I would like a new card for the new builds. Normally in the past you kept a CPU awhile and just needed a new GPU, but my R9 390 has solidly played everything really well for 3 different CPU builds.

I really hope AMD strikes back hard though because Nvidia prices have gotten out of hand. RTX on either would be nice provided they get it to where it doesn't chug terribly, even then though it needs some sort of backward support to shader it in to some effect in older titles.

Seriously though, 3 damn builds and the same GPU continues to play in the higher settings just fine. Speaks to the quality at the time I guess.

I know an embarrassingly little about computers.
Is there a good resource that gives me a general idea about budget allocation and about how much I should expect each component to cost me, or good price benchmarks for what is considered good?

Fuck off. I'm sure if I bought your riceshit now it'd fuck up playing Wing Commander 3 or whatever.

Probably nvidia. I just amd can force them to lower prices. If a 3070 costs over 400 dollars then I'm going amd

Was gonna upgrade my GTX 970, but the insane prices of GPU's these day and the lack of AAA games worth playing has put that on hold.

how much? :(
do I need to upgrade anything else if my computer is 9 years old?

/g/ or unironically reddit

I am waiting for Zen 3, RDNA 2 and Ampere to build a new machine. This one is 3570k and GTX 970, but I think it's showing electrical problems or something in the mobo or power supply. The PSU and some of the HDDs date back to the mid 2000s.

i will wait precisely two months
and pay almost nothing
as per par

The rule of thumb is about half the price on your build should go to GPU. This of course varies if going for a super cheap or super expensive build, but in the makes sense to build area it holds up.

Many over pay on motherboard. Anything going past around 300 is usually adding features you probably will not need or use and generally plenty less than that is fine. (EATX is stupid and lacks a standard size its a gamble if it will fit a given case)

PSU corsair, seasonic, evga (higher end ones anyway) are usually good, avoid cheap shit or have fire insurance.

Cringe.

Yes. My 980 has served me well, but now is the time for a refresh. Going to be a complete new build.
