xrayy Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 card still not available for normal price. i do not support this topic currently. if someone has specific questions please send a pm. update dez 2021 - in august i thought prices are high. but they stupidly increased 400E and more until Dez. so no fun for gamer with no card. i hope this changes in the mid or end of 2022. we will probably never see the recommended starting prices again. update jan 2022:finally, after the release of the 3080 12GB card, nvidia shows its true face. now we can clearly identify the true and leading scalper in this dirty "pushing prices" game which is a major pain for all gamer. and amd does not much better.

xrayy Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 i confirm my own jan 2022 update for 40xx generation. impressing cards but even more impressing prices. my card is just 50% as fast as the 4090 but i can live with that. :smile:at least 3080 prices are now close to "normal".

HeyYou Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Video card prices got stupid due to the pandemic, which cause the chip shortage. Mainly because pretty much ALL production simply stopped for a while. Things have recovered from that, and prices are much closer to 'normal', but, still higher than they were before the pandemic, which really shouldn't come as a surprise, considering EVERYTHING is more expensive than it was pre-pandemic...... That said, the 4 series cards are coming out? :D Not that I am in a hurry to upgrade, my 3070 does me just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagafyr Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 If you haven't purchased the NVidia RTX 30 series you might want to read the latest reports about Intel planning to surpass AMD and NVidia. I noted that a woman sold all her NVidia shares a few days ago. She also got attention on the WSJ for doing it when she bought shares of another companies.

They will no longer sell EVGA branded NVidia cards..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidcobra Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 EVGA was a great maker and will sadly be missed but I can't see intel beating Nvidia or AMD any time soon, maybe in 5 or 10 years they be close or on the same level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like they are completely new to the game. Should be interesting. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrayy Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 i hope intel will take part soon (within the next 5 years) in this competiton. driver compatibility for older graphics interfaces and games is their biggest handicap. and that is what counts at least for me.

xrayy Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 as i use a 4080 tuf in the meantime there are some experiences i can share: disadvantages:4080 is still overpriced but i decided to sell the 3080 while still getting a good price for it.even the advantanges over the 3090 cards is no argument because it is a comparison of old against a new overpriced card.i took the risk to buy it before the 79er amd cards had been launched and the 3080 dropped too much in price.it is still a bad time to get nvidia 4k cards for a reasonable price... advantages 4080:-always true 4k power available(100FPS+), while the 3080 10 GB operated already at its limits-no more hassle with vram limitation 16 vs 10 or 12gb, but if i watch the behaviour of all my 4k games i can't recommend any value below 16gb if you like to see Ultra HD graphics fidelity without stutter or compromises! cyberpunk with raytracing (not tested yet) seems to need all the extra nvidia features (see youtube). the 256bit vram bandwith combinded with a much more efficient and better cache seems superior to the older gen cards.it is like with skyrim: both, sse and fo4 can fully utilize 16GB vram at least with my 4k ultra setup.-low power consumption and efficiency compared to the 3080! while this is nothing new the difference is yaw dropping: fo4 ultra 4k it is 140 watts vs 230 and more while running with same settings, the 4080 is faster and smoother (both cards efficiency optimized).-cold and silent operation (not only) during gaming.
