LOL, i'd like to see those framerates for those 22 games..........those could be games that are limited in other ways. the RTX 3070 is not a 4K, and that's what I was seeking.

Twinblade★ 3,892 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 With this video card my new PC comes out to about ~$2100-$2200. Thats just too much, and I don't see much of a future for PC gaming if it continues this way. I paid barely over half that much for my last PC (5-6 years ago now) and it was still running every modern game relatively well at high settings. Hell, my $260 1660ti still smokes almost everything as long as ray tracing is off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is that the market dictates the price... if cards are selling out left and right at these prices.. then that's what they'll sell them at. Prices wont come down, realistically, until PC purchasing drops hard in rebellion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Mother Fucker 26 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Only pay MSRP. Don't pay the scalper price, unless you don't care about getting ripped off. What's happening today is quite shameful, resellers, AIBs, retailers and scalpers know you will give them every dollar for a GPU. You got to fight the urge, be smart with your cash. NVIDIA MSRP is Best Buy's weekly drops. AMD MSRP is AMD Direct. There really is not better alternative. Even Micro-Center went shit scalpy over the months charging well over a grand for GPUs that should be half the price. Follow the cost per frame. It's the best valued GPUs that are the sweet spot.

Substatic 420 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Damn guess it was lucky I got my 3080 TUF OC from Microcenter at $700, then another $60 off from selling the turd CoD it came with. But this was all in November 2020, before all the stores jacked up prices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t understand how legitimate retailers are allowed to inflate the prices of their gpus and become scalpers themselves. Nvidia and other manufacturers should not allow that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And it gives Nvidia more incentive to sell their cards to their 3rd party vendors at a higher price and produce less of them for themselves. Nvidia only sells through BestBuy now with their Founder's Edition cards... that tells you all you need to know pretty much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
