Wait for the new AMD cards in December. Why buy an expensive fire hazard made by Nvidia?

I just got a 3080 non-ti brand new for less than MSRP and I'm sure it's the last Nvidia ill buy for a few cycles.

But I also won't upgrade it for a few years, its plenty.

I did, I feel like I timed it as the 3080's bottomed out ahead of the 40xx hype

But with the demand, will I be able to get one at Best Buy or Microcenter? I need more pixels on Custom Order Maid 2.

That’s what I’m doing. I’m just so damn confused about AMDs naming scheme lol

I would love to buy a 7900XTX in December, but realistically speaking the scalpers are going to make that borderline impossible just like the 4090 has been since launch

Edit: Putting the 4080 benchmark into my first comment since people are asking for source on the raster estimate which is fair https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4080-overclocking-and-4k-gaming-benchmarks-leaked

These 4080 benchmarks are from tech outlets that already have the card and should be pretty accurate and it's hitting numbers right around what AMD claims the XTX can do. Personally if the 4080 is really trading blows with the XTX I'd pay $200 more for better RT and DLSS3.

Don’t think that’s true. The rasteration is better than 4080 by significant margin. But the RT is not as good.

And your source is?

The AMD presentation..? They laid out the numbers and you can pretty easily draw conclusions based on them. He's probably wrong about the 7900XTX matching the 4080 - the 7900XTX is faster.

He's right about RT though, the 7900XTX matches the 3090/3090Ti in that department, so will be quite a bit behind the 4080.

4080 benchmarks are getting leaked and should be fairly accurate. It's hitting numbers right around what AMD is claiming with the XTX.

Amd is claiming a 1.5x - 1.7x uplift over the 6950. I think you need to check your mathematics here, friend, because you're spreading some questionable information. Let's take the OC'd 4080 and compare it to the 6950.

15,062 ÷ 10644 ~ 1.415. This means the overclocked 4080, which may cost more than the $1200 msrp, is only 41.5% faster than the 6950. If amd isnt bullshitting us, then the overclocked 4080 will be slower than the 7900xtx.

You don't have benchmarks on either, so your assumption is just that. But based on what we know, the XTX should be SIGNIFICANT faster than the 4080 in raster, ESPECIALLY if you get an AIB card that pumps up the power to 450 watts!

For RT, we will have to just wait for actual numbers. As for DLSS? AMD has FSR, and while DLSS might have a SLIGHT edge in overall quality, you have to strain to see the differences in most of the comparisons I have seen. Buying overpriced hardware because of a SOFTWARE feature is ludicrous in any case.
