It was the first I’ve used it, but I had a good experience on the /hardwareswap Sub-Reddit. I found a local buyer and made the exchange in person. In daylight, near a Starbucks. I had several other prospective buyers, but was relieved to find someone a 15 minute drive away.

I recognised myself in this so exactly I made myself put my Oculus on Ebay.

And then realised I used ebay UK, so delisted again :(

4734

Looks like 2070 has been discontinued. That’s a good sign.

4735

I’ll still give you an “A” for effort. :)

4736

Agreed; stronger stirrings in the rumor mill that Nvidia is going to be releasing four tiers by Thanksgiving and the **60 equivalent will come Q1 2021

4737

Three and a half more months seems like a long time given the discontinuations. I’m hoping it’s sooner than that.

4738

They probably planned to announce in mid-August, going by history, and the pandemic disrupted their timeline. But they had already made contractual agreements to wind down production on the old models. That’s my guess, anyway.

4739

I’m itching to pull the trigger on a new system, argh! Waiting on GPU info from both Nvidia and AMD (would take a lot to get me to go back to an AMD GPU, but you never know) as well as Zen 3 details. Come on!

4740

Yep, all 3 releasing this year. It’s gonna be fun.

4741

My goal is a new Zen 3 build and to have AMD & Nvidia compete for my GPU money (insert letthemfight gif). While I finally have enough for a new system after all these years, I know I can’t afford the “insane” price levels. It seems like a perfect convergence coming up, but time will soon tell.

4742

I dunno. I’m still on a 6700K but I don’t feel any compelling need to upgrade my CPU. I will be getting a new GPU however, as ray-tracing support will be required for a console equivalent experience next year.

4743

I’d agree that the 6700k is still a serviceable CPU. In your shoes, I would wait for Intel’s response to Zen 3 and see what new chips are coming down the pipe next year. It feels like my 2500k is practically groaning under the weight of modern games, however, so I can be your guniea pig with AMD’s upcoming offerings if you’d like, lol.

Edit - as an aside, this will be the last AM4 socket generation, as well

4744

I’m on a 6700k and I’m quite happy with the performance still, but my mobo is on its last leg so I’m just getting a new system. I do play a fair number of CPU-intensive games, though, so I’m not going to complain about a boost there!

4745

I’ve already planned to upgrade my CPU/RAM/mobo this year. The 1070ti is holding up better than I thought it would, so I’ll probably delay a GPU upgrade at least another year. It may depend on what happens in the ray-tracing scene, as there are still only a few games right now that support it.

4746

OK, maybe some faulty memory here but here it goes. When the 1080 first was released it was the founder card only and it took some time for the other manufacturers released their cards. The 2000 series most of the other manufacturers had their cards available on day one. Has there been any indication what is happening with the 3000 series?

4747

Nobody knows. The 1080 wait wasn’t very long.

4748

Other than pictures of a supposed ASUS 3080Ti? Not that I know of

4749

It was in Europe.

4750

I am seeing used 2080Ti’s show up for $800 now.

Wondering if I should sell my year old RTX2080 and survive with my somewhat functional (no HDMI but DPs work) backup card, a GTX1080. @stusser what a good sell price for a RTX2080? :)

4751

I thought it was too here in Canada but I don’t trust my memory
