When do the next generation GPUs drop?

The x70 card is always the best choice in terms of performance/dollar.

I’m really starting to regret selling my old 3080 to a friend for only a grand.

lordkosc · 2021-06-02T17:50:52.726Z

I’d of given you a grand and a case of Angel Soft. ;)

Suddenly the $1500 PC I bought a few months back that felt like I overpaid a bit feels like it was a bargain.

(3060Ti, Ryzen 5600X, 16GB RAM, 1GB nvme SSD, storage HDD, etc).

lordkosc · 2021-06-02T17:53:35.416Z

I am seeing 3060ti’s cards on ebay selling for $1200 and more. ;)

stusser · 2021-06-02T17:54:20.243Z

Good God. I’m seeing FTW3 Ultra 3080s going for $2999 now. Have one coming tomorrow, I paid just under $1000 for it including tax and shipping.

Jack_Howitzer · 2021-06-02T18:08:41.755Z

Hhmm I have 2 working 980’s around here somewhere, I wonder…

rei · 2021-06-02T18:20:12.248Z

I guess I’m hanging onto this 1080 Ti for the rest of my life.

stusser · 2021-06-02T18:30:46.836Z

I sold my 1080 non-Ti for over five hundred dollars.

From the FIXIT dude:

3080ti is a PAPER LAUNCH, Each Bestbuy Store on the list has at best 40 - 60 cards. Which means there are a total of 3240 - 4860 total cards available this launch for the founders throughout America.

Also posting images like (BB New Jersey as of like an hour ago):

Woolen_Horde · 2021-06-02T21:14:17.303Z

And those are all going to get resold at a higher price!

That’s not what a paper launch means. It’s a real launch, just a supply-constrained one.

Rock8man · 2021-06-02T21:28:25.659Z

Paper launch is 2000 cards for the U.S.? Or is that supply constrained too? 1000 cards? 500?

lordkosc · 2021-06-02T21:29:41.779Z

Paper launch is when you wait at Best Buy and they hand you a piece of paper with a picture of a RTX3080ti, and at the bottom is IOU.

stusser · 2021-06-02T21:30:11.257Z

1 card is not a paper launch. Paper means zero.

This is like “bricked”. Stupid people use “bricked” to mean when something doesn’t work right, but that isn’t correct. A device is bricked when it can only be used for its physical attributes, like holding open a door.

Weren’t you calling the 3070/3080 a paper launch back in September?

stusser:

They always sell out quickly, but not this quickly. I had a browser open with tabs logged in to five separate sites ready to go and nowinstock loaded right on time and I never even saw a card in stock. It really is a paper launch.
