Oh no!

The 3090ti is very simply and accurately described as a fully-enabled GA102 chip. It has 84 SM cores enabled as opposed to 82 in the 3090 (and 68 in the 3080).

Since it requires essentially a perfect chip, yield rates probably aren’t yet in a place where they can ship in quantity. Either that or they’re saving them for an A102 ML accelerator as opposed to a consumer gaming card.

10099

Considering they can’t even pump out the chips that are easier to make, doesn’t seem like much (consumer) hardship to not have yet another chip on the fab line that they can’t keep up with either.

Anyone played around with dldsr? When I try to use it with Total Warhammer 2 it seems to have problems.

10101

Try setting desktop resolution upwards as well.

10102

They’re already shipped them in the A6000.

10103

Is there anything in the sub-$600 range that would be a substantial improvement over a 1060 Ti with 6 Gig of ram? To drop onto a i7-7700 3,6MgHz? Don’t want to drop $1500 or more on a new system, but paying close to a grand for just a GPU seems a waste. Some browsing thru Amazon seems to indicate I’m probably out of luck trying to keep costs under $600.

10104

Did they even make a 1060ti? I don’t recall that model. Did you mean a 1660ti? If so, the answer is no.

If you meant a 1060 6GB, a RTX3050 would be a decent upgrade and the cheapest I see on Amazon is $550, which is an obscene markup but I guess it is technically under your cutoff.

If you really need to upgrade I’d try to find a gaming laptop deal with a RTX3060 in it. Those start around a thousand dollars.

10105

1060 GTX, thought it was Ti, but after checking it’s just 1060. They still show them on Amazon for 500 or more. I see some 2060s with 12 Gig ram for $600 plus, but not sure if it’s a big enough upgrade for that much money. If new 1060 and 2060 are so close in price I’m not sure it’s much of a bump in performance.

10106

2060 would be a nice bump particularly with DLSS, but I wouldn’t bother getting anything under a 3060.

10107

That was kind of my thinking. I can get some prebuilts with 3060s for around 1500 +- so spending close to a grand just for the 3060 seems silly. Guess I’ll just wait it out a bit. Thanks for the info.

10108

No, the thousand dollars I was referring to represents a complete gaming laptop with a 3060.

But I agree, if you can wait, wait.

10109

They did make a 1060 Ti. Anyways, hold out for a $1500~ prebuilt with 3060Ti.

10110

Yeah, anything under a 3060Ti seems like poor value, especially at current prices, and especially if you’re upgrading an ok-ish card in the first place.

  • Although 3060Ti’s seem like gold dust. The only card that’s remotely reasonably priced at retail is the 3070 Ti, but that’s on the high end price-wise. On the other hand it should be good for 5 or so years.
10111

Suppose you were hoping to find a card in the $150-$220 range that was not a gouging rip-off. If you were checking the local Microcenter stock, what cards & price would be reasonable? I haven’t bought a GPU in so long that even reading performance charts and such doesn’t make so much sense to me, because I’m not familiar with architecture/capability changes vs chipset generations.

I don’t actually play very many games these days, but I do use a couple of GPU-accelerated analysis programs (though with my current card they are better phrased as GPU-deccelerated).

10112

Probably nothing, but what’s your current card?

10113

Since it took so long for my name to come to the top of the pile for EVGA last time, I thought that I would join their queue now. However, it doesn’t seem like their site allows joining ANY product queue. Come on!

10114

I’d have to look when I get home, but it’s something that had been sitting in a drawer for 5 or more years that I had to grab when my son’s GPU died. So we’re talking something no longer even included in GPU hierarchy charts.

10115

I suspect they’re in part clearing the way for the 4000 series later this year.

10116

So, I bit the bullet and dropped $500 or so on a 12GB 2060 (I have an older PCIe 3 mobo anyways).

Mostly so I can play Total War: Warhammer 3…
