My Lenovo laptop has this resolution.

Even my 980ti handles it pretty well.

Does anybody really know what scale it is?

something which tells me I ate too much fried food?

Nvidia suffered a pretty severe DOS over the past 2 days and due to the timing, this may be a Russian hack. If you downloaded new drivers recently, I would watch out and update your virus scanner etc.

10165

Maybe I pulled the trigger a bit early:

Where are they pulling the current prices? Just a quick glance at Amazon and a google search indicates 1060 6gigs going for close to double the $244 they show, though the 3060 is closer at $642 here and $750-plus on Amazon.

10167

Ebay I would think. I see 1060s selling around $230. 3060s are more variable but the ones that fetched more are the higher end models. Some sold below $600, although generally used. Maybe they’re including used prices.

10168

Perhaps, I did notice a few prices on Ebay closer to what they have in the article, but they were used. Which would seem like a different market to me, but I’m not a builder or upgrader for the most part so what do I know?

10169

When I bought my OC 2060 12GB last week (~$500), it was Newegg which had the most reasonable pricing.

It is a different market, but it’s serving the same demand. If the used market starts to decline in price down to sane levels it’s a good sign that the supply/demand imbalance is evening out. Now I’m sure the manufacturers won’t cut MSRP, because they like the high prices and have proof that people will pay them, but it may mean that supply becomes plentiful and we return to the “good old days” of just clicking “add to cart” and “checkout” and getting a GPU delivered promptly.

10171

Thanks for all the answers. I don’t know why I even check in this thread. It’s just depressing seeing the insane prices haven’t really cooled off. But maybe they’re on the way down for a while like that article says.

In an era of inflation and crunch on chip production capacity afflicting the whole semiconductor industry, I wouldn’t hold my breath on prices coming down. I’d say the soonest that I would expect that would be 3-4 years from now if all the semiconductor firms overreact to the current supply crunch and build too many chip production facilities. Which is possible.

That’s about the only circumstance I can see where someone is motivated to crash the GPU profit party with lower priced products. It would be a bid to steal marketshare and show some ROI on chip foundries that might otherwise be idle.

I’m not all doom and gloom though. While the prices may be high, I think in the next year or so we will see supply and demand balance out. So the GPUs will still be pricy but won’t be impossible to get.

10173

I would 100% avoid a GPU from Ebay. Anything reasonably priced was probably heavily used for mining already. Caveat Emptor!

10174

Wait a sec. My 2060 Super is going for more than I paid for it in July of 2019? Or is that a different 2060 Super SKU? Seems…off.

10175

Most likely yes. I sold my 1070 Ti last summer for more than I paid for it. Helped to take the sting out of the high price of a new card.

10176

FWIW, I saw an Alienware 3070 for $1500, pretty solid deal, and my Dell for $1800 with a 3080 (10GB) is running well.

10177

Well, this Newegg listing was posted on Reddit 18 hours ago and it’s still in stock. 3070 Ti, $870, sold by Newegg. Not a great price, but at least it’s available. Maybe the drought is ending?

edit: aaaand it’s gone. Think it lasted another 12 hours or so after I posted.
