not for me but you computing nerds may be interested in this auction (Page 3/3) Jefrysuko DEC 18, 07:18 PM quote Originally posted by Raydar: Other than it being for charity, can someone please explain why? EVGA just recently gave Nvidia the middle finger and is not going to be producing any 4000 series video cards. The unit being auctioned is an engineering sample and one of a couple that are in the hands of the public. IMSA GT DEC 18, 08:34 PM quote Originally posted by ls3mach: The market must be about to take a turn. I have seen a lot of really good deals for GPUs lately. Not just Christmas specials either. I think and hope the prices start to tank. They are all WAY over valued. $2000 cell phones and GPUs is effing silly. The funny part is that I bought my son a RTX 3060 for around $500. It's a 12gb card but even his most taxing games set at "ultra" use only about 4gb of that memory. GPU prices are coming back down to reality, finally. Now that Intel has released their line of graphics cards, we'll see what happens to the market. Patrick DEC 18, 09:49 PM quote Originally posted by ls3mach: Patrick that seems like a good price... I thought so too... especially here in Canada where it seems everything is higher priced than in the States. It was a local purchase done through Craigslist, so no shipping fees were required either. I admit I'm not a big fan of meeting some stranger on a street corner to make a purchase though. I certainly wouldn't go that route for anything really pricey.

If your gaming at 1080p then a 3060 will play any game on ultra with no issues. Hell a 2060 will do that easily.. It's when you start getting into 2k and 4k gaming is when that extra horse power comes into play. Especially with VR setups. Me personally i only have a 1080p monitor, so that's what i game at, and my 2080 is often overkill for what i need. As for Intel's new GPU line, i wouldn't consider them a competitor in the market for quite a while (if ever!) They are having a lot of issues with the drivers for their new cards (keep in mind they don't have decades of experience developing gpu drivers like Nvidia and AMD have had) .. Which is causing really bad performance issues and compatibility problems. Basically if you have any games that are more that around 5 years old, the gpu's won't even play them. So far performance has been pretty bad with those cards. Maybe they can get the drivers sorted out and get in the game, but i would say it will probably be a few years at least before anyone would consider them competition.
