go for it.

I'm always of the mind set that if you're always waiting for new tech, you'll never have anything

That means I could get a brand new 2070 Super for around $350. Worth it? Or wait for new Nvidia cards?

If you aren't buying Big Ampere 102s, then yeah, go for it.

I'd wait. Just a couple months and the new offerings from both are large leaps. 7nm+ is a good jump from 7nm both CPU and GPU wise.

I agree with this statement usually but being so close to basically 3 major launches I would just wait it out. Arent the GPU upgrades supposed to be pretty huge?

Can he get 2070 super performance for $350? That remains to be known, so don't wait on speculation and get what you can now

In a few months I would imagine he could get 2070 super performance for cheaper. I would guess that there are more than a couple of people who purchased supers with the intention of buying a 3000 series once they released

What FPS are you getting in warzone and what card do you have?

I’m only getting like 110 with everything low except AA all the way up. I have the 1080 and 8700k

The other issue is... The mining craze is supposed to come back this year too... Which could completely frick up graphics card prices.

CPUs thankfully are not impacted, but anything ITX related right now is already fairly expensive, including power supplies and motherboards, and its hard to find them in stock.

I only bought a few shares when it was $40ea, but I've been putting all my buddies on the bandwagon for their portfolios

I didn't want to miss out on another NVDA

Keep buying both too. AMD is looking at $100/s by end of '21.

I sound smart (at less in my head) when I thought about things like AMD, NVDA, MU, and TSMC. At less I feel like I can explain why certain things happen in/are happening in that sector.

Yesterday I was riding a high when I saw TSMC soaring pre-market along with AMD. I've been telling the buddies to jump on both before the end of the year.

I feel soo dumb in this stuff, but yeah, I'm looking at some put options for Nvidia, just in case any of the ARM rumors come true.
