Yawn

But $93 this morning =)

3070 @ 499 on par or better with/than 2080Ti?

This reminds me of Big Kepler (OG TITAN) launch. I haven't seen a performance boost like this in years.

And Facebook marketplace already flooded with 20x0 series cards for almost full price

I haven't been this excited for an upgrade since idk, Little Kepler or OG TITAN.

Maybe because MSFS crushed my computer even at 1440, but this is a serious upgrade that feels and looks on paper to be worth it.

there will almost certainly be a 16gb 3070 and a 20gb 3080 in several months

makes me want to just get a 3090 from the outset.



Lets just say:

$800 for AIB 3080 + 10% tax + $20 shipping = $900
$1100 for AIB 3080Ti + 10% tax + $20 shipping = $1230

Maybe I get $650 for the 3080 on reddit. I'm at $1480 total cost there.

May as well just get the 3090. Have the best shite for years to come and not have to deal with selling, shipping, etc.

The nerds on reddit tell me that the 3090 will be far better for my Index as well

I'm old and reddit stresses me out. I stay on forums.

But yeah, I'm just going to bite the bullet with the 3090.

Edt: I've paid more for less of a performance boost too, so they is an easy upgrade (as of now).

The new surface foldable has me really intrigued. I love the look of it, but I wish it at least had a small screen on the outside for notifications

For a 3090? What a waste.

48" CX will be a hot choice for a lot buying it I would think. I've thought about it myself personally. So much more value over a traditional monitor but also so expensive. Be perfect for my PS5 at my desk as well.

Yeah they've got a ways to go with that thing for a few years.

I like the hinge mechanism and the looks more than the galaxy fold, but just give me a tiny notification screen and I'd be happy

Yeah I can't get behind it, just far too lacking and it's Microsoft. But I don't like it's look either, MS's outdated style from the Surface is tired. But it's not comparable to the Fold 2 anyways.

It might make a huge leap in its 2nd Gen like the Fold 2 though. Would never buy first Gen just like with the the first Fold. Hell the Fold had a plastic screen first Gen.
