Changing all floor in home.

Plus, I tried getting a 3080 and 3090 at launch with no luck. Computer/gaming room remodel is almost done, so hopefully I will get a 3090 by Mid October.

I've loved that guy since the first time I meant him in a Chevron gas station parking lot to give him 2x360MM Rads.

We then stood in the parking lot and talked about PC gaming for about 20mins where he never made eye contact with me once.

Hadn't really checked, I'm probably gonna set it for a little price plus shipping and see where it goes

I can wait to get another, not in a rush when I can pay a good chunk of the one I want with the sale of this one.

$2500+.

Whether or not they're selling is a different story.

Hdmi 2.1 isn't needed and will be dead on the next GPUs for DP2.0 just like the previous hdmi versions. DP2.0 is double the bandwidth and required for 8K 60 which Nvidia already advertises for a bit.

I really wouldn't worry about it, it's not the future in any way other than for televisions/consoles that don't use DP.

With 16K video and VR-friendly data transfer speeds, DisplayPort 2 looks to be future-proof. It’s possible that we won’t see an upgrade to the video standard for another decade.

Ampere doesn't have DP2.0 I don't believe, so you're probably 2 years away from seeing it for GPUs even if monitors use it early next year.


There's some rumors the TI's/Supers down the road will have it though.

What? HDMI 2.1 is pretty irrelevant the day DP2 drops. Idk why you have such a hard on for it, displayport will always be the PC gaming choice. HDMI is centered around televisions, whereas VESA centers DP around PC's. That's why you see GPU's with 3 displayports to one HDMI. Plus it's a free open standard and runs better with GSync/Freesync displays since VRR is also VESA's.

Dude what is with your attitude responding to my posts? Always some hyperbolic emotional attack.

Just the truth. You have had a hard on about it for a month. Don't be so soft.

Well it is officially Zen 3 week, reveal is on Thursday. Rumor is October 20th release.

AMD officially hit 25% market share in Steam Survey and is gaining 1% per month, a very good clip. Now set to take the gaming market for the foreseeable future as well.

Lisa Su continues to achieve win after win in the CPU market arena, with Steam's Hardware Survey now reporting a 25% market share for AMD processors, with that figure growing every month at a rate of 1%. Now on the brink of a new CPU launch, AMD is decidedly pushing its new Ryzen 5000 series CPUs as gaming CPUs first, something AMD has never done.



There is also a rumor that to combat Intel Tiger Lake, AMD is going to tease the next APU's with Zen 3 cores and Navi RDNA2 GPU. The mobile market is getting wild.
