if EVGA's B-stock of the 2080ti drops below $500, it might be worth going that route instead of a 3070 because we all know the 3070 will be sold out in a matter of seconds come friday morning.

I'm of the belief of staying on the latest gen, if it makes sense, because of drivers and new tech.

AMD officially buys FPGA chip maker Xilinx for 35 billion total. AMD about to go hard in the data center space.

That's where AMD really needs to make a dent. Intel has owned that space for so long now.

Yeah, they've made great progress and this should really put the heat on going forward. 14nm Intel is still brutal for Intel in this market too rn.

Less than 2% market share in 2015 to 30% by 2023. Currently at about 15%.

Yeha I think they just about doubled year over year last year from 7% up to that 15% as Intel loses ground still stuck on 14nm Xeon.

12GB would be disappointing.

11 GB frame buffer vs. 8 GB though, as long as you're not at 4k for either one the 3070 makes more sense but if going 4k you're going to want that extra memory IMO.

I mean I wouldnt pay $500 for a used/refurb 2080 Ti but $400-$450, I'd consider it for sure over a 3070.

The mid-range market is about to get super compressed, think about all those cards before today in the $280-$500 brackets.

Like what will happen to 2070 Super and 5700 XT prices, going to be interesting.

Do we know when the AMD cards will be released or will they announce that tomorrow?

Tomorrow we'll know everything, same thing as the cpu debut a few weeks back.

Rumor is Nov 12th.

Any of you guys use Distill.io? It’s a web site change tracker that alerts you when a specific change to the page has changed. Saw someone on reddit say that’s how they got a 3080. It’s free for the web browser, but it’s $12 a month to send you notifications to your phone.

I didn’t use it directly but a couple people in a discord group I’m in have been, got my Tuf 3080 by a guy that gave me a heads up on it was up on Amazon. This was back on October 2nd.

Also the 3080 is more than I could ask for, getting some nice performance with a 150+ core overclock, never goes above 60c. Was thinking about undervolting but I think I hit the silicone lottery.
