Early 3060ti reviews are very disappointing. I have a 2070 Super and I’m probably not upgrading at this point.

nobody really upgrades from a one gen to the next by going down.

And I’ve seen nothing but good things at that price even beating a 2080 super

Cool, I finally broke down when my current laptop started struggling to play league.

Well it's $100 cheaper than the 2070 super was, right?

The reviews I saw looked good. 50% performance uplift over 2060 super, and 20% performance uplift over 5700xt--the previous champ at that price point. And about 12% lower than the 3070 for $100 less.

Yes, but right now, you would be lucky to get one at $399 judging how the 3070 and 3080 releases went.

Its more closer to 10-11% better than the 5700xt, which is still good, but I was sort of hoping for more. The 2000 series in general was a very poorly priced group. The 2060 Super actually was terrible value at $400, compared to the 5700xt, and the 2070 Super.

Actually I see the opposite. Best price/performance card out there right now. Short of when 6700XT probably comes out which will be primary competition there.

It easily beats a 2070 Super by a good bit and was still like 4-7% faster than 2080 Super at various resolutions. So slightly better than previous gen $700 performance for $400 now is a nice improvement. Not as great as the 2080Ti performance going down to $500 basically for a 3070, but for $400 still a really good value and hardware unboxed best price per frame performing card right now. Also, 8 GB VRAM buffer easier to swallow at $400 vs. $500 for the 3070, especially when you start trying to play 4k in some games.

Hmm... maybe I watched a few negative ones. I'll go watch the GamersNexus and Hardware Unboxed reviews.

alright guys, i've got a dilemma. the wife got me an LG 27UL500 4K monitor. awesome, right? well, its' only 60hz. i got my resolutions mixed up accidentally put it on my wishlist on amazon. shared the list with my wife and it was the only monitor out of 3 on my list that was in stock. would y'all still keep it and play on it? or would you return it?

i was thinking it was a 1440p/144hz monitor but like i said, i got my resolutions mixed up.

well my thoughts after i realized my mistake was, "well, i have a 5700xt. can it even push 4K beyond 60 fps in call of duty?"
