I love benchmarks like this on youtube, really shows how far we've come since Ryzen first gen to now.

Ryzen 1600x vs. 2600x vs. 3600x vs. 5600x FPS in 8 games:

Tesla Arcade specs leaked, AMD Navi 23 GPU with 16GB GDDR6 Samsung memory. DP1.4 and HDMI 1.4 with PCIe Gen 4x8. Performance on par with PS5 at 10 teraflops.

So, any advice on how to get a 3060TI or 3070? Looking at upgrading and kinda narrowed down to those two. Is this worse than the PS5/XSX chase?

They’re impossible to get right now unless you’re willing to pay a huge premium. I want to do a mini itx build and was thinking about putting a 2060 in it and even those aren’t around at retail price. GPU market is insane right now.

I just got a 3070 last night on my first time trying (for a 3070... 3080s are another story). So I’d say probably better than PS5/XBX.

I usually keep Falcodrin’s twitch stream running in the background while I’m at home. He starts hollaring when drops happen and posts links in chat. He also has a link to his discord where you can set up notifications to get alerts on your pc or phone when drops happen. The alerts contain a link to the buy page, which is also nice.

StockDrops has a similar set up with discord notifications.

In addition to that, you need to go to all the websites ahead of time and set up accounts, save logins & passwords, and save payment & shipping info if possible. That will make it more likely for you to squeeze through in the short windows that stock is available. Sites are:

Amazon
Newegg
Best Buy
BandH
Adorama
Asus
Zotac

The next are you can take is setting up your own bot with streetmerchant, but that is a lot more involved. This is what falcodrin & others are using to scan for stock. Having your own bot running saves a few precious seconds and it will open up the buy page automatically in your default browser. I also have mine set up to text me with links when drops happen.

If you don't absolutely need the card now, don't buy it.

Period. I'd want a 3060ti (or a 6700 XT for my build, because of thermals/efficiency), but the 2070 Super I have does everything I need to for my usage.

I'm not giving AMD or Nvidia an insane amount of money for a GPU just because they have supply issues.

Over double its MSRP

I'm so happy I managed to snag my 3070 for $750 now. I still want a 3080 but no way I'm paying $1300+

I'm doing a mini-ITX build so I have to get a 3060ti. Waiting for them to ship and have a reasonable price. I have a 780 ti Classified in my closet that I might use to get the build up and running until it becomes available. I'm on auto notify on B&H and EVGA sites so hopefully not too long.

After that I'll eventually get a 3080 as that seems to be absolute best price/performance card at list price.

I won an opportunity to buy a 6800XT for 1100 from Newegg tonight, passed on it. I may buy a 3080 to put in another mining rig, I've made a good bit off my 3090.

I’m live with the zotac 3070 I picked up the other night. No uni fans yet so I have the case all opened up and I kicked the fan speeds up in firestorm to make sure it keeps cool in the mean time.

Need to get ram clocks up tomorrow too. They’re 3200mhz but bios showing 2133. Is it just as simple as turning on xmp?

Ah well, I would have just passed on the opportunity to buy it if I could have done that. Limited to my account.
