Anyone following this EVGA 3090's bricking story? Guess they are dropping like flies right now, something about the rear VRM's.

Those VRMs run hot as frick. You're card could be running at like 80C but those VRMs are running 110C+

Yeah I think I'd be doing some mods to try and help keep them cooler if I had one at this point.

Yea even just replacing the thermal pads made a huge difference.
Not many people check specific VRM temps, so it could become a big problem

I hate working with Azure, much rather AWS.

Especially since Microsoft loves to randomly break Azure from time to time

Was a nightmare when I was developing on a project in LC.

Maybe that's why they lost the pentagon deal.

According to whispers from the rumor mill, AMD’s next-gen RDNA 3 based Navi 33 (RX 7800 XT) die is all set to be taped out (finalized) in the last quarter of 2021. Additionally, the Navi 31 (RX 7900 XT) flagship which is going to be based on an MCM (chiplet) design is allegedly going to pack a total of over 15 thousand cores (15,360 to be exact). That’s pretty insane especially if you consider that the Radeon RX 6900 XT which is based on the full-fledged Navi 21 die consists of *just* 5,120 stream processors.

And will remain out of stock forever

I don't think either company will have these issues next year.
Excited to see what AMD can do with MCM GPU's, given how successful they were with them on the CPU side. Triple the cores of a 6900XT is pretty bonkers to think about.
Nvidia's Hopper arch is MCM as well, and then Intel thinks they have the best.

I think it's best for me to just wait it out right now and not overspend on a 3080ti as much as I want it. Still getting 100+ FPS on pubg right now with my 3070 at 4k, so that can do for now
Battlefield will be an interesting one to see if I actually need to upgrade or not

Yeah I've got to get at least a 6700XT by Battlefield if not a 6800 non XT.
Posted on 7/24/21 at 12:01 am to UltimateHog
If I really get the one from today, I might sell it to you at cost + shipping if you’re interested.
Posted on 7/24/21 at 12:05 am to finchmeister08
I'll keep that in mind. Gonna keep trying for a 6800 as main choice.

May not be the right spot to ask - but I have a PC that I put together back in 2013. It still runs fine for what I use it for. However, if I want to get back into gaming with newer games, then I will need an upgrade.
Currently:
AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor 4.00 GHz
AMD Radeon R9 200 Series GPU
8 GB RAM
I am thinking my best bet is to aim for a prebuilt? Thoughts?

AMD has not publicly confirmed the launch date for RDNA3 GPUs, however, the last two weeks were filled with rumors on these new GPUs. AMD is expected to launch as many as four RDNA3 GPUs, including Navi 31 and 32, both expected to feature multi-chip design, and Navi 33 and 34 which are to be monolithic.

AMD expects the component shortages to continue throughout 2021, but with a good outlook for 2022.

i'd go with a prebuilt option. amazon has a asus rog prebuilt with a 3070 for $1700. it's out of stock right now unless you want to pay more than that.
Amazon
Also, follow the GPU thread of mine. lots of deals get posted there pretty often. today (7/29), AMD is expected to drop some of their 6000 series cards. antonline usually has some EVGA bundles for sale off and on as well.
another prebuilt option would be NZXT. alot of streamers use them.
