I’m not going to call a man dumb for wanting to tinker, but SLI is dead. As a fricking door nail. Get what you can for your 2070 Super, combine that with what you would have spent on another, and buy a modern card.
Eta: I also wouldn’t expect those chips to plummet in price. The last chips on a platform tend to hold value reasonably well. They will (and have) dropped, but I wouldn’t expect them to go for a song.

Yeah, selling it and getting a 3080 or something I was just researching. I know SLi has been dead for a very long time, but I'm a big overclocking and running benchmarks guy. Looks like the Supers are selling for around $300 on the used market. I'm really looking forward to what AMD is dropping in November.
Very good point, especially considering how expensive the upgrade path looks to be for bump to the new 7xxx series is considering how expensive ram is and the decent mobos are pretty pricey, as well.

Microcenter ran deals on the 7700x, 7900x and 7950x over last weekend if you bought any of those 3 chips you got a 32 GB DDR5-5600 Gskill RAM kit for free.
They are running this again this weekend. Still get $20 off a mobo as well if you buy one with the CPU.

All MCs? Neither one near me has anything about it on their site.

They aren't advertising it on my site wither, but it was in their mailer. I would its all of them, just call and ask though, maybe not

The savings aren't usually worth it for me anyhow. Closest one still takes 30 minutes with traffic to get to and it's in a not so nice area.

The 4090 benchmarks are pretty damn insane.

40% improvement at 4k is incredible.
Too bad I ain't got $1600

Resist! Don't enable Nvidia.

After Nvidia's shittiness, I'm definitely holding off until AMD's November announcement. No promises on what I do beyond that point

Eh there was a bigger improvement between the 3080 and 2080.
Posted on 10/12/22 at 8:17 am to MetroAtlantaGatorFan
I was comparing top models (3090ti). The 2080ti was about 30% short of the 3090 on release.
I need to stop being lazy and sell my 2080 before it tanks even more

Toms Hardware got 71% uplift from 3090 in 4k ultra setting across 8 games
It's a pretty awesome uplift, one of the biggest I can remember. Can legitimately game in high refresh rate 4k with settings cranked in just about anything with this.
Considering how much a downgrade either 4080 card will likely be this (Only 60% of cuda cores on higher priced $1199 model) doesnt seem like too much of a ridiculous price honestly for a current flagship (cant believe I just said that about a $1,600 card
) It's almost like Nvidia is intentionally pushing people to just YOLO to the 4090 with the 'better' 4080 not that far off in price and should be a way way less performer.

4090s already been sold on Ebay for $1k above MSRP.
The 3080 is still a great card for 4k 60 FPS with mostly high settings.

Ain't nobody got time for 60fps

I'm hoping that the uplift the 4090 brings will initiate a shift with monitor manufacturers to really start putting out better 4k gaming displays. I feel like the niche has been stagnant for years now.

Nvidia just unlaunched the 4080 12 GB
Ok, as much as I’m tempted to pile on, genuinely, good on them. That card was 90% of the reason I was pissed off about this launch. Shame on them for attempting it in the first place, but they regain a bit of credibility in my eyes by backing down.
