Anyone just given up on looking for a new GPU?

cant really blame a business for marked up prices, blame those payimg the vastly inflated prices,if folk didnt pay those prices, then those prices would fall some what. though if it keeps on folk will abandon the pc market and go to consoles, if that happens on mass then the companies will end up counting the costs, atm as a business its fill your boots and folk continue to buy at insane prices

Panic buying never seems to end. All it takes is somebody to spread the word "shortage" and mass hysteria kicks off.

I agree like car fuel, this panic buying is only 30xx cards, not other Components

Well things like that kicking about causes it as well. So scalpers jump in to make a quick killing. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Nvidi...-as-high-as-possible-until-1H22.573312.0.html

Sadly this just seems to be the way of the World these days

So I would not be surprised if there's more than a grain of truth in what you pointed to.

Wasn't there a article about tsmc withholding production to companies that where stockpiling ?

Maybe Nvidia have fallen fowl of this.

How much of their gaming revenue has be geforce-now ?

shaunwil · 20 Nov 2021 at 17:55

Maybe not on the main GPU chip but the supporting chips.

Forgot samsung makes their main chips !

I'm noticing plenty of games now that struggle to run well on my card.

I'm usually quite patient about the wait but the thought of this lasting god knows how long,
is starting to make me think that I'll probably end up having to pay up and get something.

I suppose the best 'value' would be something like a 6600XT or 6700XT.

It'll depend on what you can get for what price. The least bad value sometimes available is probably the occasional drop of nvidia FE cards because they're sold at MSRP. You'd have to set up alerts to a device you carry on you at all times and be ready to buy immediately when the alert goes off, though.

Good point. Yeah, maybe something like the 3060/Ti FE might be the way to go in these circumstances.

3060ti is twice as fast as a 980ti at 2560x1440p the monitor resolution you have. Good card I managed to snag an FE last drop for £380 that included delivery. Last drop was 29.10.21.

3060 is a lot slower you don't want that. 3060ti or 3070 are the ones to get.

Thanks, M8. I'll check that vid out.

Your welcome mate. Avoid the normal 3060. As edited above 3060ti or 3070.

This review has the 980ti and 3060ti results. For a legit review.

Cool, my favourite tech channel. I expect I've seen that one but I'm always game to check out more HUB vids! Ta.

Every day passes I see how lucky I am to have s 3080 for MSRP.
