RT is still something I find massively underwhelming. Played spiderman with it all maxed out, it's okay when you stand still to notice it, otherwise not bothered. I don't play all the latest titles, so the most visually impressive game for lighting I've still seen is RDR2. For me it made the...

I'm still undecided whether to go for a 5800x3d or go balls out and get the 7800x3d

I used to absolutely despise it, I still do when it comes to condo mode, but zero build is really fun. It makes sense too that there's ridiculous items and kit, it suits the game, but when I see similar stuff in pubg it just instantly turns me off. It's been uninstalled for years now, which is...

Going from 2700x to 3900x then to 5800x was a massive leap in gaming performance each jump. So going from a 1700 will feel colossal.

I'm in the same boat, I've had a 2700x, 3900x and 5800x on this motherboard, so do I get a 5800x3d or go ddr5 platform.

The prices will still suck and represent **** poor value, at least nvidia are consistent if nothing else.

I want to get back on pubg, few work mates play regularly but say it's still full of bots and hackers. I feel ashamed to say I've moved over to fortnite zero build... and even more ashamed to say I really enjoy it :eek:

Get the FE card, anything else you get will look and feel cheap by comparison. My old 3060ti was easily the best made card I've ever had.

My takeaway from this thread is: buying an AMD card you're basically buying Lambrini... but wait 3 years and it becomes a châteauneuf-du-pape. Not exactly a great marketing ploy, sense would dictate you just buy the châteauneuf-du-pape and enjoy now and buy another one in 2-3 years.

Loving this game so far, only issue is the irritating random crashes to desktop which seems to be a 40 series issue. Checked the vram usage and its always some 14 to 15gb then crashes if it hits the max 16gb. Not entirely sure why d4 is allocating so much vram, I'm only playing at...

Yup, it's turkeys voting for Christmas

Most of this thread is showing as ignore for me lol

Yeah I don't get that either, that's a very anti consumer mindset. All that matters in relation to all that crap is gross margin, which from everything I read, nvidia has HUGE margins, which makes transistor count and all that garbage irrelevant. If stock doesn't sell, are nvidia in a position...

Totally agree with everything you're saying, I'm just impatient and have the money to drop now. Doesn't help that the 3060ti was never the card I wanted, I was after the 3080FE, but never managed to get one even with the telegram reminders etc... had I managed to get one this gen wouldn't have...

Lol, okay that answers that then. I'll struggle on for now. My PC upgrade budget is/was over 3k, but think I'll use it towards repointing the house and buy some new dining furniture! I'm playing at 1440p UW and still have my 5800x, so not cutting edge at this stage...

I've only ever had a motherboard from them, the x470 taichi. Other than slow to arrive bios updates it's been perfectly reliable and seems very well built. Certainly does look or feel like a budget brand, quite the opposite in fact.

Does anyone think a 4070 FE is a worthwhile temp upgrade over a 3060ti? I can't find any solid comparisons as one vid to the next there's massive variations making me think the testing is flawed (perhaps intentionally).

Ultimately they are priced badly, which is why no one is buying them. That can't go on like this forever, at some point something has to give. They can dig in and hold the prices for only so long before they have to start shifting stock. The fact the FE models like the 4080 have been permanently...

Hipster tax

Maybe, but it's still not acceptable and prices will continue to be ****** if people keep buying mediocre cards at flagship prices.
