3060Ti

[Harlequin]

Those were the prices earlier in the year - I believe it is now over $10K per wafer currently on TSMC 7nm.

I was using techspot numbers: https://www.techspot.com/news/86813...T's model, a,7nm node reportedly costs $9,346

from september


Can see Nv staying at Samsung for 7nm EUV - the process is on ramp up and will be ready for full production next year. They have a reported $1 billion supply contract at Samsung anyway - which is around 180,000 wafers i think.

2-3 weeks their UK partner site are still selling FE cards on a weekly basis.

Yeah - been several big drops of the 3070FE recently and enough 3090s to stick around for awhile versus demand at that price - just the 3080FE that has tiny quantities and gone immediately.

50% more cost for roughly 10% more gaming performance, over the 3080...not hard to see why the 3090 are still in stock.

 

[SkillTim]

Nope - but most of the drops are between 2pm and 4pm for the FE cards - launches have been 1pm recently due to the clock changes.

That was true for the 3070 launch but not now. The US puts their clocks back a week later than us. The launch is 2pm GMT.

Still seem to sell albeit slower heh.

Seems to be a popular story to push by certain pro-AMD people that nVidia made a tiny number of FE cards that were gone immediately and that was it - in reality there have been almost weekly drops of FE cards in not insignificant numbers in some cases 2 drops a week though one of them has been more like a dozen cards.

And this looks like it's brought 2080 Super performance down two tiers and improved upon price/performance currently available.

I think it's the best launch of the lot at the moment.

In a very poor selection of GPU's

Yep, I believe this is the best price/performance card *ever*. I think some people have unrealistic expectations for the arc of progress.

AMD says *hold my beer* - they only have 2 sku`s out

 

[Justnotsleeping]

Another reason why tts a real shame that Nvidia just give up on making FE cards as they are by far the best looking of the cards.

 

[Stu999]

£80-100 over rpp lol

Yep, ridiculous. You may as well wait for a 3070FE at that level.

 

[benparker]

Linus was saying it has 12 pins instead of 8 pins. Is that a big deal?

Have they given up on making them? I thought they just were not selling them and had gotten partner stores to sell instead?

Production will wiond down on FE cards, as it did on the 20xx range ones - then its £500 3060Ti`s!

You get an adapter

Some of it is that 1440p is becoming the new entry-level res for gaming.

You won't do 1440/144+ FPS on a 3060 Ti. Heck even the 3080 won't reach the top refresh rate of a 1440p 165Hz gaming monitor in all games.

You can't expect the xx60 cards to be 1080p cards forever. That res is going to start dying out.

Especially when TVs are more and more going 4K as the entry level.

This is all good - it's progress. But we can't stay wedded to 1080p cards in the mid-range forever. And you need serious grunt for 1440p/144Hz (etc).

yeah no - https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam

65% of all steam users are on 1080p

 

[Captain]

£470 for the Palit 3060Ti

Only £40 cheaper than the 3070.

 

[FoxEye]

I read very recently that 1440p sales have overtaken 1080p sales of new monitors.

Don't expect 1080p to stick around forever.

Also why would you want it to? Is 1080p "good enough" and no need to move on?

 

[Harlequin]

Yes is the answer , thats native blu ray and online streaming res. 1440p is a niche resolution - 4k is the next push along with HDR (noticeable and instant quality of life upgrade with no performance hit , unlike DXR)

 

[FoxEye]

Also 4K TVs were out-selling 1080p TVs back in 2017...

You need to move on, lol.

That you think 1080p is good enough for now is quite sad

 

[ShakeNBake]

£100 less than a 3070 for only 5-10fps less
whelp. looks like my 3070 is already not worth the price i paid for it D:

this card will be the new price: performance king for now..
