Nothing mate, Place I worked at shut down so I'm living on savings for a few months so a new GPU is a big no go, I'm currently on a 2080 Super a friend of mine let me borrow from his HTPC so it'll tide me over for a while until I'm back on my feet

I honestly doubt I'll be getting a new GPU again, Honestly kind of tired of the never ending upgrade cycle, The ever climbing prices and especially with many games not really taking advantage of the hardware available, Upgrading just seems like spending money for the sake of spending money now.

Yep - they're awesome. I have the same card and paid two grand for it and don't regret the purchase at all. OC is selling the same card for £560 less now which is still a heckuva lot but you do get a ****-load of performance and a really well built card for it. Value is subjective to the purchaser though so I wouldn't recommend anyone buy one until the 4090 has been officially announced (you might get a 3090Ti even cheaper still or the 4090 might indeed blow it away - for a price).Was at a friends place for an hour today and he has an MSI 3090 Ti Suprim X, Holy hell is that thing fast, If I wasn't trying to be frugal until my new job starts I'd be on it like white on rice

I'm just amazed that Nvidia can bring out a product like the 3090 Ti and within 6 months with the 4000 series make it obsolete, I don't think I could ever willingly be an Nvidia customer again as they have zero respect for their customer base.

Not obsolete, it just will not be the top dog anymore.
It really is up to people if they choose to keep chasing the carrot or not.
My general recommendation to people is to skip a generation or two.

And the 6950XT doesn't count because....? That was released after the Ti!
Soldato
Oh it counts too, Both AMD and Nvidia if they could would hook up a blood siphon straight from the vein if they could
On a side note I was at my workmates again today, His rig is the 5800X3D and 3090 Ti Suprim X, Damn that is a good pairing, He did have a 12900K but thanks to the 3D's extra cache is getting higher FPS in basically everything but the general performance.... daayyuummmm !

Considered getting a 3090Ti but it would be stupid now with the 4000 series perhaps only a month away. Best believe it will look ‘slow’ come that time.
But that’s what PC gaming has always been like . You either keep your gear and drop settings, or upgrade every year if you want the top performance
If anything, I’d say it’s ‘better’ now because gaming has been more constrained to consoles and as a result, graphical requirements have become less demanding and have progressed slower, allowing you to keep your hardware longer.

Unless Jensen Wang has found a magical rainbow unicorn that births enchanted silicon I don't think it'll look slow but it will be a decent jump. I imagine a Turing to Ampere type improvement.

Raphael-X (Zen4 w/cache) should be ****ing sweet man!Oh it counts too, Both AMD and Nvidia if they could would hook up a blood siphon straight from the vein if they could

Indeed it would, On a side note I just learned I'll be buying my mates 3090 Ti Suprim X off him for £500 when the 4000 series lands as he's getting the 4090 or 4090 Ti or whatever they end up calling it and just wants to shift his 3090 Ti quickly, I am continuing my trend of not directly giving Nvidia money therefore not being a customer

I know! I suppose it's a bit of a gamble, however, who knows what pricing and availability will be like for the 4000 series.
Plus I've been trying to grab a 3000 series card since release!
Soldato
Well unless games suddenly take a monumental leap in graphics technology I'd say you're covered until the 5000 series.
