When the Gpu's prices will go down ?

building a new rig, upgrading from a 8770k and a 3070. Got myself a 7950x3d but haven't decided if I should pull the triger on a GPU yet or keep the 3070 for a while... Would need to be something like a 7900 xtx or a 4090 used.

I'd hang on until the new cards come out unless you come into some unexpected cash and fancy a fresh warranty, which is what happened with me. Otherwise I'd still be running a 3080.

Your 3080 by the looks of it will get through another gen at least!

Easily, that was and still is a great card and I was really happy for the chap who bought it off me, he got something really good. Like I say, unexpected cash came my way and I fancied a bit of new and shiny along with a fresh warranty.

3080 cost me 649 quid too, lot less than the 959 for this one. I do like this one as well and it should still have some value should I go for a 50 series card, although that won't be at launch. It'll be after the early adopters have tested them out.

How are you finding the jump between the 3080 to 4080 super? Worth the upgrade?

Yeah I think so, but that's mainly because of the newer features like FG, RR, efficiency (runs games at 55c max at almost 3ghz) and the fact I got some unexpected cash so didn't really miss the 600 quid net spend. I think I'd still be running the 3080 had I not had that cash, you really don't expect a bonus at work in tricky times, well I didn't anyway.

Oh and the 16gb of memory, even at 1440p a very small amount of games like that more than 10gb.
 
Reading through the thread here, there does seem to be a lot more "happy on my xx" than we've seen for a few years (only feels).
With big pivots to industry uses of cards, do wonder if there's something of a slowing occurring that might eventually see prices rebalanced a little.
Probably hoping (especially while there IS good industry uses for cards and that seems to be growing) but still....

the market for AI hardware will be disrupted eventually, the price difference between consumer and AI applications is too big to be sustainable in the long term, but its not going to play out in the next 3-5 years
perhaps like how early computers were too expensive, maybe AI is currently in a similar phase
 
I'm still happy with mine (1070ti) because I'm mostly playing indie games & there seems to be very few "next gen" titles I'm interested in.

It's getting there, Alan Wake 2 is no go on it, Talos Principle 2 is pushing it abit (dips below 60 on the back half of the demo, gpu 100% so not cpu limited) and I suspect Space Marine 2 will be a bridge too far as well, but that's only a handful of games. I could be tempted to upgrade for the right the price, considering I keep my stuff for a good while and some next gen games like Alan wake and Avatar are already calling for 3060ti for 1080p, a 4070 would be a safe bet for lasting a while, but unless I see an unmissable deal, I'm happy playing my indie games and esports games for now.
 
Was tempted by a 7900xtx deal recently for £728 but decided £300 (61%) more over a 7800xt for 51% more performance at 1440p wasn’t worth it this late in the gen. Thanks to @uscool for making me see sense!

7800xt is very capable at 2k with same vram buffer as the GRE and can be overclocked an additional 10-12% so maintains the gap even when the GRE is overclocked.

7800xt is roughly 18% behind a stock 7900xt once overclocked and matches a stock 7900 GRE- plenty fast for me.

Will upgrade if I get 4090 performance for £600-650- don’t know when that will be lol!
