So is that why Nvidia did the whole certified Freesync monitors thing a while back and even appropriated the Freesync brand by pushing "G Sync compatible" as the moniker? And G Sync-branded laptops didn't even use G Sync.G Sync is still better than Free Sync
Just not even remotely true.From a technical viewpoint, I really doubt that its going to be possible for AMD to 'batter Ampere all over the place'. At best they are playing a game of catching up, and will be lucky to even get on par. The tech and specification on these cards are second to none.
That's two month away, releasing 19th November.![]()
I think you're posting in the wrong place if you expect a forum full of enthusiasts to relax when a new product has been released at extortionate prices with limited supply aimed exactly at them.
AMD? nah can't see it sorry.
Personally at least I'm both itching for an upgrade in general and because CP2077 is releasing soon - that one qualifies as a must-have for me.
You're running a 3900X and you don't see AMD pulling anything off? Alright then.
It was always my plan to wait and to watch the reviews of the 3080's founders and AIB cards. And to see if AMD comes up with anything decent in october. But I have to say it was shocking to see the absolute meltdown and frankly embarrassing shoddy lowdown money grabbing practices of ocuk and the likes, really showed you the lenghts and depths companys will delve to. Understand its tough out there in this current clime, but make no mistake you have brand damaged the name you had. Lot's of peed of customers after that one. Anyway I'll wait as i dont need anything until xmas so by then i'll have hopefully a decent choice of options. Like the look and performance of the ASUS TUF OC by the way going on Hardware unboxed review. Its a tough one though, rumours of a 3080 20 gig card, but its getting into silly money realms. So come on big navi.
I lold at that too. I don't think he's been following them recently or has jumped on the AMD hate bandwagon.Just not even remotely true.
That Asus TUF card is now going to be gouged to hell now it's had good reviews.
This also turns an already expensive purchase into a ridiculously expensive purchase, unless 2nd hand monitors hold their value well?
Oh my goodness.
Why don't you guys just wait?
1 In a month or two prices would have stabilized.
2 The brand of card you want will more likely be in stock.
3 20GB 3080's might be announced.
4 AMD will reveal Big Navi.
5 More reviews will be out on all the AIB cards. EG The Asus TUF is so fatr the best cooler out of all the ones tested.
Just relax guys.
3080 walks all over a 2080/1080Ti in old games at 4k, even at 1440p for people wanting 144hz+ it is a clear improvement.older games don't need more performance than a 2080/1080Ti
We are talking about GPUs not CPUs?You're running a 3900X and you don't see AMD pulling anything off? Alright then.
You completely missed the point... No one expected AMD to compete with Ryzen. Now look at themWe are talking about GPUs not CPUs?
