WUT.
theres usually some difference, like if they stay close to the reference design or roll their own pcb layout, and if they deviate, is it for cost savings or increased performance. i havent kept up with this stuff in a long time so i dont know who does what anymore, though

used to be xfx could get you a lifetime warranty, so it was worth tolerating the green color scheme for that alone, but i dont think anyone offers that anymore

I bought a 970 a few years back and the 1070 dropped less than a month later. EVGA had an upgrade program ( can't remember the window) where you could send your card back and pay the difference from what you paid to MSRP of what you were upgrading to. It was totally worth it.

mostly cooling solutions. previous nvidia reference cards all had terrible cooling so it was up to the vendors to fix. thats why nvidia made a big deal of their cooling solution for the 30 series.

I'm astounded that the MSRPs didn't jump to the moon. If those claimed performance figures are true I might actually buy a high end video card when I upgrade my desktop later this year.

going from a 1060 to a 3080 would be a pretty big jump, and I imagine that card would last me for ages

they already bumped up the pricing from historical levels for the 20 series and i think they realized they werent gonna be able to get another bump, especially given how poorly the 20 series was received.

that's what i'm gonna do. now, people's expectations have kinda been corrupted by a very overpriced generation preceded by the mining craze, but these things are offering 50% more perf / dollar than i would have expected had you asked me one week ago.

same but 3700x and maybe replacing my 1060 with a 3070

or wait for a hypothetical 3060 or see if AMD makes a good card again. $500 is still loving expensive, and I'm cheap plus I don't game THAT much

judging from online sentiment its going to be a pretty popular launch as everyone with 10 series cards is looking to upgrade and there are lots of people with 10 series cards. I also wonder if board partners are gonna limit their supplies after the 20 series wasnt so successful.

but yeah nobody knows. i want a 3090 tho. idk what im gonna do for cpu cause i still dont believe in amd
