DrDork posted:At least BestBuy's website doesn't completely poo poo itself like NVidia and EVGAs kept doing. Just, like, half poo poo itself. watch CP2077 be a buggy unplayable pile of garbage at launch anyway. Scalping will end - this is exactly as frustrating as the crypto boom of 2018 and then a few months later prices fell and availability went back to normal.

Might not be perfectly optimized, but hey, that's why you overbuy on your GPU, right? To brute-force your way through developer's bad code (*cough*  *cough*)

Overwatch could probably run at 30fps on a Tamagotchi egg. OW2 will probably run fantastically on a 2060S.

The whole reason of sticking with the 1070 through the pandemic was to wait for the 30 series and go big. I’m not going to be happy with a 20anything even if I don’t need to the full horse power of the 3080 yet.

ufarn posted:Witcher 3 was awful on console launch though. True, but that was likely because CDPR had been developing primarily for PCs up until then, and the current-gen consoles are weak as gently caress, and TW3 was really pushing the performance boundaries when it launched. It was just too much game for consoles until they scaled some stuff back and better optimized for them. (though why they had motion blur defaulted on when it was hurting FPS and didn't add anything considering most TVs will give you their own "motion blur" for free is a mystery) Anyhow, I couldn't care less how it plays on console--we're not in the PS5 thread, after all! Of course the PS5/XBoxSX will have a better GPU than like 80% of PCs when it launches, soooo.... DrDork fucked around with this message at 22:40 on Oct 12, 2020 |

For anyone with coil whine on 30xx FE: I think it was mentioned in the thread earlier, but for anyone who missed it, I completely eliminated my fairly loud coil whine with a slight underclock.

So what are the odds of me getting a 3070 (or 3080) by the end of November? I've got some covid grant money that expires then, but it won't cover the full cost so I'll either need to buy a gift card and combine that with the covid card, or just go into a physical store and use multiple cards. I'm pretty close to Best Buy Bellevue, do you think they'll be stocking them? My 1660 Ti isn't cutting it for VR games.

You don’t need to sit at the pc with F5 ready to go but if you don’t set up at least a tracker and have your phone ready to go you aren’t getting a card for MSRP within a month. It’ll certainly slow down but nobody really knows when. My buddy who made fun of me last week for having discord and payment info ready to go is now frustrated because he doesn’t have a card yet and mine is on the way. When he asked me to help score one it became clear early he wasn’t planning on actually trying himself. The dude isn’t getting one anytime soon.

I've always been a budget card user so I've never been on the cutting edge before.

I developed feelings of hate every time I see your avatar in this thread (well more like jealousy!). I ordered the same LG monitor as yours on Sept 22nd in Canada on Amazon and still nothing. I guess they really mean the 1-2 month in Canada! Also, it's kinda funny that I always tell myself not to buy the first editions of graphic cards on a given generation... This have been true since at least the 570, 770, 970 and 1070 I currently have... The first time I don't want to wait and also want to try a 80 series, I can't throw my money fast enough to get one. Looks like I'll see a refresh before I can get one normally. I want a very specific EVGA model so I'm waiting until there is normal stock... if it ever happens. As long as they can't make them fast enough scalpers will be there with their bots. The situation feels so bad that it also feels like it will take a long time before the scalpers feel obsolete on these products. Hemish fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Oct 13, 2020 |

spunkshui posted:But I dont want to buy a 20 series card. The whole reason of sticking with the 1070 through the pandemic was to wait for the 30 series and go big. Blizzard has a long history of making sure their games run on older hardware. It's part of why their games sell so well. It's a safe guess that your 1070 will run Overwatch 2. Certainly not at 4k max settings, but passably at 1080. Obviously cranking the game to the max is fun, but you're going to be able to enjoy OW2 on an older machine enough to tide you over until you finally manage to snag a 30xx card. I hope this framing helps put you at ease a bit. EDIT: To illustrate my point, check out the Steam hardware survey results list of most common GPUs. #1 (10.79%) is the 1060 #2 (7.60%) is the 1050 Ti #3 (4.83%) is the 1050 #4 (3.98%) is the 1070 #5 (3.76%) is the 1650 Just those top 5 cards is 30.96% of machines that took the survey. Granted, Blizzard doesn't distribute on Steam, but the venn diagram of Blizzard and Steam PC gamers is probably drat near a circle. There's no way Blizzard would cut out 30% of sales immediately by not being able to support those cards at all, not even at low settings. They make games for massive audiences, not exclusively for people with the latest and best hardware who need the fanciest graphics money can buy.

I want to turn ALL the things up and NEVER dip below 141. Our financial situation is actually better then when we got the 1070s and trump bux alone is still going to cover all our computer shenanigan's this year. I would practically buy a 3090 but we need 2 cards.

From the poor EVGA guy that everyone is tweeting at 50k times a day: The EVGA queue is a drat joke unless they massively increase supply. They're like 20 to 30 minutes into day one of the queue (ie 7:30am on September 17th) At the current rate, they'll get to the 19th sometime in late December.

For the time being NVIDIA looks to be selling from Best Buy exclusively. Join the discord linked every few pages and make sure to go to the notifications channel and follow the instructions to get notified. Also have a Best Buy account with your billing, shipping and updated card info. If you need to prep the card for a large purchase so fraud prevention doesn’t snag you do that too. There have been drops roughly once a week, lately towards the end. The windows are small but getting bigger every time. I got my card ordered on Friday and there was about a 10 minute window. Plenty of time to get one if you had the right setup ready to go. The key is to use as much automation as you can so you can just live your life and not burn out actually sitting at a keyboard (unless you already do.)
