Trib 8th ID Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 rtx 3080 is down to $800 now but read 40 series coming out relatively soon (this year). Think it's worth waiting for 40 series? My concern is short supply or massive buying reselling on the 40 series and I'll have to wait another year. What you guys think? “It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble.

Tweek 8th ID Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I'd wait and compare the specs between the 40 and say a 3080ti. Probably not that much different, ususally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuehhas 8th ID Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Just get the 3080, the better graphic capabilities of the 40 series won't matter for DoDS Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do little. -Edmund Burke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trib 8th ID Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Good idea I should wait to compare specs. I'll try to catch you on discord later Elf, I always appreciate your expertise! Kuehhas you have a good point but part of me thinks DoDs only runs off of cpu. I use to max out around 400fps I upgraded my cpu now I can pull like 800fps Edited July 1, 2022 by Trib 8th ID “It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble.

Trib 8th ID Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 Looks like the 4080 will be released in October. I am gonna wait until then bc either I buy a 40 series or there will be a ton of 3080's on the market from people upgrading I bet I could buy an used one for cheap at that time. “It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble.

I had to pull the plug early on one. I am sick of the AMD drivers crashing on me and a friend of mine things I have a bad memory module. Seems its gotten worse over the last month. I am supposed to be able to pick it up on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I would buy when 40 series is announced offcially then you will see a lot of used gpus going up for sale which usually makes buying retail easier. You will never need another gpu with 3080 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trib 8th ID Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 Still no official release. Highly doubt it will be released in October now. Prob gonna have to wait until 2023 “It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble.

Trib 8th ID Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 Awesome! I bet the 3080 prices will drop even more once that news comes out. “It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble.

Not always the case as they struggle, with demand of the next gen gpus so always have old stock to keep the cash coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trib 8th ID Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 Apparently Nvidia announced they purchased and received $10billion worth of parts for the 40 series so they are not limited in stock. “It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble.

Trib 8th ID Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 Since EVGA is done making GPU's what brand do you guys recommend now? Pretty sure I am gonna go with a 4090. “It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble.

Trib 8th ID Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 Sweet I'll look for an Asus. Is MSI any good?
