a moment of silence for our brothers who paid this price for a 3060

[–]lukezxl5600x, RTX 3090 1151 points1152 points  (188 children)

Paid this for a 3060 ti. Sadness

Pronouncing "T.i." as "Tie"...

[–]Rixae 29 points30 points  (7 children)

I thought it was pronounced tie

      Ti = Tiny Improvement

      [–]Moneymoneymoney2018PC Master Race 227 points228 points  (49 children)

      Not the 1080ti, best TI ever made.

      [–]How_that_convo_went 44 points45 points  (11 children)

      Still an absolute juggernaut for 1080p gaming. I was actually a little sad to retire mine when I recently upgraded. But it’s going to a good home— I’m giving it away for free to a buddy who’s currently rocking a GTX 960.

      [–]astoesz 19 points20 points  (6 children)

      Finally upgraded my 970 today with a 2060. Huge improvement

      My 1080ti Strix is still powering my dual 1440p 165hz setup quite well. I max out most of the games I play and run vr very smoothly too.

      [–]adh247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Wow, I bet your buddy is pumped! I'm still running a Nvidia Quadro K4000! I bet even a 960 would still be like running ten of the video card I have lol.

        I bought my EVGA 1080ti used from an individual crypto miner after the 2018 crash for like $450? It still had 2 years of warranty left and is still my daily driver at 1440p.

        Hell of a card.

        [–]gpburdell404i7-13700K | 3080 Ti | AW3423DW OLED 22 points23 points  (8 children)

        I bought my 1080 Ti for $700 almost 5 years ago and still works great at 1440p for most games.

        Though I just upgraded to ultrawide 1440p which is 25% more pixels so it's really time for a new card. Great timing with the recent nvidia price drop and will probably buy a 3080 this week. I'm tempted to wait for 4xxx series but don't want to take a chance that they aren't available for months after release.

        [–]spacemanTTC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

        Just sold my 1080ti for $250 to a young kid and got myself a SuprimX 3080. 4-5 years that card worked perfectly at 1440p, easily best value for money card of that era. So glad I waited for this price drop by NVIDIA though.

            I bought a buddy's 1080ti a couple years ago when he was upgrading, replaced my base-model 1080, which went in the wife's PC (replacing my old 690 in there). Still going strong, though I'm looking at 3080 cards now, because at this price, it's worth it, and I've got a new ultrawide that's begging to be pushed.

            EDIT: Sunuvabitch, first time I mention that old 1080 in a post and it craps out in my wife's PC the next day.

            Outstanding GPU. I bought one from someone on ebay and that thing shit it's pants after like 10 minutes (the dude obviously have been bitcoin mining it to death). You could use a 1080TI for even a couple more years.

              3060Ti is a big jump over a 3060. Now the 3070Ti and 3080Ti.. yea that's a different story

              [–]G_man252Desktop i7 8700k EVGA 2070 Super 8GB 16gb DDR4 RAM 95 points96 points  (7 children)

              At these prices, if I buy a 3090, the next time I play Cyber Punk Keanu Reeves better look at the screen and say ' G_Man252, we need you' and pull me into the game.

                  [–]SactownKorean 8 points9 points  (4 children)

                  3080 ti nah but yes to the 3070 ti for sure. I have one and its a really small increase in performance.

                  [–]Alternative_Spite_115800x| 32gb b die| 6700xt merc 319 7 points8 points  (3 children)

                  The 3060ti is a massive jump as well. Hell it’s not only a much larger die but also a 33% wider memory bus. Basically it should’ve been called “almost a 3070”. I already had a 3060ti but when the 3060 came out I had an opportunity to buy one barely over msrp but I had to grab it right then. I just assumed it would perform nearly the same as my ti and my sim rig also needed an upgrade. I was seriously disappointed, it was like 25% slower.

                      Got mine for half but I’m a dumb ass and got a prebuilt pc. I know I know but I’m happy to have even got it. The company I ordered from went bankrupt a month after I got it…I won’t say who but it’s pretty obvious

                            That's 100 under MSRP? I haven't seen 3080Tis drop and I don't expect them to.

                            I use mine for work and gaming so it's worth it to me for something that will easily last 5-10 years.

                            My 1080 was perfectly fine for now, but unreal5 games are going to break that card at uhd. 3080ti will easily handle them and after effects renders fast so win win.

                                    I paid AU$1500 for a 3070 (roughly 1k USD), not really bothered by it though since I’ve got to be using it all this time.

                                    Yup, was dumb and impatient since i needed to upgrade a few things quick. 900 for the 3060, but a little over 1k after tax and shipping.

                                      FE cards were mandatory to sell at MSRP.

                                      That's why BestBuy started doing borderline illegal shit like forcing you to join their Tech club for 300 dollars a year for the privilege of buying it at MSRP.

                                            $200 a year, and they did that for only like 3 of the drops at the beginning of this year.

                                            Plus it was returnable. I did that crap after I got an FE and a PS5 with them.

I used to use their credit card for daily purchases to get points and platinum elite Best Buy status. Immediately quit using the card and shopping there after that.

                                                Throw back to September-October 2020 where people are camping at nvidia discord to get them from nvidia website. That’s where I got mine, I believe it was one of the last couple of batches from nvidia directly.

                                                Ha! Camping the Nvidia discord and other random ones that got spun up Sept-Oct was such a stressful but oddly good time.

                                                Something about being in the presence of a bunch of strangers working towards the same goal was endearing.

                                                I was in an especially difficult spot since I had sold my 1080ti the day of the Nvidia event (yeah, I know.. such a terrible idea in hindsight). I was desperate enough that I camped MicroCenter a few times with no success. The discord was ultimately how I ended up getting my 3080 FE. I remember a bunch of people getting in on a big batch one night in utter disbelief that there were so many and the bots didn’t get them. It was kind of a bittersweet moment… finally getting my card but having to saying goodbye to the randoms on Discord lol.

                                                Didn’t go to the store but I remember the online feeling when pre-orders first went up for XSX (also PS5 but I was dumb and didn’t bug when I could , I was given the opportunity to pre-order a PS5 at MSRP smh).

                                                But hey I got my XSX pre-order in within 30 seconds of it releasing

                                                        It’s never been $1200 in Canada. It was just under $1000 at launch and now it’s $1029.

                                                        Yup, I got the 3070 FE literally last week for $679.99 though from Best Buy ($768.39 after tax). I think that's a pretty good middle ground.

                                                          They're surprised that Best buy would not price gouge people

                                                          True, but they did that for more than just the GPU though. That was also for PS5's and other large appliances that were hard to get to begin with and if you were in the market for more than just a gpu or just a ps5 it was def worth it in the end imo.

                                                          Edit: Also a better option to fight scalping/bots than nothing too.

                                                          And after paying $200 for the membership you still get told they don't have shit. Genius on their part.

                                                          I got the membership and scored a PS5, Xbox Series X, a 3080 FE, and a 3060 Ti FE for my nephew. I’ve also had an out of warranty gaming headset and a controller replaced for free. On top of that, I’ve saved about $80 on other exclusive discounts. TotalTech definitely isn’t worth it for most, but I don’t regret getting it.

                                                          Same. I love Best Buy and shop there a lot and it's nice getting random discounts on items and a 2 year warranty on everything I buy from them. Will I buy it again next year? Eh maybe if they add a few more perks, but it did help me land a 3080 and a ps5 so it was worth it this year.

I'm not American so maybe it's more common knowledge if you actually live in the US, but I had no idea until (Jayztwocentz? I think?) mentioned it in one of his recent videos and there were a lot of comments seemingly surprised by it too.

Crypto crashed and now, they are over allocated on 5nm wafers that they are contractually obligated to take or find another company that needs 5nm wafers.

                                                                      I have a feeling that 40 series cards will be easy to find in stock for MSRP at launch, or at least shortly after, unless crypto mining suddenly becomes profitable again.

                                                                      [–]likewut 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Literally 1k right now for 3080ti's from newegg and Amazon if yoy can find stock after yesterday. A freaking evga and msi suprim x for 1049! After 50 dollars off. Freaking incredible! Then you have 3090s going for 1200 to 1300 and then a 3090ti I saw a few for 1499. Like shits getting crazy now lol. But it's only for Amazon day and neweggs fantastech sale. So they will go back up in the next week or so through newegg for sure and Amazon I heard is done after today.

Nvidia and OEMs are worried that they will have 30xx cards sitting on shelves not selling and an oversupply of 40xx. A well known friend of EVGA did a video the other day basically imploring gamers to buy 30xx GPUs now with lots of EVGA sales pages and positive talk of GPUs saying how the prices are great now, if that wasn't a sponsored video I'll eat my hard drive. No one with a brain would buy a new 30xx card right now.
