Current GPU prices are going to dissuade a lot of people from building new PCs, at least that’s what I’m seeing in my surroundings…
I am really glad that by AM4 5800X + Nvidia 3080 system still performs very well. I wish I had a 5800X3D, but you can’t buy them anymore.
The AI bubble will have to burst in a big way before we can get GPUs for decent prices.
Yeah you don’t need a top of the line pc anymore. If people want to build a new pc either go a few generations old for your components or go second hand for some parts.
Is the 5700X3D not an opinion for you?
I play a lot of strategy games where single thread performance is key (many of the games I play go down to 10-20 FPS in the late game).
Honestly, would need do some more in-depth research around 5700X3D vs. 5800X, the problem is there aren’t too many benchmark for strategy games.
I would say it’s about 6-10% slower than the 5800X3D. Everything else is identical except the clock speeds
I hate scalpers
Finding one … in stock … is a near impossibility
Lots of cards are available. They just aren’t at MSRP
Make a decent product and people will buy it. What a complete surprise.
I’ll believe it when I see it
I mean, it’s pretty safe to say that they’ve got good incentive to do it to the best of their ability. Right now, the cards are selling for above MSRP because there isn’t enough supply. They aren’t making that money — it’s going to scalpers and such.
If they wanted to constrain supply to benefit, they’d increase the prices they’re charging.
Hmmmmmm… 🤔
Ommmmmm…
Really, meditate/hibernate for a few years before buying the current videocard. A generational lag behind will make your life easier.
This was me questioning their ability to do so, not considering buying one. Good advice though.
