2 years ago everyone was losing their minds over how cheap the 3000 series RTX card are given their performance

2 years ago everyone was losing their minds over how cheap the 3000 series RTX card are given their performance.
Today we're being told that, even if you buy them at their original price at release, they aren't worth the money.
Consoom fags are the worst thing to happen to tech.

Yes, everyone went through a bout of profound retardation and simply ate up the marketing and sucked NVIDIA's cock regarding claims about performance leaps when Ampere is 40-50% faster than Turing at 100W+ extra power consumption which is just mediocre as fuck in the best case. 3090 and 3090 Ti are LESS efficient than a 2080 Ti which is just laughable.

You're not going to be able to get the 4000 series cards until the 5000 series launch anyway, and you won't be able to get those until the 6000 series launch.

OMG 100W!??????
NO WAY DUDE THATS LIKE A FUCKING LIGHT BULB!!!!!!
HOLY FUCK SO MUCH EXTRA ENERGY

retard. the 3000 series were cheap given their performance 2 years ago now they are dogshit outdated and expensive.

I don't see the issue. If you'd happily buy a 3080 at MSRP you'd also happily buy a 4080 at MSRP. 70-90 of the 4000 are going to come out first. Splashing serious cash on these three right now is probably not that wise or at least it's smarter to buy a cheaper mid-tier card that'll see a replacement only next year. Still though, if you NEED a card right now then it doesn't matter at all and you'll buy regardless.

Yeah, I know what you mean.
Don't upgrade your GPU for another 10 years at least, unless you enjoy being scammed.

>RTX 3xxx finally available at slightly below MSRP
>Nooo don't buy it, it is a mistake! Just wait for the next gen for the gains
Mixed feelings on that, supply in 6 months and more is still about gambling. Despite that, a price crash in a few week/months is more than plausible especially if recession is confirmed. So maybe wait a little more.
People would just stop buying GPUs, mining will be nowhere profitable in the next 6 months. Then AMD/NVIDIA will obviously try to gouge production on the next gen, but seeing there won't be buyers, they will all be brought down.

>>>lightbulb

on every other release, prices are significantly below MSRP after 2 years. MSRP right now is way too expensive.

>outdated
By what technology?

They're toys so do something else and wait for the recession (recessions habben every few years). If you're poor enough to care what a toy costs, play with something different and bide your time.

>at slightly below MSRP
???

Nobody said this.
It had great performance/$ compared to the 2000 series, not in general. The 2000 series were just an incredible letdown (from the consumer's perspective.)

It's stupid advice. The next gen is getting launched in phases:
4090 in August-Sept
4080 in Oct-Nov
4070 annouced by Christmas, but probably not in hands until 2023
4060 sometime 2023Q1/Q2?

Basically, the mainstream cards are still almost a year away, and there's no guarantee that they'll actually be available now that Nvidia has to fight for capacity at the world's busiest fab (TSMC Republic of China).

There's also rumours that Nvidia is going to sell the 3000 series alongside the 4000 series. They demoed that this gen by re-releasing the 2060-12GB and it was a big success, so expect them to expand that type of thing.

The entire 3000 series can play 1440p a max settings, and with DLSS even the 3060ti can put up decent performance at 4K. The only perforance worth waiting for in the 4000 series is higher native performance and better RTX.

Buy a $800 3080 now or wait a year to pay $800 for a 4070? There's really nothing to wait for.

>cutting edge GPU from less than 2 years ago is outdated
tech consoomers on this board and Any Forums get progressively worse every passing year. you make the macfags look downright pleasant in comparison

Ah yeah PCGamer "journalism" can't forsee that 4000 isn't gonna be any cheaper.

The 40 series cards aren't even out to call it outdated lmao

>Ampere is 40-50% faster than Turing at 100W+ extra power consumption
40~50% faster at 100W+ extra power consumption is a very worthy trade imo, imagine if you could get a 50% faster 5950X that consumed ~220W in full load. Not a bad deal imo.

I am no expert, but AFAIU the current crypto crash might make cards cheaper... but otoh, production issues and the fact that even fucking cars are now competing against tech companies for chip factories right when there have been huge supply issues in all industries might complicate things

>outdated
5 year old cards were selling like hot cakes not even months ago.

It’s not about “consoooming”, it’s about getting your money’s worth. The consoom meme isn’t about people buying things. It’s about buying for the sake of buying, replacing hobbies with purchases. Replacing a personality with media. This is just informed purchasing of a product that fits your needs. Fucking Any Forums addled idiot, kill yourself.

Nobody has been crypto mining with GPUs for like 3 years now. The GPU market prices were purely related to supply chain shortages
