I don't think Intel is in that bad of a position myself. They could always ditch their ridiculously lame iGPUs and 99% of buyers of a 2060+ cards would love it because it would allow them to release chips with a lot more cores and/or higher speeds. On the 8700K/9700K the GPU accounts for something like 33% of the transistor count which is essentially worthless to a lot of people.

Hadn't even factored that in. If AMD releases a week after Cyberpunk comes out, they're fucked. No one is gonna wait for the new AMD card if their current card struggles with it. They're probably already losing all the potential customers who need a new card for SW Squadrons as it is. Anything else that might be somewhat demanding about to be released?

Everything will be sold out and completely backordered at this point.

Looking on reddit the prices for used 1080's are already dropping like a rock.

I just took a look at Reddit prices aaaand are these motherfuckers serious?


$400 for a used 2080? $400 for a used card that will be obliterated by the $500 3070? Do people have such low confidence in the ability to get a 30X0 card that people are able to get away with this pricing?

Some people are just completely out of the loop.

It isn't surprising that people would be willing to ask that, only that people are responding and not calling him out for it.

Well there's an announcement at the top of the subreddit page saying no "price policing" which I would assume means blasting them for their retarded asking prices.

People still try to sell something like a 980 for $300 (and they still sell on occasion) so those prices don't surprise me at all

I'm still using an antiquated 980 on my gaming pc, glad I waited until this cycle of cards. I'll be upgrading to a 3080 day one.

I wonder if it will even be worth trying to sell my 1080ti or if I should just use it for my bedroom pc that only plays media. My, how the mighty have fallen

Yeah, I'm still rocking a 1060, but this winter is going to be a full rebuild. I realize computer building has gotten a million times "easier" now, but messing with jumpers, cmos, etc. has me seriously fucking traumatized when it comes to building PCs.

Don't know if everyone is building a new PC and getting ready or normally goes out of stock like this. AMD 3600 and 3600X out of stock until late September or mid October now.

Scratch that, only out of stock at Amazon.

In my situation friend PC is literally on its last leg so i built a 3900x for her because her video card died - She has an i7 860 from like 11 years ago or so and was using a 970 - so even this upgrade will keep her going for like another 4-5 years and can upgrade if ever the need - but considering shes been using a 970 and 60hz panel im sure she will be content and shocked by something more recent.

Things have been in/out of stock all over the place. Amazon has had spotty availability before Covid. I had to order things from different places back in December 2019 because Amazon didn't have them in stock or at all.

BH Photo carries PC components, check there, too.
