So news,
I want my nephew to enjoy VR and PC Gaming, so I sold my 3080.
I bought a 3070 for him (Gigabyte Gaming OC version), my mom said she'll pitch in half for it. Wish I could cover 100% but, gotta do what ya gotta do. Infant and family expenses and all.
Plus I have another nephew lol...
For me, I picked up a 2060 at the local shop for $400, so not bad to be honest. The rest of the money from the 3080 is going to the bank to wait for the mining dump coming soon (Profitability is dropping every day, miners will dump their cards soon, and they'll stop buying cards, this WILL have an impact on prices, shortage or not).
Now that I've seen how awful the 3080/Ti/3090 prices have become, I'm going to go AMD to replace the card.
The 3090 here in Japan is $3000 USD at retailers. The 3080 is $1800. The 6900XT is $1600. The 6800XT is $1450 and the 6800 is $1150. The 3070 is $1200.
All the comparisons of these cards are all over the place, I have no idea how they compare at the price, but I know I'm not paying 6900XT money + $200 for a 3080. The better RT performance can't be that much.
