They are already dropping, and it does have some to do with crypto. Now to be fair over last two years miners have been moving off GPUs to more cost effective hardware.
But I assume the real drop is coming from demand. I believe the demand curb has nose dived over last 12 months.
You can get 1,200 cards for like 700 right now [Reply]
Im a dumbass and I think i need the best shit all the time. Bought a 4090 and only got 700 for my 3090, and I expect them to keep falling. If your a bargain hunter, current market is great for you [Reply]
Maybe this is a better question... I have about $650 in Amazon gift cards... what is the best card you would/could buy at that price point. I would also be willing to add a little to that if it was worth it. [Reply]

Where are you getting a 4070 ti for $650? 4070 ti is a failed 4080 that was overpriced and underperformed so they changed the name to 4070 ti and took a hundred dollars off and acted like it was value, and its still $800 minimum....
Is the card I'm keeping my eye on. I just dont see the value in Nvidia right now unless you really really really want the best ray tracing you can possibly get. [Reply]

I would maybe consider this but my monitors are gsync which is not compatable with freesync or so I am told. I am not looking to upgrade my monitors at this point but down the road possibly. Just too much of an expense for both right now. [Reply]

An AMD card will work just fine with a G-sync monitor. If it's a true G-sync monitor and not just a "G-sync compatible" monitor, you just lose out on variable refresh rate. If you care about that then I guess Nvidia is your only option, but do you? [Reply]

He said he would be willing to add a little.
And it doesn't matter what it was labeled originally. All that matters is the performance. I bought my 2080 for basically $800 when it first came out. The 4070ti is MASSIVE upgrade at the same price point.

Not sure why you're so outraged.
No one is outraged. The 40 series Nvidia cards are dogshit value. Every single one of them is like $200 overpriced. Even the last gen 30 series models are still overpriced and going up in price because the 40 series is selling at like a 20 year low for Nvidia.
You think the 6800 XT is trash. A card that trades blows with a 3080 is trash... for $500-550 dollars in todays market... trash...
If you want raytracing and absolutely need Nvidia to pair with your monitor, then ya, sure, go get Nvidia. That's like 10% of the gaming market. [Reply]
I had a couple of extra laptops and a decent tower setup that I was planning on getting rid of anyways so I am getting them all reset and going to sell them for a little extra cash. I went ahead and got the 4070 TI... this one specifically https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I didn't want to spend that much and actually looked at the 3070 TI after the 4070 TI was mentioned but the benchmarks between the two I couldn't pass up the 4070 TI for $200 more dollars. [Reply]

Enjoy your 95th percentile PC, man. They keep improving their drivers and DLSS 3 so your performance will only get better. [Reply]
Not to bicker, but nobody that's capable of running ray tracing is turning that shit off. Ray tracing is gorgeous and creates a completely new level of in game immersion. The AMD cards are good cards. But I've been fortunate enough to see a direct comparison of high end AMD/NVidia cards in the same machine, and the NVidia simply looks better. Ray tracing and DLSS is a really amazing technology. Combine that with a high refresh rate monitor capable of G-Sync, that's about the best you can get. AMD is quite a ways behind in the ray tracing capabilities. Not trying to poo poo on the AMD cards. They are really powerful cards. [Reply]
