Still too early for me to jump on the Radeon wagon considering the prices they're asking.
Kind of figured by the time they were readily available, they might have those things figured out. If not I will grab a 30 series, I’m all about running the best instead of brand [Reply]
My buddy was able to snag a 3090 but he isn't getting anywhere near the performance that they showed. He games on 4k so the cpu shouldn't matter much right? [Reply]

Yes, the CPU absolutely matters. You'll need a good CPU for pushing 4K gaming. It will definitely bottleneck that GPU's performance. [Reply]

Like Fish said, cpu bottleneck is a much-discussed issue with the 3090.
Here is a bottleneck calculator your buddy could use to see how his cpu/ graphics card combo will work together at different resolutions.

MC seems to get more stock than most other retailers.
Right before I bought mine my hookup there told me they get them 3 or 4 days a week if you want to camp out for a few hours to try to get one. I had no interest in that but they DO receive some every week. [Reply]

Thanks. For some reason there are no MCs in the Phoenix metro area. :-) [Reply]

Actually that's been there since yesterday. Went there in the afternoon, but they didn't have it. This is the 3rd time its happened. While I was there at the store browsing around no fewer than 3 other people came and asked the staff about it.
