Do you think Intel will improve the performance of the A770 series by competing with RTX 3060 TI? , According to the news Intel is preparing a big update of performance improvements to catch up with the RTX 3070, Do you think Arc A770 will surpass RTX 3060 TI? and then catch up with the RTX 3070 I ask
By the way, I'm wearing an Intel Arc A770, quality and price, the performance is lower, but the punctuality beats the RTX 3060 TI by a landslide. I'm wearing an i7-11700K and Arc A770, more than enough activated Resizable BAR
I got an used rx 3070 for 300 usd last year., I mostly play at 1080p. I'm absolutely happy with it, dont plan on upgrading in at least 4years.
Guys wtf is up with that intro music blowing out my ears and then your voices being SOOOOOO quiet in comparison?
Don't forget to LIKE the video
Speaking of using the 4 dimm slots i upgraded from 16gb to 32gb a couple years ago so yes some people do still use all 4, not to mention filling them up looks better in my opinion
I blame people who keep buying there products knowing they are massively over prised. Brands will allways fool u if u allow them to fool u then u are fool.
Let's not lie to ourselves – the GPU prices have NOTHING to do with economic factors and inflation. For 2 whole years manufacturers were used to miners buying their product in palets, straight out of the factory and what little product hit the stores, it was instantly sold out for ridiculous prices, because some people didn't have a choice. They generally needed a good dedicated GPU for their work, which they suddenly had to do from home. In most cases company is paying so no one cared about the prices. In just 1 month prices got higher than Snoop Dogg on a Friday night. So everyone got hooked on the new insane profit dope and they just can't go back to reason on their own will. We will have to keep voting with our wallets. Prices are just ridiculous.
As for the person with the GTX 1070 question – i am in the same boat here. All the games i play run with no problem at 144FPS with FSR on my 1440 g-sync monitor and GTX 1070. The ones i need more FPS are games which basically need top tier GPU like the 7900XTX/6950XT or the 4080. These are mostly racing sims and they get extremely GPU hungry in VR mode. Anything below that simply isn't worth the $1500+ sacrifice, because it can't perform close to acceptable in the scenario i wanna use it for. So why upgrading with $1500+ to have basically the same experience.
50% margin is insane! 10% is considered a good retail margin
Guys, just dont buy nVidia!
There are people who don't care about GPU appearance and then there are people buying the EK special edition water blocks. There definitely is a market for looks (although most cards look pretty much the same nowadays).
You would think Nvidia is making their 40 series cards out of eggs based on how expensive they are.
lol if gpu companies thought people weren't buying their gpu's now! Just hike them more. No one will buy them again.
Regarding the cost question, dont forget about wage increases for every person directly or indirectly involved with the design, production, marketing and distribution of the cards. Also we used to have two gpu makers more we have 3. Surely that would have driven up the cost of talent. Def won't be the whole story but will contribute.
The limited with all that VRAM is such an interesting card. Once Linus shares how well he was able to get VR working with ARC that'll decide whether one ends up in the HTPC
EDIT: video just dropped, Linus could not get VR games to play nicely with ARC. The HTPC keeps its RX 590 for now
People need to really show with closed wallets that the current new gen GPUs are not a good value for money
We already know the prices going up is about profit taking, it’s seen in the quarterly reports.
Also, the majority of inflation is caused by profit taking and not an overall rise in costs.
I’d argue the price increases are justified as it’s being driven my an increasingly inelastic demand. The companies exist to make profit, people willing to pay more raises the price levels.
Honestly it’s mainly consumers fault for willing to pay double the price for products.
I don't understand, why I should cap my framerates at 115 when the maximum fps my monitor can show is 120fps.
Where are the reviews of i5 13600 and i7 13700 CPUs if someone is planning to build pc on b660 are these good options and if yes then please release full review video for each of them
Intel a770 is contenter. Please don't ignore it.
Hi, could you review the mid level graphics cards with mid level CPUs to see how the Nvidia driver overhead affects these. If you buy an rtx 3060 you're not going to use an i9. So normal reviews are not what users are going to experience
I wanted a good looking card, PowerColor's 6900 XT Red Devil Limited Edition, and it also had the nice key caps that came with it. But my order was cancelled without notifying me, and I only noticed a month later 😑 Ended up with a more normal one from Asrock. And I had to pay more.
I dont believe that a 1070ti can output 144+ on a 1440p monitor on fortnite. Ive got a gtx 1080 and I only get about 60fps at 1440p
I had mixed DDR4 Dimms from Corsair and Crucial Ballistix, even 2 + 1 and had no problems runnning them on 3200
Nvidia wanted to sell us the "4080/12gb" for $900, and a few weeks ago they changed its name to 4070ti and dropped the price by $100. They are selling them at a loss now, it's 100% greed.
They probably could sell them for $500 and have a huge margin of profit.
You can't blame anyone bar the people who keep forking out no questions asked and continuously complain about the prices at the same time..
Actions speak louder than words in this case, and your words don't mean shit if you immediately open your wallet.
Put it this way. Prices won't go down until we vote with our wallet. Sometimes standing up for your principles involves sacrifice, and no-one seems to have the willpower to sacrifice buying a gpu at an incredibly inflated price.
They still complain non stop, but the words are silenced by their choice to keep spending.
lmao saw Tim flexing about something other than his monitors collection for the first time 😂
