Well if the shortage lasts in to 2022 then they should do well.
I have no idea holw long we will keep seeing current prices and availability. Could be another 2 years?
I'm not gonna ebay **** haha, Im close to a 3080 FTW3 hybrid and if that drops soon I'll just sell the 3080 black (with hybrid kit) at cost more or less.
Thanks man, eventually it comes around.
The vanilla Black wasnt my first choice but it will be fine I'm sure and I can always drop a EVGA hybrid kit on it or a waterblock if it's too warm/loud in my little Fractal case...
One of my notifies dropped today, so picked up a EVGA 3080 Black for $840 shipped to my house.
This was the first card I signed up for at release, 9-16-2020.
Should last me until next gen, 4K whatever FPS
What I find interesting is the built in ESS Sabre DAC, curious as to which chip that is?
Could sound ok if the analog stage can output a clean signal thru the Audio Out (headphone jack?), Hook up to an amp and off you go at least for 2.1.
"50 percent gain in efficiency over RDNA 2"
I'm no climate alarmist but millions upon millions of GPU's out there that suck power like mad might not be the best thing ever.
Probably unpopular view but would be nice to get more performance for less power draw.
