PS5 prices are scalped to hell and back, but are they raising the price of the PS5? Why the double standard?
Yea and it just means if some crypto miner was desperate then MicroCenter would bank. Seriously, fuck MicroCenter.
Nvidia is giving the new cards to the miners by the pallet loads. As I said, Nvidia gives the miners first crack at the new cards. Screw everyone else.
Hey now. You take that fucking back. Don't you bad mouth MC.
I mean new voodoo cards using recycled chips are still being freshly made. Look up the stoned shaman.
Honestly look at the Dell G5’s, I’ve had friends and family in desperate need for new gaming PC’s, you might have a 4-6 week lead time but you can get something good. And after looking at dells prices and comparing them against new egg, the Dell was cheaper.
Fully built Dell G5 with a 10700 and a 3070 going for less than I can buy a 3070 on eBay for right now.
Shhh... don't let the scalpers know about this.

Thanks for the heads up. I was trying to build a computer and I found it a bit peculiar what is going on. lol
And enough RGB that you're guaranteed to die of cancer before you can regret the purchase. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I paid $430 for a brand-new EVGA 1080 Ti in Summer 2019 (I had been planning on picking up a Radeon 5700 XT at the time as an upgrade from my GTX 970). It's been handling 1440p gaming really dang well. I'll continue to coast along with it until the PC market returns to sanity.
A few more months and they'll bring back the 970 GTX line...then I'll be cutting edge again.
This is not what one would call "progress".
I agree with your sentiment, but as a previous owner of a 960 4GB, a 1050ti is a straight up side grade. As was my 670 to the 960.
At this point we need Intel to come out and compete because neither AMD or Nvidia are going to produce more to lower prices. Lowering prices is not the business they're in. Making a 3050 or 3050 Ti would make sense but Nvidia's production is at max capacity as is. Even AMD has issues with both Sony and Microsoft wanting the manufacturing capacity to themselves. We need Intel to come out with GPU's that isn't from TSMC, because everyone wants to use TSMC for manufacturing.
Already answered up thread; but a notional 3050 design (even money one exists) would also be built on the same Samsung 8nm process as all the other cards we can't get. Splitting their limited supply of those wafers even more ways wouldn't help. The zombie 1050 and 2060 are on older processes that don't compete with what newer cards need.
The RTX 2060 should have been the replacement for the 1050Ti since that can be made with an older manufacturing process as well. Is anyone using 12nm for anything? The consequences for Nvidia manufacturing older tech like the 1050 Ti will has consequences for owners of RTX graphic cards. This is basically the Geforce 4 MX all over again. Ray-Tracing won't be often included in new games unless paid by Nvidia otherwise. It's feature that most people won't have access to for years to come. While the RTX 2060 isn't a Ray-Tracing powerhouse, it is still able to do it with DLSS and low settings. This is why I'm not upgrading my hardware because I know this GPU shortage is going to screw with system requirements for years to come.
Those are being made as well I am pretty sure:
Yea but it isn't being sold for $200 like the 1050 Ti. Which is sad that I'm saying the 1050 Ti is $200.
excellent point about Ray tracing- this will kick it down the road another 2-3 generations given typical upgrade cycles.
How long is EVGA'S warranty period if I may ask? I've just been sitting with my EVGA 1070 Ti FTW2 sitting on my desk for the past 2 months after a friend somehow shorted it out trying to take a picture of his knife in my PC case on top of the card 🤦♂️ but that would be awesome if I could get it fixed.
AMD could still take the market as the 6800's had no chance of market penetration with prices at $570+. There's a reason why the GTX 1060 and 1050 Ti are the two most popular GPU's bought. They're simply cheaper and they work. If AMD is able to make the 6600 or 6700's cheaper and mass produce them like crazy then AMD could sitll dominate in this current market. The 6600 doesn't have to be made with 7nm, as that manufacturing process is dominated by everything right now. It sucks to use 12nm to make a RDNA2 graphics card but there's no way in hell AMD can produce them with 7nm with the current demand we're seeing. The only reason Nvidia is making 1050 Ti's is because the 14nm manufacturing is available and Nvidia doesn't feel like spending money on turning Ampere into 14nm cheap GPU's. Any GPU is better than no GPU at the moment.
Hit the website with your serial number and find out. It's the only way to be sure. I bought a used 1080Ti here a couple of years ago and transferred the warranty online. However, it's up to your morals if it is still under warranty seeing as how you fried it.
Yea and you can't even get AMD cards anywhere near MSRP. They are worst value now then Nvidia when you see 6800s go nearly for 3080 prices and 6800xt for over 1k at MC. That is if you can ever find stock.
Well, it'll delay the adoption of ray tracing for PC games, at least... not necessarily game consoles. Not that PS5 and Xbox Series X supplies aren't also constrained — it's just that devs can target ray tracing on those systems right away where PC developers will have to wait until there are enough people with RT-capable GPUs to build games around the technology.
Apparently it's 3 years from when it leaves the factory.
They also offer a 4y and a 7y extended warranty when you register with Evga, the cost depends on the card. I paid $40 for an extra 7yrs on top of my 3yrs for my 2060.
