The whole internet says hold... but, till when ?Not sure why they say wait.. Wait for what, the 4060? 4050? They're going to be a (very expensive) waste of silicone. The 4060 Ti exists solely to make you think the 4070 is a good deal, it's not.
I know **** about **** when it comes to PC parts and even I know waiting is the best option for this generation.Waiting on pc parts is a fools game.
Not to hijack this topic but I've been looking to upgrade my PC from a 970 and ryzen 3. Not to modern stuff, god no, but something last gen, maybe 2000 series. I've been out of the game for a bit tho so if anyone would love to share their opinion for an affordable cpu gpu combo that'd be naiiice.
That sounds very lopsided.
You're wanting a 6950xt, but pairing with a 1080p screen?
Beyond 75-100hz you start get diminishing returns, still better, just less and less better.
So unless you're playing CS, you're probably better off with 4k or 1440p@150hz than 1080@180hz.
It seems like a nice screen but I just can't help but think that you're going to regret going 1080.
the 6950xt is a great buy though you have to get a good psu because it uses a lot of power. i too would reccomend a higher resolution monitor but i can see the reason to get this oneThat sounds very lopsided.

This is the only monitor on the market with tune-able backlight strobe for adjusting pixel persistence for maximum motion clarity.
Its clarity performance is on par with the legendary sony fw900
thinking $450 6950xt + viewsonic-XG2431 $150ish on Blackfriday?You can find that right now on r/Hardwareswap - by Black Friday more than likely the higher end 6*** series will be out of cycle/stores (I hope not, since it is still making AMD moolah). Part of me is hoping to see a bigger dip in the 7900XT's pricing, since I am not buying into Nvidia's current price gouging practice.
I am hoping that my Ryzen 5 with 16GB will carry me through at least a few more years running Mint.it should just fine depends on which one it is. but 32gb is starting to be a standard now so i would consider upgrading (its not expensive)
I am hoping that my Ryzen 5 with 16GB will carry me through at least a few more years running Mint.In Linux it should be okay, but not great.
I thought about that but GPU sales are suuuuuper slow at the moment.thinking $450 6950xt + viewsonic-XG2431 $150ish on Blackfriday?You can find that right now on r/Hardwareswap - by Black Friday more than likely the higher end 6*** series will be out of cycle/stores (I hope not, since it is still making AMD moolah).

inventory to dump around the holidays.

Should make for plenty of inventory to dump around the holidays.
Why would they just sit on it for half a year?
Sorta unrelated, but I was thinking of building a new computer, do you think that there would be a price hike, similar to how crypto jacked up the priced of gpus in like 2020-2021. Cause I don't want to have pay a scummy scalper to actually get the parts I want. It's not one of the new GPU releases (Most likely it will be a RX 6800xt) but it's still recent enough to where I'm worried about that.The price hike already happened.
The price hike already happened.
Todays prices are scalper prices, they just cut out the middle man.
Sure a 4060 still costs $300 just like the last gen 60 series but really the 4070 should be the 4060.
Are you saying nvidia are the ones hiking the prices and that the 4070 are being purposely under-powered but still charging the price of a "upgraded version"Exactly that.

Nvidia is trying to get enterprise prices for consumer grade products.
Put the 4070 GPU onto a server pcb and they can get an extra $100-$200 for it.
Does AMD do this, cause I had no idea about this and don't want to be ripped off. I wasn't gonna buy nvidia anyway but that's so scummy.AMD always plays a bit off Nvidia, but nowhere near as scummy.
Why 32GB RAM is standard now? or becoming?
I thought my 16GB will be enough for years.

450 for a 6950xt seems a little ambitious..maybe it'll happen but maybe not? you might be better off finding a used unit, that way you can also cherry pick for coil whine. my 6900xt whines badly. I hate it. also, I feel like the viewsonic monitor has really high motion clarity but it's not a very beautiful display at all. low res and just really mid for everything except some super sweaty gaming. I feel like your average quality of life would be better using a more balanced monitor? I've been super impressed with the gigabyte m32u, which to me is an excellent high end all purpose display. I think maybe part of what I'm asking is are you really shopping use case here? I know what you're going for with this combo and I feel like it's a pretty niche use.

I've already seen 5 sold at that price on r/Hardwareswap
which games, present or upcoming really justifies investing in newer cards ?
hrrrrm... maybe we'll see 600-700 for xtx by BFriday.Yeah, I'm aiming for that time too. Time to let my 3070 go.
I'm thinking of buying a card for 2016-2018 era stuff. You know, 3-4 GB VRAM, DirectX 11 stuff.
Anyone know of affordable cards?

Also interested in seeing the 7800 offering from AMD since the 7600 is actually a promising offering for basic 1080p gaming/usage - Also the prices dropping on the 7900XT have been nice to see and I constantly watch r/HardwareSwap's, now, Discord market to see what pops up. I am still hunting for a steal on a 10900k/10850k or 11700k w/ z590 combo on there as well due to block compatibility issues with the newer gen (not spending $200+ on a new CPU waterblock).
Yes, the latency doesn't happen to everyone. But it seems to exist especially in the 12th generation. Maybe people aren't testing the overall coherence of their builds? I guess if you are building a new PC, it's either the older generation Intel powerhouses, or maybe some new powerful AMD processor like the Ryzen 7000.Some people simply don't experience latency the same as others. I'm quite sensitive to lag on the UI.
Keep your eyes open, Nvidia (and AMD to a lesser extent) has been having short notice sales on GPUs, even the new 4060, some more than 15% off.
I'm betting it's going to be a good Black Friday for GPUs... Finally.
Moore's law is dead, you're going to have to get over the 40-50% expectation, it's done. Same for CPUs.
I highly doubt 50 series is going to be a return to that, it's a tech limitation. Maaaaybe they'll pull a rabbit out of their hat one last time but those days are pretty much over. We need a technological leap or massive change to how we compute to really improve computers as a whole at this point.
It means more and more diminishing returns.Moore's law is dead, you're going to have to get over the 40-50% expectation, it's done. Same for CPUs.

Does it mean its dead end now? We wont get any faster GPUs? Shrinking dies has come to an end. They need new technology to get it better now?
