Read a techpwup article saying that gtx overstock is at full blown crisis levels and that board partners are upset and demanding assistance selling stock with incentives and demanding the 4000 series release be pushed back farther or that they may not take orders.


They were estimating 3080 at 499 was necessary to move stock in time.

They may just have to accept that things were great for awhile and they over extended themselves. They need to get over it

Anyone know how this would compare to the PowerColor one available at micro center for the same price? Not just performance but also noise, stability, reliability, etc. Thanks in advance!

PowerColor has historically been a lower-end brand, that has only more recently become available in the US, so feedback will probably be lacking here because of that. XFX has had some issues here and there, but I think people like their products in general. The truth is that they are probably made in the same Foxconn factory or right down the street. There's no meaningful publicly available data on reliability of video cards.

Powercolor has been around for over a decade, I still have an r9 290x and 7950 that work fine.. just really outdated

The XFX would be better imo, the Powercolor looks to be one of their cheaper variants.

Reliability won't be much of an issue with any brand, the chip will likely be a lower bin since it's a cheaper model, meaning it won't overclock the greatest and might consume a little more power than a better model.

Doesn't come with free games like other offers. Even if you don't want the games, it's still 2 AAA games and you can still make back at least $50 flipping them.

I'm curious what others here think, but having watched the market pretty carefully for the past few months, this could be true for the 8 and 9 tier cards. You are already seeing big discounts from both brands on these cards. It is definitely not true for Nvidia 3600 ti and below. These cards are still selling well above MSRP and routinely go out of stock at their current prices. The next gen of these cards seems to be at least 6 months out. For those of us hoping to buy a card with decent price/performance the best hope seems to be that discounts on the higher tier cards will pull demand away from the 6 and 7 series and allow those prices to come down.

It's completely artificial, they have so much stock and they really need to move the higher end cards. People are hesitant to buy a 3080 and risk having it get trounced by a 4060 and it having no resale value when they want to upgrade.

XX60 card has always been the bestselling card every generation. Good deals and availability on a 3060 ti would bring sales of everything else to a screeching halt.


The 3050 for 420 dollars is listed front page on Newegg as a bestseller everyday.

It's a sales tactic to make the 3070 at 500 and 3080 at 750 look really good and has no connection with value, availability, or reality.

To better answer your question. August 24th is q2 earnings report so I would wait at least a few weeks. Thier will probably be some hot deals in August.

Q3 report will be on the 15th of November and that will be the real bloodbath. This November will be an exceptional time to build a PC.

Feeling confident enough in that to short some Nvidia stock even though it's already down 40 percent.

ok this is strait up good. wow. this is actually totally sensible. It's the first gpu deal i'd consider. this is going to make ti super difficult for intel. I wonder how much this plays into that.

It's a broad base market correction with a lot of factors at play.

The professional opinion of investors is currently that there will be a downtrend in MSRP for most computer hardware over the coming years.

Prices being too high hurts profits if the market won't support it and enough people are not buying.

Some investors see a downtrend all the way back to original gtx 10 series MSRP.

To get enough people to upgrade every new generation and for maximum sales and profit.

AMD and Nvidia stock both took close to a 50 percent hit and are not expected to recover much.

$300 in 2022 for 1080p is hardly fire sale, considering its barely faster than an 8 year old 980, best to wait.

No, that is completely wrong. The RX6600 is WAY faster than the GTX980 - at least TWICE as fast.

The RX6600 is about 37% faster (1.37x) than a GTX1660 Ti.
The GTX1660 Ti is about 52% faster (1.52x) than a GTX1060.
The GTX1060 is roughly equal to a GTX980.
That means the RX6600 is about 108% faster (2.08x) the GTX980.

1.37 x 1.52 = 2.0824

The RX6600 is literally slightly over TWICE as fast as the GTX980.

See Techpowerup relative performance charts for numbers and calculations:
