Yeah. This is less than the 1100 my friend paid for 3080ti. Great price because Nvidia will delay the 4000 until they rid themselves off 3000s.
They can't afford too, so far new cards will still get released Q4 this year.

Wow you have seen the Real specs on the 4000 series cards already!?! Care to share where?

Or are you going off of rumors and hype that precedes every new GPU launch nd usually leaves us disappointed??

The 5070 will be Sick!
You're one of the many spewing self righteous sarcastic junk for months when I've criticized their precious GPU deal. I understand not wanting to feel like you've been ripped off, but it's amazing to see people attacking facts as they are unfolding.

Meanwhile, back in reality, everything I've been saying about the GPU market and price crashes happening, has happened and is continuing...because logic isn't emotional.

It isn't just rumors and hype. The lithography is shrinking to 4N, which will push transistor densities off the charts. The 2XXX was 12nm, the 3XXX was 8nm, die sizes of 445mm^2 and 392mm^2, and transistor counts at 10.8B and 17.4B respectively. So, with around 61% more transistors at around the same die size, the RTX 3070 is around 45% faster. So 45% performance improvement with a 33% reduction in the lithography size at the same die size.

We could delve into mathematical extrapolations for pages, but if a 33% lithography improvement brought 61% more transistors and 45% higher performance, a larger lithography reduction would bring larger percentage increases in both all else equal. Even if the die size were smaller, it could still have higher transistor and performance percentage advantages than the 3070 to 2070 comparison, and transistor counts are still the main factor with standard rendering performance.

If the 4070 is equal to or faster than 45% above the 3070, then now we're around 3080 Ti performance. It's being estimated around 3090 performance, which when considered in light of the aforementioned, nearly every major tech source leak, increased AMD competition, and a crashing market that would demand a significant improvement to keep sales numbers and revenues reasonable, it's not only reasonable but probable that the 4070 will be near or at 3090 performance.

I would highly recommend not getting a 3090, spend the extra $200 and get the 3090ti. The 3090 has memory chips on both sides of the card. I had to watercool my 3090, the memory on the back was hitting 105c under heavy load. I repasted,, tried heatsinks, no luck. Finally got a dual sided waterblock which worked. Nvidia uses newer memory on the ti and it has all of it on the GPU chip side. Cools much better. I've seen many 3090 owners that said they didn't have the overheating memory issues. But not worth the now small difference in price. IMO.
Interesting, I have the EVGA 3090 and have no heat issues at all

Not only is this information wrong, but 4090 is the only card rumored to be releasee this year. The next card after that will be the 4080 and the 4070 later. If you can wait 6 months, then no point reading this thread.

Wait for 40series! They sell over $1000 originally to gain profits from miners. Don't fall for this crap!

It's cute people seem to forget AMD exists. Rumors are floating around NV has already started buying back stock from partners which makes sense since they can't sit on 40 series less RDNA3 steals the show.

$20 for thermal pads, a cheap heat sink and a fan off Amazon keeps this exact card vram under 70c lol right on the back plate

5 months(early 2023) vs 3 years(late 2025) from now. We're all here because the site is called "slickdeals" not blow your dough.

Also why are people still acting like supply is an issue? By the time the 40 series debut there will still be the 30 series. It will not dry up over night and disappear. The pandemic is over! Nvidia got ahead of themselves and have ordered too many chips from Samsung for the 30 series and 40 series from TSMC. This time around plenty of supply will be available at retail (Bestbuy, Micro, etc) so you won't have to deal with bots and scalpers. Chinese miners will not have first dip on GPUs or care for that matter. People are not stuck at home and Miners are moving on to ASIC. Get it if you need it otherwise wait it out. In this day and age very few people have only 1 machine. There is no FOMO here folks. AMD 6900 xt is $699 and now Nvidia rtx 3090 is $999. What does that tell you about pressure and price?

Same here.....FTW Ultra 3090, I think the hottest I've seen any sensor get is 78*. Everything else is under that, with the actual processor around 75* under a standard 4k gaming load. Granted, EVGA makes a pretty good cooler, but still, these temps don't point to some inherent design flaw.....

One thing we do know is that Nvidia felt the pressure of AMD going to a chiplet design. Originally the 4000 series was going to be an Ampere refresh, but now we shall see what they reworked. In other words the Radeon RX 7000 cards are going to be very competitive just like the 6000 cards have turned out to be.

If there's one video card I will literally never own, its this one. 3080 with a 4ft tinfoil spoiler strapped to the back of it. For the love of god check benchmarks before buying this. No criticism of folks who bought it when it was the only card remotely available, but its a big joke now.

Odd I see "Mathematcal Extrapolations" I see "Estimations" I see "Tech source leaked"

I see people falling for the marketing hype all over again and not using common sense to evaluate what they actually need.
Save your money and get what you need/want 95% of us truly have ZERO use for a 3090 or a 3090TI.

Letting yourself be easily manipulated by fake, unknown, estimated extrapolation is just plain silly. It's your money though do what you want.

I'm sure scalpers are salivating over you right now to scoop up every last 40 series card, and NewEgg is looking at its trash pile waiting to start its SHUFFLE again because gullible people are getting hyped up and have to have the latest and greatest on day 1 instead of waiting for reviews and seeing what they actually need.

My Strix had no such luck. Pads, heatsinks, even a fan. Helped a little, but not enough.
