Looking like a good year to upgrade my pc lol. Waiting to hear more on AMD’s new announcements for the year.
I have never regretted waiting longer to make a PC part purchase. I have regretted a bit when rushing them.
You need something else to think about. Money doesn’t expire and 100% you will be able to get it cheaper later on. Maybe even avoid some unknown problems which plagued the 2000 series at first, like bad cooler mounts or GPUs just dying on people.

yeh…I would wait for AMD’s announcements on October 8th and see if they have anything inspiring. that way you avoid buyers remorse. 
I know I know, you guys are right. I just need more zen and patience when it comes to the upcoming things. Also I got to understand that some of the new stocks of GPUs are going to sold out quickly, also the driver issues that needs some fixing as well. I will just wait and maybe even go to a move that I will remove PC related videos with high end specs. I think it is the envy in me that is playing.

Though to be honest, all I want right now would be the 3070 and if that sold out quickly as well (which I will not be surprised), then yeah waiting for AMD’s cards would be a good alternative in case they are able to compete with Nvidia’s cards in terms of performance to budget.
the 3070 is gonna bea more popular card than the 80 so dont expect to get it launch either I dont know if nvdia is gonna learn from tthe 3080 but at least there is a capcha this time lol
cross my fingers, hope to die, AMD has something worth to buy!
What’s your current card? One option is to pick up nicely discounted used card to hold you over for 3 months or until all the new stuff is out and available. You could then go and flip it later
Currently using an RX 580 which only has a 4GB capacity of VRAM. After getting a new card that is much better in performance and have higher VRAM, I will be giving this card to my little brother who is in need of an upgrade since the guy plays Valorant.
From what ive heard they have a card that CAN compete with the 3070 and they will all have more vram so technically be better for 4k gaming. But we shall see the only let down is the GPUS dont have a super power called DLSS which is basically what I would buy an Nvidia gpu for cos DLSS is soo fucking good.
I mean the 580 is still a highly capable card ngl. Probably stick with it until Next month or so. Unless its dying it still has some oophm.
I believe it when I see it (or leaked benchmarks).
Would be nice to see AMD in the high-end, their strength is definetly not in the brute force territory though.
For sure. I mean if they make a card that is faster than the 3070 with more vram its gonna be a really good card anyway. They dont have to compete with 3080-3090 I don’t think they will but there were some rumours saying they will but doubt that. They need to bring back faith in the GPU side and making a solid 3070 killer is the way to do it.
Only when they price it right.
TSMC 7nm is going to give them a power advantage over Nvidia this generation though.
Ah yes, the mythical “Titan Killer” (290x anyone?)
AMD in mid 2018 (IIRC, has been a while) was working out the kinks in software for multi-chip-gpus. That would enable them to do ZEN but with GPUs, have not heared anything about multi-die GPUs in a while though.
That would be awesome a ZEN like gpu but doubt it tho. Maybe RDNA3?
And yeah AMD with have a big efficency advantage over nvidia. A card that performs abit less than a 3070 but does just as good at 4k but with 2x less power draw. I think they could sell that easy.
Same. Game devs would have to optimize for it, but are being kept busy with gambling-mechanics…
And datacenters have multi-gpu, but with multiple GPUs in multiple servers…
Expect 20% power advantage at best. Knowing AMD, they will push their clocks too far murdering the efficency.

I’m not sure if AMD has designs on producing a top end card like the RTX 3090…but they have done a very good job of challenging every other price bracket with their wares.
I’m hoping they have a solid RX 6000 family with aggressive pricing to put pressure on Nvidia.
AMD had competitors for the 1070/2070 Nvidia cards. They were called Vega and Radeon 7 and they were utter shit if you looked at anything beyond FPS.
Like price, availability, thermals, noise, etc.
They were always able to compete with a x70 card or even x80. They just did it rather poorly.
If they can actually do it at a 300$ price(400 max), and the cards are not blowers, and people can actually buy them… we may see some real competition.
