Wow can’t wait to get an RTX 3060 for $624.99 from best buy https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-12gb-xlr8-gaming-revel-epic-x-rgb-single-fan-graphics-card/6454318.p?skuId=6454318 Can I invest in GPUs instead of stocks somehow

Nvidia was at $570 when they announced the Ampere GeForce cards so it's not like the stock is being boosted by the current demand crunch

Can't I pay with my life force directly instead of expending it in this elaborate buying ritual?

OhFunny posted:To throw another stick on the pile: Samsung, TSMC chip production at risk amid water shortages NVIDIA's chips are mostly (apart from enterprise) produced at Samsung's newer lines in South Korea,. S2 fab is listed on wikipedia as producing "Microprocessors, FDSOI, Foundry, NAND", not even GDDR is listed, so maybe apart from worsening the generalized situation for things like VRM circuitry this isn't going to have much impact on NVIDIA. Bad news for AMD though.

The CMPs are using Turing silicon so at least they're not using up NVs 8nm fab allocation https://twitter.com/VideoCardz/status/1364931822333870083?s=19

Incredible that all of these 10bn+ chip fab facilities are completely dependent on climate change not happening, truly a chefs kiss moment for humanity and the perfect encapsulation of how capitalism has destroyed us. We're shipping in water to keep making the chips that power the trash that is causing water shortages.

Ghost of RBG posted:If I have a 1070 should I even bother “upgrading”? The 3060 trades blows with a 2060 Super. Unless you really want DLSS and entry-level raytracing I would hold off, because you're unlikely to see more than 33% faster performance in general. And that may be optimistic.

Will the continuing availability/pricing problems for GPUs will have an effect on the graphics features being targeted by current in-production games? It's not just RTX, studios will probably continue to target an older gen of base hardware performance for a year or two longer than they would have even though the 30xx and 60xx cards exist. Consoles may be the high-end PCs for the next couple of years, in terms of perf targets. I got back home to my PC after 2 months away thinking that *now* is when I'll run that bot and snag that 3080. But after firing up CP 2077 again and still being happy with its performance for my needs on this OCed 5700, I didn't do any of that. The current GPU availability logjam is probably going to extend that 5700's life by a year or two I would think ... whether I want it to or not.

v1ld posted:Will the continuing availability/pricing problems for GPUs will have an effect on the graphics features being targeted by current in-production games? Graphical fidelity in games seems mostly driven by console hardware generations - and this console generation is just as screwed, if not more, than the GPU market. I think most games are going to be optimized for lower end hardware for quite a while yet. Oh, and COVID has set back game development way more than a lot of people realise, and we're only going to see the real effects of that over the next few years.

My wallet is very thankful for the 3060 benchmarks being extremely unimpressive so I can wait a bit longer before going rabid to upgrade my 1060.

Yeah, I can't help but think nVidia made a huge deal out of the hash nerf to shape the narrative and mask the fact that you have to OC a 3060 to get 2060S performance. When the real story should've been "the x60 shouldn't be seen as the 'good value' part anymore, but the 'you can eat stale cake' part."

Yeah, if anything this is just making it easier to put a little more money away and save up for 3080.

That's a really good point. The crunchers will have been more heavily impacted than orgs with healthier, sustainable dev practices by Covid work from home.

On the plus side, the more COVID sets back game development timelines, the longer you'll get value out of your 30-series GPU*! * with apologies to those who still can't get one.

reBAR/SAM only available to Zen 3 and Intel 10/11 for the time being. https://twitter.com/VideoCardz/status/1364946924219076611 It seems like a great feature, but adoption is gonna be a mess.

For me its the gap between the 3060 & the consoles more than anything else, especially at the inflated price points. To be well behind them (yeah yeah DLSS) and in so expensively just doesn't really make sense to me.

I actually feel really good about my decision to go in on a 3060Ti in December instead of my original plan of "eh, stretch out the RX 580 to next year, pick up a 3060 or even a 3050 when it comes out" given A. what's happened to the market and B. how much farther behind the 3060 is
