As a 970 owner waiting to upgrade... I feel this post in the depths of my bones.

I'm planning on making a new build based around a 3080 and upgrading to 1440p with all the bells and whistles, and coming from a 770 I'm pretty sure my head's going to explode

I remember that Nvidia did this cross promotion in the early 2000s where they got game characters to "sing" in werid music videos generated by Geforce graphics. I remember that there was a evanescence song with bloodrayne singing in it with a npc playing a guitar for Bloodrayne 2. There was another one where Leisure Suit Larry was the lead singer in a band with a backup band of various game characters. There was some weird clause in the contract with developers who took Nvidia's money that Nvidia had all the rights to use their engines and assets for marketing purposes.

I don't even know how to find it because every-time I look it up, it keeps linking back to Disney's G-Force soundtrack and some kid's band called G-Force.

gently caress I remember that, I distinctly recall some pop-punk song being played by Tribes characters.

What the hell, they have five different 3090s?

I'm just curious if a 3080 will be overkill for 1440p/144hz, although I'll justify it as future-proofing if it is (I know future-proofing is a bad idea)

Now that I have an idea of what GPU I want I need AMD and Intel to hurry up with their CPUs, I'm getting antsy to get my new build going :dogcited:

If either my aging 770/4670k setup or civilization as we know it eats poo poo before I get my hands on a new 3080 rig I'll be pretty bummed

Does anyone have a good example of per-object motion blur? I've only ever seen motion blur be an ugly mess so I'm really curious to see what good motion blur looks like.

That's a different company. Fry's Electronics is the one that's a moldering corpse.

I went to my local Fry's recently and holy gently caress it's worse than I thought it'd be, literally only a fourth of the sales floor was even being used and what was still being used was picked over and bare. I was looking for a new gaming mouse and they had like five or six left in the building. I used to love going there :negative:

I'm considering sticking to my Define R4 for now to save a few bucks on my new build, I was thinking of something mesh front and mATX (Meshify Mini C, perhaps) but a 1440p monitor and a 3080 are looking a bit pricey

Why the gently caress does that dude have a Blockbuster case in his hand? If the other guy didn't have a mask on I'd call that a fake.

Pretty sure that's a phone case

Has people camping out for GPUs ever been a thing before? I've only really been into PC building since the GTX 7xx series, I never figured I'd see people camp out for computer parts

Of course, I shoulda figured. Camping out for a 20 series seems hilarious in hindsight

I was hearing stories about some folks at Micro Centers being offered 500+ bucks for their spot in line for the 3090 launch.

When Wiis were impossible to get my local Circuit City (rip) was handing out paper slips to people in line and my buddy sold his to a guy for $200

The new CoD having RTX and DlSS seems like it might be a big deal as well

Also I'm wondering how much the 3060s bringing both those features for (relatively) cheap will change the things

I know this is usually a crapshoot but any educated guesses on whether it's better to get a new build now that availability and prices are back down to Earth or wait for Zen 4, RTX 40 stuff later this year? I'm leaning towards waiting but if the new parts make the prices go insane again I'm gonna drive off a cliff
