The 'Look, I just bought' thread

Plenty of 3070's and 3090's here in Australia. Just cant get a 3080 !!

I bet they aren't going cheap

Weird situation. A German computer magazine has been introducing a hundred (I guess) custom design RTX 3080 gpus but I have almost never seen any of them being sold at all. I wonder whether all the well-known companies produce any graphics cards at all and furthermore, if they do then which way do these graphics cards go? So far I never saw a Radeon 6xxx that you could buy right away. Never in three months.

If they were producing as many gpus as they did with most other series before then I would say that even with an extremely high interest at release day it should be evened out by now.

Between Covid shutting people in and the cryptocurrency mining boom, I would not be surprised if demand was/is tripple what manufacturers were expecting.

The long lead time between contracting wafer allocation and actually having products on shelves makes quick reactions to market changes unlikely too.

I don't think anyone saw this coming in time to make production increases that had a chance of making a dent in demand.

Yeah it seems very pricey, i thought they where around $900 but seems they should be closer to $700 AUD.



Sorry that got crushed in resolution for some reason.

ill stick with my 1080 graphics card until prices come back down

1080ti is good enough for me

1080ti is good enough for me

the only problem is that Forza motorsport 8 is going to be recommended 1070 and forza games arent normally the most graphics card demanding so any other games like say a PC4 would maybe be out of my reach

but i dont plan on buying any other games this year other than Forza 8 and maybe F1 2021 havent decided on the f1 yet depends if there is any big changes to it or changes that i deem to be big enough to buy another one instead of waiting for 2022

I bought me some blood, sugar, sex and magik. A bit late to the party, I know, but you know the saying: better late than never.

You can get an overpriced 3090 in Germany, but you mustn´t be picky with brand and/or type. That´s what I did as I was completely fed up with waiting. Now I have a Palit, which I never considered buying before.

How does the saying go?

My internet sucks so I won't post pics but I just bought an acer helios 300 (i7 10750H and RTX 2060). Needed a new laptop and there wasn't much in price between what I needed and this gaming laptop. Figured it could run PC2. Then I saw PC2 was still £45 on steam so I got AMS2 instead for £18 on sale. Some 20 hrs in and it's a better game than PC2, certainly better than the console version which I had on xbox one x. Not gonna go near PC3...

Then my TP3A brake pedal load cell gave up on me. After 4 years of service it's time to upgrade...

This morning my Fanatec DD1 wheel and clubsport v3 pedals arrived and I'm like a pig in ****! It's now all bolted to the rig but I gotta walk the dogs... The missus don't look too impressed with my new purchases and I'll be sleeping in the doghouse if she sees what I spent, but I don't care too much - won't be needing her services tonight, I got new toys!
