Hyderzwow.. how much is this gonna be priced at? $399?$429?

Dobermannand how about stock? :D

TurmaniaCompared to 2060 Super, same price, same TDP and minimum 40% performance increase, overall very good .

ZoneDymoYou can say whatever you want, but PC gaming legit is dying for me if this is kept up:


I bought my HD6950 + Dirt 3 for 200 euro brand new, those are prices I can get behind, now a 60 sku from big N costs 400..probably more like 500 euro...that used to be the price range of near high end.

And I know I know not everything has been bad, mostly just GPU's, thanks to AMD prices cpu's are fine like a 3600 for 200 bucks, good stuff.

droopyROThen stick to 1080p High details, no offense, but a 200$ GPU is adequate for 60 fps in those conditions. My RX 570 is fine within those settings.
But if you want 1440p, 4K or above 60 fps you have to get a 400, 600 or 1000$ GPU something around my 1070 Ti or above performance level.

You are forgetting that back then you probably played at 1680x1050 or 1280x1024. And 144Hz monitors were barley getting in the market at phenomenal prices, also they were 1080p TN crap. Today you can get IPS or VA at 144Hz for about 200$.

ZoneDymoActually back then I did 2042x1536 @ 85hz sooo yeah not to mention that HD6950 was also build for the future with its 2gb of Vram etc, today that would cost 400 euro as well, but it didn't, it cost 200, 200 for a videocard is fine, heck even 300 I can live with...but 800...for an ok-ish videocard? really?

Also because resolution goes up and games become more demanding...the gpus should also cost more?

I mean that is why Im buying A NEW GPU in the first place and not sticking with the old thing forever right?
The problem is that the new gpu for the sku has completely jumped in price to imo rediculous levels.

And I do feel I have to emphasis the "imo" here, if the current prices is not issue for you, great, but for me its heavily been withholding me from upgrading, its not that I cant afford it, I just dont want to pay that much for IMO relatively not blazingly impressive performance

Arpeegee100% agree! Now with the new consoles out with 8-core Ryzen, 16GB of RAM plus ~2080ti equivalent GPU for only $500, paying $100 less JUST for a GPU that has less performance is ridiculous. Both Nvidia and AMD will need to adjust prices next year when console stocks are healthy otherwise it'll be 2007 again when PC was considered dead.
