No idea anymore, I'm so confused by GPU pricing
What are you confused about? It looks to be trending down? You can either try save more money by waiting even longer or enjoy the benefits now. Guess it all depends on your own perspective of value/asset utilisation.
Doesn't help when all the votes are corrupted by miners who don't want gpu prices to fall.
FYI it's a bad deal. As in it's not even a deal this has been it's retail price for 4 months now
I think the RX 6700 XT was a better deal at $599. Hopefully they drop even more.
Its only a good deal if you compared it to the inflated price of the last two years and need it right this moment, Nvidia is overstocked on Ampere chips and are trying, along with their vendors to reduce stocks, cyptominers are also trying to get rid of 3000 series cards at the moment. I personally think the prices will come down even further in the coming month so im holding.
what is the true price bracket this should belong in?
This is like should be in the 1060/2060 price bracket etc.
don't think they usually belong in the $6xx to $700 price bracketThis really should be a 499 tops kind of card. But miners, crypto bros, douchebag hoarders etc…
are cards used by cryptominers safe to buy for reliability (considering they were probably running 24/7)?
no
Buying a used card always carries risk, that risk is up to the individual to determine. You might get lucky and buy a used mining card that was just bought before the crash or unlucky where its been mining for the past 2 years.
@binary101: It would be better to just assume most cards sold are running 24/7 for the past 2 years..
how much cheaper are crypto cards vs new prices right now?
might be better just wait for the new cards to drop prices if the difference is not that great.
@pinkybrain: No sure of the price difference, havent checked lately but have a look at aliexpress/ebay, personally im going to wait until the end of the year as I feel like thats a lot of variables thats going to drive the price down even further.
6700xt 12gb ASRock is $630 with code on eBay
bad price. Hellhound was $1 cheaper
Not really. I'd wait. RTX 2070 Super which is a class above during previous gen selling for $579 just 2 years ago. Adjust for inflation and a 3070 ti is maybe worth $663. Definitely not a 3060 ti. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/571137
yeah due to crypto miners and chip shortage etc..
the 3060 got pushed up a price bracket
the way to see it, the 3060 is in the bracket of the 1060 price range
and no way it belongs in the $6xx bracket.What was the 1060 range back then?
@pinkybrain: What the F! Those were so damn cheap!
@[Deactivated]: yeap,
-crypto
-pandemic
-chip shortage
-inflationall added to the prices we have now
@pinkybrain: I would say Crypto was the major player here. Probably 75% the cause for all this drama. There were enough chips.
@[Deactivated]: yeah pricing depends on supply and demand
crypto really push demand up quite a lot
but it also occur during the last two years of the pandemic which affected chip supply2060 prices
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/product/nvidia-geforce-rtx-20602060 was released in jan 2019
the price now is roughly how much it was costing in 2019
under normal price drops the 2060 should have been discounted to 1060 prices by now..
decent point, only problem is 3060 ti's performance is roughly between the 3 2080's (normal, super, ti), 2080 founders rrp was $1199 in 2018 ($1,263.82 calculated for inflation)
2080 are roughly $500-600 preowned, 3060ti is mostly >550 preowned
3060 Tis are probably the best Nvidia value-for-money card right now, which will give you years of future proofing, and don't require the most beefy power supplies.
AMD cards are currently better value for money though, unless you need Nvidia features for niche things like machine learning stuff, some advanced graphics tools, or really have your heart set on ray tracing (but from my understanding there's hardly anything which uses it and these mid-range cards aren't great for it anyway). Nvidia also has DLSS but that again appears to only be something you'd use on a high-end card, and only for upscaling to a 4k monitor (which almost nobody is using in the real world according to Steam hardware surveys).
AMD cards on the other hand are better than Nvidia for things like running Unix/Linux.
There was an AMD 6700 XT for $599 from umart a few days ago, which is a better card than this unless you need specific Nvidia features.
Right now the 3070, 3070 Ti and 3080 10GB deals are better value on the NVIDIA side of things, but we're almost at EoL for this series
If your son streams or plans to, wait for RTX 40 series GPUs.
One in this price range ($700-$800) should appear before the end of the year, and should offer around 2x the performance of this card.
If they don't stream and don't have much use for DLSS, then the 6700 XT deals another poster mentioned are a better offer.
Twice the performance for $700 to $800?? No chance!!
AD103 is 84 SM, AD104 is 60 SM. This was revealed as part of the NVIDIA hack.
That puts a 4070 in the ball park of 56-68 SMs, with clock speeds up 40-50% due to the massive process leap, and there's a chip circuit with substantial architectural tweaks with respect to cache that's also been mapped more efficiently using a new machine learning technique.
Entry level 4070s should land around $800.
This is getting close to second hand prices on ebay auctions.
except for single bid wins or fhr, preowned stops at $550, pretty tolerable deals which is surprising for ebay
For a sec i thought it was 2 for 663
nonsense!
Indeed!
Go non LHR!
To be honest no idea but assume better like with the pre mining cards.
Should sell my msi rtx 2060s this year and get a mild upgrade for next tax year $400-500 should still be achievable.
mmm $10 drop, me sad, $650 vision one day….
I'm expecting $530 for 3060ti and $500 for 6700xt. Anything else is too expensive
I expected those prices at launch though so now I expect even cheaper deals (which won't happen). But I think 6700xt will be $499 or less by November.
$550 is the money I'd be happy to pay for a 3060 Ti right now, which I think is fair coming from paying around $400 for a 970 back in the day. Hopefully we see a big clear out near 4000 series launch but who knows these days.
3rd here, that's the same price I've been thinking that I'd be willing to pay. The older the card gets, the less sure I am of that though.
Imagine getting this when a 6700xt is $599
Is this considered a good deal? Thinking as an upgrade for my son's machine. Has been telling me about this for a while?
