My last laptop was a 7700HQ with a 1070, got it near the end of the 10X0 series life, and cost $1100. However, even laptops with current dGPUs are beginning to get silly high in cost.

I've said for a long time if someone asks me about a brand new PC gaming build, for most of the past year I would point them towards a laptop. I've been thinking that this GPU situation may kill PC gaming and more generally desktops if it goes on for too long.
Hopefully folks are hitting up the /shuffle - you can generally find 3060Ti listed on there without being in a bundle, around the $550-620 price range. They've been in it since the start of November 2020 for the models they opted in for. I still know a few people waiting for 3070 or 3080 cards from the EVGA queue, too. If things go like they did with my 980Ti, I'll probably make good use of this card for a good 4-5 years. Then, of course, everyone and their cousins were snatching them up for scalping or mining.Įventually, when all was said and done, I was lucky enough to find a 3080 for around $950 after taxes and shipping costs. Then the 3060Ti was announced, a solid performance card that's just behind a 3070 and priced lower.I could live with that. I was pumped to get one! Sadly, many of us know how things went with inventory and then followed by price hikes and scalping. I didn't fell hindered by the 6GB of VRAM on the 980Ti and 8GB on the 3070 should handle things just fine for my needs.

I was thrilled when the saw the performance the cards offered and the MSRP they were listing for when the cards were supposed to launch.Ī RX 6800 or a RTX 3070 would have been the best option for me, they landed in the best price range and would have been a helluva upgrade from the 980Ti I was using. I do agree that the 3080 felt a little on the lower end of things with VRAM as to how the previous high-end cards were progressing, I thought it would show up with at least 12GB.
