PC Build Advice/Review II: 3090 or Bust.

[Prothescar]

Received some hot tips that I can't go into much detail on, but Zen 3 should be much, much more available than Ampere has been

[Weltall]

I got 2 ampere with 0 effort, so I wasn't expecting zen 3 to be hard to get at all. Maybe week 1 and that is it?

Lucky ass

Even discord alerts aren’t fucking fast enough now.

[Weltall]

Scratch that, I misread lol.

I already got 2 Ampere's through eVGA's queue, was literally like the first on the list for both ultras and got them in the "test" batches. One for me and hooked up a friend. Will probably be first again once they get to the non-ultra XC3 models if someone (whom I've heard of) wants it for MSRP

[Nitsuki]

If it’s an XC3 gaming, i’ll probably take it. Best Buy has a first come first serve thing going on in their online orders with the FE. I’m fucking tired of this at this point, i got no queues for EVGA pop up for me yet, but it’s nice it’s working.

[Prothescar]

Yeah your chances of getting an FE for MSRP at this point are practically 0.

Figured it sounded like a good time to start looking into upgrading older tech, and the last laptop specific thread was 2 posts long from a year ago.

Have not had a laptop in a while, though for right now it seems a more functional solution than rebuilding my PC from scratch simply for the mobility. I am assuming most are designed with a standard baseline in mind regarding daily tasks and even light to medium video/audio editing, but I would appreciate something that can handle gaming and emulators without stress. Probably not modern PC gaming as I am more of a console person.

Not wanting to jump to Apple at all, so sticking to Windows. Trying not to jump above 1k, but would be much happier in the 800 range.

Is a very good option right at the 1k limit.

I've suggested it to friends and on here I think.

Started looking at the Lenovo lines as a good compromise between the business/gaming concept, but those Asus are catching my eye the more I look at them.

*sigh* nothing from evga queue yet, i’m never getting that 3080. i’m legit worried i’ll just have an x570 mobo collecting dust and not get a 5900X.

Which reminds me, am i supposed to get a bios update for the X570 to work with the Zen3 cpus or will they work right off the bat? Just because i just bought this mobo before the zen3 release.

Dude, I've already given up on getting a card in the next few months. I took the money I set aside for a card and a PS5, and just did some upgrades to my home theater system instead. I'm going to just give in to the 2020 fucks up everything.

[Weltall]

I haven’t even bothered looking since week 1.

[Prothescar]

Man the numbers coming out for Zen 3 are big. Ocean big. I didn't expect them to so utterly shit on Intel but they have defied expectations.

[Krandor]

I'm greatly excited about the laptop prospects for Zen 3 after years and years of Intel being the only real high end option and all the thermal throttling adventures that brings.

[Prothescar]

Ryzen mobile CPUs were already very very good, too bad it has been impossible to actually buy a laptop that has one

[Krandor]

Oh yeah there's some great models out there, but I don't think there is a single one that offers higher then a 2060.

Be nice to hopefully see Zen 3 plus 3070/3080 pairings come next year instead of another year of thermonuclear Intel's throttling the rest of the computer with their heat output.

[Andalusian girls]

and Intel's last bastion falls. hopefully they wake up and redesign their tired architecture in a hurry.

They haven't done anything but Ultras still, but my offer will stand whenever they get to it. I'll shoot you a DM if it ever happens

Reports are the 20gb 3080 has been cancelled.

Granted I have no clue who would be a reliable source on it, just randomly popped up on my news feed.
