Pffft, good luck affording it, I get the feeling that Nvidia's gonna jack prices up again with this new generation, just like they did with the 2000's.
Not for the enthusiasts. They've got to get as many FPS out of their games as is possible.Like, Just by the name alone, RTX 3080Ti sounds like it's designed for games coming out in 2025. Aren't the 2000 series already powerful enough?

I am not quite familiar with how pc parts market works, but why does it always seem like whenever the details of a new part get released, the parts always seems to be an overkill?

Nah man, if you don't have this, you ain't gaming, bro...Is that...Really necessary?
Like, speaking as a PC gamer, I am more than happy with my RTX 2060, honestly.
Is the RTX 2060 really necessary? I'm still happy with my GTX 1070 lol. But the message Nvidia appears to be sending here is Go big or go home. Thrown down, the gauntlet has been.Is that...Really necessary?

Back around 2009 I built a PC with the goal of being able to play Crysis optimally. I did so easily and, disappointed, thought I'd overdone it. Actually, when things go well, games become more demanding while monitors become more capable. So, buying a monster card gives you some future proofing. As it is, my best card right now is an RX 480 8 Gig. Good enough for 1080P 60 FPS on most games. I hope it lasts me about 3 more years. After that, I'm told to get a new monitor running at 144 hz.I am not quite familiar with how pc parts market works, but why does it always seem like whenever the details of a new part get released, the parts always seems to be an overkill?

Depends on how nuts your are. Your 1070 stomps all over my 480. But I've seen crazy setups with multiple 4K monitors that all have to be driven by a hypothetical graphics card... from space. At 1080p 60 fps, yeah, your card should be fantastic.Is the RTX 2060 really necessary? I'm still happy with my GTX 1070 lol. But the message Nvidia appears to be sending here is Go big or go home.

Better add a little extra to the budget for that small-scale nuclear reactor you'd need to power that rig.Course, were money no object? I'd be all over this 3080. Wonder if I can do it in SLI?!?! With 4 of 'em!
This stuff just looks so crazy and I know my RX 480 could not do it justice.Better add a little extra to the budget for that small-scale nuclear reactor you'd need to power that rig.
I’m not even running 4K either so should be able to stretch it out quite a while yet. I’d love to see what that 3080 card can do but I also get kinda attached to my setup, and hate to think of any components as disposable.Back around 2009 I built a PC with the goal of being able to play Crysis optimally.

What in the...how would you even know where to look at what on that thing?This stuff just looks so crazy and I know my RX 480 could not do it justice.
Eh, it's not, Nvidia were just price-gouging by flashing their ray-tracing tech in the 2000s series to screw as much money as they could out of the graphics fetishists while the industry took a couple of years for the tech to actually be widely adopted. If they try to pull that shit again with the 3000s, AMD are gonna undercut them hard, and Nvidia's gonna deserve it.I've got a GTX-1070Ti in my box, because I can't see paying more than USD$500 for a GPU. NVIDIA's flagship GPUs are costing as much as whole PCs did just three years ago. Frankly, I don't see how it's sustainable.
There was also the crypto-currency boom that drove up prices for a while.Eh, it's not, Nvidia were just price-gouging by flashing their ray-tracing tech in the 2000s series to screw as much money as they could out of the graphics fetishists while the industry took a couple of years for the tech to actually be widely adopted.
