[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3872271, member: 5800"] No, hadn't seen that Intel was allowing those yet. I basically kind of put things on hold since I saw the target launch dates. The other option for me on vidya is that I just grab a 3080 or 3090 when prices drop. Rumor is that Nvidia is sitting on a pretty sizeable pile of them so one would assume they'd drop. BUT if the rumors about double performance are actually really real then it might be worth it to pay for the upgrade. To [USER=1563]@El Pablo[/USER] s point about old computers, my current build is older than dirty in computer years. Precision T5500 Dual Xeon 5670's 72GB ECC DDR3 RAM RX480 OC edition 512GB SSD/3TB RAID 0 It's been massively overspeced for years and runs like a top. However, it's loud, and has a high power draw and is just plain getting old, which is why I've reluctantly decided I need to bite the bullet and spend money for it's successor. [/QUOTE]
