everywhere you turn your head you turn
to the left people are talking about rtx
3000 you turn your head to the right
people are talking about rtx 3000 even
console
fanboys are talking about rtx 3000 right
now that's how much of a buzz
this is making but not many people are
talking about rtx
2000 and more specifically getting a rtx
2000
deal which is what we're going to do
right now we're going to head up to
brisbane where
i found a rtx 2080 ti for 800 aussie
dollars
and in my previous video i said this was
the max i was prepared to pay
so one's come up i've put in an offer of
800 from 900
and they've accepted so what we're going
to do right now is we're going to go get
this thing and then while we're up that
way because it's a little bit of a drive
about a 40 minute drive
for me while we're up that way i'm going
to check out more rtx
2000 deals on the road so strap on in
come join us we'll pick up some used
deals
but also in today's video we'll touch on
the rumors of the rtx 3000
supply side issues that could cause
people
to not get one of these cards at least
in the first couple of months
but let's hit the road first
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
so we just got that 2080 ti and the
person was kind enough to actually let
us inside their house and show it up
all up and running and working so that's
always a good thing to
make sure you're confident in buying one
of these cards
so 2080 ti a zeus model it's looking
pretty good but while we're up
this way i'm actually going to jump on
good old gam tree
and see we can also find some more like
2070s 2080s
and even 2080 ti's for decent prices
because
if you're going to build a gaming pc in
the next couple of months i mean if you
can pick up one of these 280 ti's for a
good price then
regardless of rtx 3000 that's still
going to be
a pretty solid deal nothing like a bit
of old-school
good old gambtree
hi this is joshua community services
so they didn't pick up their phone i
just sent them a text message putting
down an offer of 500 aussie dollars for
the rtx
2080 um let's just jump on facebook
quickly see if there's any other deals
while we're out on the road
so spending about 10 minutes now we've
gone through a good old facebook
and also a game tree and we found an rtx
2080
and that's available for they wanted 650
for it i offered 500
they've come back at 550 so i'm like
sure i'll go pick this up
because there is one more factor that
we'll talk about later that has come to
me
in the whole time that i'm hunting these
cards and i just realized that when i
picked up this 2080 ti now
but we'll talk about that soon because
while we go pick up this deal we've also
put out a few feelers there on rtx 2060s
and also 2070 supers so hopefully they
get back to us now the 5700 xt's i've
been keeping an eye on them too
but they're going for like 600 aussie
dollars brand new from the stores
and then i'm seeing people on
marketplace and stuff ask
more for their 5700 xt so it looks like
at this point in time
there's really only a sell-off happening
with used rtx graphics cards
at least where i am in the world
that's on the beautiful gold coast but
i'm up in brisbane
which isn't the beautiful gold coast but
it's actually a nice day here it's
pretty good it's pretty beautiful up
here too
[Music]
so we've just finished up picking up
that rtx 2080 that checks out aok
and the guy ended up actually upgrading
to a 2080 super
and he knows about the rtx 3000 series
so he's just getting rid of it now
the 2070 super i put down an offer of
480 they message back they said
someone's picking up for 600
then there was also a 2060
which they got back to us and they just
said they were holding firm at 4
30. so we're gonna head back to the tech
air studio now and we've already picked
up two satisfactory deals
[Music]
so straight away this rtx 2080 ti and
rtx 2080
that i picked up they're aussie pricing
so when you think of the usd
pricing 500 usd you've got to add 10
percent on for us guys
down under and that is 550 usd because
we pay 10
tax and 770 usd automatically that's how
we have to think of the pricing so when
we convert that and we look at the 2080
ti that i got for 800 aussie dollars
that's
pretty decent deal and then the 2080 for
550
i'm happy with those prices but one
thing that we're going to talk about is
the rtx
3000 demand from everyone i'm talking to
the demand is going to be
huge for these new graphics cards so
with that unprecedented demand
you're going to see at least initially
this
big big wave of orders for the 3080s
especially when that comes out and i
think
retailers in australia there's word on
the street that they're going to limit
it at one per customer
and then there's this other group that a
lot of people aren't talking about
and that is businesses in rtx studio a
lot of workstations are going to want to
get
the 30 80 and also the 30 90 for that
hdmi 2.1
and also 8k video editing and stuff like
that so there's going to be
not just demand from the gamers for
these rtx cards
there's also going to be demand from the
business side so these two factors
together i feel is just going to make
rtx 3000 demand
through the roof and so supply is pretty
much going to be a stable thing but
demand initially is going to be huge and
so with those two things in mind i feel
like the rtx 3000 launch
is just going to be a roller coaster now
of course there's the performance
figures and this was the other thing
that came to mind when i was picking up
this 2080 ti
and that is you've noticed that a lot of
the benchmarks pretty much
all the benchmarks you're seeing is
pretty much only 4k performance at this
point in time
and i feel like nvidia is doing that
because if they show 1080p numbers
there's going to be massive cpu
bottlenecks in a lot of the games
but then that relates back to how many
people are actually going to be playing
at 4k
even to this date the majority of gamers
are on 1080p
and 1440p and 4k is still kind of a
niche yet
we're seeing all these benchmarks for 4k
and so a 2080 ti
is still going to be an absolute king
card
for people playing at 1080p 240
hertz and then of course if you're going
up to 360hz you're still going to need
a cpu and memory that's top end to be
able to utilize
that graphics card so really when you
think about it the 38 in especially the
30 90
these are going to be more 4k gaming
cards which
we have to sit back and weigh up the
question of are you going to be gaming
at 4k
and so when it all comes down to it
you've got all these factors now that is
just
piling up to one of the most interesting
if not i think it's going to be the most
interesting
launch of any tech product in enthusiast
pc gaming in history where
you've just got this massive market of
pc gamers
then you've got all these different
resolutions all these different settings
and so how's it going to play out that
is going to be
one thing to wait and see and so i just
feel like all the content that's going
to be coming out
is going to be really cool so if you
guys have like specific tests that you
want to see with rtx 3080
versus 2080 ti's and 2080s and stuff
like that
do let us know in the comment section
below and so two years ago i feel like
when rtx 2000 came out
especially the 2080 ti it was pushing
the boundaries of how much are you
actually going to want to spend
on a gaming pc so with this new launch
that question is really going to get
revisited big time it's something that
i'm going to be looking at personally
but
in the meantime however if i'm picking
up these rtx 2000 cards
under half the price of what they're
going for retail here in australia
i know one thing i'm getting a good deal
where the maximum
gain i saw on rtx 3000 cards not even
factoring in that 10
gst was around 190
value increase so i'm weighing it all up
and the deals that i'm getting here i
feel like are right on my safety level
i'm not going to
be losing too much if these cards come
out and they perform with that
especially with the 3080 versus the 2080
with that 80 boost so in the meantime
between now
and the launch of these new gpus i
really don't know exactly what's going
to happen but that i guess
in a sense gives a bit of excitement
does it not i mean if you
knew what the whole rest of your life
was going to be like and it was mapped
out
wouldn't that be a little bit boring and
so in ways i feel like
us humans we uh even though we don't
like to admit it
we kind of thrive on chaos and so if
there's that uncertain factor
it does make things exciting and that's
exactly what this month the start of
this month
and after that launch announcement i
feel like just things have been so
exciting
and so with that every morning that i
wake up i just can't wait to hit the
record camera
and just talk about pc tech because yeah
that excitement's coming back
anyhow if you guys enjoyed today's video
then be sure to hit that like button and
also let us know in the comment section
below
what are the big questions on your mind
right now
and if there's any really cool things
that you guys want us to make a video on
then i'll definitely entertain that for
you
just like this question of the day here
which comes from kawasaki and they ask
500 for a 2080 ti seems like a good deal
dot dot dot until you remember that the
rtx 3070
will be faster for the same price and i
feel like this is one of those things
where the 3070 i feel
will come in the same league as the 28th
ti but will there be
big differences in certain areas in
certain games
where the 2080 ti could be more
beneficial
so that's one of those things i can't
wait to see honestly and
500 usd for a 20 dti that was my max
price that i recommend people paying for
at the moment
and of course at this point in time i
don't recommend anyone pay any more for
that
because you are then risking losing
money when the 3070 is not far off
launch
however there are some differences in
that of course the 2080 ti does have 11
gigabytes of vram
versus the 8 gigabytes on the 3070 and
they are both still gddr6
despite the 3080 and also the 3090
having gddr6x and of course
it remains to be seen as the 3070s
memory is that being pushed
at a higher speed that's not able to be
overclocked that much
as opposed to 28 ti's which you could
get a decent sized memory overclock out
of
i do know one thing up until this point
in time rumors and speculations have
been
quite a bit off as we saw with the live
stream announcement from nvidia
themselves where the day before
people thought the configuration of the
cards were much different to what we saw
from that live stream announcement so
we have to wait and see and i hope you
guys are excited
just as i am and if you stayed this far
and you're enjoying that content then be
sure to hit that sub button and ring
that bell
and i'll catch you in the next one soon
and of course we've got amd's
reply everyone's waiting for amd's
response
to the rtx 3000 as well as the new
consoles like
these last few months of this year are
going to be shaping up to be some
very very tech heavy month so hopefully
your tech enthusiast adele
is pushing out of the camera frame
i'm out of here i'm out of here i'm
going to get back to making some more
