RTX has matured with the new 30 series line up. Ngreed has slightly reduced as well. Time for an upgrade?

The RTX3070 looks like the winner to me. Let's see what 3rd parties come up with soon

Want a RTX 3070, 3x the performance of my decent GTX 1070, and i finally have money to burn on hardware again, so yes. Getting a RTX 3070 ROG Strix when they come out.

GTX 1070 is about the same performance as a GTX 980Ti for reference.

Same here, I have a 1070. Will be looking to upgrade to 30 series real soon.

I'm still getting more than i need out of my GTX 1080 so no need to upgrade just yet.

Maybe when we get some details on TDUSC PC requirements but that could be a wile yet.

Bez, to be fair so am i with my GTX 1070 at 2560x1440p, but my Dell screen 5+ years old now, and my GTX 1070 FTW is about 3,8 years old now, so getting to be upgrade time. I want to sell the GTX 1070 on before one of the two fans on it becomes worse, as it has a little clunk noise when it starts and stops spinning, and i don't want to deal with it, as it cost 20+ USD on ebay to get a set of replacement fans for it.

Ok i see what you mean.

Then i guess it's time to upgrade.

I'm just trying to get the most out of my card as i can before i move on as these things are not cheep

At the moment i play games on a 4K 32inch monitor and get quite good frame rates the only time i get issues is if i also plug my 24inch monitor in as well and use both together.

I have a GTX 1070 also. The 3070 looks like the card I would get when I decide to upgrade but I will hold off for a while. Let the pipeline fill up, wait for the sales on these cards. In a few months there will be plenty of opportunity to pick one of these up at a better price after the first wave of buyers tapers off.

Found the pictures of my upcoming card, if all goes well, the Asus ROG RTX 3070 Strix. Luckily only 2x 8-pin power, and not the crazy 12-pin or 3x 8-pin powers, so don't need new cables.

These ones made me laugh pretty good. (You might want to turn down the volume abit.)

If your expensive last gen card gets overtaken by the top mid tier next gen, people might get angry

But you can not really judge Nvidia for doing a good job, can you?
That is like blaming Mercedes for becoming World Champions of F1 way too many times in a row.

I gues AMD has to buckle up.

PS Funny how many of you guys have a GTX1070. I have one in my HTPC that i currently use to play games on the big screen TV.
I will have to wait until Zotac will make a mini version of the RTX3070. Not in a hurry.
