Furesis863d ago

Meanwhile, my 7 1080ti mining rig is running 24/7, with great results for the last 5 years, at some point i almost got myself an new 10 000$ asic miner but ended up getting two used antminers l3+ for a decent price.

The 3050 is at least better than the 6050xt

If it manages to be sold at MSRP. It's actually going to be one of the most solid cards out there.

The issue is managing that, though....

It's not a bad card technologically speaking. It's a 1660 super / 1660 ti with DLSS and Raytracing support. The issue is the price in this ridiculous market. Any other generation this would be a $170 or less GPU and it would be an incredible value and the jump in the budget market to finally make a large leap up from the GTX 1060 / RX 570 / RX 580 group, especially with DLSS making near GTX 1080 performance.

But the market is complete trash right now, and the 1660 ti came out 3 years ago at $280 and the 1660 super about 6 months after at $230....And 3 years later that level of native performance is being sold at the same price.... That's the issue.

An interesting acquisition. I always underestimate just how much business these PC building companies actually do. I suppose that not everyone has an IQ high enough to build one.

Reborn1778d ago

Not sure how this comment even relates to this post.

Sophiscated eh, lmao.

Killa781778d ago

Your ignorance doesn't make this acquisition
'interesting'.

sprinterboy1778d ago

You could have a IQ of below 80 and still build a PC.
Step 1 read manuals
2 youtube
3 it's no duferrent from being a child learning what size object and shape goes where.

Maybe people don’t feel comfortable enough to do it themselves, I got my 8700k with a Gtx 1070ti off cyberpower. Swapped out the card with a 2080 on my own. Do I fee comfortable enough building the entire thing and installing windows myself? Absolutely not.

sprinterboy1778d ago

I was referring to his comment on IQ not if someone doesn't feels comfortable or confident.

ElementX1778d ago

I bought a prebuilt PC from microcenter, their Powerspec brand. I actually saved money buying a prebuilt and it had the components I was going to buy. I saved even more because it was a customer return.

Why would anyone buy an EA branded product. Lol

ElementX1778d ago (Edited 1778d ago )

Did you even read the article? It says right in the first sentence:

(not to be confused with EA’s Origin digital distribution platform)

NicSage1778d ago

It was a joke. I've known about the difference between the two companies for years.

NicSage1778d ago

I find when people go full retard it's funny. People are so serious.

KwietStorm_BLM1778d ago

Are you..are you serious? Was that a serious question?
