The 3080s yearn for the mines!

Arctic sells $5 fans and still makes profit enough that they are willing to give 6 years warranty.

5800X3D hasn’t budged from €/$320 in weeks.

I’m surprised buildzoid wasn’t there.

Unless this is how they sell AMD models while keeping Intel happy.

Or maybe the R16 was poorly received by general consumers who give zero fucks about airflow and buy Alienware on looks alone ¯\(ツ)/¯

The only benchmark it loses is at 4K native (no DLSS) ray-tracing / path-tracing, and the 3090 isn’t playable there either.

2060 is generally faster than 3050, but has lower VRAM.
So you can run it, but you’ll need to turn settings down to avoid stutter.
