How do y’all think this would compare to the 970m I am rocking in my “gaming laptop” 🤔

I think the last game I rocked hard on it was Morrowind with graphics mods

Fast as hell. Take a look at the 40 series bs your current card, then add 10% or whatever on top of that.

I’m thinking about upgrading my 1070 to a 3070 now. Don’t play a ton, but it’s getting to be time. CPU etc about ready as well.

I'm still somewhat sad w/ my 3080, not sure if this thing just runs below average somehow, in hindsight found out how shitty this aorus thing is with it's retarded little graphic display on the card that non of the drivers work for well. I bought in when prices were still a bit high and I regret it, right after moved and started a farm so I hardly play. I wished I'd just waited one more year and grabbed a 3080ti and be pretty well set for a while. Unless something crazy comes out, likely would be able to skip even 5 series.

Nvidia's data center GPUs already hit 1000w TDP. They use a different socket without the shitty 12VHPWR plug though. Doubt home GPUs go anywhere near that high, it would be hard to cool at acceptable noise levels.

Nvidia has also already sold the entire 2025 production of Blackwell GPUs so I wouldn't expect a to get a 50x0 GPU for cheap anytime soon.
Yes and data centers are already upgrading our power delivery systems for the racks of these

They're also super expensive

Right, at least it wasn’t a $1,500 increase. We should consider ourselves lucky and be gracious.

That's China prices I presume? If Trump really sets tariffs that could add a few hundred more to some of those prices for US buyers. AMD and Nvidia are shipping products into the US to get ahead of that, but supply will only go so far. This generation looks like a scalper's wet dream.

Yup, would love to find these on shelves collecting dust but people will sell these out in seconds. Sticking with my already stupidly priced 4090 for at least this gen. 1600 was already completely stupid.

Imagine a $1400 graphics card with only 16GB of memory. Trololololol.
