Next-Gen had already started with Turing.

But Ampere is a massive improvement in every way... Including the price... And just like that, the PC is a step ahead of next-gen consoles.

To be honest, was expecting a price increase due to the inclusion of GDDR6X and having more memory chips overall.

Are you going to be getting Nvidia GPU or waiting until RDNA 2? Or neither this year?

Definitely not making any decisions until all the cards are laid out on the table. (Pun intended.)

Then go with whoever provides the best price/performance at the mid-high end segment. (I.E. 1440P/144hz.)

Something like the RTX 3070 or Radeon RX 6700... Need to wait and see.

Yeah its strange considering its a 'only' a 220W GPU. Maybe Nvidia knows a thing or two. I have a feeling 12 pin will be the new standard on upcoming GPU and PSU's. With normal PCI-e 8 pin connectors slowly getting phased out.

At least it should come bundled with an adapter, I should hope!

It's not so much about how much power they suck, the biggest benefit the connector provides is a reduction in space needed for power delivery so they can improve cooling and what not.
