| JEMC said: I think Nvidia messed up this time and the 3060 should have had the performance of the 3060Ti. Then it would have been a good upgrade. But given how it performs, it could have been the 3050Ti that Viv is asking for. Of course, it also depends on where you come from and how big the upgrade will be but, comparing it with theprevious generation, the performance jump is smaller than the rest of the Ampere cards. |
Could definitely be better, but roughly moving up a tier per generation (xx60 -> xx70) seems fine to me. It's not the best jump, but it seems acceptable to me. It's probably not the best value for money, but personally I don't find the value too low (assuming the prices do drop to MSRP at some point). That said, it probably does depend on where you're coming from. 970, like me? Definitely worth it. 2060 or 2070? Probably not.
| JEMC said: As for Valve-Apple-Epic, they say it in the article posted by Yuri. Epic says that the 30% cut that Apple makes is unfair, and Apple is using Valve to defend themseles because Valve also get a 30% cut, and they'll use that to claim that it's a common practice. The problem here, and it's something that Epic can use against that if they have better lawyers (or at least better than Valve's), is that developers are given free keys that they put on sale at other platforms like Humble Bundle, Fanatical, GMG, etc. from wich Valve gets nothing, something that Apple doesn't do. |
I'm not a lawyer, but that doesn't make much sense to me. That's like saying "everyone's committing this wrong, so it's OK", and the next step would be 'you must sue everyone instead of just us to correct this wrong'. Besides, to me it sounds like what Apple requested (and got) was more than they needed to prove that point (at least that what it sounded like when I read the earlier news regarding this, but I don't care enough to look for the news again to check).
