What are your thoughts on the details from the RTX 3000 series announcement and what are your predictions for the popularity of the RTX 3090?

JAIMIE, LEADER COMPUTERS:

“The dawn of a new graphics card generation…. Exciting times!

Our main concern is the performance of the 3070 being higher than the considerably more expensive 2080 current cards, it will make for some interesting conversations if Nvidia get stock into the country quickly. Judging from past launches though, there will be tight allocation constraints and the high expense of international airfreight currently will offset some of that gap.

Demand for gaming rigs in general has been very strong, as many people normally spending on dining out, drinking in pubs and travelling have very little to spend their cash on. The 3090 cards look amazing, and with plenty of JobKeeper and JobSeeker money still in the economy we expect a rapid uptake this launch.”
