@@Erowens98 nvidia doesn't have "production capacity", they don't own a fabs. So there is few possible reason why you can't get these cards - they didn't order many at all (didn't book enough production lines), samsung have very low yields or as third nvidia make artificial shortage to pump up prices over their own msrp for some reason (higher manufacturing cost of cards than planned due high power demand or something).
@@Erowens98 samsung have enough of fabs to produce millions of units without issue. If someone order them and pay for manufacturing. So nvidia can buy more today and less tomorrow without anyone needing to spend more to produce more for short limited time, samsung will just switch these fabs to something else according to their schedule. And about monopoly...that will change in a month. Nvidia know that and that's why they go with lower prices this time. You don't need to be expert to know that if competition make cards on node with better yields, using cheaper memory (and with less chips with more narrow bus which give them advantage not just with price per GB but also with logistic cost) which use less power so need less expensive power management components and cooler so they can make cheaper cooling solution....with all that they card can be cheap. And even is it slower little bit if its cheaper hundreds of dollars they will sell better than your expensive product. That's main reason for price drop. Or you believe they are just good guys? Sure, today you can think people will buy them even for 1000, I'll ask you in one month will they still buy them for that amount.
@@Erowens98 fabs are not reserved days in advance and orders can't be changed on day to day basis, just look at problems AMD have for underestimated demand for 4000 series.

Man 15 years ago I was so excited for SLI, but never got a chance to get that 2nd card through multiple mainboards. Looking back, I'm glad I never spent the money.
@cpong I never could treat SLI seriously, for a 100% more investment you would have usually something like 20-30% increase in performance and not in every game.. seems like a waste of money for me.
2x GTX 690 (i.e. GTX 680 4GB, the EVGA FTW+ card) was probably the best scaling and also in the best era for SLI (2011-2015 games and all the SLI games that were released after the 8800 GTX like Crysis). GTX 680 SLI was between a GTX 970 and GTX 980 in performance, and GTX 690 SLI beats a GTX 1080 (non-Ti). The benefit of SLI had 2 primary reasoning back then: 1. A way for a gamer who invested $599 on an EVGA GTX 680 FTW+ in 2012 to invest only $300-400ish in 2015-2017 on a second EVGA GTX 680 FTW+ and reach the performance of a $549 980 or $599 1080 without having to invest in a completely new system, or more importantly: 2. A way for a gamer in 2012 to spend $1200 on the performance that no one else gets to experience for another half a decade. Basically become a god. Seriously, that's why people are paying $1300 for an RTX 4090 lmfaooo. You gotta pay for the best. You could 3-way SLI and even Quad-SLI the 600 series cards, and in that era (Witcher, Tomb Raider, Crysis, Arkham, etc.) the games did actually have good SLI scaling (as shown by Linus here in this video with Tomb Raider). So that was a magical time, indeed. Not to mention even if the game didn't explicitly scale that well with SLI, SLI still have you a ton of headroom when moving to higher resolutions or rendering SSAA. So, yeah 15 years ago when 8800 GTX SLI pioneered it and you got excited, the sweet spot was 11 years ago to 8 years ago. Sadly, that era is over, as nvidia would rather you buy a new $1000 GPU every other year rather than pick up a second 2-4 year old GPU. Shame really. The technology is where the future is as nvidia has been saying "Moore's Law is dead" and are trying to justify how overpriced/low performance some of their new cards are compared to expectations. Sounds like 2, 3, and 4 way SLI should be the future, but that doesn't maximize their bottom line. tl;dr if you can go back in time to the mid 2010s, try out the EVGA GTX 680 FTW+ 4GB (i.e. GTX 690) in SLI. Enjoy.
I had 2x 970's, used it in multi seat gaming, could play 3x dying light in high detail with my friends on one machine, I would absolutely get multiple again if they were supported on 3080's
Linus: “This is the kind of setup that even 10 years from now, most people will never have experienced” PC: Shuts down So I guess people are better at buying PSUs 10 years from now, huh?
Everyone: can't buy a 3090 anywhere. RUclipsrs: we've got so many 3090s that we're sticking them together with SLI and overclocking them. In our next video, we make a little fort using 3090s as bricks.
That power draw is insane! I recently built a dual RTX 8000 / custom water cooled 3970x PC for an engineering firm that wanted to add Raytracing to their workflow. That PC would draw 600 watts of power just logging into Windows, and 1400 watts under load usually. They had to get a dedicated circuit ran and a 3000 VA UPS for it because it was tripping the breaker in the office it was installed in with the 2 4k screens + everything else. I took a lot of random pictures and videos of it when I finished it, I might make something out of the clips.
@@GregFRDT it looks crazy in slo mo, but actually it’s fine, switch back to normal and that’s the normal wear and tear every graphics card suffers from.

I love these classic Linus videos. They seem more friendly and less ‘produced’ than some of the newer stuff. The new videos can often be a bit shouty and loud.
@@Cemtexify Per object motion blur at high framerates can be pretty good. Per object motion blur at low frame rates has less frames to give a sense of motion blur and looks choppy. Full screen motion blur... always looks terrible in my opinion.
10 years is a REALLY long time in the world of PC hardware though. Just think of what an absolute top end multi GPU solution from 10 years ago compared to even a single low end GPU from today would be like and I think you'd be surprised. In 10 years time matching this 3090 sli for a low amount of money would be easy (though I realise Linus might have just said 10 years for exaggeration) Even if he said 5 years and meant in relation to mid range I'd still be kind of skeptical, mostly because tech looks to recently be starting to move faster than it did in the last 10 years, especially with real time Ray tracing for gaming still being in it's infancy.
@@mydogbuddy07 Absolute top end multi GPU would be quad gtx 580s and you still can't get any low end gpu that would even come close to its (theoretical) performance (it's around gtx 1080 - 2070)
@@Tc4ify Yeah, but I'm not talking about theoretical performance or even production performance like blender where scaling is usually very good. I'm talking about from around average good sli performance to best case sli performance (and even then, it's being generous to the sli system) I haven't looked up any benchmarks for this, but my guess would be that testing that quad 580 system in a few Sli titles that were out at the time (using older games, to be generous to the older system, since newer games would likely suffer due to drivers and stuff) I think even then, a recent mid range GPU would likely win, since it would be significantly faster than a single 580 and even the best sli scaling gets progressively worse going to 3 and 4 GPUS. Though I think the 3090 sli will fair even worse in the future compared to the quad 580 system, as the scaling and support here is pretty aweful, and the 3090 is not an impressive leap forward compared to previous years, though it's hard to say how much more impressive future GPUS will be, could be pretty significant though if MCM GPU are coming in the not too distant future 🤔
Just think about the drops behind the scenes. What if the shortage of 3000 series gpus is simply because linus dropped all of them, rather than convenient scalping.
Or they're selling them as fast as they can get GPUs from Nvidia, and keeping extras on hand for reviewer hijinks would be a disservice to their customers. I'm pretty fed up with Nvidia's bullshit, but I don't quite follow your argument.
Preordering 100% solved FOMO and high demand in the past so it's all a scam. Been telling everyone all the tech channels are just acting like corporate mouths. None of these products are real to fabricate high demand and create a sense of FOMO in everyone. Bunch of marketing scheming and mind games for morons.
Maybe it's not NVIDIA's fault, maybe it's just economics. As the technology improved it could turn out it's more power and money efficient to create one powerful GPU instead of making connectors, drivers, compatible motherboards, compatible games and add the functionality to the GPU itself
I feel like SLI still has a home for creators and simular. I wish Linus would have done a comparison on things like 7zip, Blender renders, and blender fluid animations. These would have brought out better testing results around the environment they were designed for. Am I the only one who thinks this?
That goes into his whole SLI vs NVlink thing. Might be nice to see a contrasting video on what a bridged GPU setup is still good for after the death of SLI.
Some parallel workloads can work on multiple cards without any bridges required! Also that's what NVLink was created for, and it's much better in compute tasks than for gaming.
1:00 - Correct use of "raising the question..." instead of the all-to-common error of "begging the question!" Thank you Linus and Canada for helping to preserve proper, educated English.
Just by watching this video, I learned that: 1) PSU Efficiency is how well it can sustain its rated wattage. 2) That the RTX 30-series experiences power spikes that can trip the protections on PSUs and cause it to shut off when it hits close to or above the power supply's limit. 3) That SLI doesn't do anything anymore. 4) That the 1% and .1% lows in FPS averages represent lag spikes and frame drops. Wow, great video.
PSU efficiency is how much power from the wall gets delivered into components, say your efficiency is exactly 80%. So if your the sum of your PC parts requires 1000W, then your draw from the wall will be 1200W. It's a bit more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it. Still, all good points.
"PSU Efficiency is how well it can sustain its rated wattage." Pretty sure its actually how much of that wattage can actually be used by the system and doesnt get lost as heat.
@@Erenzilable I just wanna be that insufferable maths pedant who points out that if it was pulling 1200w at the wall and achieving 80% efficiency, the components would be using 960W, not 1000W. I think. If I'm understanding which way round efficiency works when measured as a %.
I like how linus is over here casually with three 3090s like that isn't a solid 30% of the entire stock of those cards

That power draw is insane!
I recently built a dual RTX 8000 / custom water cooled 3970x PC for an engineering firm that wanted to add Raytracing to their workflow. That PC would draw 600 watts of power just logging into Windows, and 1400 watts under load usually. They had to get a dedicated circuit ran and a 3000 VA UPS for it because it was tripping the breaker in the office it was installed in with the 2 4k screens + everything else. I took a lot of random pictures and videos of it when I finished it, I might make something out of the clips.

I thought that is what I heard.
Linus: people may never experiance this for 10 years.
My wallet: i couldnt agree more.
10 years is a REALLY long time in the world of PC hardware though.
Just think of what an absolute top end multi GPU solution from 10 years ago compared to even a single low end GPU from today would be like and I think you'd be surprised.
In 10 years time matching this 3090 sli for a low amount of money would be easy
(though I realise Linus might have just said 10 years for exaggeration)
Even if he said 5 years and meant in relation to mid range I'd still be kind of skeptical, mostly because tech looks to recently be starting to move faster than it did in the last 10 years, especially with real time Ray tracing for gaming still being in it's infancy.
Chugging
@@mydogbuddy07 Absolute top end multi GPU would be quad gtx 580s and you still can't get any low end gpu that would even come close to its (theoretical) performance (it's around gtx 1080 - 2070)
@@Tc4ify
Yeah, but I'm not talking about theoretical performance or even production performance like blender where scaling is usually very good.
I'm talking about from around average good sli performance to best case sli performance (and even then, it's being generous to the sli system)
I haven't looked up any benchmarks for this, but my guess would be that testing that quad 580 system in a few Sli titles that were out at the time (using older games, to be generous to the older system, since newer games would likely suffer due to drivers and stuff)
I think even then, a recent mid range GPU would likely win, since it would be significantly faster than a single 580 and even the best sli scaling gets progressively worse going to 3 and 4 GPUS.
Though I think the 3090 sli will fair even worse in the future compared to the quad 580 system, as the scaling and support here is pretty aweful, and the 3090 is not an impressive leap forward compared to previous years, though it's hard to say how much more impressive future GPUS will be, could be pretty significant though if MCM GPU are coming in the not too distant future 🤔

No manufacturing going on confirmed. They don't expect to sell these.
Or they're selling them as fast as they can get GPUs from Nvidia, and keeping extras on hand for reviewer hijinks would be a disservice to their customers.
I'm pretty fed up with Nvidia's bullshit, but I don't quite follow your argument.
Preordering 100% solved FOMO and high demand in the past so it's all a scam. Been telling everyone all the tech channels are just acting like corporate mouths. None of these products are real to fabricate high demand and create a sense of FOMO in everyone. Bunch of marketing scheming and mind games for morons.
@@skeevingquack If they don't have GPU's they cant start production lines. I see no fault in the logic.
7:10 Motion blur is nice in racing games, you feel more speed that way but everything else is just a blurry mess.
I was just reading something similar RE: racing games. So I enabled it for Forza Horizon 5.
I remember my 660ti sli setup and LOVING it. It's a shame Nvidia is doing away with it
I too had 660 SLI. I remember wanting to upgrade but the performance was about equal to a single 1060.
Maybe it's not NVIDIA's fault, maybe it's just economics. As the technology improved it could turn out it's more power and money efficient to create one powerful GPU instead of making connectors, drivers, compatible motherboards, compatible games and add the functionality to the GPU itself

I feel like SLI still has a home for creators and simular. I wish Linus would have done a comparison on things like 7zip, Blender renders, and blender fluid animations. These would have brought out better testing results around the environment they were designed for. Am I the only one who thinks this?
That goes into his whole SLI vs NVlink thing. Might be nice to see a contrasting video on what a bridged GPU setup is still good for after the death of SLI.
i came for the renders :(
blender fluid simulations are the ultimate test.
Totally agree, I was expecting some crazy low rendering times and baking of fluid animations
Some parallel workloads can work on multiple cards without any bridges required!

My friend called me:
-Sup mate, what are you doing?
-Just watching a video about two video cards that don't exist...
Just by watching this video, I learned that:
1) PSU Efficiency is how well it can sustain its rated wattage.
2) That the RTX 30-series experiences power spikes that can trip the protections on PSUs and cause it to shut off when it hits close to or above the power supply's limit.
3) That SLI doesn't do anything anymore.
4) That the 1% and .1% lows in FPS averages represent lag spikes and frame drops.
Wow, great video.
PSU efficiency is how much power from the wall gets delivered into components, say your efficiency is exactly 80%. So if your the sum of your PC parts requires 1000W, then your draw from the wall will be 1200W. It's a bit more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it. Still, all good points.
"PSU Efficiency is how well it can sustain its rated wattage."
Pretty sure its actually how much of that wattage can actually be used by the system and doesnt get lost as heat.
@@Erenzilable I just wanna be that insufferable maths pedant who points out that if it was pulling 1200w at the wall and achieving 80% efficiency, the components would be using 960W, not 1000W. I think. If I'm understanding which way round efficiency works when measured as a %.
