just out of interest what is the san diego KWh charge
Shoosh and here I was thinking that Gougelandastan (New Zealand) had high per KWh charges @$0.27 (+ 15% GST) per KWhHoly hell, you pay 34¢/kWh in USD! Here in Ontario, we pay an average of 10¢/kWh in CAD! That's 7.8¢/kWh in USD! I don't know how you survive that heat without A/C but I understand why you don't have it. I guess you spend a lot of time in the ocean, eh? I know I would!
Just FYI here in upstate SC, it looks like I pay $0.12 per KWh
Jeez I'd love to be paying those sorts of prices for power that works out to be $0.18 Gougelandastani Plunkett's (NZ cents)
Well, South Carolina has always been a Low Tax and affordable state. In the US, each state can vary, WIDELY.
It depends, here's why it's anywhere from 23.4 cents/kwh if you don't use much electricity and only use it in the middle of the night and up to 69 cents/kwh if you use a lot and it's peak rate.
Well, let's be honest here. Canada has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to hydroelectric potential with over 2,000,000 lakes and 8,500 named rivers. The only country that puts out more total hydroelectricity than Canada is China but Canada is still #1 in MW per capita (because China has 37x our population). The provinces generate their own power and they often out-produce most countries. Manitoba puts out 5.6GW, British Columbia puts out 11GW and Hydro-Québec puts out an astonishing 37.2GW.
Canada as a country/landscape is utterly beautiful. But I wouldn't want to live there for multiple reasons.
Well, I can assure you that whatever reasons you have were probably told to you by someone who likes to exaggerate. Joe Rogan actually went so far as to call Canada a "communist" country. It just makes me wonder, if Canada is communist, what does that make the rest of NATO?
Friend of mine is in the Canadian millitary. Speak to him quite a bit when he's not on deployment. It's a highly socialist country, maybe not communist, but very socialist. He says it about a 50/50 on what he likes and dislikes. People I've gotten to know from Canada are great.Well, I can assure you that whatever reasons you have were probably told to you by someone who likes to exaggerate.

Compared to the USA, sure, but "highly socialist" is a relative term. If you consider Canada to be "highly socialist", you'd be absolutely aghast at the practices of most NATO nations. When it comes to being socialistic, Canada is actually pretty low and NATO is bringing in two more countries that are far more socialistic than Canada in Sweden and Finland.
The 4080 is going to be a good deal in Canada. I wouldn’t touch the current generation of cards at this pointCompared to the USA, sure, but "highly socialist" is a relative term.

Believe it or not, NATO as a whole is "highly socialist" and yet, the countries all seem to get along just fine with citizens who live long and happy lives. Hell, Sweden just blows me away with what they accomplish with their system. They produce their own state-of-the-art fighter jets, submarines, surface combatant vessels, radar systems, Volvo cars, Volvo and Scania trucks, are a world hockey power and, oh yeah, IKEA. Not bad for a country with just over ten million people, eh? They impress the hell out of me, that's for sure!
Well, I think this is purely a matter of what you believe pricing is going to look like and speculation on the performance of a 4070. Fact of the matter is, you can get 3080s from time to time NOW under MSRP. Regardless of the pricing/performance of the not-yet-announced 4070, which could be months or more away, I still think the 3080 at MSRP or below is a fantastic value.
Sure. If you want to keep waiting then, of course, that's your prerogative. That's totally cool. But there will always be better tech just months away. It's the nature of the industry.
But it's an inflated MSRP to begin with. A 3080 should MSRP for 599.00. The 2080 Super was 499.00
I purchased 3 of them about 1.5 / 2 years ago for that price off of amazon. That was the full price of those cards. Asus strix 2080 super.
I mean, that may have been the price you paid 1.5-2 years ago, but the MSRP on release was $699.
You are correct, I was wrong
My wife is quick to point out when I'm wrong. lol.You and me both. And honestly, I'm not saying that's a *great price* for a high end card. It's definitely very expensive. But given that that's been the trend with the next-to-flagship cards, that's sort of where I'm saying the value of the 3080 at or below MSRP is a great value. The performance - if you're going to pay that expensive price - is great and the card will last for years if you want it to. Even if the 4070 is more powerful, its going to be at a comparative price and may not be available until well into next year. At that point, you'll just be a year or so away from the next series of cards and on and on. Waiting is perfectly fine, but grabbing one now is perfectly fine too. The resale value on the high end cards remains strong for years after release.You are correct, I was wrong
