News Yeston RTX 3080 10GB Plummets to $579 After Rebate

Oh so close! I would almost buy it at this price point. It would look so good in my development/creator machine. Really though, I need a new graphics card like I need a hole in the head. I just want one. Something is wrong with me.... 🙁
 
what is Yeston?

never head of that brand but been seeing it pop up lately

It's a major CHINESE GPU brand, but not much popular outside of ASIA, though you might find some models at NewEgg and Amazon. But warranty would be a major issue if you get this outside of Asia.

They sell and make LEGIT GPUs. Some of their models are rock solid when it comes to the build quality. Yeston cards are very popular in china.

Shenzhen Yingjiaxun Industrial Limited Company, which was founded in 2000, is an IT enterprise specialized in R&D, production and marketing of computer accessories. This company owns such self-owned brands such as “Yeston”, “Game ACE” etc, with its products mainly including graphics cards, motherboards and power supplies.

If these things meet your future needs, then by all means buy what is now obsoleted technology at a discount price.

I am thinking about the $1600 nVidia monster, but will wait to see what AMD releases. If AMD can get close to performance at a lower cost and lower energy consumption, it might end up being my first AMD product in decades. nVidia seems to be slipping back into the power hungry stage. I think my RTX 2080 only consumes 225 watts per its ratings. Not sure I want the 400 watts heating my computer room.
 
Whoa, it's not everyday I see news about my personal GPU. I have the 6800XT version, and I can say with absolute certainty it's a great GPU (minus the price when I bought it, and its smell when it was new).

I was a Sapphire guy before jumping ship to Yeston. No complaints.

interesting. guess that why never heard of them.

they look pretty but i'd love to see some reviews from our side of the pond just to give me a deep dive into a model or 2.

Steve of Gamers nexus did a review awhile back for the 6700XT model. Sure, it was a different model so the cooling system might put out different performance, but he said it was decent, and it's high praise coming from him.

Full transparency though, the only reason why I bought this Yeston model over anything else wasn't because of its performance or its price point. It's because.... I find it really cute.

Translation: Mining has ended, and while mining was technically banned in China last year, it was still happening. Just on a smaller scale (one PC in a home wasn't going to get authorities dropping by). So now mining is completely dead, and the supply of Yeston GPUs is about to shoot up. Maybe they can take some of the former EVGA inventory? 😛
 
lol.

that's what i noticed from listings i have seen. they do look nice if you like the anime type look. much different than anything out there.

my main thing with a review would be the teardown to see what's under the hood. if the parts are quality and build looks good and so on. i am not in the market right now but build enough for others than anything i can buy is worth knowing what it's all about. i won't use crap parts when building for clients so i look close for reviews on quality and so on as much as i can.

if i know it is quality i can offer these "cute" cards as an alternative vs the normal black cards we see from everyone else.
 
Yesten is well known, mainly for their 'Waifu' motif on the backplates of the cards. They hold up with the well known U.S. sold AIB as far as performance and build.
There should be a few reviews on YT under the brand.
 
Change the title of the article. It's not a rebate, you spend $779 and you stay $779 poorer. A rebate is getting money back. What you get is a $779 graphics card + a promise to shop there again within 90 days. Even if it gets you a mostly free product. There's still a distinction. You can't say "rebate" if it isn't
