[Admin]

GPU prices over the past month have trended upward on Nvidia's higher-end RTX 30-series cards. AMD's RX 6000-series meanwhile continues to drop and has some good values on tap.

Of course they are...

Frankly, I managed to live without a video card upgrade for so long that I can wait another year or two for the whole idiocy to come down. Let the "influencer" led sheeple spend their parents' hard-earned money on something that should realistically sell at one half of the current prices, tops. The more resonable of us have tons of way to spend that kind of money on something that's actually worth it.

It's standard practice before Black Friday/Cyber Monday to raise prices at retail in order to sell at a "steep" discount. You all know this.

I upgraded my 1060FE to an A770 and have been very happy with it. It does my work setup, daily triple monitor over RDP setup just as well, and I swear it looks a little better. Doom Eternal looks beautiful with ray tracing and pushes the card to the max. And my League of Legends is as good or better than before. I initially started on the betas and currently on the 101.3802 WHQLs. I haven't had a single crash. Going from 6GB to 16GB is quite the novelty. Looking forward to using XeSS and watching this thing age like fine wine.

I was originally going to buy a 4070 Ti but I'm increasingly wondering why I would even bother. Especially if I have to fight to get one. I'm happy enough that if I don't get a 4070 Ti, I intend to buy Battlemage and follow Arc's story.

Looks like I made a good move.

After living off my last (supposedly temporary) gpu upgrade of an $89 RX-580 just before the crypto mining thing took off, I bought a 3080ti for $750 - 20% cash back a little over a month ago.

I wasn't ever going to pay over $1000 for a card. I wasn't ever going to pay much more than $900 for a nearly god tier 4k gaming experience. The 4090 cost too much, the 4080 looked like an overpriced dog, and I suspected that they'd be hard to get. I expected the AMD 7xxx series to be pretty good and less expensive. They did very well on both counts and I expect that those too will sell for over msrp, and be hard to get.

I'm set for 3-5 years now, whichever way it goes. I'll think about AM5/socket-what4ever, DDR 5 and gpu's when that time arrives.

In the meanwhile, just two 8 pin connectors off an existing power supply since the 3080ti uses less electricity than the 3090 or 40xx series. And they won't melt.

Good chance to place this with Black Friday coming up:

Spoiler

Some good Radeon deals to be had out there.
"Hey guys/gals, what RTX gpu should I get for gaming on Black Friday?"

It's interesting to compare the US and European markets - we didn't really see the same depth of price cuts the US saw, and prices have been creeping back up for a while. I ended up purchasing a 3060 Ti about a month ago due to it looking like my 970 had failed, and it's already £60 (15%) more expensive than I paid for it.
