Your totally valid point aside, GPUs have cratered. There’s actually a glut of them now. The 3090ti price was recently cut in half and the rumor mill is the 40 series was over provisioned based on crypto demand which has now also cratered, so there will be a lot of stock on the market. Now is a good time to look at upgrading if you haven’t in a bit.
- loeg 4y agoX070 prices are still like double what they were 5 years ago. This isn’t a crater yet. I’m not surprised they’re having difficulty moving the extremely expensive cards to non-miners, but x090Ti cards were never really about practical gaming.
- tjoff 4y agoEveryone keeps saying that but at least where I'm at that's not the case by a longshot. It is better, yes, but still terrible. This generation is completely dead to me, maybe next one.
- Shorel 4y agoI want to get a gaming desktop PC right now. The extreme anti gaming-community behaviour of the last three years by Nvidia have convinced me to wait more. Prices are still insane. I prefer to wait, may be for another year, and see these companies suffer a bit, and lower prices more. I also hope Intel gets their drivers up to spec and becomes a third worthy contender. Summer is almost over anyway, and university is a month away. I can wait until next summer.
- deelowe 4y agoCratered compared to the INSANELY high prices over the past couple of years, not compared to historical, pre-crypto, GPU prices. Things are improved, but still not back to nominal levels.
- rasz 4y agoWhile that might be true prices are still above MSRP from 2 years ago while distributors have full warehouses and arent budging.
