I feel like the most recent time you could reasonably get an nvidia *80 GPU at the store for a normal amount of money was almost a decade ago.

I feel like the most recent time you could reasonably get an nvidia *80 GPU at the store for a normal amount of money was almost a decade ago.
- delecti 8mo agoBut that's a tautology. The Nvidia *80 GPU's MSRP has been unreasonable for that long (1080 launched at $600 May 2016, which IMO was already excessive). But there was a window as recently as fall (3-5 months ago) where you could get most PC parts at MSRP. Granted it was a pretty short window, before the last dying whispers of crypto and COVID induced scarcity were overtaken by the surge of the AI bubble.
- selectodude 8mo agoThe 7800GTX was $600 too. And yeah, fall is when I got my RTX 5080. It was still $1000 and I had no idea how lucky I was when I pulled the trigger. Still felt like I was trawling discord bots though to get a founders edition.
