This time 3 years ago I entered a lottery on Newegg for the right to buy a 3090 at $2500. I won, and bought it. What a time…

So glad my 980gtx lasted me so long. Got a 3080ti with water block for $500 in 2023.

Got a Zotac 3080ti for 1100 with a trade for my 5700xt. Worth it to me. I’m running this card until it dies.

Got my 3080 FE for retail June 2022. They were still really hard to come by then.

Managed to get one of those bundles newegg sold with GPUS by spamming Apple Pay on my phone.

Stimy check covered my whole build in 2020. I won the newegg shuffle multiple times and bought my homies 3080s because – one love.

1,499.95 for a 3090 Founders Edition. Just walked into Best Buy and bought it one day because it was there. Could’ve listed it as a Buy It Now on ebay for 3k and sold within an hour… but I was mad that just 2 months prior I had paid 1200 for a 3070. Sold the 3070 for 1100 within 3 days of listing it locally, so that helped. The shortage was stupid tho, and I hope that anyone that kept their overpriced cards get enough use out of them to help justify what they paid.

I felt so smart for getting a 3080ti for 1499. Works like a horse still though

I had to sign up for alerts to be able to buy my 3070ti at Best Buy for $750. That was, and still is, the most I had ever paid for a computer part. Luckily I was able to sell my rx 5700 (not xt) for $500 ($200 more than I paid for it) to ease the pain a bit.

Wasn’t this during the bitcoin mining wave?

anyone remember the paper launch of the 3070ti FE? I was online refreshing the Best Buy website waiting for the on-sale time. The card went from coming soon to out of stock in an instant and like three people reported being able to buy one.

I paid 1650 for my 3080 to (sold my other gpu so final price total was 1100)
I got my use out of it and glad prices came down. Although I do NOT regret paying that price

I upgraded to a 3080 for $200 through EVGA step up. Brings a tear to my eye.

I was on a GTX 1070 at the time, didn’t have a real reason to upgrade… Definitely wanted to upgrade, but the shortage just made me kick the can down the road (currently using a 2nd hand GTX1080… Just forgot to change my flair)

I bought a used 3070 off OfferUp for $600 in 2021

3 years ago, I almost pulled the trigger on that 3070, at that price. I’m just proud that my 1070 still managed to hold a couple of more years before I got a 40 series.

RTX 3080 Ti outperforms RTX 2080 Ti by a significant 25%, crazy how people paid that much, could have gotten a 2080ti for half the price
MrTriggrd
i paid around $1800 for a build with a 3060 ti

People were paying 300-400€ for a 1080 lol

Yes don’t remind me :(. Built my first PC at the height of Covid PC pricing. Paid way too much for my little 6600XT

1800 for my brand new, from ASUS, 2080TI a month before the 30 series was announced. Got both lucky and unlucky

I paid 800 euro for my RTX 3080 *at launch.* I had to wait a month for the order to fullfill, but my god, the fact that the next year was Chip shortage and those insane prices. I was so freaking happy I wasn’t part of the people that wanted a new one.
