    Okay, I know there are people reading this with RTX4000’s and 5000’s who haven’t sold your old GPUs. Help the community out. Looking at marketplace and Craigslist there is nothing. Just scalpers. Marketplace was how I was able to get into PC gaming.

    Not looking forward to cars costing ~100k in 2035…

    Ah, finally some good European prices in the US, I hope your orange God emperor users the taxes he imposed on you to fund some universal health care for you too!

    “Maybe I’ll upgrade my 3080, it’s been 2.5 generations.” I said with an ignorant smile. (I did not upgrade and most likely won’t this generation)

    to think I felt bad paying under $499 for a high end card a decade a go

    You think GPU prices are bad, you should see car prices. Pray you only need a new GPU and not a new or used car.

    İt actually does in Turkey

    Here in my country a High end GPU like 4090 or 5090 cost more that some motorcycles…
    Like 8 months of minimum wage without spending any penny.

    Man I always seem to get really lucky buying new gpus, first gpu was a 2070 super I got on sale like 2 weeks before the covid crash, then I got a 4070 ti super for like $850 about half a year ago.

    Dodged a huge bullet when i decided to buy my 4070 Super in November last year for $559.99

    I’m stuck with my 1080 until it dies. And then I guess I’m just screwed. Priced out of parts.

    $5000 cards are going out of stock in seconds, let that sink in.

  13. Cuber-sub30

    I’m so glad I bought mine over Black Friday for $740

  14. did you look at car prices recently ? xD

  15. JayDKing

    4070 ti super has been scalped into oblivion unfortunately, look at the 5070ti instead.

  16. HumbrolUser

    With some luck the 5090 prices will go down a bit. 😐

    I guess I’m starting another playthrough of Skyrim again.

  18. Noobphobia

    I mean, the good gpus are definitely the price of a cheap used car already. Haha

  19. Roman_of_Ukraine

    He thinks the car will cost the same, hilarious

  20. DuelMaster_Daddy

    Damn this is wild. Good thing I upgraded last Black Friday.

    GPUs cost the same as a car, cars cost the same as apartments, apartments cost the same as houses and it goes and goes.
    It’s been impossible to afford anything these days specially on a third word country where things are worse and usually costs 10x more than the USD MSRP/street price

    People look up the program “Lossless Scaling” on Steam and use two gpus. Add a used gpu to your current rig. you surprised.

    I have 2 x 5700XT, and i’m able to get better performance than a 4070. You may also need to get a bigger power supply. But all of that is still way cheaper than new gpu prices. You can get a 5700XT on Ebay for $125 to $150.

  23. BigCryptographer2034

    They do, well used one, but still, it costs more then my first car

  24. Dickenson9

    Debating on upgrading from my 3060ti to a 4070

  25. Benevolent__Tyrant

    I got a 9070xt on amazon for $700USD. Smokes both of those GPU’s for half the price. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I know there are folks out there who treat PC building like in maxxing a DnD character. But I am getting 150-250 fps, ultra everything, often RT enabled. Thing shreds. And yet someone out there is paying more than my entire build budget for an nVidia GPU because marketing.

  26. Jaded-Citron-4090

    I think you forgot new cars are 50k+ for a base model

  27. Shinonomenanorulez

    tfw i paid less for mine with the inflated prices of chile(the switch 2 will be almost $700!)

  28. Poopzapper

    Don’t worry, the cost of cars has also massively increased, so it probably won’t happen.

  29. Insane_Unicorn

    Meanwhile 5070ti is down to 900€ and 5070 to 600€ in Europe. Who would have thought we’d see that day.

  30. SirSnuggsalot

    Buy a 3080 those things are awesome

  31. 69relative

    Uve been “saving” for two years and u don’t have $1500? What have u been doing

  32. aflamingcookie

    4070ti for 1300$, now i am no longer grumpy i just paid 540 euros for an rx 7800xt lol.

  33. Boulderdrip

    damn…. i got my 4070 for $500 two years ago

  34. DownByDog

    Genuinely? Get a 3060. It works just fine for just about anything somewhat casual. High end games, video editing, streaming, no problems. And it only costs like, 300-400. The price difference is insane.

    As a European, I welcome Americans to the great world of taxes, tarifs, and offloading the expenses to the end customer via margins.

    Enjoy your stay and get comfortable because you know what’s great about these price rizes? Once they go up, they never go down. Ever… Even if tarifs are deleted from existence, businesses will just eat up the extra cash. Because, well why would they reduce prices if they can just have more money? Money’s great. As the Orange man has stated, you are raking in billions and billions on tarifs.

    He just failed to mention that it’s not YOU who gets that money. In fact, you will also give him and his palls more money.

    Oh, and yes, whatever you are paying, we will be paying 30% on top of that…at minimum.

    It’s great !
