If you aren’t willing it put your and everyone else on the roads lives at risk for more frames, are you even a PC gamer?

Same reason I still have an HDD; something always comes up when I have an extra couple bucks.

Buy GPU. Bike to work.

Now that i have saved enough money for a new GPU,
the GPUs cost 2-3 times more than my initial target I just saved up
EternalFlame117343
That’s why I dont have a car and just use public transportation

It’s always like that, isn’t it? And then my sugar baby wants new shoes and my wife’s boyfriend needs a birthday gift. Never stops…
Krejcimir
That + new brakes. Yay

I feel you. It’s always something.

sold enough PTO this fall to buy a new GPU at announced prices, now they’re all $300+ more, lol.

Tends to happen lol once I get anything worth having in a savings, something comes up to wipe it out. Feels like procedurally generated poverty mechanics or something lol

I’m getting new tires this week! 😀
Tire bros, pound it! 👊

💔 this but I bought a new gpu, then I accidentally bent a cpu socket pin and had no money

Hey, stay positive! If you have a powerful enough car, you can simulate the smell of a burnt power connector by doing burnouts!
deeptut
Those new tires can surely wait another year…
TopdeckIsSkill
I get you! I got tired to wait too!

Same thing here, I was so happy to have some extra money to upgrade my PC and suddenly my car broke down 3 times in a row in the same month

Mike is that you?

And this is why I’m slowly recommending folks to find any Intel B580 at under 350 dollars for anything new at that price point- its not scalped to high heaven

You got a dog by any chance? Once you sorted your car, can pretty much guarantee that your dog gonna do something to get a stupidly high vets bill. It’s the rules.

I’ve saved up for a brand new rig but now I’m worried about how much I actually need it…so I guess I’ll be saving for a while more

In B4 OP finds out that life is just a series of monkey paw wishes.
I had almost in my hands a 4070 Ti Súper, last year and since then couldn’t buy anything because expenses….

Tires are everywhere. Gpus aren’t
Grab an iron and go out hunting

How tyresome

I feel your pain. I replaced my furnace and ac a week ago, the next day I took my car into the shop and surgery tomorrow. I think someone knew I started looking at pc parts.

Used tires. 🛞
Plenty of car shops in USA.
You might be able to find tires you like for Less than new.

Congratulations, you’ve saved enough money to buy 4 new tires!
fillerbuster
I was on my way to a service appointment for my truck last week and I hit a curb and popped a tire.
Granted the two were at least related and one thing didn’t take away from the other, but it did make it more painful.
I am sorry but enjoy the new tires once they’re on.

I just started my fund again for like the 3rd time. There’s always SOMETHING that pops up and runs my pockets

Have you looked into used tire places? I had to get two tires this past weekend and I was able to buy them and get them put on for $120 out the door

When folks tell me “why are you complaining about forced features when you have a 5 year old card!”
Because I cannot afford a newer card that can reasonably play modern games.
Minimum I’d need to play the new Doom and not render my monitor pointless (1440p) is a 3080.
yes… I could… technically… kind of run it on my system at 1080p 60fps with FSR making each frame a vasaline slide-show… but I wouldn’t bother at that point, and I’ll just skip the title until it either gets improvements to make that 1080p scaling better or when I can find a decent deal on a newer card.
Also I have a minor point where, I’m not spending a ton of cash for incremental improvements. If I’m upgrading my video card, I’m expecting a 50% bump, at least, in performance if I’m dropping $500 bucks… And that’s not possible now.
I’m also not dropping more than $650 on a card… I did that with this video card, and I outright refuse to go higher than that for a PC Component I use for leisure – I could just play another game, for example.
The current pricing has literally made my hobby unobtainable, and it sucks.

Before I could afford all new tires, I would literally buy used tires for a 10th of the price for several years. It got me through some hard times.

My bank account still hasn’t recovered from an unexpected vet bill a year ago, because then the economy went even further into shit since then

Take public transport and enjoy a new GPU

Why do you need to buy tires? There’s tons of them around.
rainspider41
Go to a Goodyear dealership get the card for the good rebate and they have 6 mo. interest free financing. It’s a good car repair card because you get 6 months to pay it off.

The tires can wait 😈

Thanks for the reminder, I just got my car 8 months ago but I really should be putting aside money for tires.

1 Step forward. 2 step’s back.
This, among a million other reasons, are why gaming is infinitely more fun when you’re a kid.
Press F to respect. You’ll get there, we’ll be here waiting!
I’m sorry my friend
I was laid off last time I was saving for a GPU.
