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

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.

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.
