The entire GPU market has gone to shit.

It's unacceptable that there's new cards for sale (if you can even find one) that cost more than I paid for my 1080 Ti 8 years ago and have essentially the same amount of VRAM (12 GB vs 11 GB).

I thought that maybe the 9070 XT would be at least a reasonable option if I could get it for MSRP. Of course that launch ended up being another farce.

At this point it looks like I'm going to be riding my 1080 Ti until the bitter end. Sure, newer cards will wipe the floor with it, but I can't justify the current prices.

Ya I get the hype and the desire to get these cards but do you really NEED it? This is like waiting in line for days to buy the newest iPhone.

You can play all the latest games on the highest setting with the previous generation cards, and they are in stock too.

At this point buying the card isn’t about need. It’s just purely status symbol and people in this article are complaining like spoiled children that they can’t get exactly what they want the SECOND the card hits the market. Jfc.
