Comment on After Micron's greedy decision, SK Hynix could also exit consumer DRAM and NAND business

So I FOMO bought an SSD and SD card when all this started.
Not regretting it.
…But now I’m considering hoarding a spare GPU. Is that nuts? I don’t need it, but If my 3000 card suddenly dies, is it gonna take $2000 to replace?

I mean, look what happened with the crypto boom and that wasn’t overly mainstream companies. So not nuts imo. But maybe get a less expensive GPU to hedge your bets 🤷♂️

Oh, I know. I bought my previous GPUs in the peak of cypto busts.
But I need 24GB… My plan was to eventually buy a 4090 when they get cheaper, or 24GB Intel/AMD card. But it doesn’t feel like AMD/Intel are interested in big GPUs anymore, and the 4090 just keeps going up in price.

The RX 7900xtx is 24gb and sells right now for around $900.

This is a likely option.
The problem is, while faster on paper, its not really any faster than my 3090, especially in spots where I need the most performance.
