The thumbnail photo accurately portrays how large GPU’s are actually getting. Good luck getting that motherfucker in your case. Oh, and you’re going to need a small substation to power the bitch.
Good thing I got a RX 9070xt oc just last month. It’ll probably be held back by the cpu, but that will have to wait.
I did the same last spring when prices started normalizing and tending more towards msrp. Almost a year later and I’m still sitting on a now 11yo cpu with new a GPU.
I should have ordered RAM+mobo during bfcm but only managed to squeeze a CPU into the budget at that time. I’ll be sitting on the old CPU a little longer.
If only consumers… nope, it is literally everywhere
I know this is bubble related, and it sucks, but it is pretty impressive that the pc component market stayed largely the same price for the last 10-15 years at least. A high end PC in 2010 was anywhere from $1500-2000 and a high end PC until the recent component price surges was roughly the same, which means they got cheaper after inflation over the years.
I mean GPU prices never really came back down after the crypto boom.
Nvidia renamed their GPUs, creating xx90 SKUs to replace the xx80 so they could justify the price increase. The xx80 is the old xx70, etc.
Adjusted for inflation some of them did.
Sent this to my boss with a request for a raise. I’ll let yall know how it works out.
RIP
Just as I was planning to build a Linux Console PC, the RAM and GPU prices are going through the roof. What next will the world do to make me want to nuke it out of existence?
