    Current GPU prices are going to dissuade a lot of people from building new PCs, at least that’s what I’m seeing in my surroundings…

    Finding one … in stock … is a near impossibility

    Lots of cards are available. They just aren’t at MSRP

      the 7900xt/xtx were/are also decent products, tbf, but $1k for a single component was, and still is, a STEEP ask - outside the budget of most. the only difference is we’re used to getting fucked over on gpu pricing so $600 for a mid-tier card now seems reasonable by comparison.

      Ommmmmm…

      Really, meditate/hibernate for a few years before buying the current videocard. A generational lag behind will make your life easier.
