    I had to buy 3070 ti at scalped price. Ended up paying £700 for it. I hate myself for it but the prices didn’t shift for months after and my gtx 1080 kicked the bucket. No way in hell am I buying anything this gen. My wife’s 1080 is going for now, maybe we’ll get 5080 if it’s not a rip off.

          Thats only nvidia though. Amd seems to still be trying to compete with nvidia some way or another

            I wouldn’t say so, they also seem to have abandoned the gaming segment and nowadays are playing more or less ball with NVIDIA while trying to improve their AI stack so that they can get a higher chunk of the data centre business.

              Absolutely, AMD is very focused on Datacenter/AI now. They just presented their next gen AI system MI300X which made AMD stock go up significantly, and on the CPU side their server CPU Epyc is where the big money is at.
              That said AMD is still into gaming hardware because they work with both Sony and Microsoft on making new consoles, what we get on the desktop from AMD, is probably mostly derived from that on the GPU side.

                  Yes, that was a very impressive win. Intel/Nvidia has usually been the preferred solution when power efficiency is important.
                  But now AMD is competing well in that segment too.
