Both of those are a waste. WTF do you need 24 gigs of Vram for? Why pay for some shit you will NEVER use unless youre a dev.

Oh I have a 3090 already lol, I got it from BBY a year ago or whatever.

I was just shocked seeing the pricetags on this shit being ~500$ higher than what I paid for a 3090. Fucking dark times out there in the GPU world still I guess heh.

Yea what the fuck lol

I wonder how long these prices hold? Like I can't imagine people are lining up outside Microcenter to pay 1800$ for a 3080ti, so does this shit just sit on the shelves now?

Someone will pay it, sure, but people lining up to pay ~$2k for a video card? Probably not. As you can see newegg has them still in stock for those insane prices or some dumb worthless bundle. And scalpers cant scalp them for more lol.

I remember when people thought I was insane to be paying almost $900 for a 6700XT about a year ago...

Aight boys, help me find a Sata female to psu adapter for this damn AIO. I can only seem to find the male adapters. I need the opposite of this.

Yeah, I just thought I would have a look and then said, nah. I will wait until Intel Arc hits in Q2 and see what that does to prices. $1500 for a 6800xt? GFYs BB and Amazon. Amazon I get, because shitheels can sell anything for anything but BB selling the same card for the same price? I guess that's just the MSRP now; if you can't beat the scalpers join them. Mean, launch 6800xt is down there lonely at $649, 3080 at $699. What could have been. /tear

4K games with large textures can use more than 12GB rather easily now, and nvidia doesn't have an option between 12 and 24.

I don’t think that’s the retailers setting that price, it’s the “partners” that are taking the base chipset, adding $5 worth of fans and lights, and marking the price up 50%.

Tariffs are a huge part of that. The chips are made in Taiwan and excluded from tariffs. The more of the board and board components that's assembled in China, the bigger the tariff. So if the chip goes on a Chinese PCB with Chinese cooler and fans, you're getting boned. This is a big part of why the ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI stuff is so fucking high.
