Reply to comment by breaditbans in Chipmakers Struggle With Inventory Buildup On Pandemic Demand Correction by Genevieves_bitch

There's obviously none for free, but you can get top in cards for HUGE discounts over just a few months ago.

Yeah, “huge discount” from pandemic overpriced MSRPs. In most cases you are still overpaying considering what were the prices pre-pandemic.

Chipmakers want to keep inflated prices and now crying that no one is spending so much anymore. Sell 4080 for $699 and there will be no inventory buildup issues.

Yup. This. I'd love a new GPU, but wages are low and price increases on everything this year were absolutely sinister.

Lower the price, and I could be convinced, though. I use GPU's for work, and for play, so it's usually something I stay on top of.

3000 series maybe. The entry 40 series card was 1200 last I checked. I'll ride this 3070 out for awhile, lol.

Snagged my evga 3090ti for $700usd below its release msrp (fuck jeff bezos but god bless amazon discounts). That same evga card is now $4000 on amazon for some godforsaken reason, but it’ll last me at least 10 years
