Jason Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 The GPU shortage is over. The GPU surplus has arrived! ARSTECHNICA.COM In 2021, it was nearly impossible to buy a GPU for a decent price. Not anymore. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Boo-yah! And honestly I wouldn't be sad if they delayed the 4xxx series to next year while the "correct the pipe line". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 someone buy me a 3070 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Just as the 40 series is expected to launch. As someone that was trying to buy a 3080 for most of the pandemic, I've long since decided to wait on a 40 series card. Hopefully they're worth the wait and not quite as hard to get.

DarkStar189 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I've been out of pc gaming for at least the last 4-5 years. PC is totally outdated at this point. Those pandemic prices were ridiculous. Maybe now I can start thinking about it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marioandsonic Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I got a 3060 earlier this year, as well as upgraded my CPU and motherboard last year. I should be good for a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema- Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I'd actually still be happy with the performance of a second r9 290. Not sure if I'd have to upgrade my psu though which would throw a wrinkle in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre801 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Might finally let go of my 5700 XT, but it still handles 1440p like a champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a slightly suboptimal AIO placement just so I could use a big boi and 100% of my storage is on the mobo because fuck cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mclumber1 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 The desktop I built last year is still rocking a Ryzen 5 3400G with integrated graphics. It does the job just fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzzzle Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I think I want to save up for a gaming laptop. I've moved like 3 times in the last 18 months and probably will again in the next month. Lugging around a giant PC is starting to get tedious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
