Even after stripping out the 15% sales tax the lowest priced card is still USD 2655.

I heard that MicroCenter had less than 300 5090’s for the entirety of the USA. Nvidia has taken the nintendo approach to controlling how much hardware they release.

My 3070 isn’t cutting it anymore.

Most games gobble up that 8gb like it’s nothing.

I have a 3060 12gb. It’s still good. My next card will be AMD though I think. GeForce experience is killing me

I’m contemplating getting a 7900xtx as it’s far more affordable, but apparently nvidia is also the better option for rendering and other tasks i use my pc for.
