    Better release a bunch of articles about how Chinese AI is scary so we can keep video card prices high because our bosses invested our retirement fund into NVIDEA

    Meh; I’m happy with my 4090. Got lucky enough to score one on a discount on launch day. It’s going to last me well into the 2030s.

      I tried getting a 5080 yesterday, obv missed out.

      Then i tried to get either a 4080 super or a 4090, which seemingly everyone else did too as they all sold out.

      My 3070 isn’t cutting it anymore for me, i might just get a 7900 xtx or something as those are still available.

      I’m happy with my RX 6800 that I bought at scalper prices because I wanted to build a hackintosh 🙃 I hope it serves me well for another 5-10 years.

    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.
