GPU Pricing is reaching LEVEL INSANE.

[@snaggletoof1927]

These prices are nuts. Guess I'll have to push the old GTX 1080 a little further than expected.

[@Darkhour717]

it is definitely best to wait

[@zacharydesalvo3612]

My problem is that if this keeps happening, you'll never be able to upgrade. Its just gonna be the same with every new generation. Unless amd makes their new 9070xts for only like 499 or 599

[@kaicluster6783]

literally in the same boat. Was thinking about building a new system, but with what's going on in the GPU department right now... I'll just get an AMD in a few months.

[@Darkhour717]

@kaicluster6783 I did find B&H had a number of 4000 series at MSRP i was able to grab the model i needed thankfully

[@SkittleManiak]

Same, my Nvidia RTX 2080 Super will have to do for now, because lord I won’t pay that much.

[@timburley7155]

I wasn't going to pay 1700$ for a 4070super and i knew the 5000 won't be in stock for months so I got the 7900xtx instead

Same lol

[@jakev1341]

For people like me eagerly waiting to upgrade from a 1080, this launch is horrible. Tariffs on the horizon, previous generation being completely sold out everywhere, and the new generation basically available to scalpers and people willing to pay double MSRP. Seriously considering jumping back to consoles for games.

[@Darkhour717]

I found B&H online had a new stock and was able to grab a 4000 series today

[@FableNet]

@@Darkhour717 any link?

[@BigDrewski1000]

The main reason that 4070 super price went up is because people are finding out through reviews & benchmarks, the NVidia 5000 series performance isn't actually all they claimed ithem to be. Personally I'm not gonna upgrade my rig for another while yet, and I'm running a 5700x & rtx 3070ti.

[@Darkhour717]

Very true I am still running a 3090 and do not intend to upgrade that as it runs great still

[@MD.20.20]

Got an open box RX 6800 Nitro for 330$ on Newegg little over a year ago. Got a Water Block on sale for around 50$. It beats a stock 4070 in Timespy and eats up 1440p high fps games at competitive settings

[@TheChemerik]

I'm really surprised we don't hear more people talking about this. How bad is it going to get before we have good supply of next gen cards?

[@CrucesNomad1]

I found the actual speeds about half what was advertised so knowing how to set your puter up is a must. I did buy the next step down to keep my system cool and still get good performance. Also finding certain parts is hit or mis. Dont settle folks some blazing fast stuff coming.

[@eutha6]

I was intending on building a new pc-but prices keep climbing everywhere and not in a hurry so will wait-even cpu's are rising in prices as if the US economy is somehow really fantastic or something

[@davidc5027]

People can sit around complaining about the prices, but these manufacturers are getting the money they are asking for.

[@Darkhour717]

@davidc5027 the price concern is not the msrp but the scalping that is happening charging 2 times or more for the cards. Mostly done by private or non retail sellers

[@elvo6217]

I'm trying to get a new B580 but I'm not spending more then MSRP . $250 is what it cost 250 is what I'm paying. I'm seeing $330 300 even $400 insane

[@oswaldjh]

Going by the exurbanite pricing from AIB vendors on the 5080 and 5090, the 5070 will be hundreds more than MSRP. I would wait for the mid cycle refresh to see what gets released. Or, wait until March when the Radeon cards are released and it appears they have a lot of stock on the shelves.

[@madgiecool]

Thank you for the FYII :)

[@turbo523]

Settled for an XTX for 825$. The 50 series is impassible right now.

[@Darkhour717]

It really is and actually Gamers Nexxus has a great video on reasons and amounts that shipped out to retailers and the availability was near 0 at launch

[@Darkhour717]

I am hoping it may settle down after a month or two as stock availability improves and launches finish up. This is still not as bad a s the 3000 series launch. If your in the US I was finally able to get a MSRP 4000 series card from B&H online

[@christopherderasmo5041]

If you can wait maybe September

[@GregObpar]

Not nearly as bad as you're making it out to be since you found a couple of reasonably priced ones

[@Darkhour717]

@GregObpar i did find a couple they are few and far between and it is definitely not as bad as the 3000 series launch. Gamers Nexxus has a good video about the quantities that retailers received on the 5000 series that goes much more in depth

[@TheJustinHit]

Prices are only insane because they're out of stock. Partially due to scalpers and partially due to how 5000 series is only ~15% better than the 4000.... If 5000 was 30-40% better, this wouldnt be an issue.

[@ultimateninja1704]

There are people selling the 4080 Supers for 1.8k now 💀 Also they're charging 1.8k - 2k+ for 5080s in Ireland I should've bought a 4090 6 months ago 😭

Ebay is a silly place to really look at, people can throw up whatever for whatever price. Who buys a 400 dollar garbage gpu that's broken?

At the 6min23s mark, an rtx 4060ti 8gb gpu is $612 and just below is an xfx 7900xt 20gb gpu for only $57 more at $669. Even if you don't like AMD, you can't deny it's a no brainer as to which is the better buy.

I decided to go team red from my 3080 10gb. 7900xtx for 1090 €. No way im paying 1200-1700€ for 4080-5080. Sapphire nitro+ vapor is just way better value and raster perf. Native 1440p is better to me than nvidias gimmicks and rt is useless until it works for less than 1000€.

people talked so much crap to me for buying a 4070 over waiting for a 5070 to come out when they were on sale for 10% less than msrp on newegg, now I feel validated in doing so. 50 series cards are sold out on drop, and 40 series cards are almost triple the price the msrp, or sold out at msrp already.
