Graphics card prices are out of control

>supply normalizes
it will for a month or two. Then the spec gases will run out because bad vlad is fucking up Ukraine and the chip shortage will continue.

>I, a singular person, was able to acquire this extremely limited, high-demand product! Why can't everyone else (millions of suffering gamers)?
typical NPC mindset that can't comprehend there aren't infinite resources in the world so everyone can have all things equally.

someone explain the evga queue thing to me please

>buy 3080
>runs games just as well as a 1080 because everything is an unoptimised pile of shit nowadays

nothing normalizes you dumbass, dollar and euro are fiat currencies one step from collapse and now that russia is out of swift shit will become worthless in less than a year. you will be lucky to buy a loaf of bread when ww3 hits in fall
we will be back in the 50s without pc's or power if we're lucky. if not, the world will be an irradiated wasteland than you can play fallout for real

>how do queues work anons?
chinese detected

Its ganna get a lot worse with fuel prices skyrocketing

If you didn't sign up to it a year or two ago it's completely irrelevant. They don't let people sign up to it they've just been filling out the requests as available for the part few years. It's a years long wait list.

I might as well sign up just in case how do I do it

I really really want to play vidya at 120-144 fps 1440p more reliably.
Would it be worth to sell my 5700xt to get a 6700 or 6800xt if by some miracle i get one for msrp or close to it?
If worst case scenario I can always just settle with 1080p144 until better alternatives come out anyway. It really isn't that bad.

>30x0 fags will seethe
Why should I? If Lovelace is really that good then I'll just upgrade my 3080.

guess i'm glad i upgraded when i did, then. just ordered the last of my parts today. will have vidya and RGB in my ww3 bunker.

I want to build a pc but the GPU is the only component I can't find for a reasonable price

The world has been fucking nuts for a few years

not that user but it might be closed. go to evga.com and make an account, then go to "My Notifies" in the account drop down. that's the page that controlled the queue system for me and might have links or info about queuing for first time users. it really was a long wait: signed up 10/20 and got the card 2/22.

not true it died with a whimper come 2021's inauguration

>3060ti for MSRP

Its the weakest of the family besides the base 3060 but it still plays Elden Ring perfectly

>rtx 3060
>$400 clean
It's all about who you know. Just like getting a job.

The world really did end at 2012, and this has just been hell all along.

>Its the weakest of the family besides the base 3060
its stronger than the 3050

I think we got hit by a ghost meteor

This is hell. No doubt about it.

pc gaming is a scam even before the scalpocalypse

3060ti is the one that stands out and dangerously close to 3070. 3060 is just a 20XX series and 3050 is a joke

Gpus are crap unless you have a good mother bored, and cpu

Why do retards always overlook cpus?

1070 is still good
im not sure if i just wanna keep the 1070 and get a ps5
or get a 3070 or a new prebuilt
a new prebuilt thats worth it is like 2k tho
thats way too high
could also get a steam deck
steam deck seems shit tho honestly lol

is it weird that the game i'm most looking forward to playing on my new PC is an emulated BOTW2?

I'm excited about triangle story

not hard my 1070 does that on max
and its a 6 year old card
your 3060 ti probably beats me in halo infinite tho
thats the only game i can run smooth
i can if i put it all on low with res scaling on
but its ass
sucks it was ultra 80 fps for the first 3 missions
