I've never been able to afford such an up-to-date card. I know it's not the latest and greatest, but it's the best I have ever been able to afford!

Is there a reason you did not wait for like a couple weeks for the new cards to come out?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (5 children)

I had to pull the trigger based on price. I knew there was no way I would be able to get in on the MSRP level of the new cards. Too many scalpers.

Yeah, I'd do the same if I needed a card with the price being good, uncertain supply, and potential tarrifs. Been multiple generations since a GPU has had a launch where stuff is available, didn't have scalpers, and then price hikes.

No more evga around either to be able to reserve a spot online to buy at retail price without having to fight bots and camp out at stores.
