Honestly, I'm just keeping my money in my saving account. No way I'm spending my hard-earned money on overpriced stuff, I can wait a while longer, and I'm considering a Steam Deck as my daily driver. Not a beast, but not excessively priced either.
Steam Deck is awesome. Highly recommend, especially the OLED
Same. I'm happy with my 7900XTX that I bought in 2023.
These days I only use Amazon for small things, and lately have decided to go back to individual specific websites for whatever it is I need. There's hardly even a price difference at this point.
I was looking to get a 7900 XTX, and then once the 5090 released all the sellers jacked the price up on the 7900 XTX to about $1500 USD
Naturally.
I'm not gonna lie, it's really tempting to just sell my 7900XTX for basically what I paid for it ($1000) and pick up a 9070XT for $600 instead. Easy $400 that I can throw at my motorcycle project.
Agreed, I’m pretty content with my gtx 1660 and steam deck.
As much as I want a high end gaming PC, I’m fairly happy with the combination of ps5 for the heavier stuff and steam deck for everything else + emulation (including some switch) and streaming from the ps5 to SD for cozy gaming. I realize this is not a cheap combination by any means, but for the same price you’d get a PC that’s just barely above the ps5 in ability. I’ll invest in a PC further down the line
