1. Never spent more than ~$200 on a graphics card and thought that price was way too high for a low-mid level card.
2. Never will pay more.
3. The prices of these still completely unavailable, paper cards is utterly insane...along with damned near everything else (the insanity, not the prices) these days.

I could never get my uncle to pay more then $200 for gpu then again he still plays 20+ year old games, but now he see how some games look and still refuse to pay more then $200, but want something running better then 30 fps meaning 60fps and 1440p too.

that price range his will net him nothing that works in price range and he will never pay $400 for gpu let alone some of these prices.

If actual told him how much wattage some card now use he would be even less likely to every buy cards even if it was in prices range and gave him performance he looking for.


and my cousin well he just found out expsense switching to pc for gaming and how much more heat is genrated from those gpu that pull more heat then consoles do

It's gotta change hasn't it, PC gaming is dying or at least on hold at these ridiculous market prices & poor availability.....on hold will turn into death unless they do a 180 when availability returns, this will require some "ethics" from these companies to do that 180 when supply chains sort themselves out.....they need to do it.

I actually won a Newegg shuffle for this exact card, cost me $850, and was bundled with a $200 mobo, which I actually might use. I built a new PC several months ago, but due to the shortages, have been still using my EVGA 980 ti Classified. This is definitely not the card I wanted to buy, at the price, but I have been getting desperate in my desire for a new card. Overall, I consider myself lucky to get this at what is essentially MSRP.

Would be nice I wont count it, the industry HDD price never recovered from the "tsuanmi" all the years back, but even then they are still cheaper then SSD/NVME

I seriously will not buy any thing of cards cause there to stupidly priced and use way to much wattage. I dont even think my PC pull 450 wattage under full load Rough 200wattage for my gpu what another 140w for my cpu under full load? the mother board and fans and 2 ssd wattage negligible in comparisons. and yes i know if system pulls 350w you should 700 w psu and such. some these card pull power then whole of my system.

I'm not particularly concerned about max wattage and I certainly think the RTX 3080 performance is an impressive generational leap, but the price/availability is ridiculous for these GPUs......they can't leave it like this & certainly must do a 180 on the pricing when their supply chains allow them to churn out "unrestricted" volumes of these GPUs. I think we're talking the next gen of products though before supply chains, etc stabalise though....I think this gen is a lost cause.......but mark my words NVidia & AMD - do that mother f'ing 180 when your supply chains recover, for the love of........!
