I just checked pcpartpicker after the latest Linus video.

They also sell a 1660 TI for 700 Dollars now. I paid 250 Dollars two years ago during black friday for my spare pc. This is crazy.

 

[GymWolf]

Yeah they can fuck themself with these prices.

I wanted to upgrade at the beginning of the year but i'm gonna wait for the next intel cpu and ddr5 rams to come out, maybe by then the prices are gonna be less absurd.

 

[roosnam1980]

1050 for 360 ?

 

[SSfox]

I like how some praise games prices on steam but never talk about those prices haha

Because they are not always as crazy as now?!

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Still rocking my Red Devil PowerColor RX 5700 XT . Paid 489€ now they are selling it for 1199€.

 

[Soodanim]

Anyone want to buy my 970? £1000 ONO

 

[Hulk_Smash]

Because they are not always as crazy as now?!

Nah, admit it. PC gaming is simply not at as cheap as console gaming. I just built a new PC and had to throw my old graphics card in it because of how high the prices are. Without a new card I still spent $1300.

PC gaming is awesome, but cheap it is not.

 

[nani17]

There's a silicon shortage and mining has returned causing the massive increase in prices also let's not forget scaplers.

PS5 is going through the same thing in terms of scaleprs and shortage.

Of course is not as cheap, you wanna play better you have to spend more, i'm not a reality negationist moron, but these prices became exagerated in the last year or 2, before it wasn't as bad as now, i was always capable to buy at launch with a discount by searching on the web, never at full price.

 

[turtlepowa]

If i needed a card right now, i would go for a 1060 or 970 and wait for better prices. This is insane.

 

[Sybrix]

Fuck, my 1080 just became a hell of a lot more valuable lol

 

[DavidGzz]

I got a pre-built early 2020 for $400 with a 1660ti. 700 for just the graphics card is dumb, especially over a year later.

 

[nkarafo]

I feel like PC gaming is going to die soon if this keeps going long enough.

 

[Fuz]

Haven't played Cyberpunk 2077 yet because of this shit.

I refuse to spend that much for a gpu.

 

[JackNightblade]

so $750 for a asus tuf 3070 but $1100 for a 3060?

ok then

 

[Keihart]

i lucked out with a 3070 at msrp before the hike but i'm looking at some ryzen 9 now and godamn.
They look pretty future proof at least, makes me want to take the it on the chin and get over it.

 

[Thief1987]

Yeah situation on the market is terrible, i want 3070, but best deal that i can find in my country is something like 2,5x of MSRP.

 

[skneogaf]

Things won't change until these stupid wastes of energy currency go away by being banned.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Sold my 1080ti back in August for $380. Regerts.

 

[mcjmetroid]

Amazing the difference a year makes. I bought a gtx 1660 for almost nothing last year I had planned to upgrade but goodness not for those prices. I shall wait.

 

[HoofHearted]

I probably should sell my 1060ssc since it's just sitting gathering dust.

 

[NeonDelta]

So glad I got my 3070 for "only" £520 In January.

 

[Iced Arcade]

For a slight moment I thought about building a gaming PC but then realized that's almost hilarious

 

[prinz_valium]

Because they are not always as crazy as now?!

Last time they weren't crazy was 2016.
And even then they were high.

 

[Gamezone]

Is this happening because of scalpers? Someone please explain.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Is this happening because of scalpers? Someone please explain.

Scalpers and miners

Fucking leeches

 

[Gamezone]

Scalpers and miners

Fucking leeches

I see, but how can they handle this in the features? People will always be able to behave this way.

 

[MiguelItUp]

It's insanely bad man.

You know it's bad when it's cheaper to just get a prebuilt PC that comes with a GPU. It really is mind-blowing.

 

[Braag]

Yeah, if my GPU dies now, I'll just take a break from gaming than pay these outrageous prices.

It will be a while before we see the GPU market go back to normal.

 

[Hulk_Smash]

Of course is not as cheap, you wanna play better you have to spend more, i'm not a reality negationist moron, but these prices became exagerated in the last year or 2, before it wasn't as bad as now, i was always capable to buy at launch with a discount by searching on the web, never at full price.

I agree. Which is why I am waiting to get a 3080 at at least MSRP.

...I might be waiting a while.... ugh

 

[drotahorror]

I haven't been following releases of GPU's since December, but are they still putting up stock randomly on newegg/bestbuy and companies like EVGA/Zotac etc doing releases on their store or is that over?

 

[OverHeat]

4000 series is coming in 2022 so at least that make for a « long » time investment

 

[Spukc]

i can sell my rtx3080 for 4000 euros

 

[Lupingosei]

It's insanely bad man.

You know it's bad when it's cheaper to just get a prebuilt PC that comes with a GPU. It really is mind-blowing.

I did that 2 months ago. I wanted a new PC, mine was 5 years old and the biggest tech retailer here had an Alienware special.

Got it with a 3080 for an amazing price, that's why it was sold out after 2 minutes probably.

 

[Sybrix]

i can sell my rtx3080 for 4000 euros

Seriously?

Sell it, if you have a 3080 i assume you have a backlog of old cards you can use until later this year or next year when you can buy a 3080 for under $1000

 

[VFXVeteran]

I knew this would happen from the beginning because of the ridiculous shortages of the cards from the scalpers. I anticipated that it would stay this way for a long time. Many people thought they could pick on up in early January last year. I told my friends they were wrong. Now they aren't able to get one at all. With crypto going to 63k and no slowdown in sight, this will be the norm for several years. It also means that releasing any new generation like 4000-series boards is going to be far off. I'm guessing 2024 before we see next-gen GPUs.

 

[Spukc]

Seriously?

Sell it, if you have a 3080 i assume you have a backlog of old cards you can use until later this year or next year when you can buy a 3080 for under $1000

i doubt it i could prolly sell it for 5000 later this year when people want to game more

 

[VFXVeteran]

Not happening. This shortage is here to stay for some time.

 

[kruis]

I'm so glad I got a GTX 3080 at launch for a mere 700 euro.

 

[VFXVeteran]

I'm so glad I got a GTX 3080 at launch for a mere 700 euro.

I got scalped with a 3090 @ $2.4k. Now it's worth even more than that.

UPDATE: Holy moly! I just checked Ebay for 3090s and they are going for $4k+!! That's INSANE!

 

[Spukc]

I'm so glad I got a GTX 3080 at launch for a mere 700 euro.

way to rub it in hahaha

Working out for them, AMD managed to lose market share with their most competitive gpu line up in years

AMD's Share in GPU Market Down 9 Percent - gamepressure.com

AMD recorded a drop in GPU market share. At the end of 2019, it stood at 27 percent. A year later, it was just 18 percent.

www.gamepressure.com

While nvidia turned lemons into lemonade.



Doesn't send a good message to them that we want cheaper prices that's for sure.

 

[Derktron]

So glad I got my GTX 2070, it still has life in it. Plays 4K games very well still. Count your blessing if you have a card capable of playing modern games still. Because you won't get a chance to get one for a very long time.

 

[Derktron]

Scalpers and miners

Fucking leeches

And companies like AMD and Nvidia don't give a flying fuck about it.

 

[Kuranghi]

I just listed a 7770 2GB on ebay for £60, which is in line with its condition + the sold listings from the last month or so.

It was £120 in Feb 2012

There's one thats "opened - never used", with a damaged box and its listed for £150

[Hawking Radiation]

Around my area a 3060Ti is now $1399, up from $800 a few months ago before whatever the fuck happened.
Miners and scalpers can suck a fat one.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I don't understand why nvidia/amd simply don't sanction the stores that do this shit.
"you want to fuck over our customers so you can make a massive profit on miners? No cards for you."

Ps5/xsx might be hard to get, but at least stores have to sell them at msrp.

 

[ZywyPL]

After yesterday's GTC keynote I'm actually surprised NV cares about the consumer market at all... All the gaming GPUs they throw on the market are nothing but crumbs, they're not in rush tu supply the demand when they have orders of magnitude higher revenue to make on the enterprise market.

 

[Woo-Fu]

I like how some praise games prices on steam but never talk about those prices haha

I like how some people act like those prices are the norm.
