Message: [QUOTE="Derealized, post: 186059, member: 5062"] I might really have to consider one of those, at least for 'long term'. I'll keep an eye on prices. If things don't look hopeful for this year, i might get a used 1080 TI, a used one can be found for around $200. Even if it is only an 8gb card, i am currently using an 8gb RX 580. So... almost anything is an upgrade from here. I look at as like a placeholder, it'll keep me going, without costing too much. Won't set me back too much, so i have more for the "final upgrade". [automerge]1745800513[/automerge] There's a bunch of reasons why the costs are so high right now, and what really sucks about that too, is that manufacturers have gotten used to this, they charge what they think people will pay. Combine that with all the scalping. It's just beyond brutal. I know what things *should* cost. That's what gets me, i just cannot force myself to pay what i know is excessive compared to what it's supposed to be. That's why AMD does so well, and why i appreciate Intel getting in on this market, because Nvidia is pure greed when it comes down to it. Even if their cards are good. They need to drop this overpriced BS. I tried not to rant about it, but i did. Anyway. I'm not rushing it really, anything is an upgrade from where i am right now. I'm thinking if i take my time I'll get the best card for my dollar. I don't need a stack of old upgrades collecting dust because i keep getting different cards. I want to find the most powerful one for around $500, and hope the future offers more, when i have even more to spend. For people like me, the main issue right now is really supply issues, and re-sellers. I really hope things are better in the future, because before 2020, you actually got what you paid for. [/QUOTE]
