-Sweet baby Jesus just make used 4060 TIs and 3070's cheap.
Both of those are long out of production. Only 3050/3060/4060.
One of the comments killed me - "5 years later, we have 3060ti with a 100$ discount. wowee"HUB review

If GPU makers can consistently market a lower-end product as a higher-end one, then it means that the market is not being serviced.
Yeah 9070 XT online stock has settled into roughly 7-10% less than 5070 ti. Regular 9070 is only about 10% less than that so value really isn’t there anymoreThe XT's been in stock at $720 but really anything under $800 goes quickly.
Supply has been OK but getting them at NVIDIA stated MSRP is basically impossible. Also they are pretty compromised cards - 12gb for the 5070 is already too little for the power of the board, and the 16gb 5060ti is just a weird combo of decent ram but underpowered chip.Supply of the 5060 Ti and 5070 have been OK, btw.

It is 1440p ultra when you compare it to 5060 ti 8gb
It is 1080p medium when you ask the street price
Running with the hare
Hunting with the hound
Despite all the brave talk of going after market share neither AMD (nor Nvidia) seem to be interested in selling to the gaming market. It seems to remain more of an afterthought
In case anyone has forgotten how we got here. Only this time there is no stimulus check or potential mining profits helping to defray the costs.I just saw an ASUS TUF 3080Ti on the Newegg shuffle for $2239. That should answer the question
So I visited our local (45 minutes away) Microcenter and was surprised to see a full compliment of 50 series up to the 5090 in stock on the NV side and 7900XT, XTXs, and 9070, and 9070XTs on the AMD side.
Most didn’t have prices I could see except for a 5080 which was selling for $1600 - then it made sense why they had so many in stock.
Checking the website and 5090’s are over $3K
The 9070 and 7900XT were an almost reasonable $699
I hope your seatbelts are still fastened, because there's no slowing down just yet:
I could care less about the AI sticker, I do care about that backlog.AI has become such a buzzword that AI could mean just about every server product they sell.
You know it takes people working jobs for companies like dell to ship billions of dollars of units right? And I would bet a lot you don't actually know someone that was truly replaced by AI. Don't even get me started on the crazy concept of AI disinfrancising artists either, AI has been a core part of photoshop since 2013 (content aware fill). Let alone all the streamers/youtubers using LLMs for comedic relief and for coding new screen effects and transitions.As if it wasn't enough that it destroys middle and working class jobs, steals and repurposes other people's art and empowers authoritarian governments.
None of us know where this is all going to end up, but it certainly is not a "crazy concept" to think AI could cause rampant abuse of other peoples work and put millions of people out of work. Now in the long term might be nice to not have to work so much, but society will have to adapt quickly to the changes.Don't even get me started on the crazy concept of AI disinfrancising artists either, AI has been a core part of photoshop since 2013 (content aware fill).
