    True. Maybe it’s gamers that need to learn not to buy at inflated prices from scalpers. 🤔

    Been thinking about upgrading my 3080 but based on some reviews 3080 was the last gpu that had best bang for the buck. No chance I am paying these ridiculous pieces for an inferior product.

      Yeah, I wrote a fairly popular bot in late 2020 aimed at helping people get gpus instead of scalpers and it managed to help at least a few hundred people. I encouraged everyone to not give in to the scalpers because fuck them.

      My 3070 Ti (which I got from a NewEgg lottery) died recently and I replaced it with a 4070 Super from OfferUp for $550 which is a pretty decent upgrade.
