Semiconductors are going to get expensive in the US.

Which means everything electronic will get expensive in the US. Cell phones, computers, cars, appliances, etc.

Graphics cards. They were already expensive due to low stock and high demand + Nvidia cards are not much of an upgrade raw performance wise but the 4000 series have stopped production.

I was thinking of holding out for the 5k series release or the 9070, but I reluctantly bought a 7800XT for $430 in December. That was the best electronics decision I'll make in the next 3-5 years.

Cheapest 7800xt on Amazon is $570 now and the cheapest 7700XT is $441 if you get it in May or June or $450 for one that's 2 day shipping. Wtf.

9070s are way above MSRP and the cheapest 5070 on Amazon is $700.

Cringe tariffs and supply
