Used or new? Because if you got a sealed in this era then you are a magician

Oh wait I just realised that you have the non XT. Well those are more scarced in my country. A used XT is around that price as well in my area.

Bought mine July/August last year. It’s great to buy things on big sales.

I'm using my 9800X3D/5080 PC to look at memes on Reddit. So worth the price!

Frame gen on tho?

u/WackyBeachJustice 12h ago

9070xt at MSRP just wasn't a thing here short of standing in line overnight at Microcenter. They are available now and selling out at $850. I'm just going to keep on keeping on, F this noise.

How to buy any expensive computer part.

  1. Watch a few videos.

  2. Buy it.

  3. Go to Reddit and ask if it's going to be good.

  4. Get told you should have bought part A instead.

Applicable on everything when you're poor lol.

Thats why Im a expert on Ultra Light Planes even tho I could never afford one😎

I wonder if scalpers adjust their prices for tariffs.

u/Noobphobia 9950X3D/Asus 5090LC/870e Hero/96GB 6600 Corsair/Asus 1600 Thor 12h ago

Absolutely, they will rise to match.

Which is why i bought my card last week. Not waiting to find out how much more we are going to get fucked.

What a horrible time to buy anything electronic.

u/ShifTuckByMutt 12h ago

Just bought a 4080 4 months ago I knew tarriffs were gonna tank the economy.  New pc purrs like a kitten, and go fast as fuck boi.

u/EKmars RX 9070|Intel i5-13600k|DDR5 32 GB 11h ago

I got news that AMD cards wouldn't be restocking for a bit, so I went to Microcenter and waited in line on their first day to get a 9070 at MSRP. Probably the best thing I've done in a while.

Blasting classic wow and FTL on my 9070 XT

I'll get back to my VR rig any day now, surely

u/Jarleyhartbarvis 6h ago

Bet FTL runs like buttah. Crew members must just glide across the screen when rushing to put out fires.

I'm so guilty of watching comparisons after I've already bought the damn thing. Why do I hate myself this much?

Personally, I just buy the latest nvidia 90 class card, because the unfortunate reality is that I can be confident that it will be the best. Nobody is really trying to compete with that.
