    Question are video card prices headed down yet?

    Well I am quite satisfied that my 2080 TI FE is perfect for my future needs. Not being a big gamer I did want to at least be able to verify satisfactory results with recent titles so I asked my daughter to install one benchmark game she knew of so I could test my systems performance. She...

    Question are video card prices headed down yet?

    Good grief, I guess I finally gave up on the long waited drop in GPU prices. Every time Ive done a search it appears the prices are still holding where they were last year this time. I settled on a dog gone 5 year old 2080 TI FE that was being sold locally. I got the price down from 400 to 325...

    Question are video card prices headed down yet?

    Do you think maybe they have been holding prices high to give their mining clients time to resell their inventories without major losses? Ive found a LOT of scamming going on facebook market place. People taking photos and descriptions of cards being listed on Ebay and listing them on Facebook...

    There are still people with fat wallets who buy up all the good deals so they can flip them for a profit. As long as there are buyers there will be sellers

    What do you think of an RTX A4000 16GB for 380.00 used. Found a seller with a few like new at that price. Looks like it might be good for video editing.

    Question are video card prices headed down yet?

    Of course. And if you didnt know it will only work with Display port 2.0 on your monitor. At least that was the way it was on my monitor which only has version 1.4. It didnt work at all on those ports with my LG so I could only use HDMI

    Question are video card prices headed down yet?

    Had it for about 12 hours, sent it back to B&H for a full refund. Not gonna spend half my life tryna get the damned thing to run even 10 minutes on Ghost Recon Gold. Hell my onboard Intel video plays it at full 1440 and max everything but the A770 would lock up in 10 minutes and my system ran...

    Question are video card prices headed down yet?

    Im not a big time gamer anyway. I decided on the A770 because I have a Canon 1dx Mark II that records video up to 4K and I figured the Intel card could do a good job for video editing software.

    Question are video card prices headed down yet?

    I finally gave up waiting for prices to drop and settled for an Intel Arc 770 Limited. Finally after 1 1/2 years of onboard video I will have a GPU to install in my new computer build. Now I will look for my next one in about 7 or 8 years.

    Question Has the consumer gaming GPU technology timeline lost it's way? Where are the AFFORDABLE 16GB VRAM cards to choose from?

    Facts are not political statements. You just choose to keep your head in the sand. You cant wish them away.

    When the Gubment hadouts stop, and people actually have to pay with money they earned, then prices will normalize. Right now people on EBT are eating steak and crab legs.
