Question are video card prices headed down yet?

That NE doorbuster was a joke. They had 15 or so cards supposedly. I saw the counter say 11 left and it would not do anything when I clicked add to cart at 9am on the dot. Figure bots got to it.

Figured it'd be something like that.

It's funny how there are Newegg BF "deals" on RTX pro 6000 for $8000 instead of $8300 and G.skill 64GB 6000 for $570. The former is actually the fastest gaming card and 10% faster than 5090.

It's a version of the old bait and switch. Cheap viral advertising, and gets people on their site that might not otherwise visit.

It is good to see a temporary return to more sane pricing for many GPUs. Unobtainable deals not withstanding.

I stopped by Microcenter and they had a bunch of those gold plated Asus Dhahab Edition 5080s for $1900, but no 5090s. I wonder if anyone actually buys these or how they clear the stock. The people who would pay double for a gold plated card would also want a 5090.

Speculation that AMD is going to raise prices on 8 GB models by $20 and 16 by $40 and could go higher later.

I wouldn't be shocked if they continue to increase going forward. You know it is bad when Nvidia is making their board partners source their own memory instead of requiring the board partners to purchase it with the GPU dies like they previously did.

If you need a video card, now is probably the time to get it as I doubt they'll be getting much cheaper.

OpenAI simply totally screwed the entire end user base over by pulling the garbage that they did, and we'll be seeing the effects for a long time going forward.

-And when the whole AI thing implodes everyone will be too skittish to make luxury purchases too. Market's gon b effed for a long while I think.

I see a lot of 4090 coolers on ebay for less than $50. This is from all the Chinese datacenter conversions. I might pick up a few, they would make cool decorations and wall hangings.

It may even be possible to slap these on a 5090, the card designs are very similar.
