I appreciate the hw unboxed and gamersnexus style videos, where they give us all the information in context, and we can choose what is relevant to us. It’s not for everyone but I like how they cater to enthusiasts.
Unfortunately, as someone who isn’t looking to upgrade atm, the only thing I get out of this video is that the current climate for GPUs is terrible with no relief in sight.
the current climate for GPUs is terrible with no relief in sight.
Not only no relief: it’s gonna get so much worse. Between the buying power of the dollar spiraling into the depths of hell and the tariff war heating up, this might be the last opportunity for a lot of people to buy cards for the foreseeable future. It’ll be years at the very least.
I was online when the 9070 listings first went live and had to fight not to impulse buy, which I was proud of at first. Then they instantly sold out and the more I think about it, the more I’m starting to regret it lol.
That’s just my perspective, though. Maybe with Americans no longer buying cards they’ll drop the prices internationally to try to boost sales… but the cynic in me knows they’ll boost prices even further to try to make up the difference.
this might be the last opportunity for a lot of people to buy cards for the foreseeable future.
That and my regret over not upgrading early in the covid era were the driving forces in my decision to build a new machine last month. I wasn’t expecting the 9070 cards to reset the gpu value charts. I was surprised when they did for a short time at release but they were still outside my price range. I was lucky enough to snag a used 6900xt at a good price which should be enough for my needs for at least a couple of years. Hopefully by then, the 9070xt will be well supported in linux and easier to buy.
