Im getting house content insurance next month because of it. Replacing my pc is basically cost of a small car now.

Above MSRPs that are already ludicrous to start with.

Early in the summer I bought a card @ $100 above launch price. Today, that card is $70 more expensive than that.

5090s were always a luxury item, but the prices of mid to low range cards is a tragedy for budget pc gaming.

I'm still running my RX6600XT that i got 5 years ago, i had a B580 for a few weeks but one of the fans gave out and started making an annoying grating noise and also was heating up way too much so i sent it back and was considering getting a RX9060XT for the past 6 months and kept putting it of and now i guess i'll go fuck myself.

Also would like to thank every miserable Datacenter motherfucker, their supporters and everyone in chip production and for all of them to take a nice slow ride in a submarine to the deepest parts of the ocean. FUCK ALL OF YOU!!
