That's why I upgraded to an iPhone 17 from a 14 last week. Figured I might as well upgrade now before they jack the prices up. I can't see the iPhone 18 line being anywhere near current pricing also.
Yeah, I think I'm done with this shit for a while.
My current rig has a B550 AM4 board and 5800x3d with 64GB that I bought in 2022. Last month I made a snap decision to buy a 9070 XT, because who knows when GPUs will skyrocket again due to the RAM situation.
This will keep me going for many...
I also picked up the PowerColor Hellhound 9070 XT for $639. Thought I should jump on it now before the prices get slaughtered by the current RAM situation.
My gosh, that looks absolutely stunning. I remember playing the original 20+ years ago and getting stuck. Never finished it. I'll pick this one up on sale though.
Honestly, WTF is going on? Why do so many people need brand new video cards these days?
I remember my old cards: 8800GT, GTX260, GTX970, 1080ti.... They were all so easy to get from all partners at any time, even on launch day and the days after. What is driving this insanity?
