I hear you about the 3070. I also thought I might get a 3070, but I will probably end up getting a 3060 Ti at well above MSRP, even if the price is lower than it is today.I felt bad buying a GTX 980 back in the day for $500. Previous to that had bought either sub $250 cards, or sometimes the $300-$400 cards. But I've gotten to a point where I am typically happy with rigs for several years instead of upgrading something every year, so now I just get whatever top card I can for the budget I have available for that card. And yes I still feel a bit dirty for paying $650 for a 3070, but I had budgeted about $700 for a new card hoping for a 3080 FE, but we all know how that went.
Maybe very few hit $400. Most are still $500-650.Great news is, prices are coming down. Feb 2021 you were spending about 700$ - 900$ on a 1080 TI. Now they are starting to hit the $400 on Ebay.
October 2020 I bought a 1080 TI for 315$. We are getting back to that level.
Eye-opening...isn't it.Before the world went mad with greed.
Prices are still kinda stupid in the sense that they're now all over the place. It's like half the market hasn't gotten the message yet. I just sold a 1080ti for $650 today while an RTX 3080 FE on stockx (new) went for $1200. Prices on the high end cards are dropping a lot but the low end cards seem to have stabilized for the past couple of weeks so you see stuff like $1100-1200 6800s right next to $1200 6800xts and $1300 6900xts.Great news is, prices are coming down.

Yah, I saw that also and I was tempted, until I remembered that a member of this forum, I forget just who, did a comparison of the 3060 and the 3060 Ti, and he pointed out that for not that much less money, you got a much less powerful card, although it had 12 GB instead of just 8 GB. When I looked at the 3060 Ti Shuffle, it was a bundle with something I don't need.This is encouraging. I know the rest of the new egg shuffle is inflated but this is the first time I have seen a shuffle this close to MSRP.

Nice deal for a 3070!
This is a market opportunity that just cries out for Intel, IF/WHEN/EVER they can get their act together.It is not just modern GPUs, old GPUs are getting out of hand too. even very old GPU like the 6800gt and 5900 ultra are getting out of hand, 3dfx cards are just plane nuts. a voodoo 3 used to be 15-20$ all day long, now they are near 100$, the voodoo5500 even worse, once a 50$ card is now going upwards of 500$
even less old cards like the 7xx and 9xx line are getting out of hand.
