Well, time to look for used then. $549 for the lowest end card is almost what the highest used to cost
I guess my $170 1050ti will have to survive a bit longer, especially with current TDPs. My whole fucking computer uses 250W in games, monitor included
That was the launch price of the 980 back in 2014
(Adjusting for inflation in the US, $550 in 2014 would be $730 today. Thus, approximately the 5070 Ti price.)
There is no likely scenario in which I would pay $2,000 for a video card.
I’m sure there would be a few, surely? Multi-million dollar lottery win; finding an old USB key with a bunch of bitcoin; discovering an oil/gas reserve on your property; finding a suspicious unattended briefcase filled with unmarked bills; an unexpected inheritance from a previously unknown great-aunt, provided you spend a night in her haunted manor…
…yoy know, just those usual circumstances that happen to all of us!
No, and you probably wouldn’t need one either since very few people actually need that type of computation power today.
The only argument here is that you have a special use case.
AND 575 WATTS? Jesus dude that’s the most expensive space heater ever
Even I wouldn’t pay this ridiculous price, and I do animation (hence GPU rendering) for a living.
$2000… yea that’s a little ridiculous. That’s almost the cost of my entire build alone lmao
