Holy shitRemember when flagship 1080 ti was $700?
>anon discovers inflation
good thing my wage has gone up by 4€/hour since those days...
To be honest the 5090 is more like a titan rtx... that was also underpowered shit for premium money that got completely mogged 2 years later by mid range cards in all but vram
>>anon discovers inflationI'm not even gonna give this disingenuous nigger a (You)
>>748887172People now earn 10 times more money on average?
>>748888023Yeah thats not how it works sadly
>>748888068This is why I'm laught at retards who use "inflation" argument. People earn like 40% more, while top GPU cost 1000% more than in 2017. Considering inflation 5090 should cost around 1000$ not 7500$ when you compare the price-to-value ratio between years.
>>748888241Well the alternative to this is communism, so deal with it, chud.
>be exactly 30>feel like ive grown up exactly at the wrong time for gaming>15 years ago was living off parent’s money and a minuscule amount of summerjob money, wasnt gonna piss that away on a high end PC or consoles (my parents are cool though, got me a very decent mid range pc when i was a teen that lasted me years, dont get me wrong)>10 years ago was still in college, had more money but also told myself “ill save up when i get my first proper full time, well paying job and then my gaming life is set!”>fucking covid happens, but i am hired and in fairness save a lot of money because lmao lockdowns and no where to spend money>chip shortage happens in 2020, very luckily find a prebuilt with an RTX 3070, ryzen 7, with 16gb ram. once again mid-high tier, but it’s a massive upgrade from my current PC>still rocking that PC to this day>also, dont have that job any more because they wanted me to move. not gonna blogpost but basically i wanted to stay near family>also, PC components have gone fucking insane in the last 2 years>ALSO, consoles have at least 1.5x in price>so on top of me not having the higher income i was getting, and refusing to dip into my savings for “childish hobby stuff”, it is also now an unreasonable price i refuse to spendfuck me i guess. i do have a pot im saving for for a “big fuck off future-proof upgrade” but jesus i do NOT want to spend more than €2000 for a goddamn computer that will play newer games. it’s insane.
>>748888694All I'm getting from reading this is that you should really stop being a waitfag.
>>748888694i got a prebuild in 2019 with a 1660 super and i'm rocking that shit do this day, i'm a poorfag so if my PC chooses to spontaneously explode i'm fucked.
>>748888241Well the alternative is to be antisemitic, do you really want that?
>>748887000You don't need this. I have a build from 2021 that still maxes out everything I chuck at it 1440p / 165Hz.How high res and framerate do you niggas wanna go?
Got my 5080 for 600 bucks.
>>748888950You gotta have a backup PC build ready. I have 5090/9800X3D rig but if anything goes wrong I have a separate 3080/5600X build ready
>>748892232>I have 5090> if anything goes wrongyou just know it nigga, that gnawing feeling "if I push my nigga gpu too much it just might start spewing smoke" at the back of your mind
>>748892416Been rocking it for a year undervolted. It's chill as a cucumber. Only problem is the shit cable melting but there are monitoring/warning solutions for that.
>>748888863absolutely man. maybe im part jewish, i hate spending money kek>>748892416>see one graphical glitch in a game>oh god oh fuck is this it? please tell me that was a software glitch and not my gpu or whatever dying oh god oh fuck
Man, i miss the budget cards so much.
>>748887172$700 to $7000 is far beyond the rate of inflation, anon. Stop being silly.
>>748889385... answer the question steven
>>748888241>People earn like 40% moreha, yeah
>>748887000At least compare it to a Titan card and not to a reheated 1080
>>748887000I remember when the 5090 was $2000 and thinking that those prices were insane and would surely go down in the future.
>>748893961i hate those fucking fags. “it’s just inflation bruh, we were basically already paying $90 for NES carts so yeah it’s ok for gaming companies to price gouge now”. such a dogshit argument.fuck valve for making steam hardware a dumb ass inflated price.fuck microsoft, nintendo, and sony for doubling the price of their consoles.fuck every fucking chink in a RAM sweatshop for not churning out more hardware.fuck em all. make it affordable or go fuck yourselves im gonna start stealing.
>>748887000Man. When I made this computer, I got a 5080 because I just couldn't justify spending $2000 for a slightly better GPU. What a retarded error that was.
>>748887000You voted for this.
>>748887172Based retard.
I remember when flagship cards were $400
>>748887172>yeeeeeeeeees goy, things shooting up over 10x in price in less than 10 years is perfectly normalShalom
>>748888241Inflation is a red herring. Never ever engage inflationfags in an argument. They're retarded and don't understand economics
>>748887172What if I fucking killed you huh? What about that?
>>748888023Smart people, yes.
>>748897832>Other people invented technology that allows me to be more productive>That means I should get paid more instead of the people that made the invention!You get paid for the value you create, not the quantity of stuff you achieve.
>>748898065>y-you see, if you s-sell 2 cars you c-can't expect to get p-paid for bothWhat the fuck am I reading
use case for a 5090?
>Ryzen 5700x>32gb DDR4>1660xthow much further can I go on without upgrading?
>only 3 left in stockDoesn't matter since, evidently, bestgoys buy them anyway. Prices will keep ascending into the stratosphere forever.
>>748901231AI slop, both in and out of game.
>>748887998Woah, that's enough to get 5070!
>>748887000Holy shit remember when the corrupt piece of shit Democrats and Republican Presidents hadn’t started multiple wars on the opposite side of the planet and done so much deficit spending that they cut the value of the US Dollar in half in just over a decade?THERE IS NO WAYTO VOTE OURSELVESOUT OF THIS PROBLEM.
>>748887000Got my 5090 when it was 2k feels good, this shit will get worse once China eats Taiwan and mutts will get a full blackout.
who caresthe 5090 was always a tard card with red flags large enough to make a sail out of
>>748901231AI pornography
>5090$4k on sgw
>>748887000I'd only buy this if I wanted to run local models
>>748888241>>748887172Why the fuck are you morons talking about inflation when this is a demand spike disconnected from inflation entirely? You're not buying a gaming GPU when you buy a 5090 anymore, you're buying an industrial production tool during an era of huge economic expansion. >but that is also inflationI hope you get cancer and have to look your mother in the eyes as you die.
>>748904641Inflation is when prices go upSpikes in demand cause prices to increase. It's specifically called demand pull inflation
>>748905179Obviously. But no one is saying that shovels and picks being more expensive near a gold mine is a product of inflation in any casual context. AI is the gold, the 5090 is the shovel. It is expensive because a lot of people want shovels right now and gamers are at the back of the pack. It isn't a product of typical inflation via money printing.
>>748887000So it's officialy worse than crypto crisis now?
