EVGA Hybrid cards are exactly this. AIO GFX cards. Not sure if others do it, but they are pretty sweet.
These look nice, I'll look into it later this year I guess when supply isn't complete dogshit, wonder how much noise they make in practice since they're still using fans and not purely water cooled(which is kinda weird, if you're gonna put water cooling in there shouldn't it just be entirely that and not have a fan on the card directly?).

Feels like the quantity of drops has decreased, and the amount in those drops has decreased as well? Just from the chatter I see here, we're all boned.
Crone posted a number of pages back something from one of the notification discords:

Confirmation from Asus representative that "prices for Motherboards are going up in price right now, and another GPU price increase down the line, also that Chinese new year has
been bad for production and to not expect any major GPU drops over the entire of February going into march" its best to buy buy buy right now. as things are only going to get worse.


Guess we're starting to see it.

I mean, how likely is it that a manufacturer representative is gonna tell you to not buy? He probably likes his job.

Was able to add one to my cart yesterday but the price was $1000 for a 6800xt.

Fuck that.
Yeah, $650 is my cap for this shit. They can fuck off with anything more. You could all but buy an entire system for $1000 a year or so ago. $1000+ for just the video card? Eat my ass.

Problem is that the market has spoken at this point and is selling out at that price point. PCs being reasonably priced for 85% of the performance at 50% of the cost is pretty much dead now.

It's so weird how giving truckloads of money to loser nerds would have an effect on PC prices..so weird. Thanks, government!

Finally got an EVGA RTX 3070 XC3 Ultra. Got on their waitlist the same day as launch and my turn finally came last week. Wanted a 3080 but I didnt sign up for that right away so I doubt I'll ever get one. 3070 should be good though as I game at 1080p 144hz and wont upgrade my monitors for years as I love them. Was a nice upgrade from my GTX 1080. Bonus I didnt realize 1080s are selling on ebay for almost $400. I'll probably sell it and pay for 2/3rds the new card.

My 3070 came yesterday, and it's been great so far with my 1440p 170hz monitor, so you're gonna be more than fine at 1080p. It's a massive card though, literally over 6x bigger than my 1060 was, it barely fit in my Fractal Meshify C case as you can see in the pic. I guess I'm glad it popped before the 3080 in that sense, I wouldn't want to change to a new case after just getting this one. It's also my first time with all the RGB, and I kinda like it lol. It's not as gaudy as I thought it would be.

Looks nice. Yeah I was debating at sign up whether to go for the FTW3 or the XC3, but I decided to go with the XC3 because that FTW3 is just huge, and performance wise the FTW3 is only a hair better. I do like the RGB though, mine just lights up the EVGA logo on the side. Even my 1080 had more lights.
