I just recently bought a 4080. Feels bad knowing I’m paying too much, but I’m upgrading from a 970, and I’m not looking to wait six months for maybe a 50 dollar price cut. Even though these 4 series cards should be cheaper, it’s hard to imagine prices really dropping that much. Do you guys really think prices will return to pre-Covid amounts? Usually once stuff gets more expensive it’s rare to see it go back to ‘how it used to be.’

PC shipments are at a 30 year low. You'd think they would lower prices to stimulate demand, but I guess they like prices where they are.

Its the same shit in the auto market. These companies finally got the reset they needed to realign supply/demand in their favor across several different industries.

My local micro center has about a dozen 4090 cards in stock from different manufacturers. Haven't seen it like that ever.

Really wish they would open one in Las Vegas, now that the Fry's has closed it's really BB or nothing if you want to look/touch something before you buy.

Do you know when? I was just in Microcenter in St Louis this afternoon lol. Usually went to the one in Cincinnati on occasion, but would certainly like one closer.

Not sure, but I assume soon. They’re hiring at the moment. That’s where I saw it.

30fps, but mostly was playing city builders and some GTAO the last few years, and mostly played that with a 30" 60hz HP I bought a decade ago
Obviously, the 4080 is noticeably better and I can play cyberpunk now

I figured out my area was the exact same when I was trying to flip computer parts during COVID. It was miserable sometimes trying to sell anything. Bunch of dumb ass mongoloids. Lol

Finally caved and ordered a new computer. Installing things now. Got a 4090 ASUS tuf OC or whatever it was called. It takes up most of the insides. Also i9 13900k and 4gb of ssd (7300/7000 thingy).
First notice. On first look, don't like win 11. Also all my programs and shortcuts are a massive hassle. Spent an hour now resetting passwords and getting shortcuts to work. Phone is spammed with so many codes...

Windows 11 is terrible. MS is still on the every other OS version bad™ program. My Corp has a high end contract with MS for services and I give our reps, who are really friends at this point "feedback" about it. They still love me from the Skype->Teams upgrade where we lost several important pieces of functionality for no reason: Teams just seemingly copied Slack rather than the strengths of their own product. Same thing with Windows 11: They copied as much Mac OS as possible seemingly, center taskbar and grouped taskbar icons and fonts and everything.
I may just skip RDNA3/4000 generation completely but the way things are sitting on shelves (you can walk in and buy one of any card at Microcenter at Houston), I would expect there to be price cuts or new products coming this year.
