A 9 year old CPU and a soundcard from the same era?First run at an AMD build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rR67JM
I am super confused by that build. DDR3 ram, super old CPU and motherboard, and then a $1600 GPU. You can buy DDR5 4800 RAM for only $30-40ish more, easy, and I just bought an 12th gen i9 for $310.First run at an AMD build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rR67JM
Crypto, high price, video cards good for most games now. GPU market turned on a dime. Couldn't make them fast enough, then poof! 40% drop in sales. Huang building forts in his backyard out of unsold 4080's.People not spending $800+ would be the other major reason.
At this point its just the economy. People had no problem paying insane scalper prices for the 3000 series a year ago, no reason they wouldnt have paid msrp prices for 4080/4090.Crypto, high price, video cards good for most games now.

All the big players scaling TSMC orders way back.

except that most people dont buy a video card every year, and the 3080 generation was the first new rebuild for a lot of PC builders, so it makes sense that there'd be less uptake this year, especially considering the economy.At this point its just the economy.

may wanna avoid buying a 7800 XTX for now, this guy says long term use may be damaging cards due to thermal issues
he's german so i trust him on engineering and killing polacks

Or you could just plug in the Nvidia card correctly.If he's basing this off his own experience then I'd take with a grain of salt. When widespread issues rise up I'd be concerned.
Regardless, your choice is an Nvidia card burning your house down or a AMD failing.
