I was hoping to hold out for 6 series or whatever and has. If I panic jump, not sure what I should look at from my 3080, is like a 4070/80 ti even a thing you can still get, will a 5080 melt, not thrilled with just 16gb but better than my 3080 10.

Everything takes memory nowdays from the coffee maker onwards. Memory makes are going to pivot to whatever pays the most. But for the low low cost of whatever $$ per month you can lease computer time.

When the 6090 comes out at an 8000 price point imma feel like a king for swinging the steal that is the 5090 when it first came out.

It's worse than when retard bought his 1200watt psu and we mocked him until 5090 arrived.

Tonight was 3 hours of agony. Deciding if I wanted to drop 1100 or so. Come to find out the provantage sites asus prime for 1015 on sale was a special order with the nice small text that yes they may jack price up and confirm if you still want it. FUCKKK you.

Spend some time agonizing over card makers, kinda leaning asus evil as they are for their fancier thermal pad thing for longevity *maybe*. Get locked in on a zotach oc white or a prime for 1250. Prime turns out to be 3rd party seller w/ 6 reviews. The zotach I think was plastic like msi, power locked, and something else that made me leary. And ugly all white in my black case. Find a TUF for $50 more on bestbuy. In checkout, trying to get it to my area code and should be little cheaper tax than where it wanted to send it... poof deleted out of my cart.

Finally broke down, found a Tuf direct from asus for 1350. So after tax etc like $200 more than I was reluctantly going to spend already. But I'm not optimistic of horizon cards given current shit fuckery has so many layers of fuckery to it and lots of unknowns with the AI craze, I dont see it as being a short lived disruption as some other components were one year or another.

Just wonder when the delta will be to sell my 3080, 2 weeks, 3 months, a year? Hell might become priceless and I should hold onto it.

I would hold on to your 3080 in my opinion. I was glad I held onto my 3080ti when I had to RMA my 4090. Took almost three months to get a replacement from Gigabyte.

Funny your rma was gigabyte, same brand as my 3080 that's been janky. (LCD screen software doesn't work, search shows it's been an issue for years, and then the other hinkyness)
