So I FOMO bought an SSD and SD card when all this started.

Not regretting it.

…But now I’m considering hoarding a spare GPU. Is that nuts? I don’t need it, I don’t want to hoard, but If my old Ampere card suddenly dies, is it gonna take $2000 to replace?

    I mean, look what happened with the crypto boom and that wasn't overly mainstream companies. So not nuts imo. But maybe get a less expensive GPU to hedge your bets 🤷‍♂️

    Oh, I know. I bought my previous GPUs in the peak of cypto busts.

    But I need 24GB... My plan was to eventually buy a used 4090 when they get cheaper, or 24GB Intel/AMD card. But it doesn't feel like AMD/Intel are interested in big GPUs anymore, and the 4090 just keeps going up in price.

    The RX 7900xtx is 24gb and sells right now for around $900.

    This is an option.

    The problem is, while faster on paper, its not really any faster than my 3090, especially in spots where I need its performance most. It'd be a downgrade.

    I could get a second 3090, I guess, and have some redundancy in case one fails. But I'm on an ITX board with 1 slot.

    I'd be WAY more interested in a roughly equivalent 9000 series or Battlemage card, but alas, there is none.
