FIVE THOUSAND?!

Jesus nun-fucking Christ, what an absolute scam. I bought a 1070 for $220 in the first few months after release. Guess I'll just have to hope it can run for another 10 years...

    Tell me about it. I also paid about the same for a 1070 back in 2016 and it lasted me all the way until 2022, when I finally decided to be a sucker and pony up the $1600 for a brand new 4090 at launch. Which as insane as that is, I'm glad I did because now 4090s go for about $3K used!

    If you didn't buy a new GPU by mid 2023, you're pretty much stuck with what you have for the foreseeable future, given how insane prices are now with no signs of slowing down.
