I've never been able to afford such an up-to-date card. I know it's not the latest and greatest, but it's the best I have ever been able to afford!

I had to pull the trigger based on price. I knew there was no way I would be able to get in on the MSRP level of the new cards. Too many scalpers.

One of my biggest regrets when purchasing pc components was not buying a 2080 two weeks before the 3080 came out. I ended up stuck with my rX 5700xt in my new build for like 2 years until prices came back down.

i mean during covid, 5700xts were extremely valuable for mining, why not sell it then?

[–] colourlesspony@pawb.social 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah, I think at the peak 5700 where $800-1000 while 3080 where like 2.4k. Things where crazy lol
