Nvidia is resurrecting 3060 12gb, a 5 year old gpu.
Something similar happening in the smartphone industry. 4G-only smartphones are making a comeback in the $200-$300 range...Imagine buying a new 4G-only smartphone for $300 in 2026 which obviously won't even have a midrange processor as currently (but soon might change) only low end especially UNISOC SoCs support 4G-only capabilities...what a time to live in!
Did low end 4g phones ever really go away? I've been looking at them for a few years now and was always astonished that they never bothered upgrading to 5g.
Nope but they used to be priced reasonably but soon expect their prices to increase to 200-300 on average
My ship of Theseus PC is a hilarious combo right now: an i7-7700k paired with a 6900 XT. And it's going to stay that way until something dies. I refuse to participate in this market, no matter what special edition bullshit comes out.
Similar situation here. R5 5600X, RTX 3070, 32GB DDR4, and absolutely no incentive to upgrade. I wouldn't give a shit to upgrade even if we lived in a pre-AI, pre-COVID scalping market and everything was priced fairly like it was in the GTX 10-series days. But I certainly will not be paying $700 for a fucking M.2 drive or RAM kit. Fuck alllllll the way off.
I'm the same but with a 9070XT. The newer GPU is for driver compatibility or I'd still have a 3060ti.
Nice. For me it's an i7 7700k with 1080 ti that i upgraded a few years ago to n 8700k with a 2080 ti. Owned it since 2017 and it's rock solid snd good enough.
Keep going, my Ryzen 5 5600X will be cool again :)
Same for my 5800X
