Been that way for years. There was a brief respite when people were switching to ASIC bitcoin mining and away from GPU intensive mining and you could actually get a GPU for a fair price, retail, non-scalper price gouging.
Now it’s right back to basically unaffordable for a name brand GPU. Literally more than a mortgage payment.
I wish my mortgage was that low.
Beats me how much your mortgage is, prices I’m seeing for a 4080 Ti are north of $2500.
