    Current GPU prices are going to dissuade a lot of people from building new PCs, at least that’s what I’m seeing in my surroundings…

      I am really glad that by AM4 5800X + Nvidia 3080 system still performs very well. I wish I had a 5800X3D, but you can’t buy them anymore.

      The AI bubble will have to burst in a big way before we can get GPUs for decent prices.

        The 5700X3D has the same core and thread count as the 5800X3D but with just slightly lower clock speeds, for less than half the price of the 5800X3D and wide availability:

        https://www.scan.co.uk/products/amd-ryzen-7-5700x3d-am4-zen-3-8-core-16-thread-30ghz-41ghz-turbo-100mb-cache-pcie-40-105

        From corsairs website:

        The Ryzen 7 5700X3D and 5800X3D share very similar specs. However, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D offers a higher base and max boost clock of 3.4 GHz and 4.5 GHz respectively compared to the Ryzen 7 5700X3D’s 3 GHz and 4.1 GHz. Every other spec is identical.

        Yeah you don’t need a top of the line pc anymore. If people want to build a new pc either go a few generations old for your components or go second hand for some parts.

          I play a lot of strategy games where single thread performance is key (many of the games I play go down to 10-20 FPS in the late game).

          Honestly, would need do some more in-depth research around 5700X3D vs. 5800X, the problem is there aren’t too many benchmark for strategy games.

            I would say it’s about 6-10% slower than the 5800X3D. Everything else is identical except the clock speeds

    Finding one … in stock … is a near impossibility

    Lots of cards are available. They just aren’t at MSRP

      I mean, it’s pretty safe to say that they’ve got good incentive to do it to the best of their ability. Right now, the cards are selling for above MSRP because there isn’t enough supply. They aren’t making that money — it’s going to scalpers and such.

      If they wanted to constrain supply to benefit, they’d increase the prices they’re charging.

      Ommmmmm…

      Really, meditate/hibernate for a few years before buying the current videocard. A generational lag behind will make your life easier.
