Don't buy graphics cards at inflated prices.

Unless you absolutely need to for work, or whatnot.  Just wait.  The crypto market did have a crash.  It's not out of commission for good, but I would imagine the prices of video cards will start to ease (at least as people sell their video cards to buy some cheap coins).  xD

I am waiting for that to happen more than waiting to get money god dammit xD I am planning to upgrade from 1050ti to a 1070 or even 1080 but since the prices almost doubled I cannot do anything else but wait till the prices will drop and get back to normal.

As of this moment, none of the wholesalers in Germany and most of EU have any stock whatsoever. I would assume next shipments might drop in price but not by much.

Work at retail, have access to this stuff.

what is this? a PSA for something everyone here knows?

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Damn, that's pretty harsh.

I mean some people just don't know!

I am currently eyeing the 1070Ti. The prices, though, are brutal as they are about $653.54 USD. I am not in America, so it's more like $800... Yeah...
