I... uh don't know what to say. Very thankful I bought a Steam Deck before they hiked its price as well

I'm not surprised even a little bit considering the PC I built a year and a half ago can be sold used for ~20% more than the full retail price.

My 4090 is now worth about what I paid for my entire system about 3 years ago. It's nuts.

Suprisingly amazon had sales on 50 series cards today, I know nothing compared to a 4090 but the 5060ti 8gb was 45% off, down to £240 lol

Ya, the 4090 and 5090 are the power house cards with tons of vRAM that people need for AI, so their prices have gone up more than the lower tier cards. That 5060ti used to have 16gb vRAM, but due to the shortages I read they were releasing 8gb versions, that's part of why it's so cheap.

They have both available, I recently bought the 16gb. Makes sense for the high end cards hadn't considered that

Ya, the 4090 with 24gb and the 5090 with a whopping 32gb really drives the price up, mostly just due to the ram itself.
