Tech Graphics cards prices are insane!

[Beerus]

I knew they were more in price but holy crap. My $139 one is selling for like $500 right now.

I wonder when this will normalize. Are there any other parts that are sky-high right now?

Graphics cards prices went insane even before the pandemic. The RTX line just made them go stupidly high, and Covid has only made prices worse.

CPUs, of course, are equally stupidly priced right now because of supply and demand.

I bought an RTX3060 a few weeks back because my cat peed while sitting on my computer and I noticed some corrosion on my 1060. It didn't kill it, but I decided it was probably safer to just suck it up and do it. It cost me under $1000 Australian - I think my 1060 4 years ago cost me under $300. :/

What's sad is that's a good deal. Cards are such stupid money, and yeah, 1060s were around the 3-500 mark at their peak. I got my 1080 for 400 and I thought that was stupid money...it's just insane what they're asking for now.

Sheesh these prices need to be sorted already. Been having issues with one of my cats. He has a bladder tumor and is peeing all over and having accidents. I just told Jay, I guess it could be worse. At least he isn't peeing on our PCs. lol

Yep, if he gets near them you're in for a huge repair bill or insanely priced replacement parts.
