For the 100th time: it's going to keep getting worse. AMD's Q4 price hike hasn't even landed yet. Buy your graphics card NOW.

I have a 9700XTX in my rig, my wife and kids all have 9070XTs… the most expensive of them cost me $850, I bought it last December before the shit hit the fan…

Hopefully we’ll be able to keep these going to ride out the current trend… I figure I’m good for about 5 years before I have to upgrade again.

I switched from a 3080FE to a 9070XT (largely because I’m predominantly running Bazzite now, and AMD is less annoying as a gaming gpu on Linux - not to mention, I try to avoid giving NVDA business on new cards these days). Works like a charm.
