Guza I got RTX 5060 for $300 few weeks ago. Yea it has 8GB vram but has 50% better performance and doesnt lose as much performance using DLSS 4.5. This sounds like a horrible deal. Reply
hotaru251 or save bit more and grab a 9060 xt w/ more raster performance, better RT performance, & 16gb ram…. no telling how long Nvidia will even support the 30 series refresh and again even then its on 2nd gen RT cores. Reply
Loadedaxe No offense to TH, but no….$329 was the MSRP in 12/2020 FO Nvidia…maybe at $229…..but no we aren't buying your 5 year old crap at MSRP… Reply

It's not quite there (yet), but it's about…halfway? These "it's old, it should be cheap" sentiments are now antiquated. You still have the pre-DC (data center) mindset, circa 2024. It's not 2024 anymore. For consumer PC hardware, I expect slow-walk progress. The NAND/DRAM price bottleneck will throttle any major HW advances anyway. Intel's bLLC CPU? Big Zen6 uplift? 60-series Super? Yeah, whatever, who cares if nobody can afford it. IOW, be content with what you have, as there won't be new toys for a while. Reply
SomeoneElse23 I'd like see some of the high end 4000's come back. A flood of new 4090s would bring the prices down to reasonable levels, and you wouldn't need a fire extinguisher. Reply
dva852 SomeoneElse23 said: I'd like see some of the high end 4000's come back. Nvidia has moved on from 4000 series. Restarting production would mean setting up tooling, production runs, etc, and would make per unit more expensive than continuing 5000 production. It's probably why 3060 isn't cheap(er) than it is. People don't think about manufacturing costs. SomeoneElse23 said: A flood of new 4090s would bring the prices down to reasonable levels, and you wouldn't need a fire extinguisher. No, it won't. AI peeps have deeper pockets than PC DIYers, and would snap up any 4090 at prices higher than you're willing to pay. Reply

It isnt a scarcity of gpu's that issue..its the fact ram is so costly thus anything uses ram has to match that additional cost. Reply
