Got my 9070XT for MSRP. by far the best graphics card I’ve ever owned. I am over Nvidia and their attempts to screw over the consumer.

2025-05-01 15:02:50 +0000 UTCI was one of those lucky people that managed to trade my 5700XT for a 6800 during the mining boom when the 5700XT was the better mining GPU. I had initially bought the 5700XT before NVIDIAs 3000 and AMDs 6000 series had been released. I didn't plan out anything but I made my own luck and took opportunities while they were there.
