There's no way the price demand will be lifted in a few months, these silicon prices will last likely throughout 2022. Great Die Shrink Tom/Dan!

2021-04-24 01:06:06 +0000 UTCWe're supply constrained right now. If you don't feed into the demand for cards above 30%, then you're not hurting the price other than helping cement 30% over MSRP cards. If you add to supply, you're actually helping lower the price for everyone if it's an elastic market. It's basic supply and demand.

2021-04-23 18:19:12 +0000 UTCYou wouldn't buy 30% markup but you would sell 100% markup. How are you not part of the problem...

2021-04-23 16:57:35 +0000 UTCI bought a 2080ti from a friend for a really good price. Agonized about selling my 5700xt, was over double the msrp at the time. Eventually I bought an R7 2700 for 180 CAD an x470 motherboard and built my girlfriend her first gaming computer. I overclocked the 2700 and her ram and undervolted the 5700xt. I might be an idiot for not selling, but hearing her laugh with her friends while hunting ghost in phasmophobia is worth it to me.
