Remember 12 months ago when you could buy a card normally?

I remember when all this was fields...........

Oh yeah those days then 2080ti was 1200£
And 5700x was 600£

I don't really miss them tbh.

It's harder to get cards now that much is true. But when you do get them, you get so much more bang for your buck.

Even my 1080Ti doesn’t seem to have lost much value in the current market.

Doesn’t seem to be much point spending thousands to only have cyberpunk to play.

I saw an RX570 for well over £500 the other week.

I got a RX580 for £85 from the MM in October. Now? £300.

Last October I got an MSI Ventus 1660 super for ....£209. Now s/h they're fetching £350 and up

And pay relatively normal prices... and not worry about scalpers... and not worry about watching for a discord notification

Which proves it's not the pandemic that's caused this.

Just one of a number of excuses being used. A lot of people and businesses making a load of money off the back of gamers. I blame the gamers personally because if your willing to spend it they will gladly take it.
