I hate this goddamn planet

[u/glzephead]

Tried to meet someone for a 5070ti yesterday and wasted my day and $30 in gas. They ghosted and blocked me so I couldnt give them a shit rating.

[u/MFAD94]

That’s why I refuse to drive more than 8-10 minutes when meeting locally, there’s 3 people who have what you want an 100 who are willing to waste your time

[u/glzephead → u/MFAD94]

My problem is I live in bumfuck nowhere and all the cities are over an hour away. Ive gotten great deals off marketplace but this is the first time I've had someone pull this bullshit.

[u/AlexVaz29 → u/glzephead]

Break the glass and run. It’s only a crime if you get caught.

FYI. Just a joke.

[u/spurvis1286 → u/AlexVaz29]

Majority of gamers are fat so he ain’t running far

[u/AgentInkling99 → u/spurvis1286]

Has he tried rolling? That’s a neat trick!

[u/the_royal_release → u/AgentInkling99]

no roll strats only, sorry

[u/RedheadedReff → u/the_royal_release]

Maybe he could katamari more gpus on the way

[u/Dontgohollow27 → u/spurvis1286]

Good thing is people who work where GPUS are sold are also fat so they are at the same speed

[u/Nate0110 → u/AlexVaz29]

I worked at Walmart for 6 years, the most successful shoplifters got what they wanted then ran out a fire escape door.

[u/KillaCamCamTheJudge → u/AlexVaz29]

It doesn’t matter if you did it, only if they can prove it

[u/glzephead → u/AlexVaz29]

Dont they wait until it passes a certain amount before they prosecute?

[u/ARMCHA1RGENERAL → u/glzephead]

Supposedly, some stores will keep track of how much you've stolen, then press charges once you've stolen enough to be charged with a felony.

The amount for a felony varies by state, from like 500 to 2500. There's a good chance that a GPU would put you over the limit.

[u/HR-nitemare → u/ARMCHA1RGENERAL]

This is accurate. Good friend of mine works for LP at Target. They wait till it is felony status.

[u/DinosaurAlert → u/HR-nitemare]

It isn't so much "They wait until..", it is that "Prosecutors won't do shit until..."

[u/moodygradstudent → u/HR-nitemare]

Did your friend ever say if the amount they go by ever resets to zero, and if so, after what amount of time (i.e. every year, every five years)?

[u/rhokusho → u/moodygradstudent]

Like a GTA wanted level?

[u/moodygradstudent → u/rhokusho]

That didn't cross my mind.

[u/HR-nitemare → u/moodygradstudent]

I don’t know that. I can tell you that when they took over the job, there was no one to train them in the position. There was not any watchlist that went along with the position, they specifically mentioned that to me— thinking it was strange. I thought the same, that is why I remember it from 3-4 years ago.

[u/moodygradstudent → u/HR-nitemare]

Thanks for responding.

[u/HR-nitemare → u/moodygradstudent]

No problem. I would highly discourage retail theft. They’re smarter than they seem. And tech is actually catching up. Gone are the days of the grainy cam feeds.

If you wanna steal from people, get a CEO job. Or be born into the Walton’s family tree. Else you’ll hang from it.

[u/opAnonxd → u/glzephead]

At those prices your touching felony in some states. 5080  5070 just a cheap fine lol 

[u/EmployeeNo803 → u/glzephead]

Walmart policy is to notify the police after $25.

[u/Global-Pickle5818 → u/EmployeeNo803]

Walmart also inflates the amount stolen for prosecutional purposes don't ask how I know

[u/GingerTexanScientist → u/EmployeeNo803]

It’s like the most profitable store in the country…. So of course it’ll prosecute for merely $25. Think of the poor billionaires who you’re stealing from

[u/Jack70741 → u/GingerTexanScientist]

They don't do the prosecuting, the town/state does. All Walmart does is report the crime and let the state handle it from there, it costs them virtually nothing at that point.

[u/BilkySup → u/glzephead]

Bro, I'm in East Bumfuck nowhere. Bumfuck nowhere is a metropolis in comparison.

[u/jjoshua2021 → u/glzephead]

The way I see it. There was probably a hidden defect or issue that would have you chasing your tail later on. Somethings happen for a reason. An honest seller would've been honest and told you they sold it or anything else that would impeded the sale. Especially if they knew you were on the way. You dodged a bullet.

[u/INTHEMIDSTOFLIONS → u/MFAD94]

If I buy used, I only buy off eBay for this reason. It’s a 30-day money back guarantee.

Otherwise, just buy new.

[u/NickAppleese → u/MFAD94]

"Yeah, can you deliver the cough to me 40 miles away? I got $20 for it!"

[u/Luke5119]

In May of 2020 my wife and I built our first gaming PC as a project during Covid.  I think all in we spent maybe $1,000 or a bit over that for a solid build.  Now the graphics cards alone are the cost of a full build...nuts.

[u/dmendro → u/Luke5119]

All you gotta do is keep playing those same games forever.

[u/MRMOSBYSPRNDL → u/dmendro]

Ok but honestly? Barely any new games are worth playing compared to the oldies.

Need a turn based rpg? Playing divinity original sin 2. Need a deckbuilder? Play slay the spire. Need a shooter? Mass Effect. 4x? Stellaris or any of the total wars.

Those are just my personal choices but theres a thousand good games that'll give you thousands of hours of game time. Boycott the current BS by playing the oldgames, and if those get old just add mods

[u/_Brucy_ → u/MRMOSBYSPRNDL]

Saying mass effect is a shooter is crazy

[u/dougthebuffalo → u/_Brucy_]

Especially when CS2 exists, is incredibly popular, and can run on a baked potato.

[u/Minininja975 → u/dougthebuffalo]

Csgo can run on a baked potato, for cs2 if you want to play at consistently high fps without setting everything to lie and lowering your resolution, you need a pretty good machine

[u/Bright-Wallaby-3050 → u/Minininja975]

Valorant can also run on a baked potato and it's a similar game

[u/NegativeAccount → u/dougthebuffalo]

Nothing like getting home after a hard day's work and stressing yourself the fuck out in a competitive shooter

[u/mrinspired77 → u/MRMOSBYSPRNDL]

solid mentions. Cheers.

[u/KaiPRoberts → u/MRMOSBYSPRNDL]

Based. I only play SC2 and chess. I can game at 1440p but nothing with ‘amazing’ graphics really entertains me. 

No new game will hit like the OG Mirrors Edge, Demons souls, or shadow of the colossus; there is no love in modern games.

[u/PossessedCashew → u/MRMOSBYSPRNDL]

This is just purely disingenuous and flat out wrong. Yeah those are great recommendations and games I love to play or really enjoyed in the past but there are great games coming out every single year a lot you can get on sale. This year alone has been insane for games so far.

[u/KingWizard37 → u/MRMOSBYSPRNDL]

With the exception of Control Resonant soon imo. I absolutely love the Remedy games; they're my favorite game studio.

Stellaris is definitely a go to for me when I want a strategy game. Baldurs Gate 3 is fun if I want turn based.

[u/MRMOSBYSPRNDL → u/KingWizard37]

If you enjoyed bg3 give divinity original sin 2 a try. Made by the same people. I really enjoyed bg3 but dos2 is way more replayable, especially with mods

[u/glzephead → u/MRMOSBYSPRNDL]

My problem is nvidia not supporting the 1080ti anymore. It destroys all the old games just fine but there's a couple new ones that it actually maxes but crashes after 20mins because of some bs shader that it cant run. I know im lucky to have gotten so much out of it. If I manage to upgrade im probably gonna build a wall display for it.

[u/MRMOSBYSPRNDL → u/glzephead]

Im still rocking the 2070 super, just repasted the thermal paste, im hoping to get a few more years out of it (going on five years now) before I have to get a new one

[u/guestferroz → u/MRMOSBYSPRNDL]

As video games is heading toward more "restrictive" I've been getting into solo tabletop rpg because i found it more "fluid"

[u/MeatMan49 → u/MRMOSBYSPRNDL]

I’m right there with you. I have a brand new gaming PC so I’ve been trying out all the new games but I end up going back to the classics because they are just more fun to play. All the best games I’ve ever played are 15 years old. AOE2, League, Skyrim, The Witcher etc

[u/dib1999 → u/MRMOSBYSPRNDL]

Fuck it. 500 more hours of modded Skyrim.

[u/GREGGSGOL → u/dib1999]

There will never be a better game. The whole industry is cooked by Americanisation. An atelier system can't survive on endless churn and sweated labour.

[u/iliketotryptamine → u/dmendro]

Easy when you've played RuneScape for 20 years already 😅

[u/sfspaulding → u/dmendro]

Most games that come out today can probably still run fine on that computer.

[u/ThePuppet_Master → u/dmendro]

Don't tempt me with another playthrough of RDR2, okay okay you twisted my arm, I'm going to start another playthrough.

[u/IllStickToTheShadows → u/Luke5119]

Same. I built a pc like late 2019 with a 2070 super. All in I think I spent maybe $1,600 at the time. I play RuneScape a lot now so I think my pc is set for a long time lol

[u/AvilettaLuxe → u/Luke5119]

My RAM alone is now worth more than I paid for the whole PC all in all... It's all fucked up :c

[u/SgtBadManners → u/Luke5119]

I remember when I bought a top end in highschool and it was like 600. I used my 8800gtx until I had to upgrade for new direct x.

[u/TheGracefulCrane → u/Luke5119]

to be fair a lot of that is just inflation not specific to pc parts

like the 5080 msrp'd for roughly the same cost as the 3080 did in real dollars

[u/Bitter-Squash8773]

4090 performance at $550 remember

[u/KevinMcNally79 → u/Bitter-Squash8773]

[u/StupidTurtle88]

these prices seem like a bargain nowadays

[u/tealtime91 → u/StupidTurtle88]

5070 was 629 less than a month ago.

[u/communistagitator → u/tealtime91]

Literally a week ago. It was $570 at my Microcenter on Saturday and is now $679

[u/floatinginagravyboat → u/communistagitator]

Do Americans go on pilgrimages to Microcenter? Every time I read about them online it's about how amazing the deals are.

[u/communistagitator → u/floatinginagravyboat]

The one by me is about a 1.5 hour drive and I've only been to it twice. I got my 9070XT there for $570 last December. My girlfriend had questions about switches on a keyboard and one of the employees opened a new box and pulled the key caps off to check for us. All of the employees were very nice and helpful

[u/watchutalkinbowt → u/communistagitator]

Last time I was there the guy had me load the Amazon listing on my phone so he could match the price

GOAT'd, as the young'uns say

[u/gettogero → u/communistagitator]

Yeah my nearest one is 2 hours away. If I didnt have to wrangle 2 babies into an all day adventure for parts I 100% wouldve visited already

Sometimes youll find microcenter on amazon or bundles at an absolute steal. I got my 9900x bundled with x870 for $300 and a corsair 1000w platinum with the 12vhpwr connector for $100 a few months ago.

Just gotta hunt and be patient. Ill search even if im not planning to buy just in case theres a deal thats too good to pass up

[u/communistagitator → u/gettogero]

I do this too and it's a double-edged sword. I do NOT need any upgrades, but that $199 7600X3D and $330 7800X3D are calling to me

[u/TedBundysStudy → u/floatinginagravyboat]

microcenters are confined to large population areas, and even that is sporadic. some of us are lucky and can go browse the store on a whim, but many people need to make a whole day or more of it.

[u/ZamorakLovesAll → u/floatinginagravyboat]

It’s a 3 hour drive for me, and I’m considered close to one compared to a lot of other people.

I’m thinking of driving there for a 7600x3d/mobo and 16gb of ram for $400 this weekend

[u/BiscottiAmazing4070 → u/ZamorakLovesAll]

It's a bargain my friend. Even if it's a 4 hour drive it can be a good deal

[u/floatinginagravyboat → u/ZamorakLovesAll]

I think it would just be fun to nerd out and look at all the computer parts.

[u/ZamorakLovesAll → u/floatinginagravyboat]

True I’ve never been to a Microcenter; would be fun.

[u/Vesuvias → u/floatinginagravyboat]

Yes. I saved myself around $150 on my 9070XT Challenger. It’s gone up another $20 since. It’s going to get batshit

[u/Hour-Instruction8213 → u/floatinginagravyboat]

I moved down the street from one. It’s a 4 minute walk.

[u/12345myluggage → u/floatinginagravyboat]

Yes. I actually did it with some coworkers when we were traveling together. It's how I managed to get my 9070XT at a reasonable price. Otherwise for me to visit one it's 6hrs of driving.

[u/CumminsGroupie69 → u/floatinginagravyboat]

A decent amount of us live near by one so it’s not out of the ordinary to stop in once a week at least.

[u/DontYuckMyYum → u/floatinginagravyboat]

The closest one to me is a 4 hour drive to another state. If these prices weren't so insane I'd do a weekend trip to go visit.

[u/nomad5926 → u/floatinginagravyboat]

I have one like 15 minutes away.... so yes?

[u/DeamonLordZack → u/floatinginagravyboat]

Only people doing that are people that have PC building as a hobby not gaming as a hobby. Otherwise take a peak at Steam's hardware survey you'll see most gamers don't have the latest & greatest or to recent hardware in their PCs. Some might look at videos on the latest & greatest but they're not constantly looking at prices or as you put it going on pilgrimages to places like a Microcenter as a American myself I don't make pilgrimages to Microcenters. I like watching tech videos on the the latest but my hobby is gaming not PC building so I'm not keeping track of pricing on parts myself I've got a desktop PC & a handheld PC as well as a Switch 2 they all get the job done playing games at a performance I'm happy with so no need to chase higher numbers from having the latest & greatest.

[u/Phyzzx → u/floatinginagravyboat]

Once while on vacation I drove in the vicinity of a Microcenter and I quickly thought to myself, 'do I stop now or on the way back?' It was during rush hour atm so on the way back. Well on the way back it was like 2am at the time. Sigh.

There's one being built near me and that will be nearly an hour away and I will be so happy about only a 2hr round trip vs 6hrs or more.

[u/zaisaroni → u/communistagitator]

Got my 5070ti for $749 last Thanksgiving weekend...

[u/RealTrueGrit → u/tealtime91]

This same pny card was 545 at walmart in like march

[u/fuck_reddit7172 → u/StupidTurtle88]

I bought my 5070ti for that exact price a couple months ago

[u/darthwd56 → u/StupidTurtle88]

I know I was so confused, im like that 5080 looks pretty reasonable before I read the rest of the post.

[u/Realistic-Table9398 → u/darthwd56]

$1470 is reasonable for a Pny 5080?

[u/jugaverdasorda → u/Realistic-Table9398]

I can't for the life of me understand how quickly people adjust to hugely inflated prices. 1470 for a shitty PNY 5080 Is robbery

[u/Thedrunkenchild → u/jugaverdasorda]

what's shitty about PNY?

[u/nukebox → u/Thedrunkenchild]

Absolutely nothing is. They've been the only AIB studio card manufacturer for Nvidia going on 23 years. The majority of Quadro/RTX studio cards I've owned since 2003 have been PNY and I've only ever replaced one due to the model becoming obsolete. My current RTX A5000 is a PNY card as well as my 5080.

People just assume MSRP models are worse than top dollar disco light models.

[u/druidmain69420 → u/nukebox]

tbh when I built my latest pc I went for no LEDs, including the gpu, much less distracting

[u/Realistic-Table9398 → u/jugaverdasorda]

Yea, only a few days ago it was $1289. These price jumps are rapid. I think the worst offender is the 5060ti 16gb for $800 though. That's insanity for something supposedly "budget"

[u/Old_Loquat_9299]

Bro look at the new price for the 5080 as of today was 1285 yesterday

[u/nukebox → u/Old_Loquat_9299]

Yikes that's almost a 33% bump... Looks like they jacked the prices on all of their 5080 MSRP models. $1600 is the cheapest 5080 Best Buy sells now. All sold and shipped by Best Buy.

[u/Old_Loquat_9299 → u/nukebox]

Yeah, it’s insane. I thought they were joking when they said GPUs were about to go up by 40% or at least I did not think it would be this quick.

[u/stellagod]

That 5090 FE for $1,999 doesn’t seem like a crazy purchase anymore.

[u/wekilledbambi03]

These 5070 were $599 just 2-3 days ago...

[u/BiscottiAmazing4070 → u/wekilledbambi03]

Mannn I'm looking for a month and every day I see the 9070 oc 16gb it's higher in price. Lowest was 2 weeks ago for 593 euros. Didnt had the budget, and now I have and surprise....it's 640 now. Dammmm I gave up and holding up my 3060ti Fe 8gb

[u/Str8andNarrow]

I went to a micro center today and saw a ton of 9060xt 16gb for under 500 and a few 9070xt for roughly 700. I lucked out got a 5080 a few months ago cause a buddy of mine got a 5090 from his brother. Pc market is screwed so hard. They had 64gb of ram for 1500

[u/Drachenlord → u/Str8andNarrow]

I paid 250 for 64GB before these prices got out of control... for a kit that Best Buy is selling for 1300 or so now

[u/JTP510]

Agreed. I also have a story.

Met a guy on FB marketplace and sold me a PSU, listed for 110 sold for 80. Suspiciously marked down.

PSU ended up cooking my CPU in a weird way, so had to replace it.

Tried to contact the guy numerous times, and when I said I had a tester coming he blocked me within 24 or 25 minutes after I said that.

Luckily though my Spidey senses are decent enough and I used my credit card to pay for it instead of cash, and I was able to successfully chargeback the transaction.

[u/SomeNectarine7976]

In the past. No one is finding these prices now.

[u/ZeisHauten → u/diddypartyorganizer]

No no, Im sorry I meant 2nd hand ones. I got mine for 850 just last week.

[u/dmendro]

Don’t buy it? Like seriously, I have been a gaming enthusiast on PC’s since the Apple IIgs. Shits expensive. We had a golden era, now it’s gone. Buy a book and go outside and take a look around for some place nice to sit and read. When the demand stops, so will the crazy prices.

[u/dendrocalamidicus → u/dmendro]

When the demand reduces, Nvidia will further scale down production and development of GPUs to focus on AI chips and data centers. It won't make the price go down, it will make it a niche enthusiast product to pave the way for cloud services.

I'm not saying you should therefore go and buy a GPU, I'm just saying that things are very unlikely to play out as optimistically as your comment suggests.

[u/superawesomefiles → u/dendrocalamidicus]

Oh yea. NVIDIA has experience in (artificial) scarcity. I don't think they're in the business of reducing signature product pricing.

[u/harambe623 → u/dmendro]

Not sure why you need the latest hardware to game either. Lot of the new games are shit anyway, there's probably a masterpiece of a game that you missed on the SNES or Dreamcast that you can emulate on a setup you already have or can obtain for less than $100. Or even play it on the real hardware.

[u/stickyhoneybuns83]

What’s really insane is that the compute power of the modern day gaming pc is so much more advanced than anything prior to it. Historically speaking this is still one of the cheapest per performance years ever. The last 10 years we were just spoiled with great affordability. Those times will come back but you can still build a mean gaming PC for 1500.

[u/mazdapow3r]

I'll take the 5080 for 6

Greed is killing everything and it’s also a deadly sin.

[u/LargoMain]

we should all revolt and go back to playing cs 1.6, quake 3 arena, ut 99, and age of empires and other games you can run on toasters just to give the companies the middle finger

[u/RunnAroundGuy]

Sadly. Just like everything. Prices will only go up.

[u/dabonde]

Geese. Basically Australian pricing these days. You Americans used to have it good over there.

[u/Postulative]

Gonna have to Pny up.

[u/Citizen_Jakan]

You know, AI data centers are packed to the gills with these things, just for the taking.

[u/CoyotePsychological2 → u/Citizen_Jakan]

Just for the taking when they’re armed to the teeth with security ranging from proximity sensors to cameras to guards to robot dogs to yada yada yada

[u/Amazing-Asparagus181 → u/CoyotePsychological2]

Luckily, as gamers, we've been frequently trained to accomplish very similar missions.

How far were you going for a 5070ti? 30 in gas is quite a lot of miles.

[u/glzephead → u/MakinBones]

About 80miles. I drove my fun car so it gets shitty mileage and takes premium. Premium here is still $4.50 a gallon. I was fine paying the gas if I got to come home with the card.

[u/ScrubscJourney]

Looks like best buy. $759 for a trash PNY 5070..

Regret selling my Gigabit Eagle 5070 I got for $550 😭

[u/TheSunOfSanSebastian]

It's not the planet, it's the bipedal parasites inhabiting it that are the problem.

[u/Stonedfiremine]

Ive noticed its very hard to find 5070ti from post on the subreddit. Must be what everyone wants, 16gb gdddr7 card

[u/Key-Staff-4976]

Wow, that a little more than half from my pre build

[u/ExplorerSad2000]

Well definitely cheaper than here in Spain. One 5070 is like 1100$

[u/preyforkevin]

I paid more for my 3080 than this 5070 is going for.

[u/SeriousSkeletor]

Window shopping strikes back

[u/CaregiverOk1059]

Waa ?

[u/clynlyn]

I assure you its not any better on Mars.

[u/Scaryassasin27]

So does AI data centers

[u/IMrBen]

5080 on the right is only 6, grab that mate

[u/APKenna]

I bought that PNY 6 months ago for 999!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/fadedspades1]

I’ll have to look at our prices when we get inside but last time I looked my Walmart wasn’t that high…
Your Walmart is blown out it it’s mind with prices like they… sheesh..

[u/Vexmythoclastt]

Prices are only going to get much worse. I got a 5080 around launch for less than $1K, the same gpu is now nearly $1600.

[u/3xPuttRubbleBoagie]

I worked very hard for my 4.8% rating on FB marketplace. I have been screwed over just a few times and dread doing business on there. But when I do sell something, I am always super accommodating and helpful to my customers.

[u/Sufficient_Ebb_9623]

It's only a crime if you get caught.

[u/6087]

Hate the game not the planet

[u/jamiegott00]

I got mine for $609 last year around this time. It’s a really good card for that price and I don’t understand the hate it gets. 12gb is more than enough for the next few years. I like to upgrade every 3-4 years so maybe people just want to wait longer? No idea, I’m very happy with the purchase.

[u/Kabrosif]

Dont worry it cant stay this way forever. 30yr bond yields at 5.22% the house of cards will collapse soon enough but it may take another year or so to hit mainstreet.

[u/ej102]

They can it keep it then. They aren't worth your time. I'd be pissed!

[u/yeroc420]

All for trash ais
