RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I finally bought a 7900xtx after my gtx 1080 died.

  • I saved several paystubs from shitty fast food jobs to buy the 1080 too

I saved up for 8+? years to try and buy a flagship as I really didn't want to buy a low tier gpu every year.

As the SI/tech person that's built PCs for my friends and referrals for several years I've seen firsthand just how awful the gpu landscape is especially if you choose to buy whatever's the cheapest tier card.


I typically recommend saving up to buy a good gpu first as it's the most expensive and excruciatingly painful part to buy last.
