I still have my unopened box of the MSI Suprim X. I was going to return it tomorrow. If you're interested in it I'm happy to sell it to you for cost + tax.

Yeah, that's why I decided to not do it. I can spend that extra money on other parts.
It's the same as when I was deciding on whether I should get an i7-13700k or a Ryzen 9 7900X. From the tests I saw the Ryzen was getting maybe 5 frames more at certain points but paying an extra $200 doesn't feel worth it. And for my 3D work the i7 performs just as good if not better for some things.
I just missed out again on a FE. I got all the way to putting in my credit card code after authorizing through text and and then it told me it was sold out.
