Unless you can get another FE card those are the prices you'll see .

I'm not thrilled with my AMD card, but it's good enough to continue my Nvidia boycott for the time being

Seems like a good deal, relatively speaking of course.

ZOTAC GeForce RTX 5080 GPU + WD SN850X 2TB SSD + CORSAIR RM850e PSU

$1700.

Not gaming-related, but this feels like semi-big news.

Oof my system has been randomly black screening while the video card fan goes to 100%.. even had the card RMA'd but it still happens.. and I've got a 5900X so I've been thinking it might be time to update. I don't do much heavy stuff on my PC anymore so was thinking of a 9800X3D but that's super tempting.

The loveliness of current nvidia drivers is what it is now. I ONLY for the first time this year got the 4090 working right again .I rebuilt my system, I wiped windows , tried every driver from 4090 release date and finally got it to work again without black screens . I couldn't get it not to black screen Until on day I was like what is my wife's pc using for an nvidia driver? Used that one and boom . Been solid for a week now. Which is funny because I swear I tried that driver like a dozen times previously and would black screen instantly .

This could potentially suck. I wonder if my lifetime premium will still be honoured.

Oh man, same here. I love modding the #### out of my games, usually until they break lol

####ing hell man. 4090 no black screens for 2 weeks since July 2nd nothing but head aches. Same system no changes just black screened then more black screens 9n restart. Tempted to just say #### it and sell it or but an9070xt till drivers are stable agian then sell it. Wtf . It's not a hardware issue or cable issue . Done all the test for them . I know it's a driver issue because certain driver will just straight up 80s tv static the image when loaded. Super frustrating. It's the first time in my pc gaming lifetime I've never bought the best of the best and just wanted to wait a generation. Don't know if I should get a 5080 or 5090 just so drivers work. At this point I don't even care about max 4k refresh rates . I just want it to function. Probably will get a 9070xt and wait it out the sell it when I can pop my 4090 tuf in reliably. ####!!!!!!!!!
