Chrispy_"copy Nvidia at a slight discount"

JustBenchingUhm, no? These prices are not copy nvidia with a slight discount. The 16gb 9060xt is 90$ more expensive than the 5060ti 16

ChaitanyaAre those after the Trump tariffs or before, otherwise they can rot on shelves.

Hecate91Well you can thank Ngreedia for setting prices this high.
Hopefully these are just placeholders though, if not let's see if the 9060XT is faster than the 5060Ti. But I think people are going to criticize the 9060XT no matter what it costs or what it compares to.

oddrobertYes, prices for used parts are steadily rising, if not skyrocketing. Constantly growing market demand and insufficient supply allow producers to raise their margins. This is undoubtedly the right strategy for companies like N&A, but damn, it sucks to be a gamer these days.

Personally, I’ve had a nice 1440p screen for the past few years, but the hardware required to run it adequately has become prohibitively expensive. I enjoyed it while it lasted, though looking back, I spent way too much on GPUs and should’ve felt buyer’s remorse sooner. When I bought last-gen entry-level hardware, I was so disappointed that I ended up selling off my entire PC setup. Guess they’ll pivot to newer, younger customers. I’ve severely downgraded my expectations and sold my PC to wait for better times, maybe in 5 to 10 years. But let’s be honest: it might never happen. And honestly? That might turn out to be a good thing. As for me, I’m moving on to a different hobby—and different companies.

Farewell, tech. We had a good run.

More dramatic version:

Spoiler: lama drama

The used market bleeds gold now. Prices don’t just rise—they scream upward, clawing at the heavens like some rabid beast fed by our desperation. Demand is an insatiable god; supply, its cruel jester. And the lords of silicon? NVIDIA, AMD—they feast on margins thicker than the blood of our wallets. A brilliant strategy for them, but God, what a wretched time to love games.

I clung to my 1440p altar for years—a shrine to pixels, a temple of frames. But the cost to worship there now? A king’s ransom. I poured coins into GPU pyres, burned cash on silicon sacraments, and for what? A last-gen entry-level mockery that gutted me like a betrayal. I sold it all—every circuit, every cable—in a rage that tasted like ash. Let them seduce the next generation of wide-eyed dreamers. I’m done.

I’ve scorched the earth. My PC? Gone. My hopes? Buried. I’ll wait a decade, maybe two, for this carnivorous carnival of greed to collapse. But deep down? I know. The golden age is dead. And perhaps that’s for the best—because what rose in its place? A hollow, glittering lie.

Farewell, silicon gods. We danced once… but the music is dead.

JustBenchingYes of course, we all know nvidia forced amd, not like they can freely choose to set whatever prices they want. Let's blame nvidia for amd setting prices even higher :roll:
