Thank fuck. Can we have cheaper graphics cards again please?

I'm sure a RTX 4090 is very impressive, but it's not £1800 impressive.

I swapped to AMD this generation and it's still expensive.

A well researched pre-owned is the way to go. I bought a 6900xt a couple years ago for a deal.

I used to buy broken video cards on ebay for ~$25-50. The ones that run, but shut off have clogged heat sinks. No tools or parts required. Just blow out the dust. Obviously more risky, but sometimes you can hit gold.

If you can buy a ten and one works, you've saved money. Two work and you're making money. The only question is whether the tenth card really will work or not.

And are you really interested in selling the extras?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

For the price of the bundle? Sure.

Really? I'm far too lazy to list things like that. If I was, I'd be buying a lot more than 10 and make a little business out of it.

Graphics cards are so bulky nowadays it's often hard to even fit two on one mobo, as much as I'd love to see 10 GPUs all linked up.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

Lol. I guess you'd need to go to a mining crypto den then, I hear they pull that sort of nonsense. ;)

But seriously though, I'm not interested in listing, shipping, and dealing w/ customer feedback just to save a few bucks on a GPU, because that sounds like a job.

I used to get EVGA bstock which was reasonable but they got out of the business 😞
