All prices in NZD. Highest priced air cooled card, the Asus ROG Astral, is $6299 and the Asus ROG AIO is $6599.

Even after stripping out the 15% sales tax the lowest priced card is still USD 2655.

Better release a bunch of articles about how Chinese AI is scary so we can keep video card prices high because our bosses invested our retirement fund into NVIDEA

Meh; I'm happy with my 4090. Got lucky enough to score one on a discount on launch day. It's going to last me well into the 2030s.

I tried getting a 5080 yesterday, obv missed out.

Then i tried to get either a 4080 super or a 4090, which seemingly everyone else did too as they all sold out.

My 3070 isn't cutting it anymore for me, i might just get a 7900 xtx or something as those are still available.

I'm happy with my RX 6800 that I bought at scalper prices because I wanted to build a hackintosh 🙃 I hope it serves me well for another 5-10 years.

Prices like this and a crappy 5080 are going to make my 4090 go up in price

I heard that MicroCenter had less than 300 5090's for the entirety of the USA. Nvidia has taken the nintendo approach to controlling how much hardware they release.

When did they even come out?

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Just today (or yesterday depending on time zone).

Like a week ago

Welcome to fucking around with global markets and the effects of AI on GPU pricing.

The brand new top of the line flagship tech product is expensive!?!

Indent see any point in buying this unless you're aCG artist for movies or you have a 1070ti

[–] CrowAirbrush@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

My 3070 isn't cutting it anymore.

Most games gobble up that 8gb like it's nothing.

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 1 points 43 minutes ago

I have a 3060 12gb. It's still good. My next card will be AMD though I think. GeForce experience is killing me

Cries in RX Vega 56

What is up with the dollar in NZ and AU? Are we doing okay?

[–] Funky_Beak@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 hours ago

We have some truly terrible trade agreements.
