Prices are a bit silly right now due to a supposed Memory shortage, but honestly I remember some of the late 90s early 2000s top end rigs being actually insane in price.

What do you have to show at the end of an HPDE weekend? A wallet that's lighter by $600-1000 dollars and more wear and tear on your car?
If you fish and turn the fish back loose after catching them, is that a hobby? Do you consider a sunburn "something to show for it?"Need parts now? Need them cheap? steve@blunttech.com

Wish I could upgrade to a 1080 as my 1070 just doesn't give as much as I would like while running three screens but even 1070's are more than double what I paid for mine. Ugh
RAM prices are at a premium but that doesn't account for the near triple pricing. Yes, miners are not helping the market one bit.

You don't learn jack from plugging in a PC graphics card into a slot, and telling your grandma that you "built...urrr...modded...a PC" and then going to play a video game for 16 hours a day. That's a big difference. Apples and oranges.Originally posted by Matt-Bhey does anyone know anyone who gets upset and makes electronics?

I actually prefer 3x1080 over a single 1440 or higher resolution. With the right games, it's unbeatable, even against singlenultrawide offerings. My issue is the lack of cheap 75+ hz screens in the 1080 sector. You would figure there would be loads with 4k being the new 'toy'.
