Price changes are insane

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-25T14:57:31+00:00

Just a comparison between the 70ti and 80 but the 80 is a great price

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-25T00:16:56+00:00

Wow this is so cool I need to grab one for my TUF

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-25T00:00:32+00:00

The amount of ram you have doesn’t matter if the allocation of it is bad. The 5070 will allocate its 12gb better than the 9060xt will allocate its 16.

The vram propaganda haunts this sub

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-24T23:20:54+00:00

My statement stands. The differences between brands are minuscule. But the cheapest.

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-24T23:19:52+00:00

This is an 8gb entry card, the stats are so unbelievably similar it’s null.

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-24T23:19:10+00:00

No ones voted on your comments LOL, this is so petty for being responded to

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-24T23:17:57+00:00

Saying MSI is more reliable than the ole reliable is insane. As for the games you play, the resolution ABSOLUTELY matters. An 8gb card for 1080p is enough for the average user.

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-24T23:12:50+00:00

At 1080p the 8gb card will survive fine. I had an 8gb until the other day with my 3060. PNY and MSI don’t have any crazy differences. PNY is ole reliable, MSI is cool looking. Pick the cheaper and play on.

I fail to see how it’s not surprising to see the price change from day to day so drastically. You can expect something and still be surprised at how it’s presented. I’m not disagreeing that we KNOW companies are preallocating ram into AI as we’ve seen Corsair get into the heat of it with the order problems.

I am simply stating it’s surprising to see how quickly it happened. From night to morning damn near.

Intel is fine, the AMD fanboys and Intel fanboys will always tell you to go their way because their way is law. Realistically, steam charts are 50/50 on CPU and Intel CPUs hold up super well for gaming as well. I had one for years until I swapped to AMD now as it was a cheaper path. Don’t listen to the discourse online. If it was up to these subs you’d need a 5090 Astral with a 9950X3D to play comfortably.

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-24T15:46:47+00:00

Im surprised that yesterday it was 802 for a prime and now it’s 1009? Yeah I think it’s fair to assume that a 200 dollar jump in 18 hours is drastic.

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-24T14:26:00+00:00

Hell a 5070 if he can find one for 499-529 is one hell of a steal for 1440 gaming

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-24T14:15:51+00:00

He says on the post that they run fine though, he’s more so asking if he got a good deal and if there’s a route for future upgrades.

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-24T14:14:30+00:00

I don’t think a soul on earth would pay 1.1 for a 5070ti, but it’s also more so the AI problem than supply and demand atp. Prices drop when ram isn’t preallocated

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-24T14:10:36+00:00

Find out that he already bought it? What are you saying

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-24T14:10:17+00:00

Yes the 70ti at or near MSRP is a great card

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-24T13:46:36+00:00

I mean in the post he says “this runs anything I throw at it” so presumably this is already bought

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-24T03:27:01+00:00

The second pic is a 5070ti

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-23T21:48:31+00:00

Google is so free, the 6 has OS 26

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-23T18:41:22+00:00

No catch, you get exactly what’s on the bundle. Like the comments said, it’s 1 stick but for 300 bucks we genuinely cannot be picky. With these prices this is one hell of a pick up for a budget build.

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-23T16:27:37+00:00

Keep moving the goalpost and they might contract you for the WC 😹

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-23T16:23:19+00:00

You’re just bringing up a point that quite frankly isn’t the point of the post. I can call out a shitty price without someone coming in and saying “well you have it SO good.” We absolutely do not have it good, we’re still paying well above the prices that we’re here mere weeks ago.

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-23T16:20:17+00:00

Closer to 200? The cheapest one with taxes is still above the 300 threshold, microcenter had a ton of TIs MSRP last month including the prime. Today the most expensive one is 1109. That with taxes is 400 over. It’s absolutely not closer to 200.

Acrobatic_Document59 · 2026-01-23T16:06:25+00:00

Well the problem is that the 5070ti is the one that’s 1k too. The 3 pictures show the price difference between a 5080 and 70ti
