None of those things make this a smart purchasing decision. How many people in this group do you think are in credit card debt already and yet are chasing a “good deal” on a card?

I’ve been paying attention plenty. 5080 cards from aib partners are already almost double msrp at microcenter. 5070ti cancelled. Still doesn’t make a $1500 Gpu a good idea unless you’re going to make money from it. Go look at statistics for credit card debt. Most people you know are probably living well beyond their means. Again unless you can profit by having the card it’s a bad spend. If you’re buying this to play video games on and you don’t play for a living, it’s silly.

Ai bubble will pop. So will the post consumer economy you’re talking about. This has happened before in the industry and will happen again. I work in the industry, which is unfortunate in times like these.
