    Current GPU prices are going to dissuade a lot of people from building new PCs, at least that’s what I’m seeing in my surroundings…

      I am really glad that by AM4 5800X + Nvidia 3080 system still performs very well. I wish I had a 5800X3D, but you can’t buy them anymore.

      The AI bubble will have to burst in a big way before we can get GPUs for decent prices.

        Yeah you don’t need a top of the line pc anymore. If people want to build a new pc either go a few generations old for your components or go second hand for some parts.

          I play a lot of strategy games where single thread performance is key (many of the games I play go down to 10-20 FPS in the late game).

          Honestly, would need do some more in-depth research around 5700X3D vs. 5800X, the problem is there aren’t too many benchmark for strategy games.
