The state of use GPU prices in the US and what % value is appropriate for used parts.

I can really only speak of one narrow slice of the GPU market since I've been shopping for an RX 6800. Right now, the cheapest deals I'm finding are between $315-330. This price for a one, almost two, generation-old card isn't terrible in of itself so much as it's very strange since there's at least one 6800 available brand new for $360 which was on sale a few weeks ago for $340.

Aside from this oddity, I wonder how much a card should be valued given that it's still available new, given the obvious benefits of buying hardware brand new. My from-the-hip idea is 60-70%, but I'm curious what others might think and if anyone has taken a deeper dive into the numbers than my quick jaunt.

Nvidia is now worth more than Canada. Should we expect price hikes on their products?

AI is changing the market, taking away jobs and possibly creating new ones. With the reduction of jobs, companies stand to make more money, the key to entry being Nvidia products.

As customers, should we expect shortages in graphics cards? Or should we invest in their only competitor AMD?

I'm just wondering what your speculation on this is.

Micro Center In Store Only Deals Should Have a Special Filter or Tag

Many like myself are nowhere near a Micro Center Store, and it is very disappointing to see great deals only to be let down time and time again.

[Monitor] Does Dell G2724D have Displayport Out?

Looked at specs and can't find any info. There are two Displayports 1.4 but I'm not sure if one has to be specifically labeled "out" to daisychain to another monitor.

Disappointed about the new prohibition on OS sales

And I can't even comment on the sticky.

C'mon, guys, how am I supposed to spam the comment section on what flavor of Linux to use instead of Windows now?!

[meta] Incoming 4090 FE Restock @ Best Buy?

I've been mashing F5 on their product page over the past couple days and this morning I noticed they added the "High Demand Product" text to the page with "This item is expected to sell out quickly. To improve your odds of getting one, we've updated our reservation process." That makes me wonder if they're getting ready to offer some inventory for sale?

What would be realistic pricing for Nvidia GPUs after the updated SUPERs drop in January?

As the title suggests I wanted to know what real world pricing would be for Nvidia GPUs after January.

123123123

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 SUPERTBATBA

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPERTBATBA

Tom's Hardware has a similar table but its not confirmed & MSRP prices which is not the same as real world prices.

AM4 CPU upgrade

Looking to upgrade an 1700 to a 5600x to prolong the life of my current build. I mostly game with my computer. With the tiktok deal I can it for $130, it is worth it? Really I'm asking how much performance difference could I expect?

Anywhere to get 128gb 4k Apple TV on sale?

[MOBO] ASUS ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI (RAM compatibility)

Hello guys, I hope you are well.

I'm trying to put together my next setup with the following specifications, I add the most important ones to my question:

- Ryzen 7 7800X3D

- ASUS ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI

- G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series (AMD Expo) DDR5 RAM 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) 6000MT/s CL30-36-36-96 1.35V

https://www.amazon.com/-/es/gp/product/B0CJX8K4XT/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3TOECTKC4OEBD&psc=1

Regarding the RAM memory, I have a doubt, on the ASUS website it says that the RAM model F5-6000J3036F16GX2-TZ5NRW (white) does NOT appear to be compatible with this MOBO, but on the G.SKILL website it says that if it is compatible. So, who tells the truth? I want to build a white setup, but I'd like to know if this RAM memory is compatible with the MOBO before making the purchase.

Thanks guys.

If I did something wrong, I apologize, I'm new here.

Is this Legit? Aorus 2TB NVME for 86.99 with no reviews.

https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-Internal-6500MB-6000MB-AG450E2TB-G/dp/B0CKHM2ZQ6/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3L682KQTYIS8F&keywords=nvme+2tb+aorus&qid=1700458664&sprefix=nvme+2tb+aor%2Caps%2C382&sr=8-3

I was browsing for extra storage and came across this. It's tempting since it's a Gen4 drive for 86.99 but no reviews. I see there are 50+ purchases this month and it has links to the Gigabyte store (but the Gigabyte store doesn't have this on sale)

I plan to ship this to my country but I don't want the hassle on going through returns in case this is a scam.

Thank you.

I need a gpu for a mini-itx case

I recently bought the xfx speedster 6800xt, and it turns out it is like an inch too long to fit in my case, the coolermaster elite 130

What AMD cards are out there that will fit?

Graphics card rx 7900 xt for 399$. Is this a scam?

Hello, I found a 7900 xt on amazon for 399: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BR6L7TKR/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3I6AOI299KDZJ&psc=1

I was a little suspicious about the seller but I mean, it seems to be a legit product. Should I be worried at all if I buy this product? At the very least, it is protected by amazon's guarantee but I'm still feeling a bit uncertain about it.

In need of an external drive, is this a good setup?

This would be for a laptop, and for reasons, can't upgrade the internal drive. Going back and forth between a purpose-built external drive and a drive + enclosure, but this combo seems like a good deal.

Looking for thoughts and feedback.

OS Flair, no comments?

This Post did not have comments for several hours after it was made. In the comments Automoderator stated "All comments on posts with the OS flair require manual review."

Isn't this kind of sketchy? Someone could post a questionable link and no one would know until the moderators turn on comments.

Is there a way to set up an alert when a specific product type is posted?

Hopefully the title is self explanatory, but I'd like to figure out a way to get an alert of some kind, ideally a message on reddit when a deal for an HDD is posted, is there a simple way to do that?

To answer your question, yes buy a 6700xt

Unless you want 4k, you will love the price to performance.

The answer is yes

The mass of downvoting of GPU deals specifically makes it hard to find visibility for good GPU deals

I get it, the GPU market sucks and all GPU's should be $X00.00 less and so forth. But when you're in the market for a new GPU (my GTX 1080 is showing its age and I need an upgrade soon) you don't have much choice. I have been following BuildAPCSales for a couple weeks closely and realized there are a lot of good GPU deals of all-time lows that I might have at least considered jumping that are at zero upvotes and I thus missed on my feed. The comments will be filled with things such as "still $200 overpriced" and the like. Well it sucks if the price is high but when you need a GPU you need a GPU. If it's at or near an all-time low it should get posted and upvoted.
