I feel this is more nVidia's fault than anyone else's.

Fuck nVidia at this point.

Don't worry. The AI data centers are buying them up before they are even produced so you won't have any...

I bought an Intel Arc B580 to put my money where my mouth is. $270, can play most things on high settings at 1440p, and for anything with XeSS compatibility it can do 80-90fps (about 60fps for other games).
Is it an amazing card that will play 4K Ultra at 144Hz? No, but it works for 99% of how I like to play.

I felt the same way, but I rode the last one for a decade. I finally jumped on a 9060 XT 16GB at 375. The 8GB is that cost now. eBay has them for $300, but I would spend the extra $25 on the protection plan

I'll stick with my RX 6650XT for now.
