I’m panic sitting on my used 3080 I bought a few years ago

Same, I haven't ran into any situations where I really need a more powerful card.

I have my 3080 from peak COVID. I keep whispering sweet nothings to it, my ram, and ssd drives each night to just hold on until this all gets better.

Same here, if anything breaks that's it with my PC

I'm definitely not. Are you?

peopleproblems@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 5d

Nope. I mean I bought a laptop with an 5080 through a benefit at work that lopped off $1k... but that is DEFINITELY not what they're talking about.

And last time I was at bestbuy, the entire fucking cabinet of GPUs was full.

I would think this is due to businesses buying high end GPUs for local AI workloads in workstations, not gamers.
