The golden ticket for me is buying previous gen. Used.

I picked up a 7950 during the crypto crash. A 980 TI when everyone was doing exactly this and jumping on new stuff. My used 3090 is like $200 more than when I bought it, last I checked.

And the risk of it being faulty? Heck, I could’ve bought two of them and still come out ahead of these stupid new card prices.

This gen is still pretty screwed, though. 7900 prices may drop some with this, but still…
