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

Fuck nVidia at this point.

Videocard should cost $200-300. I refuse to pay more.

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.

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

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.
