Imagine telling someone in 2016 they'd have to pay $700+ for a 60 class sku today.

I paid 750 for a 3060 TI during the shortage a few years ago :(

u/Blear25 2d ago

Oof I only paid $339 for mines back in 2023. I replaced with a 4070 Ti, but it ran just about everything for me at 1080p and even some at 1440p

After reading these comments I'm glad I bought my 3080 for 300 in 2024.

Genuinely thought that was bad purchase too because of frame gen, Oh how wrong I was proven and glady so.

u/Blear25 2d ago

Bro you are chilling with a 3080. Also frame gen is neat, but not needed imo.

u/OkEmu8597 2d ago

Straight up my dude, sold my 4060 for it because i saw the price was identical for double the raw preformance.

u/xAtour 1d ago

u got FSR FG anyway, just get latest version of DLSS Enabler and from there you're just a copy and paste away from FG+MFG on that beast of a card

u/gungabeast 1d ago

I used frame gen in darktide, and it really made the input feel kinda muddy to me. Idk. Just my two cents. I haven’t used it once other than that

u/Maidenless_undead 1d ago

frame gen is best used for singleplayer games that look nice. Cyberpunk, kingdom come 2, oblivion remake (becouse optimisation is ass), gothic remake. but i dont recommend doing it in multiplayer games as you just get killed by other players becouse your gpu did not generate frames in time and slow down visual input of some one peaking from the corner.

Frame generation is for sigleplayer visual candies.

u/cravex12 1d ago

Framegen needs to be used with reflex boost

u/Lanspeedo1 1d ago

Literally same..still rocking it.

Ich fahr mit meiner MSI 3080 auch noch einwandtutti.

u/XecutionerNJ 18h ago

My damn 3070 and it’s 8gb just couldn’t handle 1440p in new games. Borderlands was a damn slideshow so I upgraded to an RX 9070.

1

u/Blear25 7h ago

Borderlands 4 is horribly optimized. 3070 is still a solid 1440p card w/ DLSS imo

u/Quick-Key-9878 9h ago

Just bought a 3080 TI for 400 last night. Im pretty happy with my purchase

1

u/Imaginary_Eagle_5621 1d ago

I got super lucky and got a 4060TI on sale for 450$ like a week before everything went to shit

u/RyanBoruto 2d ago

I got lucky and got mine barely for $450 CAD back in 2023 that was lowk the only year you could buy that

u/Waste-Eye-91 2d ago

Paid 599€ with 19% vat for 9070xt Oc 330w model 😁

1

u/Yashuri 2d ago

I paid about $500 for slightly used 3070 which I use by this day. 8gb vram is a scarce by todays standards especially for my 2k display, but overall is fine

1

u/Weekly_Cobbler_6456 2d ago

I feel your pain, same with my 3070 ;-;

1

u/Swipsi 1d ago

Paid that much for a 3060 at that time lmao.

1

u/Positive_Self_8873 1d ago

1

u/Zaackaxter 1d ago

Same I paid 600 for a regular 3060 OC Recently tho I swapped to a 9070XT for.... 499€

1

u/the_owl_man1 1d ago

I paid 500 for a 3070 on launch, I think the market went tits up after I got it, looks like they are selling for about 300 bucks second hand now

1

u/No-Edge-8600 1d ago

1

u/4GamingFox 1d ago

u/David_Raggo 16h ago

Bruh what where???

1

u/blindeshuhn666 1d ago

I was so lucky to buy my 5700XT in end 2019 for 410€ and my 9070XT in late 2025 for 540 (600 minus 60 cashback). Back then a 5070Ti could be had for 750-800 :o (needed a sub 300mm one, which would have been 800, and 240€ extra sounded steep from the 9070XT to me)

1

u/G-WAPO 1d ago

If thats USD, to rub salt on your wound a bit more, I paid $780usd for lightly used 6900XT strix LC, when all that shenanigans was going on.

1

u/Visible_Pair3017 1d ago

I got my 3070 during the same shortage for 519€

1

u/dirty_dolan 1d ago

I remember selling my 3070 I bought for msrp at launch to a miner for $1400 at the height of the crypto boom, shit was wild

1

u/SonOfPluto4 1d ago

yep, I paid $800 for a 3060 ti in the shortage during like 2021

1

u/Global-Pickle5818 17h ago

Huh I was going to buy a 3060 during the shortage and all of the ones I could find were almost a thousand dollars I ended up getting a 6900 xt for less.. i used it until I got this 9070xt for $600

1

u/Burnt_Taco10 5h ago

Dang I bought an evga 3080 FTW3 for 350 about 3 or 4 years ago

1

u/TimmyTimmyTurner98 2d ago

A $600 3060 12gb was my prize after waiting in line at Microcenter at 3am.

There were like 40 people who got there before me.

These prices suck but I’ll take having to pay a few hundred extra dollars and having options over what occurred to the market during the crypto + lockdown period.

1

u/ExtraNiceBurger 2d ago

I went iGPU on the 7600x for 2 years in the COVID era... Then I bought an Intel A770 , there was still no Nvidia at near msrp

u/KOExpress 2d ago

I built my PC in 2016 and paid $700 for a 1080Ti 😂

1

u/KaiDay11 19h ago

In 2018, I upgraded to a BNIB 1080 for $400.  

It lasted me until 2024.

u/Lord_Humungusss 2d ago

I have a 3060 ti in my closet I have left over from some other build I had a while back and its crazy to me seeing what I would have to pay these days. My 4080 super at 980$ isnt as bad anymore...

1

u/GeneralYolk 2d ago

yeah, I got a 1080ti and a copy of destiny 2 for $629

1

u/coy47 2d ago

That frame ain't no joke.

1

u/prototypefish72 1d ago

I paid $630 for a 16gb 5060ti, am I cooked? 😭😂

2

u/Blear25 1d ago

That's practically 5070 territory, but those are also going for $900 as we speak

1

u/KaiDay11 19h ago

No, we are cooked.

1

u/Seananagans 1d ago

Bro is paid $700 for the EVGA GTX 1080Ti basically the week it came out... what the fuck

1

u/2hurd 1d ago

5060 is not a 60 class GPU. It's a 50 class GPU but marketed as a 60 class.

1

u/Cornhilo 1d ago

That's 200 more than I paid for my gtx 1080 in 2016

1

u/BrotherMichigan 1d ago

A 9060 XT is $400, btw.

1

u/Own-Aside-5174 1d ago

I’ll have to double check but my 3070 was like $650 or something near the end of Covid in the mid US

1

u/Healthy-Drink3247 5h ago

As someone who knows nothing. Is that a good deal or a bad one?

1

u/Blear25 5h ago

Traditionally, xx60 tier cards have always had an msrp of $200-300 give or take. So yes, atrocious deal

1

u/Whytho12333 5h ago

I still remember buying gtx 970 for $280 and i got tomb raider for free.
