All I'm really getting from the price increases that are coming is I'll be sticking with my 9070XT for probably 5 years like I did my 2080 lol. But it's nice to know the reference cards are good now.

Time to sell my 5090 then? 5k is mad.
Represent.

5000 dollars and I have to wait 5000 years to play GTA6?
Fuck off. 5000 USD is like 8000 CAD. 8000 for a fucking GPU? Suck my ....
I ws planning on building a PC too, but i guess now i never will.

If you want better imaging, why go for what finally beats DLSS 3. DLSS 4 is even better still and supported in way more games.
It depends on the game but the 9070xt is pretty much neck and neck with the 7900xt, with a one card edging out the other but no clear winner.
Outside of raster performance the RX 9000 cards perform better than the RTX 3000, but IMO not as well as the RTX 5000 series. Hopefully RDNA5/UDNA ends up closer to NVIDIA's RTX 6000 offering. RX 9000 brings that interesting tech, but it's still worse than the last time they didn't compete which was the 5000 series. At least with that you got the $500 5700x which was neck and neck with the previous gen $700 1080ti. The 9070xt is raster of a 4070ti, but loses with DLSS, path tracing, etc.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I guess I should buy now then? Kind of annoying. I bought a fuck-ton of RAM, every component for a top-end build, and a 4090 last year, but returned it all... it was a bit overkill and I wasn't 100% happy with how things were coming together (i hate stupid rgb stuff on everything, and stuff didn't match). Figured I'd rebuy when the 5090's hit, have a nice looking kit that wasn't a dorky light show. AI and these greed-fueled fucks screwed everything up. Now that same RAM is so expensive lol. Ugh.
Maybe I should buy the card now and sit on it for a bit... idk.

Some are already $4800 here (about 3500 usd) and if the price keeps going up I could see it getting pretty close especially if they cut the production like was rumoured.

Another moronic comment from a person that doesn't understand that their beloved console uses both a GPU and memory. Not sure why you would think that consoles are immune to the price increases.

Imagine thinking that these price increases won't have a huge effect on your beloved consoles. You somehow see this as some kind of victory when in reality (in the real world and outside of safe walls of your parent's basement) this is a net negative for everyone.

Why people are stupid ?
Is it so hard to use the brain cells ? I really fear the new generation of kids with mushroom haircut and beyond. The stupidity is unmatched .
Why these people think it's only PC that is getting hit ? When all companies including their fav console maker is also gonna have a price increase in their hardware ? And that include the peasant spec hardware from 2020 and 2024 refresh garbage and their future systems.
God damn

You are right. I'm forced to pay $5000 because there are no other GPUs to buy in the market. Only the 5900.Imagine spending $5000 to play games.

You can get 12 month PS plus sub for $70 directly from Sony. Cheaper if you use key shops.

- A report reveals that the price of the RTX 5090 will increase up to $5000 USD in 2026.
- This massive increase is due to a memory crisis and the industry's increasing focus on AI.
- The price increases are expected to happen every month and will affect the entire product line.
I member paying 810 euro's for a 3080 feeling i overpaid little did i know.
The fucking card would end up costing 2500
and the ram was also fucked. Tripling.We all had this happen before guys calm down… pc gaming is dead anyway.
Let's just hope the new steambox is less fucked

Explain to me how a card doubles because only one part of it in RAM doubles which also isn't what manufacturers are paying either?
Scam pricing, if true. Nothing more. Just like the BS tariff excuse record profit companies were using to fleece the consumer.

Depends on what you can get for your 7900XT. I haven't looked on ebay at prices recently. If it would cost you less then $300, and that's not painful to you, I would consider it. It's a minor step down in VRAM, but the ~30% performance uplift seems pretty significant.

Because no matter how awful and expensive NVidia is, people will continue to still recommend it because of inertia, as evidenced by posts in this thread. If people want these assholes to come back down to earth, stop buying their shit.

They act like that because sony hoarded some amount of memory before all this bullshit. Of course at some point next year they will run out of this, and then what?

Still pre-builts available with 5090s and top-end CPUs (and 64GB DDR5 RAM!) for $5K or under. I'd be tempted if I didn't already have a 4090.

5000 I don't think so
But between the RAM and TSCM increasing price of production in 3nm nodes, maybe 3000 or 3500 isn't out of possibility.

Lets not forget, FOMO is a sales driver, and it seems to me that a lot of people are laying it on thick.
At the end of the day its all about supply and demand above all else. Sure, if Nvidia decide to cut 5090 production to the bone creating scarcity, then that'll be the main force pushing prices up, NOT the component cost.
Neglecting to mention this is a very convenient lie-by-omission, as its creating a surge in demand on the basis of what might happen. Not saying price rises aren't definitely going to happen, but I don't think its certain to be the apocalypse some are claiming.

We good.
The AI hype cycle is likely to cool before most consumers either need, or can afford, a major hardware upgrade. In fact, I predict the 2026 holiday season will be a bloodbath when it comes to PC vs. console revenue growth (not total revenue, necessarily).

Got my 4090....and I feel fine. Still going strong and brute forcing these games. No fucking rat race for a stupidly over priced card in this house.

I hate these takes as it piles everyone in the same bucket.
Some actually play the PS Plus games, so for those people, PS Plus can be an overall cost-savings.
I'm a PC main and sub to PS Plus essential. I always play at least three games a year. Look at the list this year:
Our household has played Lies of P, Alan Wake 2, Ninja Turtles, Goat Simulator (kids) and Horizon Lego (kids) this year, with a few others in the backlog. Very good value for me.

You lose all those "free" games once you stop paying. Compare this to Epic game store that gives people games for free forever (including something like GTA5) or amazon prime sub that give people games (PC) forever as well (you don't lose access when sub ends).

Same. I totally use PC GamePass to the fullest.
I'm absolutely saving money on it in comaprison to buying the games.
This year alone, we played:
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Monsters are coming!
The Outer Worlds
Abiotic Factor
Halls of Torment (Dropped)
Voidtrain
Whiskerwood (Dropped)
Crime Scene Cleaner
Ghostwire: Tokyo
Spray Paint Simulator
Atomfall
Blue Prince (Dropped)
Call of Duty Black Ops 6
The Last Case of Benedict Fox
House Flipper (Dropped)
Balatro (Dropped)
Even just the games I dropped most likely would've made 25% of the price I pay'd for gamepass.
I also do not understand why people hate on subscription services. If you want to keep a game, buy it. If you want to just play it once, and it's on gamepass, it's a weird choice not to play it there.
I never understood that argument, because let's be honest. How many people realistically play the games after 1-2-3 years one more time?
Barely anyone, and those people will most likely buy the game instead of playing it on Gamepass. Most people will not mind loosing access to a game they finished already and will not play a second time anyway.
I finished those game and to me, it makes no difference if I'd lose access to them now or sometime next year. They are not even installed on my PC anymore.
If there is a game I want to keep playing, I'll rebuy it (did so with Lies of P which I played through last year on GamePass and bought the Overture DLC for it on steam too) and will most likely still save money than having bought every single game I played this year on gamepass.
And to the thread topic, I feel like this, combined with surging RAM prices, just solidified my 5090 to be even more future-proof as I'd assume this at least pushes back next gent consoles by 1 or even 2 years and makes developers focus more on current mid-range for optimizations. Everyone having a high-end PC already will only benefit from this, while people not into gaming yet will be the one that will get hit the hardest since prices for PC parts as well as consoles will soar.

Well I know for certain I'm not going to build another gaming PC. It's either going to be Steam Machine or (most likely scenario) sticking with playing only on consoles. Even when they'll raise the prices it's still going to be a much cheaper option than building a decent PC.

I'm aware- all my buddies play on console so I sub either way. They have no interest in playing with PC players. Doesn't change the value proposition in my use case.
My Epic library has zero actual hours played. I tried Callisto Protocol on Epic and every achievement pop froze the game until the animation completed- lol delete.

They are already quite expensive, getting a 5090 at msrp is quite hard. I cant imagine trying to get it at below $4000 after the price increase.
