    A used 3090 alone is like what, 4-5k now?

    Your setup isn’t really achievable for most now.

      Lol what? I just checked, on eBay I can find a lot of offers between 800 Euros and 1300 Euros for a used RTX 3090. 4-5k would get you a brand new RTX 5090.

        Okay, not as bad as I thought, there’s a guy selling a 4090 for “only” 2k. There’s nobody selling a 3090 in the local hardware forum. I’m not going to buy off ebay because if someone on ebay sells a dud, I can’t go back to punch him in the face.

        5090s start at about 5200, that’s true. To be fair, the “4-5k” for a used 3090 was a bit hyperbolic, I’m just mad that they’re so expensive that my last 2 cars cost less than a USED 4090.

      The 3090 is from 2020. It’s under $1300 based on eBay prices I’m seeing (which is around what it launched at).

      Crazy expensive, but not $5K.

      The 128GB RAM is madly expensive now, though.
