I've decided to stop chasing the Tiger Tail of PC gaming, for the small amount of gaming I do I've opted for a PS5 with PlayStation VR2 (pre-order) and a Geforce Now Ultimate (4080) subscription!

Yeah Asus your ada sales suck in the UK, try not charging dumb prices and these schemes would not be necessary. Still they only offer £230 for a 3060ti so no one is taking them up on this garbage offer.

Not sure if that says more about how overpriced the 2nd-hand market is or how much Asus is taking the widdle.

Who is buying a £700 3070ti? no one, greedy lot need to clear all that **** with big price cuts.
Soldato
That would be both Nvidia and AMD taking the widdle, and Asus, anyone else would just sell their card for more elsewhere anyway.

reminds me of the housing market, same thing the big developers do
De Beers was the OG of restricting supply to create a perception of rarity and by extension higher prices, diamonds are pretty much worthless but he set-out to buy up the global supply (all the diamond mines) and only release x number of diamonds onto the market per year.
So you spent over a grand plus £25 a month for RX 6650 XT performance, £70 games and game streaming?
Did see documentary about this, apparently they have storage somewhere in London where they keep all the diamonds they haven't released.

Have you seen the reviews of the Sony VR2, it looks epic!
I can't tell if the jibe about the 6650 performance was in relation to the Sony or game streaming, currently playing Cyperbunk RTX with everything on at 120fps with Geforce Now Ultimate!

It didn't mean to come across as a jibe and the 6650 comment was in relation to the ps5. Anyway, I just can't see the reasoning as you'll spend way more money long term for subpar performance.
My experience with streaming has been really bad even though I wanted it to be good and Cyberpunk released and flopped years ago.

And look, GPU player nr4 is approaching: https://videocardz.com/newz/chinese-moore-threads-mtt-s80-gpu-can-run-crysis
Potentially nr.5 as well if you count Zhaoxin/Glenfly but they don't seem to be aiming gaming yet but who knows what will happen if margins stays high...
