The july 2023 $100 980 pro thread said the same thing how "This is the ssd you're looking for". Based on my time here on slickdeals occasionally checking in between 2015 to 2025 now generally seeing how tech either stays at msrp, skyrockets past 2k, barely rarely goes under msrp; msrp is basically the best bet deal the common person can get without scouring slickdeals every single day wasting energy when people have better things to do.Do gpus ever go under msrp for reasonably long times for everyone to get those deals if they existed?Rant section. Honestly being here on slickdeals the past decade growing up made me realize how people can generally agree come to a consensus on what is a good deal such as the 700 3080 1080ti 7800xt etc and now this deal. People have better things to do with their life time energy like getting any good deal gpu to help them actually do what they want and realize that trying to chase deals is an endless pursuit that doesn't bring fulfillment. When what truly matters is getting a cheap $100 gpu that would bring as equally good gaming experiences because it's the playing with friends experience multiplayer that matters, not the fancy 4k 360hz 5090ti sli graphics.

I get what you're saying, but gpus do not tend to bounce up and down in pricing the way memory and storage does. At $600 these gpus have tremendous price to performance.

I have been an active online PC Gamer for well over 20 years, and a member of the Slickdeals community for almost 15 years. Most of my hardware has been older models or mid-range at the best. I mean, if you like watching television you could certainly buy a 10-year-old 22-in insignia brand for $20 at a thrift store. Is the important thing just getting the family together to watch a movie? Most people get a lot more enjoyment with a 65 in television with modern technology for a more satisfying experience. Same goes with gaming PCs.

And I think what you don't understand is how many people in the Slickdeals community very much enjoy and find fulfillment out of hunting deals. I love the hobby of building gaming computers and finding good deals to make a nice build is extremely satisfying. If you don't, then by all means don't waste your time doing it.

data centers use DDR6 graphics ram?

datacenters are investing big into GPU-focused compute for AI training.

Was going to recommend Newegg (which I never thought I would again) if you had a trade in but looks like they dropped their trade in prices. Before the drop they were pretty close to what you would get selling on marketplace without the hassle. 3060 Ti trade in was ~$170 just a week or two ago, now down to $140.

Yep I noticed that too

AMD has already said GPU prices will get higher next year due to runaway RAM prices. Probably a good time to buy if you need a video card.

There is a big thread on Reddit discussing how to get this card down to $360 with Paypal pay later and Capital One Shopping savings: https://old.reddit.com/r/buildapc.../?sort=new

I don't mean to dis people here. I guess I'm just jaded with myself missing out on past deals, not going for it and end up missing out on playing with people back in 2016. I'm self projecting my frustration here which I'm don't meant to bring down the community here which is great. People here taught me some good life lessons.
It's good to have deals shown by people here and the deals at msrp are the best most people can realistically hope and actually get outside of ymmv. I remember DDR4 ram costing $100 for 64gb, $150 64gb DDR5 just checking messing around in pcpartpicker thinking that was a good deal and current prices confirm it. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I overthink too much and end up missing out on good deals.

In for a Hellhound, figure getting it near MSRP is about as I'll get. Worried that the spikes we are seeing in the RAM might spilling over. I don't need to use it right away, so with extended Holiday returns I'll see how stuff shakes out.

Still cheaper at Microcenter. Bought one 5 days ago over there. You get addtional 5% if you pay with their WellsFargo card.

If anyone need or want to upgrade, now is the time. RAM price will remain high in 2026, thanks to AI.

Hard disagree. I'm in the tech industry and have lots of friends working in it as well. We all see the same thing with gpus. The high prices fell quick and now even at or a little below MSRP, no one is buying. And these company's won't lower their prices because they'll have to lower the new card prices as well. And they don't want to do that. So they (Nvidia specifically) contacted the memory manufacturers and floated the idea of creating a FOMO campaign to help move over stocked gpus and memory modules. Don't fall for it. It's FOMO. With tRump running the economy into the ground, these cards will be fire saled first quarter 2026. We've got so many retailers trying to send back unsold gpus because they have no room for them.
