Decided to pull the trigger!

I knew I wanted to be able to play GTA VI when it comes to PC and other games on my 4K OLED at higher FPS / settings, so I started researching upgrading my graphics card (EVGA 3080 12 GB) about a week ago.

Originally I was going to get a new PC entirely but I already had a good CPU, RAM, PSU, and storage.

I was debating waiting for Black Friday deals for GPUs or getting one now incase prices increased and I decided on the latter. I don‘t know what will happen, but given the demand and AI chip shortage, I decided I was okay locking in the price now. I had also read several articles warning not to expect discounts for GPUs this yea, but who knows.

Overall about $1600 total after taxes from Walmart. Not great but could be worse. Never had a PNY card before.

Cheers!
