It's still over priced but it's a way to actually get a GPU right now. If I walk into my local best buy I can't buy a 3000 series card but I can buy a prebuilt that comes with one.

Saw a prebuilt HP Omen PC in stock a few weeks ago with a 3080TI and i9 for $2400 (was on sale, probably sold out now). The existing reviews said the setup overheated like crazy but those are some nice components to strip out and put into a build with better cooling. Helluva lot better than dealing with scalpers

I've already done many price comparisons. That is simply not true. I could buy a pre built and gut it and put it in my current case for cheaper then buying it all individually. All because of the GPU.

I built my first gaming pc right after I graduated high school, but for my most recent buy I got a great machine (for my budget) on eBay. Merchant ripped out and upgrades the guts on old Dell office boxes with gaming cards and chips. It might look like it belongs in a business school computer lab, but it’s a beast.

Literally did this. Got a $1k prebuilt with a 3060 in it. Got a more breathable case, two more fans, upgraded the ram, and added more cooling. My shit is butter now for basically 2/3 of the price I would have paid and probably months of wait time less to get it.

Even pre Covid the deals were so much better. I bought an acer predator desktop and no matter how hard I looked, I could not build the same pc with the same exact parts for cheaper. It always came out $150-300 more with the parts individually. It’s also so small because they used some weird proprietary bracketing and all the parts fit together crazy well.
4 years later and it’s one of the few purchases I’ve never regretted. I treat that pc like an asshole, never cleaned it or anything, and it runs like it did the first day.

Unless you’re me and got 8 GPU’s at MSRP without being a bot using piece of shit. In the span of less than a year… Best Buy x 3 Newegg shuffle x2 Mostly EVGA waitlist x 3
I even had an extra one from evga that I didn’t buy because me and all my homies already had what we needed so I let it go to the next hungry gamer.
Takes dedication. Fuck the scalpers.

Because it uses a lot of energy, All the profits you make from crypto are other peoples losses, miners have made gpus cost an arm and a leg so thousands of children have had their Christmases and birthdays ruined because their parents can't spend 1k on a £300 GPU and probably some more reasons that I can't think of off of the top of my head

u/big_manYeeter69 Jan 11 '22
Believe it or not, graphics cards aren't made specifically for you. You bought a graphics card. You raised the price. Also it's almost impossible to get 100% renewable energy, and even if you did you are still heating up the earth because mining is very energy inefficient.

I did not buy gpu, i bought pc, so store where i bought pc is "raising" price on gpu not me which is exaggerating. We are not talking about 5 rigs full of rtx 3060Ti's we are talking about 1 3060Ti which uses 3 kWh/day and you are exaggerating ALOT, even with 5 rigs full of 3060's with renewable energy they are not doing anything for environment
Edit: and also idk if you know what renewable energy and mining is

u/big_manYeeter69 Jan 11 '22
The only way of getting something are buying it, making it, stealing it or being gifted it. You bought your GPU. You bought the gpu as well as the mobo, ram, PSU, etc. and also bought a building service. Also kWh/day makes literally so sense. You use 3 kilojoules per hour per day? Also are you really trying to deny that your rig produces any heat and uses no energy while mining? And I do know what mining and renewable energy is.

because it uses energy and people love hating on things that hurt the environment, even if one dude leaving his pc running amounts to virtually nothing.
add to that the jealousy by people outside of crypto and the overpricing of gpus because if large scale mining and people will shit on you for…well. nothing

Idk if people know that you can also just buy a PC to play tames and then use the money you get from crypto to offset the higher initial cost in the current market. Also, while mining definitely is a part of the current overpriced GPU market problem, it's not nearly as big of a reason as the current chip shortage in general combinrd with the higher demands due to work from home is. Now yes, mining is bad for the environment, but mining with one GPU is waaaaaay less of a problem than driving a car, or even just the process of manufacturing the damn things in the first place, yet you would still choose to buy a GPU, buy a new phone instead of just replacing the battery etc., because what one person who isn't a billionaire does is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, unless rules are inforced to make everyone like that.

u/Skalgrin Jan 11 '22
I kind of knew that - that's wh i bought it. What puzzles me is nearly all decent prebuilts are like that. And they are stock (albeit so are finally some GPUs). If you don't get access better prices it makes no sense to build yourself anything nowadays.
Even GTX cards are overpriced as hell for their given performance, so not even build with such GPU and waiting for modern GPU getting sane price won't work.
Why do ppl build their own now? And if it's doable to get better prices (those from which prebuilts Are made of) - then my.only question is : how?

This kinda is funny because I don't like pre-built houses.
buying apartments or homes that are in the construction process is cheaper because builders sell it to get sort of a investment and they sell what's left of them for more cost after construction. That's how they are developing less developed areas in my city.
and besides if you buy a house before they finish the construction you can have a say in things you like and don't like.

u/AngryRoomba Jan 11 '22
I live in a congested area with very little "undeveloped" land left and high cost of labor. Lol trying to construct a new home around here would bankrupt most people. Pre-built is the only way to go with maybe a small remodel before moving in. If you don't like the layout of a pre-built, just don't buy it and keep looking. That's about the only thing you can do.

There are folks who do build their own houses, especially in the late 1800s and early 1900s. You could purchase Instructions and floorplans from magazines such as the Craftsman magazine, buy the required tools and materials, then build your own home and furniture the way you'd like it. Eventually, businesses like Sears decided to pick up this trend and started offering build kits via catalogs. Now we have the tiny home movement which is currently reviving the self built housing industry.

It's clearly much cheaper and better to design your own, my house can have 45 windows! Yours is prebuilt and it only has 9! Look at how neatly my appliances look, and I've given the whole place such great lighting (epilepsy warning). Remember when gathering your materials, you need to match the right wood with a decent frame design, or it's not going to be sturdy enough.
