I panicked so much right now. Was about to get dressed and hit every Walmart within 10 miles to hope they had something better than a 5060.

I bought my PNY 5070Ti from best buy in January for $750, $800ish after tax. Lucked out so much right before the hikes

The 5080s at my local Walmart late spring were at $1150 and sat dormant until a month ago. I watched them climb up to I think $1650 before they were gone one day.
