That’s not that bad then. Are you going to sell your HOF? 

 

Yep, not bad when we see how the prices are in other places around the world. Still, awful pricey.

 

Not sure I want that. I'm an collector of rare cards. I would prefer to keep it. And never dumb have a newer card as spare. And I won't get a better card if I need more than the 5090. Put it this way... Buy two 5090's won't happen 🙂

Are you swapping from the 9950X to a 9950X3D?

No. I have no interest in X3D. It's of zero value to me. The only thing that would make it interesting to me is if all or most of them have higher overclocking headroom and less disparity between CCD silicon quality. I'd go for one if that were true, but I don't give a hoot about the gaming cache thing. I'd consider paying $200 more for a 9950X3D to gain an average of 10 to 20 FPS on a system already gaming well over 100 FPS to be a frivolous waste of my money and a benefit I would seldom use. Unfortunately, the X3D chips are clock-blocked like all the others. Your max functional core ratio is more or less what the Red Team Nazi dictatorship decides it is going to be before the product is released to manufacturing.

Well, this generation is probably one of the few where not upgrading is the smart move. If it wouldn’t had been for Nvidia handing me a 5090 through their gamer priority access which is already too high at $1999. I had completely given up on the concept of upgrading and was going to be content with my 4090.

 

Hopefully you find a 5090 for a better deal than here in the USA though. Everything is seriously overpriced EVERYTHING. Intel ARC B580’s are selling for $350+ maybe even $400.
 

I listed my Intel B580 Steel Legend OC and originally started at $200 dollars shipped. Minimal interest, and then I bumped it to $250 and sold it right away after changing the price.

LOL they probably thought it was a scam cuz it was TOO cheap and once u bumped it up it came into the realm of "possibility" of it being real 😄 crazy times

They did think I was a scammer. Great point. And I typically do want PayPal F&F. ALWAYS. lol. 
 

After I sold the GPU and accepted payment from someone else, they were reaching out to me trying to see if I’d accept a PayPal F&F payment on a GPU that was already marked sold. (two different people did this) I think they were just playing with me or something at that point. I’d never do that.

I am not sure of the venue where you sold it, but if it was overclock.net marketplace I could see people being wary of scammers because there were some hacked accounts where scammers were coming out of the woodwork recently. I remember one guy whose account got hacked had 4 or 5 RTX 4090 being offered for a suspiciously low price. It is generally a very trustworthy group of people to trade with apart from those examples.

So these two guys thought I was a scammer apparently so I’m gifting an RTX 3060 12GB to this guy. I’m only doing this because my son is getting upgraded to an RTX 3090FE anyways. HUGE upgrade for him, and giving the RTX 3060 12GB really passes along the good will. I feel terrible for this “Nanoscale” guy because he was recently scammed by one of those RTX 4090 FS threads that you are referring to. It’s very unfortunate.
 

This is the thread I’m taking about.
