I was watching my local microcenter when the news first broke about the 5070 Ti. At first there were still plenty available around MSRP, about 5 days ago there were some MSI models for $834 and $840 and the rest were $1K+. Looked today and the MSI model they have ~25+ of is $990 and the rest are $1K+. I fully expect within a few weeks you won't be able to get one at all. The DDR5 kit I bought in august is 4x the price.. thankfully I decided it pull the trigger on an upgrade at that point (got the 5070Ti at MSRP) .. i was waffling on waiting. At this point I don't think things are going to be a sane upgrade path until well into 2028.

It will take a big upset and collapse of the irrational AI grab-ass nonsense for this to correct itself. Hopefully the crash will be extremely hard, cost all of the bigshots hundreds of billions in losses and come sooner than later. I'd love to see them totally wipe out and burst into flames in time for Christmas sales in 2026. Would be awesome to see a massive dump of hardware surplus that bankrupt AI companies no longer want or need. I'm sure they already have stockpiles of GPUs, storage and RAM that are not even being used that they will need to dump.

Sorry to hear about the adverse weather. Your temperatures look to be about the same as Brother @Rage Set and a significant portion of the Eastern US (even the Deep South) is experiencing brutal and abnormal ICE and snow, downed power lines, etc. I suspect that Brothers @tps3443 and @electrosoft are also getting hammered pretty severely right now. The Arizona summer heat can be deadly, but Arizona (and most other states in the West) very seldom have severe or catastrophic weather events. Most of the horrible and catastrophic weather events occur in the Central and Eastern states. Brother @Raiderman and I do not see very many temper tantrums from Mother Nature.

an angry thunderstorm now and then. @Papusan -21c is not too terrible. We will get that here in Idaho from time time. 60mph on a snowmobile is not as much fun when its that cold though!
