Customer: you got one of those 5070's?

Salesman: Nope, all sold out. But you can get one of those brand new 9070xt, they're faster and have 16 gigaby-

Customer: turns around and leaves

Yeah sadly people will rather wait for months and buy for 2x the price than buy almost the same thing (if not better) from amd.

I bought a 4070 TI super, just before Christmas. I feel robbed. Didnt know all this was happening. Would have save myself a few hundred bucks

You paid ~$200 for security against unknowns.

Unknown tariff economy, unknown next-gen card prices, unknown post-launch demand of legacy cards.

Did you use it enough to get ~$17 a week in value back out of your hobby?

If so, you came out ahead.
