There is no likely scenario in which I would pay $2,000 for a video card.
I’m sure there would be a few, surely? Multi-million dollar lottery win; finding an old USB key with a bunch of bitcoin; discovering an oil/gas reserve on your property; finding a suspicious unattended briefcase filled with unmarked bills; an unexpected inheritance from a previously unknown great-aunt, provided you spend a night in her haunted manor…
…yoy know, just those usual circumstances that happen to all of us!
Well, time to look for used then. $549 for the lowest end card is almost what the highest used to cost
Or you could consider alternatives, since Nvidia abusing their market position and customers not caring is exactly why the prices keep going up.
Even I wouldn’t pay this ridiculous price, and I do animation (hence GPU rendering) for a living.
