edit: ah, different card: scored a 3060 ti for the GF late last year. Apparently NOT the big bad 12gb beast that came out today. Oops. :)

Great get! Even with less V-Ram, the Ti version is far better. :)
I already see a scalper listing for a 3060 on ebay for a 'buy it now' of $1078.50 lol |

The 3060 TI wasn't much cheaper than that retail, to be honest. And she was running a GTX 970 (as was I until a year ago), which is a surprisingly difficult card from which to upgrade, financially. But since we play some form of PC game every day together, I saw no reason not to risk pissing her off by getting her something she outright said she didn't want (that and I was epic desperate for Xmas gift ideas by late November last year, Covid and all). Ironically I realised a week later that she didn't actually have Breath of the Wild for her Switch, so in the end she got one present she actually wanted, and one she didn't but imo definitely needed.
Unfortunately her monitor is much harder to upgrade: she has a 2012 24" Cintiq for her work that's almost died a few times since. Not the best for gaming but it does the job. Ideally it'd be a side-table second monitor with a proper gaming monitor but the damn thing weighs like 30kg... https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable.

I used up all my irl rng when I got a PS5 digital edition from Playstation Direct a couple of weeks back.
My PC is still in good shape atm, so I can afford to wait a bit until stock somewhat improves here. The situation we tech customers are in today overall is fucking terrible.

" The regular 3060 is not a big bad beast, the Ti is much better so you're not missing out on anything |
|
" eh, as I elaborated, it was a massive upgrade from her 970 either way, so yeah, not in the slightest bit worried. https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable.

Lmao, I got a new PC rig that sat without a GPU in it for 3 months, because the RTX 3080 was DOA, and 3 months went by, and they couldn't replace it, so I just took a refund on it. It had a stock water block on it, cost about $1000.
Ended up selling the partial PC build for what I had in it, seeing as how there was a 0.0000% chance of me getting a 3080 and a water block for it any time this year. I put money in building a custom loop too, the first time I did a custom water cooled loop. Close to a $4k PC build. Given the current market on PC parts, and there being no projected end to it any time in the foreseeable future, I'm done with PCs until they segregate consumer/gaming PCs from coin mining, if they ever do it. I'll find a new hobby, like nitro RC cars. They're not cheap. Gonna just game on consoles, recently bought a Switch, and PS5. I might get another year of decent gaming out of my current PC. If things settle down next year, I'll look into doing a new rig with whatever the latest parts are. If they don't, then I won't be giving nearly as much money to that sector of the economy ever again. I don't blame the coin miners, I blame AMD and Nvidia for not properly segregating the market.
