Hmm, cannot speak to if it's any good, but this humble bundle just went up.
https://www.humblebundle.com/softwar...ine-5-software
$25 for $1400 worth of UE5 game dev courses, focused to non-developer/non-programmers

Also, it's only a RX 6600, but today and yesterday, they're hitting MSRP after a small rebate

It's happening.

EVGA is restocked on 3XXX series cards, and some of them have had MSRP lowered.

**Corrderio** · 2022-04-15 14:32

And the 3080s are gone except for one that requires water cooling

I question if anyone here can help me with the first SSD.

**Elizara** · 2022-04-20 09:31

Well, with them being back in stock; maybe the shortage is finally coming to a end.
From Gizmodo..

Am planning on looking into a rebuild once I take care of a few things, maybe a new vid card is in order too. But we will see once I save up the $1k.

Heads up, Etherium just switched over, and GPU prices are dropping.

**Prothescar** · 2022-09-16 14:26

EVGA announced that they're leaving the GPU market. RIP.

**Elizara** · 2022-09-16 14:33

OUCH Proth. What other brand is there that is that nice? I would of bought again from them if they were going to stick around..

**Prothescar** · 2022-09-16 14:36

No other company really offers as compelling a customer experience as evga between their queue system and warranty/upgrade services. For pure product reliability they're all similar and for "premium" gpus Asus will be the main contender.

Companies like Zotac and PNY offer slightly cheaper but less overengineered options, and then you have companies like MSI whose quality is all over the place and customer service can be dreadful.

Can't speak with any authority on AMD cards, I haven't bought one since the 7970, but I hear good things about Sapphire.

**Elizara** · 2022-09-16 15:00

Double ouch. I'd rather have decent customer service, waiting right now for GA to give me their little bonus thing, (They are giving everyone that's using some kinda public assistance about $300 minimum; I'm on Medicaid) then I was going to start looking for parts for a new PC rebuild! (It's about time I did that. This mb and processor is beginning to stink.)

I got a EVGA Nvidia 1060 in this puppy right now, not sure if I should wait and not sure what would be a good budget midrange these days for pc specs.

**Celeras** · 2022-09-16 15:20

I haven't thought for a second about where I was going to buy a GPU in what..... 20 years? eVGA was king. Damn, this sucks. No wonder they cancelled the BUCKS program and made everyone cash out.

**Krandor** · 2022-09-16 15:29

Saying they're not gonna make GPUs anymore is basically them intentionally killing the company.

**Bardicrune** · 2022-09-16 15:39

Nah, they're doing well in the PSU market. It does however make their company name ironic.

**Krandor** · 2022-09-16 15:54

Ok but GPU sales apparently makes up 80% of their business and is where basically all their name brand recognition comes from

**Prothescar** · 2022-09-16 16:14

80% of their sales but not of their actual profits. It's explained in the GN vid but psus have several times higher profit margin for them than Gpus. Overall evga will continue on in a similar vein as seasonic and I could see them expanding other parts of their portfolio such as motherboards in the future

**Melena** · 2022-09-17 03:19

Jayz2cents also went into that about how they are going to focus on PSU, keyboard and mice, and motherboards

And who knows z maybe in a year or two AMD makes a deal with them to go ham on graphics cards
