Honestly, I'm just keeping my money in my saving account. No way I'm spending my hard-earned money on overpriced stuff, I can wait a while longer, and I'm considering a Steam Deck as my daily driver. Not a beast, but not excessively priced either.

Same. I'm happy with my 7900XTX that I bought in 2023.

These days I only use Amazon for small things, and lately have decided to go back to individual specific websites for whatever it is I need. There's hardly even a price difference at this point.

I was looking to get a 7900 XTX, and then once the 5090 released all the sellers jacked the price up on the 7900 XTX to about $1500 USD

Naturally.

I'm not gonna lie, it's really tempting to just sell my 7900XTX for basically what I paid for it ($1000) and pick up a 9070XT for $600 instead. Easy $400 that I can throw at my motorcycle project.
