    Word... I hope some 8K @ 144 Hz monitors do get revealed in late 2022 or early-mid 2023 as I think I'll wait for those and until the RTX 4090 is out to start this whole building a PC thing

    @LuciferMorningstar I would say go with the ASUS TUF Gaming X570-PRO

    that’s the same motherboard i’m buying in a few days is it that good?

    I would be going with a mix of workstation and gaming specs if I didn't have the M1 Pro MBP. For my use cases it's already bomb.

    i'll wait for a used RTX 3060/70/80 with a good price.

    can you game well on that Quadro GPU?

    I mean I’ve only had mine for a day but it’s good so far.

    It was a little tough (no pun intended) to put the I/O shield on though.

    best buy made a blog post saying GPUs will be more readily available soon in Canada.

    Nvidia is actually calling it "Restocked and Reloaded" or some bull

    yea the cards are still high af rn

    Lowest I've seen for a 3080 10GB is 1299. I'd cop at that price if it wasn't for tax. S***s like 1500 after tax.

    I think these next few weeks are ones to keep an eye on though. I have seen more available stock than I have seen these past couple months.

    I did it. Blew my money. Newegg was selling a 3080 12GB for just a bit cheaper than some of the 10GB versions so I bit the bullet. And they're doing a $30 rebate thing so I saved a bit more.

    Paid $1447CDN with tax
