Times are changing, but this might be my way moving forward too. Up to now I dont care about how a GPU looks. I slap a waterblock on it. But given the costs of a block now exceeding the price of a GTX690 from long ago.. I need to rethink my plans if I ever buy another card again. Personally, I think im done with GPUs if they continue to be priced out of control.
This 3090ti will hold me well for many years to come.
