Why are you guys acting like you need a new graphic cards every year? How privileged are some of you?

I buy a 3090 and for the next 10 years, i don't want to think about graphic cards anymore.

I also had my 1070 for 8 years and had no problems.

There's people that get new cars every year and they hardly drive. If you can afford it, sure, go crazy. But if it is actually preventing someone from moving out of their parent's house, they are making some bad financial decisions. Unless of course mom and dad want you there forever.

And a lot of people have very little in savings and no retirement fund. What you can afford vs what you should afford are not always the same things.

I agree with this statement lol. When I tell some people I have 3 different accounts for retirement and other investments, they look at me crazy.
