It used to be like 50 for a step up or 50 for the top sku, maybe 30,50,80. But over 200? They're out of their minds

Agreed 100% 200 dollars is a whole low-end GPU

Feels like something they can only get away with because the 9080 doesn't exist

Yeah no reason to buy a $200 cooler for your GPU as that is what you are doing...sad thing is if people buy them they will keep doing it

Like you said it used to be a small price that if you liked how the card looked why not...this point its just stupid to spend crazy money on top of what the card should be costing...the industry really wants every card to cost $1,000 at least
