    I mean, honestly if I had the extra cash, I'd buy one of these pre-built deals, use the parts I wanted to upgrade my own build, and sell the rest piece-by-piece, potentially for a profit of sorts.

    Agreed. I've thought the same thing from time to time. I have doubts that I would have the inclination to spend time trying to sell the parts though. That's just me.😊

    Well, the problem with keeping the good parts and selling the rest means the other person has the opposite problem. Getting the expensive parts to plug into the cheaper parts you have discarded. It would have be an incredible deal for them to consider it.

    Basically, are you really saving money if you have to sell the discarded components for half their value?

    Spam and scams are also pretty annoying these days when you post things for sale.

    Yep. While I think Nvidia's new logo should be a guy with a mask and a gun.. with the new company slogan.. "Give us your money.. all of it!"😁🙄 I would like to see what the RTX 6000 series GPUs will look like, with fingers crossed that it be a better design than the 5000 series. I know.. "Hope springs eternal in fools."😏 Thanks for your reply and stay well.

    6000 series isn't likely for another year, probably into 2028.

    My guess would be they will prioritize more silicon to AI, DLSS, and Ray Tracing and leave rasterization basically where it is at. They may finally opt to use the 3Gb chips and give us 9,12,18,24 GB variants of cards. Beyond that, another small node shrink. But their pursuit for ever higher performance will likely keep the 90 class cards near the 600W max. Hopefully mid-range power consumption finally comes back down.

    I suspect AMD will carry on with their mid-high end offering, maybe match Nvidia with 24GB versions of their 16GB class cards. I will probably pick up a 10070 XT or whatever they call it.

    Intel seems to be done with discrete gaming cards, but maybe they will keep making workstation cards. I wouldn't mind getting a used Intel B70 at some point.

    Interesting. You know a lot more about the specs. and so on than I do. I try to keep up by watching the well known YouTube Tech channels, but I admit that a lot of the info they offer goes over my head. Thanks again for your kind replies... as us old Star Trek fans say.. "Live long and prosper!🖖"😊

    Good point. Well, in my case, I would be selling the RAM as well, so I wouldn't be trying to sell just 'junk.' But yeah, agreed it would need to go for cheaper than retail to make any sense.
