Just curious if any of you gamers have been looking to upgrade your video card and how you might have solved the problem (or not).
I recently upgraded my home built computer with a new ASUS ROG Crosshair Hero VIII motherboard and AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-core CPU. I had planned to replace my aging nVidia GTX 1080 video card with an nVidia RTX 3080, but couldn't find one anywhere at a reasonable price, or find one at all. Lately, the RTX 3080's seem to be shipping directly from China and at a very high cost. Also, there is the risk of getting a (very) used one if going that route. So, I passed.
Then yesterday I noticed that Newegg was advertising ASRock Radeon RX6900XT Phantom 16GB video cards, shipped from their own facility. Although I would've preferred the RTX 3080, I decided to go with the AMD Radeon video card. It should arrive today, so after the installation and some game testing (MS FS 2020), I'll report back with my impressions.
