Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

eBay?
It has been the plan to kill the "Personal" computer. They want to move everyone to a dumb terminal. Where you will pay a subscription for a certain level of performance and a subscription for additional services. Why do you think they are building our all these huge data centers all over the world. They are not just for AI and surveillance state. You will own nothing or any privacy and like it!

Man my Walmart got rid of their 5070Tis and just has 5080s in stock now for $1200... rough times ahead. 5070Ti was the best value card this gen IMO, besides a lower tier 5060Ti maybe. 5070 is a bit of an awkward duckling with 12GB VRAM.
who is they ? at the current margin, I am not sure they mind selling stuff at all....
Intel consumer business is still more profitable, memory maker has well, Apple I do not imagine has plan to kill the expensive iPhone to turn it into a dumb terminal until sales ever go down, Nvidia just launched a line of very powerful personal computer, some new cars launch with a large amount of personal compute in them, billions of personal robots will has well.
They want to make money, if people are ready to pay fortune for personal computer they will make them and you avoid a lot of cost and issues if you push the super expensive hardware cost/electricity/cooling into/zoning-water trouble into the customer hands nowaday.
Someone needs to crank out those new 3060s!
I just searched walmart.com out of curiosity and there's a bunch of opportunistic 3rd parties already pushing $1500-1800 5070Tis (although there's still a lot of $1000-1100 models.) For comparison Microcenter's still in the $1000-11000 range too, with a few around $1150.

I hate typing this but:
Instead of subscribing to a PC (too much freedom), you subscribe to a game instance on a docker. This way you log into the game and not the PC you would not have access to the PC. The entire instance is immutable. They will sell it as "no need to install" and "no more cheaters".
On their side they just fire up what ever docker they need when needed.
Maybe you can "purchase" the game instead of subscribing to it. Since TOS redefines the word "purchase" and "buying" they can shut off the game after they come out with the next version of the game.
Good luck everyone.

You can still get RTX 5070 Ti's at Newegg for $909.99. Discount codes for certain RTX 5070 Ti's bring the prices down to $909.99 before taxes. Trade-up one of your RTX 3070's or 3080's, and you get $200 or $290 trade-in value, respectively. It's about the same or slightly better than selling on eBay after fees and shipping.
lol no man, I bought a falcon Northwest tiki with a 5090 then i called falcon northwest and asked them to sell me another one for my "other computer" I don't have the other computer anymore but i will always be in the system for that build LOL BAM.
I am slowly getting off my ass and doing things each day to get ready to use it. It still going to be about 2 weeks before i use it

...5 years, so just in time for the DRAM super cycle to peak and DDR6 transition to reach the mainstream phase.
