Graphics-card prices are insane right now. Including 4000 series. Including parts even of 3000 series.
Like $1300 for a 4070 Ti Super. That is laughable. I would refuse to buy at those levels just out of moral outrage.

Graphics-card pricing has been insane for many periods during the past 5 years or so. Covid broke the world's competency and supply lines.
Helped by Bitcoin mining insanity, then maybe a bunch of folks thinking they want cards to run AI, so way overpaying for stuff they probably won't use. Or gaming folks who are OK way overpaying. Or a speculative bubble of scalpers buying up all supply.
It's nuts.
