Cooler didn't arrive until after dinner. If I were twenty years younger I'd have stayed up all night. 😆

As I suspect a lot of people are doing, I'm going to keep using my existing graphics card until RTX 5000 series drops in January. Everything else is new, though. First build in seven years.

New ones are leaked to be much more expensive.

It only makes sense to wait if you were planning on spending $2000 on a new card. The cheaper 5070 won't be out in January.

Yeah if rumors are true they're gonna be hard on the wallet and the power budget, too. Bought a ridiculously large PSU in anticipation. 😆

Not much better. They'll happily grapple onto Nvidias trend of charging an arm and a leg for their products, and instead only charge an arm.
