Hey #fedi, fishing for some hardware advice, should I...

(I currently have a 12gb 3060. Eyeballing a 16gb 4070 TI super.)

Seasons of Jason

@DavBot WAIT until after CES, where Nvidia is almost certainly announcing RTX 5000 series. 4000 series should get a bit more affordable after that.

@killyourfm
That is spinning in my head, though I'm also concerned impending US tariffs (canadian here) may keep hardware prices high thru north america.

@DavBot Ohhhh, there is THAT consideration. That makes it a difficult decision to make.

@killyourfm
Ikr... Financing is 200 mo for 6 months. I can give up buying caffeinated drinks, then when it's warmer and dryer in 3 months I can bike to work again freeing up my budget a bit more.

My gut is saying do it because tariffs may cause "hyuuuge" price increases on tech for a long time.
