Unless you run a bot, good luck with an upgrade. Then they become available just in time for the new hotness. Running a 970 and want to upgrade. Blah.

Prebuilts are a good option as well if your CPU is up for upgrade and you can swing the higher cost. They don't go out of stock quite as quickly. That's what I did to get my 3080.

what if production just never meets demand and the only way you can ever get a graphics card again is through a bot scalper

In 6 months there will be more stock than people know what to do with, probably even for mid range cards which are just getting released. A watched pot never boils right, just have to be patient.

Who did you go with? I'm seriously considering this cause I can't get one to build it myself.

Unfortunately everything in my rig is within two years old except the video card. But that might be the next route I go if this continues to be an issue with production

Then perhaps I turn to the dark side.

This. I might need to upgrade a couple of things and might consider prebuilt

I was considering upgrading my computer before Cyberpunk came out since it only meets the "minimum" requirements rather than the "recommended" requirements, but since I can't even buy a new graphics card I'm just going to hope it runs well enough.

I happened to catch a pretty good deal on Best Buy's website for a CyberPowerPC build with a 10900K and 3080 for about $2k total. Machine seems fine, although I did buy a GPU brace for it, and replaced the 120mm AIO cooler with a 360mm one - the 120mm was nowhere near enough cooling capacity for the 10900K.
