Snagged the 4070 super last fall. I knew the orange tariffest would make parts more expensive. There is still time, they should be selling stock here currently at reg prices.

I built my new rig last fall as well... writing was 100% on the wall. A lot of improvements around here got bumped due to tarrifs... so far, every one was the correct play.
I feel like this was supposed to be the overall operating cost is what triggered the 15% raise cuz why the fuck would the manufacturing costs all of a sudden go up? I could see material costs raising, logistical costs raising. Both from tariffs, but unless the legislature for where these are manufactured raised their minimum wage by 15% and Nvidia was paying everyone at the company 15% then where the fuck did the 15% cost increase to manufacture an already produced product come from?
