People are going bankrupt after buying a 5090 Astral... I went broke with just a 4060 laptop, even before the big price hike.

Congrats, this card is massive. You can also undervolt it for extra performance and lower power draw. I got ~3% performance gain after undervolting.

I definitely wouldn't panic-buy since AI-related shortages are so unpredictable. If you have the cash, who cares.
