    this might be the last opportunity for a lot of people to buy cards for the foreseeable future.

    That and my regret over not upgrading early in the covid era were the driving forces in my decision to build a new machine last month. I wasn’t expecting the 9070 cards to reset the gpu value charts. I was surprised when they did for a short time at release but they were still outside my price range. I was lucky enough to snag a used 6900xt at a good price which should be enough for my needs for at least a couple of years. Hopefully by then, the 9070xt will be well supported in linux and easier to buy.
