3 reasons I always use older flagship GPUs over new mid-tier models
It just doesn't make sense to keep upgrading my GPU.
In the last few years, getting your hands on a new graphics card for a reasonable price has been challenging, to say the least. The huge demand from data centers and AI workloads has only made matters worse in 2025. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has been officially available since January, but I've barely seen gamers get their hands on one. This comes as no surprise, since the asking price on online retailers like Newegg is $1,000 over the MSRP ($1,999).
