Congrats, and meanwhile Iāll be sticking with my GTX 1650 for a long time stillā¦
Let us know when youāll open a Patreon to get back all the money youāve spent on this.

If i will be able to sell my 5700 XT whole āupgradeā will come down to very reasonable price . But that is āifā . Since crypto currency has crashed again demand for GPUs also went down. Few months back i could easily sell it for 600 euros , now i will be happy if it will turn me 400.
On the side note. These new cards are getting so ridoculous in sizeā¦

Yeah, they are absolutely gigantic these days. Hopefully it will fit in your tower with some room to spare!

One of the reasons Iām still using a 1070 is because I have a āmereā mid-size tower and I donāt think thereās room for the new cards in there 
(The other reasons are the power draw and cost.)

It did fit with 2 cm to spare . Ofc before buying it i checked the clearances inside the case ! 
@eishiya I also do use āmid-towerā but i guess they do vary in size . Mine supports up to 35cm GPUs and this one is 33cm . That said it is one of if not the largest 3070 partner design . Cooler is just a massive chonker.

It does seem that i have misjudged the current used GPU market. Few months back i made a ātest saleā to see what kind of interest there would be , and people were calling me at 3 AM trying to buy my card, but now it looks like no one is efing interested.

Looks more like a rotten banana to me. Gummy squirrels should come in packaging and be edible so @AcornAvenger can get some revenge.

Hello everyone! 
Iām not sure where to post an irl update, hope here is okay? Sorry Iāve been gone so long!
Iāve had a bit of a struggle these last two years. I was in a really bad relationship, and my therapist has confirmed I was emotionally abused in it (I constantly felt I was the one in the wrong, and my ex would turn fights and situations around on me to convince me of that, would stonewall, gaslight, etc). I didnāt even realise while I was in it, and the relationship affected my self esteem and energy levels (I eventually got to a point of exhaustion that I stopped seeing family and friends, even losing a friend in the process). I didnāt leave because I thought we were in a bad place because of me and I was trying to constantly work on myself while simultaneously worry about them and what they were doing (because they lied a lot). Even at the end, they said they had done absolutely nothing wrong throughout the relationship and Iāve been angry since I found out it was abusive.
Besides that, I work full time and Iām studying a BA (as a distinction student) so it left me with no time to recover any energy and I was constantly burnt out.
Iām in final year at the moment, and actually looking for a new company. But the next four months are going to be hectic
I am doing much better now though! No longer in that relationship, I have a lot more energy back despite all the working and studying. I made a new best friend at university, stayed with her a month in Cape Town (I live in Joburg) and Iāve decided I want to move down there to be with the ocean, and amazing people. Iām happy, just busy 
TL:DR: I was in an abusive relationship and stopped even seeing family/friends, and I work and study full time so I just disappeared. But Iām happy now! And a mysterious squirrel has summoned me back
Sorry I neglected my acorn avenging duties, I hope I can be forgiven please catch me up on everything and how you are all doing!!
