This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
Used 3080s are still around 400 dollars. They're still better than all new cards in that price range, and are the only thing worth buying unless you're going all the way to a 4090 or 5090. If you're screwing around with text generation (or to a point, image generation with the bigger models) then you buy a 3090 (the 4090 cannot do anything the 3090 can't, and the same is also true of the 5090 to an extent, because that task is VRAM limited and if you have to dip into system memory they're all going to be slow).
Today's GPUs are priced more or less fairly given the performance they yield. That's the entire problem with them.
