// UPDATE AUGUST 5 2025 //
ATTENTION!
There’s a rumor going around that NVIDIA will cut the prices of the 50 series near the end of August, so I’d suggest holding off just a little longer before buying a GPU.
Coincidentally, I just finished making a telegram bot in n8n that gets the current prices from amazon and then posts the best ai hardware deals in a telegram channel daily (along with some other ai related things).
