I have never been more grateful whenever my monitor arrived from a zero rated eBay seller in perfect shape

Y'all frick around too much re: your monitors. I'm super paranoid about them, and pretty much only go through fully legit merchants

At the time I bought my monitor, it wasn't even in stock at a legit merchant

One thing I'll say about Dell - top notch customer support.
Just called them, and they didn't give me any trouble at all - they are shipping a brand new replacement out to me by air, with the monitor going to be shipped in its box within a shipping box to help ensure that the box isn't damaged in shipping (we'll see... but I've never heard of a manufacturer agreeing to do that lol).
They told me I should get the brand new one tomorrow, and provided me a shipping label to return the old one, without cost.
Can't complain at all about that.

Daaamn. Can't wait to play it again as a new experience on PC. That graphical upgrade is nutty, Tess looks real.

Yeesh @ that sag...
Ok, is there some really weird, significant segmentation between 6900xt? The comparative results line (the little box on the left) has some bizarre jagged peaks that I've never really noticed on any other cards.

AMD seems fairly certain that availability on DDR5 is only going to improve. I’m not sure if I would jump on any DDR5 right now.

Well that's what I mean, it's starting to drop in price now and more and more.
Deals starting to get solid.

Relatively speaking, sure. But you’ve still got three months.

Prices have certainly gotten way better recently at least.
They even have a 2x8 GB kit on newegg now for $94 (Crucial). There's a Patriot 5600 2x8 kit for $120.
Still way more expensive than 3200 and 3600 DDR4 kits, but it's way cheaper than it was early this year.

Yep, and I would keep riding it out. I would also be concerned about getting dead sticks and not testing them until after the return period, then having to deal an RMA.
