GPU’s To Become Luxury Items

tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/nvidia-reportedly-raises-gpu-prices-by-10-15-percent-as-manufacturing-costs-surge-tariffs-and-tsmc-price-hikes-filter-down-to-retailers

uh oh, PC sisters I don’t feel so good, these price increases were meant to only affect the console plebs

good, poorfags gonna keep poorfagging

you WILL use forced raytracing
you NEED 20000gb for AI framegen

Become

Lol.

JUST TWO MORE WEEKS UNTIL IT ALL FLOWS BACK DOWNHILL AND WE GET A MILLION DOLLARS EACH BAYBEEEEEEE

I don't think getting to play upscaled smeary slop is luxury, you would have to be delusional to even consider that

thanks drumpf

Always was. GPUs were always the most pricy part of building a PC.

Why can't they make these in America?

Why did orange man do this? What does it accomplish?

libs = owned

you must pay $4000 USD

you will get 8GB of VRAM

you must pay $4000 USD

still cheaper in the long run than buying a PS5 with PS+ and $90 no games, PC is the working class platform

I'm mostly making fun of nvidia, not PC

PC is the working class platform

No way. PC gaming is too expensive.

Intel is going to steal the market out from under Nvidia and AMD with their mediocre but very affordable GPUs.

that bitch show her boobs yet?

They've been luxury items for a long time now. I can't even remind the last Nvidia GPU was affordable. I'll be leaning on my 4080 for a long time.

Until every home in America has a 5090, it is a third world country.

Thank christ I bought out last black friday, feels good to be futureproofed for the next 8 years

I want to kill myself
I wanted to build my first PC this year
I WANT TO KILL MYSELF

The era of the wait fags have ended. Sales will no longer exist, and thing will only ever get worse now. Im glad i got my gpu for "just" 750 when i had the chance.

spent over 2 grand on a saxophone instead of building a pc

never even play it

Just get a B580

good thing I boughted 9070 XT last week

As manufacturing costs surge

Manufacturing

You mean exporting.

Vote Trump

Get this

What comes around goes around. (you) voted for it.

Boughted

Sarrrrrr!!!! I redeemed the graphics card sarrr!

If it's tenor how about a trade?

That's just US, right?

Have you tried getting a job and having money

YES!!
I bought the 4080S at release.
Since then I've seen:

Overpriced 50-series

4080S consistently outperforming 5080

5090 power cable melts within months

False advertisement and attempt cover up: missing ROPs

I love it. I made such a good decision getting the 4080S. This card will last me 10 years. Long enough to ride out the current bullshits until the bubble bursts.

No. Instead of increasing the prices by 200% in the US, they'll increase it by 50% globally, to minimize impact.

Look, the tariffs only apply to the US market but the prices will have to also rise in europe because... uhh.... look they just do it's inflation okay?

Most people who voted Trump don't give a shit about vidya, troon.

trade for what
it is a tenor

Now that nobody will be able to reasonably afford mid-high end PC components anymore, will epic finally optimize the piece of shit UE5 engine or will AAA start massively cutting back on the scale and graphical fidelity of their games? Something has to give, because $80 games that aren't finished and are unplayable for everyone is just gonna kill the industry. (finally)

i've never been able to afford a high end gpu but now i can't even afford a mid-range gpu fuck..

why didn't you get a job and save money

It's console gaming that's getting way to expensive. Atleast a PC can be used for other things as well as just emulating older or newer consoles. Atleast if a PS5 could support PS1-PS3 ISOs I can understand the novelty in having one.

I'm still using a 1060. There are so many games on my backlog that frankly I haven't even looked at a new game in years. Fuck the police.

You will pay $1500 for a 5080 and you will be happy

It's okay, the prices will come back down eventually, just like they did after covid :)

Just make shit outside taiwan and china and stop being addicted to slave labor. This is an oligarch problem. Not a me problem.

i didn't pass my driving lessons but i'm going to try again

spend $90 on a "broken" double french horn

get it and find out it's not broken

I will never in my life find a better deal on anything ever.

Have to spend $3k building a new rig just to get a remaster of a 20 year old game to run at borderline acceptable frames at 1440p

I need a new hobby.

I'm calling Nvidia right now!

watching YouTube videos on weed
video games suck

Are you retarded? They've been that since people started using them for bitcoin mining almost a decade ago.
Not that it matters. Gaming has gone to shit since then too, so there's nothing worth playing that requires an even semi-modern GPU.

Thanks glumpf

Video games aren't a hobby.

That's great but I'm sticking with my 1080TI.

Warhammer or lego which do I switch to?

Nothing good came from computers becoming cheap in the past 30 years. Nothing.

I see b570's going for $330 and b580's for over 400. Everything is jacked way up above msrp

OK, grandpa.

an activity approved by meeeeeee

there you have it

So what are they?

What is a "hobby"?

Lego, but just use LDD or Stud.io to build everything digitally and save yourself the plastic crack.

Nobody cares, they want you to get married and go to church, not play video games. You can afford a GPU when you're old and ready to retire like everyone else

You mean again?

Lack of capable foundries. Intel has been fumbling this for like 20 years now and, as far as I know, no one else has tried until TSMC's recent push.

Thank god I don't play video games anymore. Have fun, zoomzooms.

God bless ameritards

just wanted to flex that i snagged a (refurb'd) 4090 for $1400 last year
carry on
bitches

Considering vidya seems to bring us pain and suffering instead of pleasure, video games can't be a hobby.

Literally does not affect me since I've already built my PC
Tick tock tendies, pay up for my games

That's a man.
