    The GPU price hike is here and you should avoid any Nvidia card

    Fixed the headline. You’re welcome.

    I’m avoiding computing I guess… I won’t pay those absurd prices, and I will not every pay for cloud bullshit.

    I’ll abandon computing and the internet if it comes to it.

      That’s pretty much the point I arrived at a couple years ago when prices never really did come down after the crypto bullshit tailed off.

      The latest hardware I bought was a 16 GB kit of DDR3 for my spare parts server.

        I bought a 1080 for every computer in the house when all that really went stupid. They paid for themselves in 3 months of mining at night. I eventually stopped because I wanted the cards to last. They all still run.

        I wish I could point and click new GPUs at AI and get them for free.

    The RAM shortage is going to make them a lot of money. Aside from the price hike now, when RAM becomes sane again they can release 16GB versions of the same cards so they don’t even have to come up with new chips.
