I've been waiting for GPU prices to come back down to earth since 2019. I really hope you're right in a few more years.

In between the crypto scams and the AI hype, there was a brief moment of maybe a few months were GPU prices were affordable. Not good, but affordable enough so that normal people could buy them.

Yeah I vaguely remember some xx60 card being somewhat comparable to the 1060 if you counted for inflation for a little while.

I think we're at the point where PCs are an afterthought in the GPU market, and have been for a long time.

I have an 8th gen i7 that's still rocking it, also a 4070 which helps a lot too. Truth be told, I haven't encountered a game I /want/ that requires sky high specs anymore.

If they keep pushing their cloud renting models it will last forever.
