    GPU prices are already falling, can’t wait for the drop when the used ones from suddenly not financially viable mining farms start hitting the market.

    Buy the (GPU) dip!

        Lol. This is not GPU-investment advice, etc etc. 😉

      I said the same thing on Mastodon earlier today… I might finally be able to build a new PC to replace my 7 year old system.

      At the same time more players are entering the GPU field. Intel is building a discrete GPU for the first time and there are a few new Chinese companies.

        Intel has been trying to make a GPU forever, they suck at it really bad.

          Intel sold those crappy HD graphics chips for years. But their latest Iris and Xe onboard graphics are suprisingly good, and Arc discrete cards might not suck either.

            Well, it might not suck, but it’s not so good either
