Anyone else have AI fatigue?

AI is the new NFT.

And right as crypto died off AI took off. We never had a break to get cheap GPUs.

i mean you can the people mostly doing AI arent buying Intel/AMD gpus.

Unless you're of the type who will only buy Nvidia, then you're part of the problem.

New and used GPU prices are still high. Right as prices started to dip close to reasonable levels all the 4090s started getting snapped up drying up the high end of the market. And with the horribly overinflated MSRP of mid range cards they've stayed high instead of dropping to a level that's actually reasonable for their performance. It's trickle down economics, but in the worst way possible for the consumer.

AMD/intel prices are dictated by what Nvidia does

It is unfortunate but amd is just not competitive at the top tier of GPUs. You can make the argument that AMD cards are good enough, but DLSS is just magic that AMD cannot touch.

and it doesnt need to be, thats where most gpus arent sold numbers wise (well outside of the fact that the 7900 XT sells fairly well, due to pricing)

Like Marvel and Star Wars, friend.

Enough is enough.

Sorry to hear that. Can I interest you in some Taylor Swift gossip or the latest news story about what Elon pooped out of his mouth this morning?
