I’m soo thankful that I’m smart enough not to fall for Nvidia’s marketing schemes
Yes they will drop…if we don't buy them. I personally boycotted 4000 series. Based on people l know majority have done the same.
While the crypto mining boom led to GPU demand prior, now I think it’s AI neural networks that will fuel the next wave. So to me, I’m concluding that the answer is unfortunately ‘no’, and that we need to accept GPU’s are no longer primarily just for gamers.
Home is best! Go back to the garage 🙂 That's what I would do/have done.
Yes Paul, please, tell us what you think, will happen.
Nice.
Happy B-Day and YES, you should be embarrassed…
Seriously, the cards are so expensive that they should recharge my phone if I lay it on top of the chassis.
Paul love your videos I’ve always enjoyed your home remodeling/DYI videos so I’d definitely be happy with that new schedule if you move home
"What do you mean the 4070 is expensive? It's a really good rebranded 3080 Super!"
The result of building more PCMR is that more income joins the group. Drives prices up. If you’re struggling to pay bills you should probably be paying off your debt and not buying a graphics card.
One of the problems with the tech shows is that it normalizes spending 1000s on tech. A lot of people who watch these shows need to invest for their retirement rather than trying to keep up with the Jones next door.
With regards to your office location, it doesn’t really matter to me. The quality and content of your videos has always been great, and I don’t suspect location would change it. I’m sure your community will follow and support you whatever you choose. I know I will.
My guide for a GPU is that I am not paying more for my GPU than my RAM, CPU, MOBO, PSU combined. So right now the GPU needs to be less then $700 & 2x the performance of what I have got or I am not buying it.
The prices of GPU's and everything else, will low down when the pigs will fly..
Hey man. Im new to this pc building stuff and am looking to build a good pc for around 1700$ you mind giving a hand
Brooooo, Paul, the new Lego Channel actually sounds like a great idea, for you. There will definitely be some crossover to help start you off and if you get yourself into YT shorts, you could grow your Sub count pretty quickly, if it's done right. I'm not saying I know what tf I'm talking about hahaha, but I've just seen some people rocket up their sub count pretty quickly in recent times with shorts and I think you would be perfect some fun Lego content. Even if, honestly, it might not be for me, I still think you could kill it!
I would move back home. Pros: No commuting time, money spent is all yours not a landlord, Tax deduction too, and closer to family.
the rtx 5090 will likely be $2000 considering the 4090 has been selling like hotcakes even here in Europe where they charge over $2000
I am sure that GPU prices will go to the same route as cell phones.
New GPU are sold low end $500, Middle range $1000, Highend $2000, super highend $3500+
And one year later $400, $800, $1600, $2999
Two years later $300, $ 500, $1000, $2000
And tree years later $200, $400, $700, $1500
Or something like that. Aka milk customer really hard at first year. Milk customer hard at secon year and after that move to normal prices and tiny discounts after that.
Just wait 5000 series to make that happen!
Move it home for a better life. Close to family is key!
Folks who willingly pay too much for a GPU remind me of those guys who give half their paycheck to their favorite OF model.
When do you think higher resolution higher Refresh-Rate monitors like 8k144hz, 10k etc will hit the market?
I really don't get why AMD did not take advantage of the stupid high prices that Nvidia was asking for their cards and offer much less expensive options? This seemed like a no brainer for a shot at claiming a large chunk of the market and yet greed won over once again. Had they offered the XTX for 800 (or even 700 for a real slap in the face to Nvidia) bucks and the XT for 600 or less, they would have ruled the current market. Seriously, what the hell AMD?
Oh man, yep You found Brinklink, there goes all the income from the channel! lol
you should post lego-based content on your OF! 👌😉
Ofc we want to follow u in your future indevors 🙂
Paul I would love to see videos of you building legos on a secondary channel. With your personality I think you would be awesome to watch building legos
Lego's own promotion material politely requests people use the term "Lego bricks", or just "Lego" as the plural.
Just saiyan.
I too love Lego and had a massive collection as a kid. I haven't used it in many years though as I started playing Minecraft to scratch the block-based building itch.
I liked it when you worked at your home, DIY and more personal, I did my Tesla solar power after you showed yours. I like the Trip to Yosemite too.
Will GPU Prices Ever Drop?
No.
Eventually the only person who be able to afford a graphics card will be Elon Musk. The rest of us will have given up technology entirely, and gone back to playing with marbles.
The only that drop is my jaw, every time I see the price when Nividia launch a new product.
get a big trailer no t a home one empty and sound proof it
I would LOVE to see more LEGO content Paul!
Also will gpu s get evenb bigger?
local used market in my area.. all listings in CAD dollhairs ( ahem )
asus 3080 — $800
reference RX6800 – $550
msi 1650 super – $160
EVGA FTW 3080ti – $1100
reference 3080ti – $900
gigabyte 3060ti – $500
evga 3070 – $650
RX 6600 – $300 …. guy wont @!!@!@!@ respond because they're a douchebag.. aka asking 300, send msg ok 300 sounds good when can i get it… no response…. ok nice…. ads been there for a month
.. remember in 2015 when a 1080 was 900 dollars.. and it sounded ludicrous.. yet in hindsight you could still be rockin that card today and doing ok? yet now something equivalent to that now is $3000?
… its insane
16:20
maxPC and PCbuilder mags were a godsend, so much goodness.. they clued me in to Intel selling the 2600K for a very reasonable price back then…
god in hindsight i should have bought 4 not just 1
Whatever choice you make about staying in the office or moving back home, I will follow. Just make sure you keep Joe in the mix. Love your vids and would always seek them out regardless of where they originate. Thanks. PS Happy Birthday!!!
GPU manufacturers are artificially manipulating the supply system by buying up their own cards to keep the demand up
I'd take a couple hour long LEGO build video
