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.

I suspect people will just keep their existing equipment running for as long as possible, and secondhand equipment will be worth almost as much as it was when new.
This won’t last forever.

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

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.
