Unfortunately, you cannot buy gaming gpus, not because AI data centers are buying them, but because Nvidia would rather produce server GPUs than gaming GPUs. Same for memory. Once the AI bubble bursts, there still won’t be gaming GPUs to buy unless Nvidia and everyone else switch production, and you cannot put a datacenter GPU in a regular computer.

  Right? People have been doing crazy shit to make non-ideal hardware work for them pretty much since computing was invented lol

  Well, apparently an adapter card costs 80€ on AliExpress. But I’m not sure it will just work, maybe you need to get special drivers from Nvidia or something, and after you have the adapter and the datacenter GPU, you need to fashion your own cooling system for the GPU.

Yeah, also even if you coukd, it will still have the crypto problem. Do you really want a second hand GPU thst has been running full tilt for the laat year nonstop?

  It doesn’t matter if it’s only them. They are the suppliers. So even if, say, Asus would like to sell gaming GPUs at a normal price (which they wouldn’t, but let’s pretend) they cannot do that because there is no supply, and the little supply of consumer chips left is sold to those that sell GPU at pumped prices and therefor can give more money to the suppliers
