Seeing the RX 7600 leap so far ahead in higher resolutions in CS is interesting. Ultimately both seem.. ugh.

Both team green and team red thought they could charge pandemic era scalper prices this generation, which of course wont happen because ETH mining is dead

I wonder if we will ever see a proper return to form for GPU pricing. As you mentioned, most if not all other PC hardware has come down to pre-pandemic pricing but without GPUs joining them it makes budget builds impossible*

Unfortunately, I think no. Nvidia sells every AI chip wafer they can get from TSMC, so if gamers won't pay the same margins as datacenter customers Nvidia will simply stop selling to them. As such, Nvidia does not need consumers/home users anymore.

As for AMD, they just decided their pricing strategy is "whatever Nvidia does, but 10% cheaper"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
