  Video cards tend to be from the entertainment part of the budget, cars are totally different. Cars do last way more than a video card as well, they have increased warranty period(in the EU video cards have 2y, cars usually 5-7y). Cars tend to be purchased on leasing due to their higher cost and actual necessity. So saving 1k on a car usually doesn't transfer to 1k in cash.

    We are already talking about a small percentage of people who wanna buy a graphics card. From those people, it is easily justifyable to spend less on a car, a holiday or rent and instead having a nicer gaming rig. If you spend a lot of time playing games why not? Modern technology is way cheaper than the previous/old status symbols. I'm thinking about buying a car and one simple calculation is still what else i can do with that money. And yes in munich, where i live right now, there are enough people with a car who could use public transport and don't us it. The target group of a 1k graphics card is not someone who can barely afford the car he/she needs every day and would not be able to earn anything if the car breaks down...
