Gamers and LLM/AI/ML GPU users do not find that absurdly priced. Absurdly priced in our world is $15,000 so your perceptions are off by about a order of magnitude.
- __loam 3y agoI can assure you a $1,500 graphics card is a big luxury for most gamers. https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Softw... 3090 isn't even in the top 30.
- ryanwaggoner 3y agoAren’t there others in that list above the 3090 that are even more expensive?
- fbdab103 3y agoI would go even further - anytime I look at the hardware survey, I am surprised by the anemic and dated hardware people are running. Most people who game are not building a custom box anymore.
- contravariant 3y agoI mean I was, but turns out a well built box lasts a while.
- helloplanets 3y agoThen again, the Apple II cost around $6.5k in today's dollars. [0] My hunch is that people caring less for tricking out their computers for gaming is about people not being all that interested in being able to have the top of the line graphics settings enabled when playing AAA games. But I think the history of PCs and gaming very much proves that even normal consumers are willing to spend the big bucks on technology when it enables something truly new.

- __loam 3y agoTo be honest I didn't look that hard
