Did you at least front run the market and stocked up of 4090ies before this release? Also gamers are probably not too happy about these developments :D

- tinco 2y ago4090's have consistently been around 2000 dollars. I don't think there's many gamers who would be affected by price fluctuations of the 4090 or even the 4080.
- presides 2y agoThis is out of touch; they were mad before and they will be mad again. Lots of people spend a huge chunk of their modest disposable income on high end gaming gear, and the only upside of these issues for them is that eventually, YEARS down the line, capacity/supply issues MIGHT calm down in a way that yields some benefits. They're going to realize soon enough that they've basically just been told that the extremely shitty problem they thought they'd moved beyond is back with a vengeance and the next generation of gaming cards has the potential to make the past few rounds of scalping shit-shows look tame.
- swalsh 2y agoGamers have a TON of really good really affordable options. But you kind of need 24gb min unless you're using heavy quantization. So 3090 and 4090's are what local llm people are building with (mostly 3090's as you can get then for about $700, and they're dang good)
