    The question is whether anyone will be able to afford the hardware to run them on.

      Yes. Not sure if in a year or two but in a few years Chinese accelerators are gonna enter mass production and they’re probably arriving to our shores. At the very least, they’re gonna significantly dampen demand for AMD/NVIDIA’s chips so their prices are gonna fall.

      Idk, I guess I was lucky when I built a new computer right before this all got completely crazy. My 5090 is already selling for over 3X what I paid for it. It’s all very sad.

          Dont feel bad, i felt kind of stupid until recently. This card is arguably one of the worst value propositions nvidia has ever produced, just didnt realize how much worse it would get and how quickly.
