The GPU price hike is here and you should avoid any Nvidia card with more than 8 GB VRAM, if you value your bank balance (www.pcgamer.com)

First crypto now AI, can the users just asking for a decent GPU catch a break here?

Crypto was limited bad since it only targeted GPU performance. AI targeting DRAM affects EVERYTHING. Phones, TVs, monitors, your router, smartwatches, ANYTHING that runs even a semblance of OS...

Microcontrollers are mostly safe as they use a different structure of RAM (500kB-8MB RAM doesn't need multi-thousand MT/s, so older tech is useful there).

But everything else is fucked.
