minus-squareSCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-219 hours agoCan we please standardize a pc parts price point? (Not sure I’m saying this right) Like, “it doesn’t matter where technology is, $600 gets you ‘low’, &1000 gets you ‘high’, and $2000 gets you ‘ultra’.”

minus-squareSCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·18 hours agoYeah so, either the prices need to come down, or devs optimize for those price points. Or both. Because two thousand dollars for a gpu is ridiculous.
minus-squarerumba@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·17 hours agoWhen everyone stops chasing cryptocoin and AI the prices will come down. As long as people will pay 2k for a video card, they’ll charge 2k for a video card :( The market doesn’t discern between gamers, cryptobros, and corporations. I thought we were about to have a break when everything went ASIC, but that just didn’t last.

minus-squarerumba@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·15 hours agoEventually, the bubble will burst. Venture Cap paid for the first round of hardware; it has to make real money for the second round. Once the token price rises to the actual cost of buying the ephemeral hardware it’s running on, no one will want to use it for the hard stuff.

The ultimate product can turn to slop if you’re the only game in town.
