Hilarious! I actually bought my RTX 4060 ti ghost for $500 dollars, brand new in 2023! I think both my gpus from 2007 and 2017 cost more. (My upgrade in 2023 cost less)

You can buy a 16gb 5060ti for $450

Just wait about 15 years and by then I’m sure 2025 GPUs will be 500 bucks

To be fair, a McDonald’s mcchicken was $1.49 back then and now it’s $4.

Even worse is
The GPU you could get for $500 in 2009 🙂

In 2009 he was happy because of the price to performance ratio 🙂
But now in 2025 he’s sad because of the price to performance ratio 🙁

I must be lucky buying my GPU for 500 bucks last year. 4070 (regular, not TI)

Let’s be real here, $500s GPU still exist and far more powerful than the ones in 2009, but they’re not high end anymore because Nvidia realized that they can just make the GPUs as beefy as they want it for the high price they want to sell it for, and not to mention inflation and supply and demand (and 90% of GPUs from Nvidia are made for AI making the stocks of gaming cards worse which explains the lack of supply that couldn’t meet the demand), if you want 5090 level of performance for $500, well then you’re out of touch

$4,799 is about the cost of a high end 9+ lbs laptop with a desktop CPU back in 2004.

Bought a 7900 XT last year for 700. I’m running Doom Dark ages at high settings, runs great. Every other game runs great. Why do you feel the need to buy an almost $5,000 card? What could you need that much power for? Are you going crazy into AI, are you working in some field like visual effects and need it for work?

Internet killed so many hobbies. I didn’t get into PC gaming until Warzone one came out and built my PC specifically for it. But from then on a lot of people started jumping into the hobby because it was the thing to do and here we are.
I know some people just get the high ends for photo ops more than gaming. It’s all about the likes.
