    It makes sense to me; AI needs GPUs, and there’s an AI boom.

    Probably won’t be as bad as the crypto situation, but I imagine it will have an effect on GPU availability at some point.

      The AI boom started last year, it’s the reason prices are already high. So I’m skeptical that they are going to get higher, seeing as this whole AI thing feels like a bubble.

      AI needs GPUs with a huge amount of vram. Nvidia moves to put criminally low amount of VRAM in their low and mid range gaming GPUs will ensure those GPUs won’t be hoarded by companies for AI stuff. Whether gamers actually want to buy those GPUs with such low amount of VRAM is a different matter though.
