I just hope I can buy a graphics card without having to sell organs some time in the next two years.

    Don't count on it. It turns out that the sort of stuff that graphics cards do is good for lots of things, it was crypto, then AI and I'm sure whatever the next fad is will require a GPU to run huge calculations.

    I also bet it will, cf my earlier comment on rendering farm and looking for what "recycles" old GPUs https://lemmy.world/comment/12221218 namely that it makes sense to prepare for it now and look for what comes next BASED on the current most popular architecture. It might not be the most efficient but probably will be the most economical.

    My RX 580 has been working just fine since I bought it used. I've not been able to justify buying a new (used) one. If you have one that works, why not just stick with it until the market gets flooded with used ones?

    If there is even a GPU being sold. It’s much more profitable for Nvidia to just make compute focused chips than upgrading their gaming lineup. GeForce will just get the compute chips rejects and laptop GPU for the lower end parts. After the AI bubble burst, maybe they’ll get back to their gaming roots.
