I’ll just be happy when gamers are able to get used GPUs at prices similar to “crypto crash” era or maybe even cheaper. That’s one of the reasons I’m rooting for this bubble to pop.
woo hoo! I am thinking about the tower of my son’s gaming computer who’s nvidia card died… and they were total dicks about replacing it. I can’t wait to buy a better one at a major loss to them off ebay.
Sadly I think you may be disappointed. The GPUs used for AI are not typical graphics GPUs, they aren’t on PCIe cards with video ports. They are set up in configurations designed to cram as many chips as possible into as small a space as possible while still providing power and cooling for 100% output on all of them.
There still are a high amount of 4090s, modified 4080s, and 5090s in AI deployment (especially for their cost compared to the specialized stuff). It probably won’t be the vast majority of cards, but it’ll be nice to see in the used market.
I live in silicon valley, once that bubble bursts I’m going straight to craigslist and ebay lol
I am with you man… going to the fire sales, second hand all the way. Even now… all my holiday purchases are secondhand, ebay, thrift, flea market purchases. Fuck the corporations.

they can be adapted, and will be in order to sell them.

Yeah, our memory prices have been affected too by the stupid AI shit.
