  1. After this video, I am kinda put off building a gaming pc now lol. These prices are ridiculous, it’s looking more likely I will get an Xbox series x instead

  2. I bought my 6750 XT a few months ago and am very happy with it. Done with Nvidia after sticking with them for a decade and a half. I will run my system as-is until the fall of 2026 and we'll see where the market is at then. Rooting for Intel as well with their ARC cards.

  3. A major difference in this vs the last shortage ,crypto, was that their was a direct line from purchasing a GPU to profits. This one is being driven by investors craze. Yes we are seeing raw material going to companies via GPU that no one here would ever buy. That’s being followed by start ups buying the card we do want under the promise to investors that they will se return. But that’s the thing, the last shortage was a gold rush we’re their was an obvious and short path to money. With this shortage it’s the promise to”Investors” that AI will be the next infinite dollar industry with no clear path to reach it.

  4. To be honest AMD is doing a terrible job overall at being the 'good guy' on the market who cares about customers, even though the bar is quite low thanks to Intel and Nvidia.

  5. Please stop spreading FUD. You are only helping those awful companies who are in bed together (nvidia-amd), sell overpriced new gpus and 3 year old gpus at almost their original msrp. Please be smarter than that.

  6. Intel should not drop something even lower end, just drop the price of the A770 even further so they become the defacto gamer entry cards

  7. While I love the tech news (in general) I'm def here for Paul's witty word play while delivering the tech news (and his opinions of things)

    M.2 usb enclosures (even for 2230 which are up to 2tb now) have gotten pretty cheap. maybe making your own is more reliable than a pre-made external now?

  8. AMD and Nvidia are colluding. AMD has missed too many opportunities to drastically increase their market share in the pc gpu market. It really doesn’t make sense either way. I’m just out of ideas.

  9. I'm done with the industry anyway. I've got a 2080ti. I'll run that thing at 1440 until I can't, and then get a budget card. I'm done with high end PC hardware. The last 3 years have shown the absolute greed of these companies.

  10. Amd and nvidia are undoubtedly (in my opinion) in close communication with releases to make sure one another don’t surpass each other at certain points on tech. It’s 90% about money through cooperation with releases and 10% a performance fight.

  11. RDNA 4, 2 is already mind blowing to me! 🙂 amd not going head to head with nvidia is kinda the way I like it. sure the best cards from amd is a bit pricey, but not! like nvidia, or there crazy AI towers. I like apu, coz I honestly don't need that much power, so enough, and for this big cards… one day they will be as small as a nano chip. can't wait! but I promised myself to never use nvidia again

  12. It’s annoying that Nvidia who have been nothing but complete pieces of shit, are given a get out of jail free card. I was enjoying that they were suffering and loaded with stock that they can’t get rid of. Now that this has happened, it’s a real kick in the teeth to gamers
