This is ridiculous. I recently bought a card at $100 more than launch price and I'm starting to feel like I got a good deal.
How can they justify the price raises?
Do their production costs also go up or is it just "fuck you, you'll buy it"?
GPUs use VRAM
They just don't care about this segment anymore. Th money is elsewhere.
Except the money elsewhere isn't even real.
fiat money isn't real
Just for anyone who sees your comment but doesn't get what you mean: AMD's revenue is 44% hardware related. They're an ai company. They own multitudes of small scale slop farms
Edit: gross exaggeration
I... I don't think they have to justify it
All they care about is money. They don't care about justifying prices at all.
