Budget build Memes

The funeral for a graphics card is upon us. This meme captures that gut-wrenching moment when your trusty GPU—that beautiful NVIDIA GT 610 with its measly 2GB of VRAM—finally gives up the ghost after 5 years of loyal service. Now you're stuck with integrated Intel HD Graphics, the equivalent of downgrading from a sports car to a shopping cart with a wobbly wheel. The formal announcement by Sir Toad in his distinguished attire only makes the tragedy more dignified. Pour one out for the GT 610—it wasn't much, but it was honest work.

The eternal struggle of every developer who's also a PC enthusiast. There you are, whiteboard marker in hand, desperately explaining frame rates, upgrade paths, Steam sales, and how "but can it run Crysis?" is still somehow relevant in 2023. Meanwhile, your friends stare blankly, wondering why you're having a religious experience over hardware specs when they just want to play FIFA. Two hours later, you're drawing memory architecture diagrams while they've mentally checked out to plan their PS5 purchase. The kicker? They'll text you next week asking for PC build advice anyway.

Top panel: Guy literally crying over his RTX 4090 because it can't push enough frames on his ultra-expensive monitor. Meanwhile, bottom panel: Chad with a 3060 Ti just vibing with his 1080p setup that'll run Doom Eternal at max settings until the heat death of the universe. The real irony? Top guy probably only plays Valorant and checks email. Bottom guy is just happy his PC boots without catching fire.
