Found 2080 For Less Than 10 Bucks! Still Intact!
The GPU shortage has driven us to new lows. Someone thought they scored an RTX 2080 graphics card for under $10, but ended up with... toothpaste. The "Power Shield" is protecting your teeth, not your frame rates. At least your breath will render in 4K while you're sobbing over crypto miners buying actual GPUs at 300% markup. The only ray tracing this provides is the trail of mint as you spit it into the sink.

Expectation Vs. Reality: The GPU Evolution
Remember when you could buy a graphics card without taking out a second mortgage? The "expectation" shows a humble GT440 from 9 years ago - probably cost you a reasonable $100 and could run Minecraft without setting your desk on fire. Fast forward to "reality" and we've got a monstrous GTX 1080Ti that costs more than some used cars and requires its own nuclear power plant. The best part? Both cards are equally impossible to find in stock. The crypto miners got the new ones, and your weird cousin who "builds gaming PCs" hoarded all the old ones.

Looking For A GPU Be Like
That special moment when you find the perfect GPU for your build, only to discover it costs more than your car payment, rent, and firstborn child combined. The crypto miners and scalpers have turned hardware shopping into a financial horror movie. Just smile through the pain as you contemplate selling a kidney on the black market for that sweet, sweet RTX performance.

GPUs At MSRP: The Ultimate IT Horror Story
Ah, the GPU market's nightmare fuel. A creepy clown lurking in a sewer drain promising GPUs at MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) is the perfect metaphor for the current state of graphics card shopping. In the years since crypto mining and chip shortages, finding a GPU at its intended price has been so rare that it might as well be a murderous entity luring desperate gamers into the sewers. Most developers would indeed crawl through drainage systems for a reasonably priced RTX card at this point.

GPUs Are For Gaming, Not For Speculation
Nvidia stock plummeting 17.44% after someone supposedly declared "GPUs are for gaming, not for speculation" is the financial equivalent of yanking the power cord during a CUDA training session. Crypto miners and AI researchers frantically watching their RTX investments nosedive faster than a poorly optimized neural network. Meanwhile, gamers who just wanted reasonable prices are sitting in the corner with popcorn watching the chaos unfold. The irony of hardware designed for parallel processing causing such sequential market destruction is *chef's kiss*.
