You write some completely incomprehensible OpenGL code with function names that look like keyboard smashing—glCreateShader, glCreateBuffer, glDraw(gdjshdbb)—sprinkle in some magic numbers like 69 and 420 because why not, and somehow a beautiful gradient triangle appears on screen. Graphics programming is basically alchemy where you sacrifice readability to the GPU gods and get rewarded with pretty colors. The best part? You have zero idea why it works, but you're not touching that code ever again.

We Had A Good Thing

PC Master Race and NVIDIA had a beautiful relationship. Everything worked perfectly - drivers were stable, performance was incredible, ray tracing was chef's kiss. But then NVIDIA decided to push their luck with increasingly aggressive pricing, proprietary lock-in, and forcing everyone to sign up for GeForce Experience accounts just to update drivers. Classic case of a company getting too comfortable and forgetting that goodwill doesn't grow on trees. The Breaking Bad template fits perfectly here because Mike's disappointment is exactly how PC gamers feel watching NVIDIA charge $1600 for a GPU that costs them $200 to manufacture. You could've just kept making good products at reasonable prices, but no - had to squeeze every last dollar out of your loyal customer base. Now AMD and Intel are looking increasingly attractive, and that's saying something.

So Optimized..

When someone brags about a game being "well optimized" because it ran on their ancient potato PC with a 4080 GPU. Yeah buddy, that's not optimization—that's just raw brute force overpowering terrible code. It's like saying your car is fuel-efficient because you installed a rocket engine. The 4080 could probably run Crysis on a toaster at this point.

Oh honey, the eternal GPU wars just got personal. While PC gamers are out here treating NVIDIA like it's the only graphics card manufacturer on planet Earth, AMD and Intel are literally lying on the floor begging for attention like forgotten stepchildren. The brand loyalty is UNREAL—people will drop $1,600 on an RTX 4090 without blinking, but suggest an AMD Radeon and suddenly everyone's a "compatibility expert." Meanwhile, Intel Arc is just happy to be mentioned at all. The market dominance is so brutal that even when AMD releases competitive cards at better prices, gamers still swipe right on team green. Competition? What competition? NVIDIA's out here living rent-free in everyone's minds AND wallets.

Just Tired

When the "AI girlfriend without makeup" meme has been reposted so many times that it's showing up in every programmer subreddit with the same GPU joke, and you're just sitting there watching the internet recycle the same content for the 47th time this week. The joke itself is solid: comparing an AI girlfriend to computer hardware (specifically a graphics card) because, you know, AI runs on GPUs. But seeing it flood your feed in multiple variations is like watching someone deploy the same bug fix across 15 different branches. We get it. The AI girlfriend IS the hardware. Very clever. Now can we move on? It's the digital equivalent of hearing your coworker explain the same algorithm at every standup meeting. Sure, it was interesting the first time, but by iteration 50, you're just... tired, boss.

Chrome Is Making Good Use Of My 5060

You dropped $1,200+ on an RTX 5060 (or maybe 4060, who's counting) for some glorious 4K gaming and AI rendering, but instead Chrome's sitting there hogging 17GB of your precious VRAM just to display three tabs: Gmail, Twitter, and that recipe you opened two weeks ago. Meanwhile, your CPU's at 6% like "I could help but nobody asked me." The real kicker? FPS shows "N/A" because you're not even gaming—you're just browsing. But Chrome doesn't care. It sees your expensive GPU and thinks "finally, a worthy opponent for my 47 background processes." Your gaming rig has become a very expensive typewriter with RGB. Fun fact: Chrome uses GPU acceleration for rendering web pages, which is great for smooth scrolling and animations, but it treats your VRAM like an all-you-can-eat buffet. No restraint, no shame, just pure resource gluttony.

A Loading Screen From My Competitive Pc Building Game

Oh honey, nothing says "quality gaming experience" quite like a v0.0.0 patch that literally adds a feature where Amazon might just ship you a LITERAL BRICK instead of that $1,500 RTX 4090 you've been saving up for! Because why would you want actual graphics processing power when you could have... construction materials? The absolute AUDACITY of calling this version 0.0.0 is chef's kiss—like, they're not even pretending this game is remotely stable. And the casual "Thanks, Amazon" is the perfect touch of passive-aggressive genius, referencing the very real horror stories of people ordering expensive GPUs and receiving everything from bricks to bags of sand. Talk about adding realism to your PC building simulator! The GPU graphic in the corner is just sitting there, mocking you with its three beautiful fans that you'll never get to spin because Amazon's warehouse workers are playing roulette with your order. Truly immersive gameplay! 10/10 would get scammed again.

This Is Exactly How Machine Learning Works Btw

So yeah, turns out "Artificial General Intelligence" is just some LLMs standing on a comically large pile of graphics cards. And honestly? That's not even an exaggeration anymore. We went from "let's build intelligent systems" to "let's throw 10,000 GPUs at the problem and see what happens." The entire AI revolution is basically just a very expensive game of Jenga where NVIDIA is the only winner. Your fancy chatbot that can write poetry? That's $500k worth of H100s sweating in a datacenter somewhere. The secret to intelligence isn't elegant algorithms—it's just brute forcing matrix multiplication until something coherent emerges. Fun fact: Training GPT-3 consumed enough electricity to power an average American home for 120 years. But hey, at least it can now explain why your code doesn't work in the style of a pirate.

When someone lists their RTX 3060 for $150 with "slightly overheating issues" and the GPU looks like it survived the Chernobyl disaster. The board is literally charred beyond recognition, components are melted into oblivion, and the seller's like "yeah it gets a bit warm sometimes, nothing major." The understatement is truly chef's kiss. That thing didn't overheat—it achieved thermonuclear fusion. Pretty sure if you plugged it in, it would violate several international treaties. But hey, $150 is $150, right? Someone out there is definitely typing "Hi, is this available?" unironically.

I Knew I've Seen This Tech Before Modern GPUs

So modern GPUs need a 12-pin power connector that looks suspiciously like... a car cigarette lighter? The resemblance is uncanny and honestly concerning. We've gone from "can it run Crysis?" to "can your power supply literally light cigarettes?" The fact that your graphics card now requires the same form factor as a device designed to heat metal coils is probably a sign we've taken the power consumption arms race a bit too far. Next gen GPUs will just come with a dedicated nuclear reactor and we'll all pretend it's normal. "Yeah bro, my RTX 6090 only needs 2000 watts, pretty efficient actually."

NVIDIA walks into the RAM factory like they own the place, demanding every stick of DDR5 DRAM until 2028. The RAM producers quote them $9.5 billion. NVIDIA casually pulls out a $10 bill and asks if they can pay the rest later. The RAM producers, apparently suffering from acute business sense deficiency, agree. Meanwhile, consumers are thrown out the door faster than you can say "supply chain shortage." Because why sell to millions of gamers and PC builders when you can sell your entire production capacity to one customer who's basically paying in IOUs? The GPU shortage wasn't enough—now they're coming for your RAM too. Fun fact: NVIDIA's AI data centers are so RAM-hungry that they're literally buying up future production years in advance. Your gaming rig upgrade can wait. Jensen's got neural networks to feed.

Ram Shortage...

The great PC gaming love triangle has shifted, and honestly? It's giving character development. Back in 2020, PC gamers were out here side-eyeing their RAM while GPU manufacturers were living their best life, charging kidney prices for graphics cards during the crypto mining apocalypse. Fast forward to 2026, and suddenly RAM is the hot new thing everyone's fighting over while GPUs are collecting dust on shelves. Plot twist nobody saw coming: AI workloads are absolutely DEVOURING RAM like it's an all-you-can-eat buffet. Those fancy LLMs need 192GB just to load their morning coffee preferences. Meanwhile, GPU prices finally chilled out, so now we're all broke from buying RAM sticks instead. The hardware industry really said "you thought you were done spending money?" and switched the bottleneck on us. Truly diabolical.
