Gpu market Memes

The eternal GPU upgrade cycle: a tragicomedy in four acts. First, you couldn't get an RTX 3080 because of COVID shortages. Then the 4080 was unobtainable thanks to crypto miners. Now the 5080 is being devoured by AI companies with bottomless pockets. Meanwhile, your ancient GTX 1080 is wheezing through another year while you progress through the five stages of GPU grief—from hopeful patience to the final acceptance that even if they made enough GPUs, your bank account would still say "insufficient funds." The wojak's increasingly haggard face is basically what happens when you check Newegg prices every day for half a decade.
