Thats... Yeah.

>For the first time in three decades, Nvidia is reportedly taking a year off from the gaming GPU market. According to a new report from The Information, Team Green has scrapped its plans for any new graphics card releases in 2026. The reason? As you might have guessed, the ongoing global memory shortage, or what we at Tom’s Guide refer to as “RAMageddon,” has become so severe that Nvidia is being forced to choose between gamers and feeding the AI beast.

Figures when I'm actually thinking about replacing my 2080S this shit gets stupid expensive again.

I just pulled the trigger on a (AMD) RX 9070 XT to replace a old card. It should be good enough to last me at least 5+ years without another upgrade while allowing me to do some local-only AI workloads as well.

Not sure what kind of local ai workload you do or need, but fuck my ryzen 9 7840h (think thats right) is doing qwen fine, its almost conversational, the reply starts quick....the "typing" could be faster, but its very workable. And by that I have no GPU.

I do a lot of experimenting. Different models, agents, tools, etc. Having the power to do it quickly makes it more interesting and burns less of my time.

A good video card does usually last a long time.

Well, the nice thing is that even though it is replacing a old card, that old card can go into my homelab to be used for local-only AI workflows too so it still has a purpose. I try to reuse whatever I can until it falls apart or is so old/broken there is no point in using it anymore.

I'm sick of these contrived shortages. It all started with oil back in the early 70's. They've been fucking us with them ever since.
