That being said, throughout the video, Crisler commended PC gamers as a whole for being resilient, having weathered several shortages and emerging victorious on the other end. He advises the community to: “Put your money away. Relax. Play some games. Enjoy the system you’ve got right now.” PC gaming is not going anywhere, and even this crisis will eventually sort itself out.
It feels like prices for components have been elevated for 5-7 years. First GPU crypto mining, then the COVID shortages and now the AI bubble. I am not sure what “emerging victorious” refers to. That being said, PC gaming is not going anywhere, there are so many good games that work fine on even older hardware.
So far, in my experience, patience has only helped me save, so he’s right about putting your money away.
The crypto rush transitioning into insane GPU prices allowed me to buy and sell my RX580 for the same price several years apart lol. And then the prices came down so naturally I upgraded. Used market + plenty of factory refurbished stuff = no need to ever buy a new gpu again (unless you’re like really into frame gen or something).
