Comment on 60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market

To be fair AMD hasn’t released a serious GPU in almost four years, Nvidia GPUs are just significantly overpriced in general, and Intel is just not competitive on the GPU market. Meanwhile CPU upgrades have been becoming less and less significant as gamers care more about GPU performance and AI bros care more about vram. Of course there’s always new gen 5 nvme ssds but few people care and ddr5 ram is just too expensive for what it offers. I think there needs to be a massive push for enthusiasts to build a new PC, like the adoption of LPCAMM2 on desktops, GPUs that offer significant improvements, or maybe some new hardware feature.
