$2,000 for a video card !!!

[Easto]

I just read about the latest Nvidia release, the RTX 5090, and they're saying it will cost $1999.00. At times I've considered getting back into a little gaming (FPS) and buying something out there on the leading edge, but not that "leading". Are there people out there that will actually pay $2k for a video card? I mean, there are only so many games in the genre' that you like and the per game title you're playing isn't that huge.

2k for a video card sounds crazy, you're right, heh. Some people have crazy gaming setups though, with multiple 4k-8k displays and want frame rate in the 100s on highest game settings...

Intel actually came up recently with good mid-range video cards that are beating Nvidia for the price, the "Arc Battlemage GPUs".
