It might be better to just get a PS5 Pro in my case.
I am not even joking, that’s where I am right now with gaming in 2026.
Your thoughts?
China will catch up to nvidia and AMD in the not too distant future and the cost of gpus and ram will plummet. Its just a matter of holding out for a few years.
That’s if those products aren’t slapped with insane import costs or bans like BYD cars or Hawei phones.
Even then the international market will be saturated with Chinese products. The price for amd/nvidia will have to come down to compete.
Again, why would the price have to come down in the US, Europe, and Western aligned nations if AMD and NVidia have government enforced monopolies? Other nations aren’t importing computer parts to that insane of a degree either so the market would hardly be saturated in the nations where Chinese products aren’t banned.
Are you aware of what happened with BYD cars? Why wouldn’t the same thing just happen? The global price for electric cars hasn’t fallen substantially at all.
