Unfortunately I feel we’ll be forever prone to this now that GPUs are useful for far more than just gaming. The market is being shared with people who are willing to spend a lot more for the same silicon.
The vendors should stop calling it GPUs if its not used as a GPU. AI workloads are not GPU, cryptomining are not GPU. Nvidia and alike should create a different name for it. Nvidia H100 for example is still called GPU, but it has nothing to do with a normal GPU you and I use.
I’m aware of the current shortage.
