The comments are exactly what you&rsquo;d expect: one part genuine frustration, one part people flexing their hardware like medieval lords comparing landholdings, and one part the usual &ldquo;prices will come down eventually&rdquo; versus &ldquo;lol no they won&rsquo;t&rdquo; argument that has been running for about three years now.</p> <p>The feudalism jokes are funny, to be fair. Someone notes they have a 5060 Ti 16GB and accepts the title of lord among commoners. Someone else has two RTX Pro 6000s and looks down from an even higher castle. It&rsquo;s a bit. But underneath the bit is something that used to seem absurd and now just feels normal: a consumer graphics card costs more than a decent used car.</p>
