It has been impossible to build a decent gaming pc due to buttcoin miners ramping up gpu prices for months now

>it has been impossible to build a decent gaming pc due to buttcoin miners ramping up gpu prices for months now

Seriously, not only there are no exclusives, no physical games, no second hand market, games are buggy as fuck console ports unplayable at launch, denuvo, rampant piracy and hackers online, exploits up the ass for overall pc security, fucking windows 10,and now even if you wanted to endure all of this bullshit you need to pay like 2x the price of a ps4 for a mid tier gpu.

Is this the final nail in the coffin for pc gaming?

>Is this the final nail in the coffin for pc gaming?

Nope.

pc gaming has been a meme ever since valve stopped making games.

>Is this the final nail in the coffin for pc gaming?

unfortunately not, mustards will continue to shovel shit down their gullets to justify their $8000 shitposting machine

It's been a year since i told Cred Forums about it, making threads, etc : PC GAMING IS DEAD.

Pc gaming is fine, console peasant.

and ETH is back at $900 ahahah. No one will be able to get a GPU

This thread again

it's really not

You stick to PC gaming out of principles and hope for the golden age to come back.

Why are PCs called "Mustards"?

Its basically going to take either AMD or Nvidia making a gaming only card crippled for bitcoin farming and a bitcoin focused non gaming card.

It'd kill resale for burnt out gaming cards and get a shitload of goodwill with gamers.

It means I won't upgrade for a while. I hope this shit dies off soon because this is obnoxious. Its my bday next week and I had a desire to get a nice GPU, like a 1080 ti or something and a good 1440 monitor. Now its fucking pointless. Could have gotten that combo for under a grand 6 months ago. Now its a grand for the GPU alone.

Because consoles need to ketchup.

>It'd kill resale for burnt out gaming cards
And that's exactly why they don't make them. Miners wouldn't buy them.

Miners are shortsighted retards, if it offered 10% increased performance for the same price as a last gen gaming card they'd buy it up like crazy.

>no exclusives
???
>no physical games, no second hand market
Even on consoles, games are no longer games but "services" that wont work unless the console has an account. The plug and play era is pretty much gone
>games are buggy as fuck console ports unplayable at launch
This depends on how skilled is the developer to deliver a fixage or the community: ie. Dsfix
>Denuvo
Only on AAA shit, and hackers race to see which group breaks it faster
>Rampant piracy
No problem desu, only bad games suffer this one
>hackers online, exploits up the ass for overall pc security
This is not a PC problem only, consoles have homebrew and custom firmware
>fucking windows 10
Win 10 vanilla isn't that bad, their patches are shit.
>and now even if you wanted to endure all of this bullshit you need to pay like 2x the price of a ps4 for a mid tier gpu.
I hope that with crypto regulation this meme finally goes down, but probably during this year and the following it will be almost impossible to build a gaming ppc
>Is this the final nail in the coffin for pc gaming?
Probably there will be less PC versions of AAA games during the next year or next two years

>Tfw got a 1070 before all this bother for 250 quid

They could very easily force retailers to set up a limit of 2 per customer, they just don't want to.

>This is not a PC problem only, consoles have homebrew and custom firmware

And it's way easier to get banned, console banned, and you have to pay to play online. I've never seen a hacker online in a console game sans handhelds or the Wii U.

Wouldn't change shit. God you can't even comprehend the basic of economy? Supply and demand?

So i'm still on a GTX 770 4gb I built in like 2013/14 and its starting to show its age bad. I need an upgrade within the next few months, so basically what should I get/pay for a GPU in the current price climate?

This will be the decade of the prebuilt PC.

>miner in full defense mode trying to hype his scam again because it crashed and nobody want to buy his coins anymore.

pyramid scheme.

There is literally nothing worth your money in the market right now. It's best to keep using old hardware for at least 1 to 2 years and see what the future holds. Buying right now would be suicide.

Must suck for you Americans, GPU prices have not changed at all over here.

MEANWHILE AT user'S BITCOIN FARM

Upgrading is suicide because you're forced to use Win10 now.

You don't need 1080ti to play video games.

CONTINUED FROM user'S BITCOIN FARM

Its been 10 years since some other idiot told everyone about it, and here we are.

If you already have the 4k or 144hz its probably the wisest choice, but other than that you're fine with a 1060 or 1050ti

Don't buy anything. Play less demanding games in your backlog while you save money for a good upgrade when the prices normalize -if they do. If they don't, just quit pc gaming; that's what I'll do if the prices are not reasonable when my gpu shits itself.

Not true, they have not soared idiotically, but they have increased to 1.3 or 1.5 times their price from last year.

...

Kingdom Come Deliverance blew your hypothesis the fuck away

That was the point, but it's not only that. Overall 2018 is a terrible year to spend money on PC upgrades. Might even be for the next 2 years.

This damage is going to last.

>Been wanting to get a new video card
>Notice the whole shitcoin mess
>Remember I mostly play old games and most of my games in my backlog can be run on a toaster
>This isn't even counting mods

I can wait as long as it needs for this retarded market to inevitably crash. The advantage of enjoying old games has paid off.

My making money is more important than your childish enjoyment of games you loser

>inevitably crash
It's only going to get more popular. The only people getting stung are those who bought in at the peaks

Buttcoin miners are fucking retarded. The chances of the actually earning a Bittcoin now are so minuscule that you will never see a payoff from all the power and GPUs you had to buy.

can someone explain to me what bitcoin mining even is and why you need CPUs for that?
/biz/ just keeps memeing it up instead of giving me a proper answer

the cryptomeme fad already wore off
Shitcoin only went up in price because normies were told they could buy PC graphic cards for free money and went in hordes like the retards they are like OP's pic
Shitcoin spiked in price because of all the influx of retards, and now that they realized they're not actually earning the free money like they thought, they've pulled out and shitcoin has dropped in price already

If you have 4k and 144hz, then you probably have 1080 already, otherwise what the fuck are you doing nigga.

And my 1060ti can handle everything I throw at it in 1080p.

>still can't afford to replace my 770
FUCK

>paying for an overpriced, pile of shit video card in the first place
What's killing GAMING IN GENERAL are fucking graphicsfags. If your fucking game can't run on a goddamn $300 budget, low-power, mini-PC, your game is stupid.

Fuck the idiots who think you have to build some supercomputer bullshit just because LOLGRAFIX that don't mean shit in gaming. Enjoy your gaming crash because of this brain-dead mentality.

Mining bitcoin is essentially just verifying bitcoin transactions. Each transaction you verify has a chance of rewarding you a bitcoin, but since bitcoin are finite the chances of gaining a bitcoin from verifying transactions decreases as more are issued. The software for verifying transactions was designed so people with enthusiast level PCs could use their under utilized GPU power to mine bitcoin.

Nope. Crypto crashes, cheap used GPUs flood the market

bitcoin mining is racist because us kangz don't know how to do it.

i want to punch this fucker in the face

>Is this the final nail in the coffin for pc gaming?
No but keep telling yourself that if it helps.

There are more off the shelve engines and easy of development that ever before. Modern consoles are a minor step removed from being normal x86 computers, making porting costs the lowest they've ever been. Console makers have to put up even bigger cash if they want to keep devs exclusive.

Console makes missed the biggest opportunity to attract PC users if they simply offered 1080p 60fps, but they chased 4k and stayed on peasant level 30fps. And they still have to rely on upscaling for most titles.

We also have two fairly new emulators, one for the wiiU and ps3, with a switch in the works.
Microsofts store DRM also recently got cracked, so their scant exclusives are next.

Hopefully. Gaming should be owned by just one and only giant corporation, i'm pretty sure that would be wonderful for everyone.

my pc still plays all games i want to play

This. I have a huge backlog and almost none of it is especially demanding. Gonna upgrade cpu, ram and mobo next month and that'll be it for a while. My meme 970 will have to do until it either dies or gpu prices recover. I am fine with 1080p gaming for the time being. Will switch to consoles only if all fails in the end

>when bitcoin crashed I was able to get a gtx1070ti for $300 because of a miner doing a fire sale

>Pc gaming is dead
I've been seeing these threads for 8 years now.

I needed a new computer so I just bought prebuilt for £1600. Does the job.

>buying a GPU that has been throttled for months for $300

Never follow any make-yourself-rich fads let alone any popular investments. When an investment option becomes popular it sails off to raise and crash spectacularly. It'll be even harsher on Bitcoin because unless you exchange your funnymoney with actual money it is worthless.

GTFO commie

>yfw buttcoin wrecks humanity because lazy cunts would rather mine it than contribute something actually worthwile to society

whats a hotbed

>implying you aren't throttling your gpu right now by shit posting on Cred Forums instead of playing games
It's no worse than putting it on idle heat and electricity wise

money down the drain, bitcoins value has halved and looks like it will continue to halve for the rest of the year as the stock market also takes a downturn and the world goes back to the 2008 recession.

Oh no, not a correction! That never happens in stock markets! Nocoiner

Doesn't help that optimization for a lot of AAA has been complete garbage as well. Shit like FFXV "supports" 8k res, but doesn't support sli/CF.

It's just not worth it to deal with pc gaming's bullshit anymore. Even the increase in grafix isn't worth having to deal with all of this shit. You can get a ps4 for 200 bucks nowadays and that will give you access to 99% of AAA shit, the rest you can pay on any toaster from the last 7 years.

This is true. Playing videogames on and off damages the GPU more than it working at a constant rate and heat.

Just like how a HDD's lifespan is increased the less you reboot you computer.

amen brother

>Just like how a HDD's lifespan is increased the less you reboot you computer.

thank god, i havent turned off my PC in like 2 years

socializing and having sex is more fun anyway

Considering I've never before owned a console in my life and I just got a ps4 pro I'd say yes.

do american retailers not limit cards per customer? Australian places have limited to 2 cards per customer and prices are the exact same and there is no "shortage"

There's really no reason to be PC-exclusive anymore

Ever since Valve stopped making games, Blizzards pretty much dominated and all of their games suck fucking ass

Kingdom Comes the first decent eurojank in a while but it's not enough to justify building a high end PC.

Bannerlord is the only thing that can save the platform

JESUS SHIT "GAMERS", THE SOLUTION IS FUCKING SIMPLE.

>Is this the final nail in the coffin for pc gaming?
Nope. PC gaming is too strong.

Why would they?

>STOP PLAYING SHITTY OVERBLOWN GRAFIXFUX GAMES

So what's the point of a gaming pc if you're only going to play 2d indieshit? You're literally saying pc gaming is dead and reduced to 2d nineties shit that runs on office laptops.

>cheapest 1080 GTX is 620 euros
that's 770 dollars. is this a normal price?

Fuck I feel you, got a 760 right now and an i7, bought KCD and i'm getting 20-30 FPS on medium, thought it time to upgrade (I've been ignoring the whole crypto boom) and was taken aback when i saw how much GPU prices have gone up. Fucking cryptoshits.

>pc gaming is too strong

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

kingdom come deliverance didnt even peak at 100k, fucking strong ass master race...never seen this much delusion

Gaming IS dead. Gaming was only good in the 80s and early 90s because it wasn't style over substance trash like the late 90s started to spew out to a new generation of "gamers" who were brainwashed to like garbage.

That's a high price but it's not as bad as here.

I'm too dumb to tell if you are being rhetorical or not, so I'll answer straight. No, that's not a normal price. My friend payed less than that nearly two years ago.

bro I had 60 bitcoins I bought for a dollar in 2009 when Cred Forums said to go heavily into it and sold them at $18K I don't give a shit about the current mining BS

lolol
it's a smear of "pc master race" turning into "pc mustard race"

Nigger, gaming is not dead, ps4 and switch are stronger than ever with a shitload of amazing games. Only pc gaming is fucking dead.

Is it still possible to get a video card at a reasonable price for decent graphics if I'm not that interested in ultra high-end graphics?

yeah nothing to worry about, just that chinese hoax ;)

high popularity/opportunity for making money. like silicon valley is a tech hotbed.

>shitload of amazing games
Name fucking one.

One goddamn game that isn't a fucking story-heavy pile of goddamn shit or some shiny pseudo-game with shit controls. Or both.

You can't do it. You fucking can't.

Yes, PC gaming is dead, too. It suffers from the same fucking problem.

The only good games left are ones before 99% of you were fucking born.

I feel u was gonna get a 1060 when they were like $100 some at this store near me but the next time i got paid i went back and then entire section was cleared out.
>gt 730 right now

no

i paid 700 for it in june 2016.

Man, those threads usually threads usually attract console kids with a crazy inferiority complex and people that don't play games like who should just leave or get banned, but this time it's even worse than usual.
Congratulations OP, I guess.

>waah pc gaming is DEAD
I never moved past 1080p 60 and I'm still doing just fine with my 750ti, high end PC gaming is struggling, but I'm having a grand time

It doesn't matter which games I will list since you're obviously completely jaded and burned out with vidya.

You aren't better than him though, what you said about PC gaming is as nonsensical and biased as his raving.

That feel when there's a wallet out there somewhere that I had 100 btc in from like 8 years ago that i only used once for some weed on silk road.
FUCk mE. I would have instantly sold once that big spike happened and said fuck off to btc for the rest of my life. I never took it seriously because unless something like this sudden popularity bullshit happened it was never gonna be worth shit.

>implying i play or have played valve games.

Well u see america isnt surrounded by water

>>it has been impossible to build a decent gaming pc due to buttcoin miners ramping up gpu prices for months now
Only applies to waitfags.

like everyone else, a 1060 8GB version should do. seeing as its a specia lversion with more ram the miners dont like it so if you can still find it it usually still has a semi-normal price. for eurofags anyway.

Prices are always high here in Finland. I wasn't being rhetorical. I just genuinely wanted to know. I think I'll wait a year for prices to go down. If ever.

Yes and mobile games have KILLED consoles

not that guy but
>one random ass game didnt do good
u realize that ppl who dont give a shit about knights and horses have probably never even heard of this game right

Didn't NVIDIA announce they made a new graphics card designed for mining? Could have sworn I read some news about it somewhere.

Here in Europe prices are also higher than they should be but not that higher. Obviously the american idiots are the one who stupidly jumped on the scumcoin fad the most.

PC gaming has dips and peaks. 2015-2016 was a peak, if you nabbed a Skylake CPU and a Pascal GPU you were pretty much golden.
Now those CPU's suffer from vulnerabilities, GPU's are all unavailable and RAM prices keep rising because of artificial shortages by the chinks who produce them. This is a dip we are in right now.

I suspect next year will be a good year for PC building though.
New CPU's (Ryzen 2 @ 7nm is planned), DDR5 will be available by then, hopefully the mining craze will have died down.
Also HDMI 2.1 will be the standard, so we could see TV's supporting 4K 120hz with adaptive sync.

>waitfagging.
>waitfagging after what happened.

Unless they mine way better than regular GPUs the miners will not buy them since they have much less resale value.

I've have no seen a hacker on PC since the last time I played GTA V online, which was around 2 years ago. I even play hacker prone games like csgo

its almost like the earth heats and cools based on where it is in the solar system :o

>bought a 1060 6gb for 400$ 4 months ago
The catch is that I would have paid the same with our without this mining shit in my tax hell country

endless space 2

I'd love to see what their utility bill is.

How about name one exclusive that needs a fucking 1080ti.

Is 16GB RAM the norm for newer computers nowadays or can I still get by fine with 8GB?

I have to overhaul my computer since my CPU is dying and newer motherboards only take DDR4 RAM. Looking at 16GB RAM prices is scaring me right now.

Divinity OS 2. You don't buy PC for esclusives, but you already know that.

damm

Don't deflect the question

What about the fact that PC is the system with most games from the "Cred Forums best game of 2017" list? What about the fact that PS4 has only 3 noteworthy esclusives and Switch only 1 since even toasters have been able to emulate the so called BEST GAME EVER EVER for a while?
What about the fact that your crappy consoles are have worse performance than playing with a 1050i?
All irrelevant facts because you can play Gravity Rush, I guess.

I can't wait for the bitcoin bubble to finally fucking burst and all these retard miners and people that speculated on crypocurrencies to go broke and end up hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.

Oh, user, i have some news for you.

What are you talking about? I bought a new GTX 1080 back in november for 500 eurobux

? So, what is it?

People also believed smoking was good for you and cured lungproblemds back then. Whats your point?

Source, please.

>Is this the final nail in the coffin for pc gaming?

I know it's bait, but not even close. This is a simple bump in the road for PC gaming. In reality, PC hasn't been this far ahead of the rest of the gaming market since the original Crysis dropped.

Think of it as a blessing and an opportunity for the peasants to catch up in the meantime.

>People also believed smoking was good for you and cured lungproblemds
OH FUCK IT DOESN'T?!

This is the thing with cryptomining.

The diminishing returns caused by increasing compexity etc need to be met with like $1,000 a piece graphics cards and increased power usage and given that it's not even an acceptect currency yet, it seems dumb as fuck to get longterm invested.

Once I've been in the exact same situation for several months and I still have nightmares about it. Stay strong user.

You know there's another option, right?

Wait until you see someone buying a stack of 1080s, follow him home, and take everything. Sell to Cred Forums for $400 a GPU no questions asked.

It's the only way to keep vidya alive.

>actually startled me
why did I laugh so hard when I imagined this

Name is Luvian Ben Neng

I managed to get a 1070 Ti before the prices went up again but I still need to replace my i5 3570k and DDR3. Hopefully the prices stabilize again once the newer Intel CPUs release next.

Boy, the yellow fever from white guys doesn't compare to how snowblind some asian girls are. For some reason, they seem more interested in just having a handsome kid over the actual sex though.

You can't cripple bitcoin farming on a card practically. You could distribute them with some modified BIOS that tries to hamper hash calculation performance, but it would be a matter of weeks until the miners figure out how to flash a custom BIOS onto it and buy them all out because they're cheaper than the mining cards.

PC gaming is not dead.

PC building is.

You can probably make CUDA 50% less efficient by fucking around with the architecture of the card, then release a GPGPU card at 25% greater cost that doesn't have those restrictions.

It sucks that Dell and the other big builders can get prices so low. How do they do it?

>You can probably make CUDA 50% less efficient by fucking around with the architecture of the card, then release a GPGPU card at 25% greater cost that doesn't have those restrictions.
That would inherently damage the gaming performance as well, though. Maybe not by the full 50%, but it would have an effect.

Not too bad

Realistically, is crypto ever going to fail and GPU prices go back to normal?

Crypto won't fail, but GPU prices will eventually go back to normal regardless.

>That would inherently damage the gaming performance as well, though.
Would it? The 1080 had basically the same hashrate as the 1070 despite having much better gaming performance because it used GDDR5X.

Consoles win again

>angry console peasant

That's disgusting user.

*BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK*

It's up again, faglord. I accidentally made $50 trying to buy shit on the internet.

>no exclusives
More exclusives than all other platforms combined, all RTS are exlusives, all FPS play so shitty on consoles they might aswell be exclusives
>no physical games, no second hand market
There are barely any physical games on the consoles either, also physical games suck and take up space. A 5TB hard drive costs what, 150 bucks?
>games are buggy as fuck console ports Games are also buggy as fuck on consoles also we can at least fix it with mods :^)
>Denuvo
Cracked before release lul
>Rampant piracy
Consolepeasants cant even pirate the games from shitty publishers like Bioware for free :^)
>hackers online, exploits up the ass for overall
Console has more hackers than PC, look at fucking GTA or Dark Souls lel
>fucking windows 10
Win 10 is still less cucked than any console OS. Consolecucks literally cannot mod their shit or play any games their overlords don't approve of.
>and now even if you wanted to endure all of this bullshit you need to pay like 2x the price of a ps4 for a mid tier gpu.
I already have my 1070 though, I dont need another one. Stay mad for being late, consolecuck
>Is this the final nail in the coffin for pc gaming?
Actually we have been growing for the last 8 years or so while consoles are declining :^)

Also consoles cannot resell parts
Also consoles canot pirate games for free
Also consoles have no steam sales
Also consoles are cucked by the owners of their platforms, meanwhile Microsoft cannot dictate you to not play games they don't approve of on their OS
Also consoles have no m+kb
Also consoles run like shit, enjoy your silky smooth 30 fps

What's wrong with pirated Win10 enterprise on a LTSB?
