You're right the miners unfortunately ruined the video card market, especially for those who are fans of AMD and buy their cards. You're also right if you can build a low-cost PC but not for any game, and the question would be how long would be your life, although the video game industry is advancing by leaps and bounds especially the video cards that are increasingly more powerful. A friend has an i7 7700k and 2 gtx Gygabyte 1080 sli which played Wildlands ran at about 100 fps on his 144 Hrz monitor and in many cases playing in very high details it would freeze for seconds, as the vegetation caused something in the video card and made it freeze a little, if you deactivated a video card the rate of fps stayed the same and the same thing happened. It is one thing that I have always criticized in the video card industry, in commercials they place 4 cards in sli or 2 in sli but in practice it is totally different since in many cases it is null, since videogames have not yet they are adapted for Sli and in many cases it is something that fools the novice gamers (which always prefer a console since you only place the game and play has been said.) In my case I am a PC gamer and it is the maximum.
I was reading the PUBG and this is shameful, as much as possible to fix it with an update that lowers visual quality to the game.
A pleasure to talk with you, my friend, write about the new technologies of VR in videogames I would like to read it. A hug
There was a time when SLI and Crossfire were doing pretty well, but with the new generation games support for those is often off the cards. With DX12 and Vulkan, the onus is on the game developer rather than GPU manufacturer (AMD/Nvidia) to build mGPU support. So far, few have bothered. So, currently, it makes no sense to get 2 GPUs, unless you play only a few games over and over again and sure they have support.
Very true, every year the GPU industry presents something much better, I would like that on the part of AMD improve your CPU and that the fight with Intel is better.
The more competition the better the variety and the better prices.
