There still are a high amount of 4090s, modified 4080s, and 5090s in AI deployment (especially for their cost compared to the specialized stuff). It probably won’t be the vast majority of cards, but it’ll be nice to see in the used market.
I live in silicon valley, once that bubble bursts I’m going straight to craigslist and ebay lol
I am with you man… going to the fire sales, second hand all the way. Even now… all my holiday purchases are secondhand, ebay, thrift, flea market purchases. Fuck the corporations.
I’m kinda in the same boat. My main box was used, only a couple hundred bucks and it’s served me pretty well. Same thing with all my other personal PCs for the last 5-7 years.
If you’re not gaming, the benefit of going new is pretty limited. The hardware outpaced the software.
