Long and short of it, we might be looking at a 50% price increase for Nvidia chips if they start manufacturing them in the US. The good news is that the US factory isn't scheduled to be operational until 2026 at the earliest.
I'm still not sure if I should wait for the 50-series or buy a 40 now. Prices still dogshit here in the UK and with the amount of fucked PC ports/versions it also feels like a better choice to just get a PS5 Pro.
I used to love PC gaming but all of the above has me down on it.
So, instead of $100 for a chip, Nvidia should pay $150. Well not sure if they make a good cut if they still sell the chips for $800 ... Well maybe they should go for $2000 to still make a profit....

The whole "fucked up PC versions" thing is really not a big issue. The only game since december 2022 that i've had a issue with is Callisto Protocol, which had serious problems at launch. Since then, every game i've played has been great, and I play 90% of my ganes on PC.
I love my 4090, but I'd probably wait for the 50-series at this point if I was gonna get a new PC.
