I'll just be happy when gamers are able to get used GPUs at prices similar to "crypto crash" era or maybe even cheaper. That's one of the reasons I'm rooting for this bubble to pop.
Sadly I think you may be disappointed. The GPUs used for AI are not typical graphics GPUs, they aren't on PCIe cards with video ports. They are set up in configurations designed to cram as many chips as possible into as small a space as possible while still providing power and cooling for 100% output on all of them.
they can be adapted, and will be in order to sell them.
Perhaps, but if that involves desoldering BGA chips and remounting them on new cards, do you really think someone's gonna bother to do that?
Especially if the chips are optimized for AI and don't perform well for games?
