Unfortunately I feel we’ll be forever prone to this now that GPUs are useful for far more than just gaming. The market is being shared with people who are willing to spend a lot more for the same silicon.
The vendors should stop calling it GPUs if its not used as a GPU. AI workloads are not GPU, cryptomining are not GPU. Nvidia and alike should create a different name for it. Nvidia H100 for example is still called GPU, but it has nothing to do with a normal GPU you and I use.
I’m aware of the current shortage.

PCIE Card
that is also fine. Or just call it “AI cards” when these chips are obviously meant from AI interference workloads.
It’s about the type of computation it does, not their fault it fits better for those use cases lol
