1. (According to my short research) 300$ in 2013 are a bit below 400$ nowadays, so you also kinda gotta take that into account.

2. Low-end GPUs have been/are being attempted to be mostly replaced by APUs (at least on the AMD side) which kinda makes sense.

3. Normal pricing has gone outta the window ever since the NFT craze (or demand if you wanna put it that way) and now the AI craze.

Sorry for off topic.

Wolframalpha makes it easy to compare USD accross years and uses official inflation numbers. "2013 $300" [0] would be worth $386 now (2024).

If you use ddg, that's "!wa 2013 $300" or if you want it in reverse "!wa $300 in 2023"

Didn't know WA actually did that, but not too surprised.

(Also, you writing it out again I kinda forgot that it's 2024, not 2023)

Interestingly, it only seems to work if you force US dollars. When it defaults to Canadian dollars for me it tries to multiply $300 by 2013 inches.
