Guess I won’t be upgrading for a long time… (edit: not that I need to anytime soon, lol. This card is a beast)
minus-squareNovaVeleslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 day agoTo be fair to the 1980’s, a Hercules video card in 1982 adjusted for inflation would only be about $1700. We are way beyond that point. An original Macintosh 128K would set you back $8100 in today’s money, so I guess in that regard Apple hasn’t changed. ;)
