Not practical for average gamers or normal average people to own such cards.

It's not just expensive. Those cards are incredibly power hungry. I don't need a BBQ oven in my room just to surf /k and play games occasionally.

Buy a game console or just emulators will do just fine for me. That is if I've enough free time to waste.

thats the thing eh? whats "average" tier to class these GPUs owners. for me i consider those XX60 cards almost as enthusiast level ed. cause casual average joe wouldnt drop RM2k on just a graphics card unless theyre into gaming alot

most normies wouldnt care abt graphics card at all and just play on consoles

Average tier users would just want a most recent integrated APU that supports the latest games with decent framerates and lighting/ray tracing effects.
Low power consumption and highly efficient.

Like the one found in STEAM Deck or Asus ROG Ally. Mobile CPUs/APUs such as the AMD Ryzen Z1.

You don't want a hot grill or oversized box turned on the entire day that incurs high electricity bills.

Trend now is mini PC boxes size of your palm, passive cooling, console like graphics quality around that of a PS4/5. Ultra low power consumption like <30W TDP??

Affordably priced too.

Intel N100/105 seems to fit the bill..........
There are many China based mini PC, but almost none of them actually "consumer friendly" in term of support.

I wouldn't touch any of those N100/105 mini PCs.

At least go for 5000/7000 Series Ryzen based ones on Taobao/Lazada.

If can afford get at least those AMD Strix Halo with Radeon 8000 Series Integrated GPU and RDNA 3.5.

Or Intel Arc Series
