This is a relatable tech meme. At the top, text reads 'When you start your pc'.

This is a two-panel comparison meme. The left panel is labeled 'The setup-' and displays a high-end dual monitor PC gaming setup, with both monitors showing the exact same in-game scene side-by-side. This placement of identical visuals forces anyone looking at both screens simultaneously to strain or cross their eyes, creating the effect of 'splitting' one's vision.

The meme depicts a hallway with four sequential doors labeled 'GPU', 'Ram', 'SSD', and 'GPU (again)'. A Grim Reaper-like figure labeled 'AI*' stands in front of the final 'GPU (again)' door, holding a blood-stained scythe. Blood trails extend from the first three doors (GPU, Ram, SSD) to the Grim Reaper, implying AI has 'consumed' or caused price surges for these components and is now targeting GPU prices again. The watermark 'made with mematic' is visible at the bottom. The image satirizes the trend of rising hardware prices, particularly GPUs, driven by AI demand, with the repetition of 'GPU' highlighting recurring price issues, and the phrase 'AMD followed' (from the original title) suggesting AMD is mirroring NVIDIA's price hikes.
