I'm not saying the traditionally bustling Computex trade show in Taipei has been a desolate wasteland or anything, but it was certainly quieter than I've seen it in a long time. And there's only one thing I blame for that - the graphics card, or lack thereof.
It's been a tough 12 months for PC enthusiasts. Since this time last year it has been almost impossible to buy a decently priced GPU without sacrificing your first-born in some craven blood ritual to do so. And, partly because of that dearth of reasonable graphics card prices, we also haven't seen a new generation of GPUs from Nvidia in over two years, with AMD not likely to do anything until possibly this time next year.
Want to salve those retail cravings? Here's our pick of the best graphics cards you can buy right now.
With gaming being such a huge revenue-driver for the PC market, and much of Computex being focused solely on the PC, it's probably no surprise that with the show as a whole has been quiet.
With the week of Computex lacking anything new in terms of the most important gaming PC component, the GPU, it's had a major knock-on effect on the industry.
