875 paid members and anywhere fromhow many patreon subs does the dev have? I'm a bit surprised he can't just get a new GPU...

If the develoepr is doing this full-time (kind of seems likely) this income might be supplementing rent, living expenses, etc and might not have any left over. So, like us normal folks upgrading to $1000 GPU (which he probably needs the 5090) just isn't feasible, and he might have to upgrade more than just that, maybe mobo and cpu, and maybe add more memory (memory is so god damn expensive now). I've also heard on the newer gpu's some of the programs aren't compatible with models they use in game or causing errors and work right and some developers had to rollback to old versions thus not saving them anymore time with their vastly upgraded rig.
I guess he could get a "used one" of his same model, but those have skyrocketed to, and could you even trust the seller nowadays
I'm sure if it comes down to it and it is unrepairable he probably will just get a new one.
See my above comment.According to Patreon they have over 850 paid supporters. The minimum support is $1 per month. So... it's hard to determine the actual income.
