There are no video games that actually require that power.

I’ve seen people do ray traces on 386s in high school. Took overnight to generate, but the point is. Intel has a lot of data on this process over those years. GPU makers have just only delved into ray tracing. This is the 3rd generation and frankly both have again made incremental improvements rather than producing a breakthrough product. Perhaps to keep selling GPUs.

Oufff I'm anxious about the programmation of all these gpu... imagine that almost Quadro 5000 into a game card all in programmation include

> It's that or nothing.

What are you talking about? There are lots of GPUs in prices ranging from $200 all the way up to those obnoxious prices.

There have always been obnoxiously overpriced options for those looking to stroke their e-peen. It used to be SLI builds, then Titan cards, now xx90.

Maybe Shop Refurbished Product.

At least, I will.

Lol you can

Hey Intel is trying don't count them out. Honestly though I just seen a review saying the Intel gpus have almost no slowdown when Ray tracing

A fool and their money are soon parted. You have to be special kind of person to spend the $$$ on this GPU.

New shortage because the stupid 16 pin is burning with too many gpus needed for RMA cases. Some AIBs want to first sort out the issue then sell guaranteed high rma rates of gpus which causes even less supply.

Small supply so prices rise. Even if the demand wouldn't be that big.

What kind of insane people would buy a 4080 or 4070ti when the AMD cards will be there for far less? If you don’t care about money and want the Best, Buy the 4090. For the rest go red

I'm expecting a price drop when the 7900xt/xtx releases, no way 4080s will move at that price if performance is comparable.

That’s what I’m doing. I’m just so damn confused about AMDs naming scheme lol

Apple sells both pretty and very high quality stuff though lol. The real people who “don’t know” are people who still think about Apple like they’re living in 2010

I always thought that FE cards were for some reason way more expensive than others.

I would hope they have gotten the drivers squared away after 5 years. This link below is the stuff I have been reading about AMD cards for years and I will think to myself "glad I don't have to deal with that". In this link people are talking about how you have to under clock the RX580 to get it to work right and this was 8 months ago. You should never have to do anything like that to get your GPU to work. I think I was reading a few weeks ago about people having problems with the 5000 series cards when they released. Again, maybe this is just a small minority of people and in general the drivers are fine, but I sure as hell don't want to spend money on a gpu knowing I might have to deal with a bunch of shit. I can't think of one time in the last 10 years I got a bad nvidia driver that caused my computer to malfunction

Good point, didnt think of them

My son had a RX580 and it ran pretty good on lastest drivers... But now he has a 3050... And it's been smooth since day one (granted I bought it 3 months ago)

Good luck.

As long as people buy Madden every year...

There will be the same people paying out the nose for GPUs to play Fortnite

4k VR or triple 4k monitors for people playing racing and flight sims. Those can utilize the performance from a 4090. Most of the people with those setups have money to spend and don't care about the cost of a 4090 when their sim rig alone costs $5k+.

Have you seen food prices lately? Its not just the gfx industry.

How do you know these aren't priced at MSRP? They start at Nvidia's MSRP and it's possible that other manufacturers are just pricing their cards higher, like they've done in the past.

Same. I went to Intel/Nvidia for personal setups around 10+ years ago after dealing with ATI shit drivers and shit hdcp support for years. A few years later I built a PC just to sell and make a few bucks and went with AMD stuff. It was still garbage at that time. I will recommend AMD cpu's, but never recommend AMD gpu's. I have seen people talking about shitty drivers on their last two generations of cards, but I don't have any personal experience. Maybe they have gotten a lot better and people are not experiencing too many issues, but my taste for Radeon has been soured. I am willing to pay a premium for system stability. I don't want to go back to the days where I have to fuck around with a bunch of shit to get a game to run.

Because the software I use runs better with Nvidia cards.

And actually only $1200 in this case.

Such a based guy. Can't compete.
