I like my wires unmelted so I'll stuck with my 3090 ti thanks.

Why buy this when you can run most games out there on ultra with a 300$ 20 series card. Unless you're doing extreme rendering, like heavy CAD work, you don't need these newer cards, might not need them even then.

The relentless effort to remove the need for humans to perform tasks continues. And when most of the humans are unnecessary, what happens then? Where do people get the money to consume goods and services?

UBI is nice in theory. It assumes the benevolence of our ruling class, who at that point will be our supreme overlords. There are other possibilities that aren't as nice.

Anyway, my DoorDash order is almost here.

Read the article...?

I want to see reg market price. Mc are a small company. So pricing is worst for them

Maybe in USA

An RTX 4090 FE is still $1599, and an RTX FE 4080 is $1199. The performance difference is supposedly between 20-30% which would be a price difference of $317 to $479, seems fair that it's being priced about $400 lower than the 4090 to me :\

And it kind of makes sense that if the performance difference changes because a card is overclocked by a partner vendor, the performance difference is probably less, hence the price difference.

They should be comparing apples to apples, otherwise it's just histrionics.

An OC 4090 will cost similarly more than an FE 4090, the way an OC 4080 will cost more than an FE 4080. So it stands to reason that an OC 4080 will be closer in price & performance to an FE 4090.

7900xtx ftw, hopefully

I built a pc during covid and the shortage and that 4gb RX570 was $400. Now it’s $65. I’ll wait lol

Wait for 6 months and buy those below$1000

Bloody hell how bad is the US used car market. Here you can get a running car for very very cheap if you know what you're looking for. I've seen people get functional cars that still have an MOT (Thing that certifies your car is road worthy) for £100 ($140)

I never heard of path tracing before. Do you have any recommended reading I can do to learn about it?

Amd is claiming a 1.5x - 1.7x uplift over the 6950. I think you need to check your mathematics here, friend, because you're spreading some questionable information. Let's take the OC'd 4080 and compare it to the 6950.

15,062 ÷ 10644 ~ 1.415. This means the overclocked 4080, which may cost more than the $1200 msrp, is only 41.5% faster than the 6950. If amd isnt bullshitting us, then the overclocked 4080 will be slower than the 7900xtx.

This is the gen I give AMD another chance. As long as benchmarks test well of course.

The change in price has never been this high though. Been buying cards since The 9800 pro from ati and Nvidia 6800(doom 3) . Most aib cards maxed out at 10-15% more (330-350 vs 300 at the time) and that was only if they touted better cooling AND overclocked. This is close to a 30% increase.

I got a 12 gig 3080 six months ago, I'm skipping this gen. Haven't even looked at benchmarks or anything, just feels nice to be finally done being on the damn lookout.

Plus my hardline matx build won't fit anything with a PCB larger than the standard height like EVGA xc3's, and... Yeah . RIP

They priced the 40 series cards to sell more 30 series card stock. They overproduced because of crypto and don't want to lose money on them.

Y’all be talking like any actual content needing more power has been developed since the 3000 series.

Just get a 3080 ti

Skyrim w/ mods is gonna look the same to you in the dark

Sort of like every time a long-time marriage/relationship breaks up.
Always takes a while before one is willing to get back "dating" again.

2nd hand cards suss me out a lot tho.

Lol, Lmao

I'm over here waiting for that sweet sweet hopefully decently priced 7700XT
