Seriously my 2070 is more than good enough. I got a 18% frame rate bump from upgrading my CPU which is actually in stock and not price gouged. To get a similar bump from a graphics card I would have had to spend an extra $1,000. Instead for $450 I got an 8 core processor that smashes my old 6 core to dust.

Fuck graphics cards, fuck ethereum, fuck the fbi, and fuck the jews.

So... you have a pretty decent GPU and you're asking why have one?

[–] • 10 pts

lol... right? I'm not getting this.

I like the fuck the FBI and Jews part tho.

Pretty much. He's not considering people who decided to skip a generation or two.

You can't even get a 1050 Ti for less than $400 now.

I got a 3080. It's sweeet.

my 2070

I don't think you're aware of what's going on, 5 year old cards are sold above their release msrp.

All I'm looking for is a GTX 1660 (I would also take a 1060) for my nephew and I'm seeing prices in the $800 range. When OP is running a GTX 460 like I am, then maybe he can talk.

[–] [deleted] • 4 pts

You can thank crypto mining for that.

[–] • 2 pts

Someone's them. I just can't find one for MSRP anywhere right now.

Even if miners didn't exist there would still be a shortage and gamers who get pissed about miners are faggots who need to grow up anyway

I'll sell you a 1080 for 300

[–] • 1 pt

Silly. They're going for close to $1K used right now.

[–] • 0 pt

Given that a 3060 is supposed to retail around $300, I think I just wait. Would you take $200?

Seriously? I bought a pre-built computer for the living-room, last year, with a 1660 in it for like, $1000 total. Maybe it might be worth it to buy pre-builts, salvage the cards, and re-sell the superfluous parts.

[–] • 1 pt

The pre-built still have access to good cards. I've seen complete Dell gaming rigs with something like a RTX 3080 for cheaper than a good quality RTX 3080 sells for by itself right now. For now, it's still worth waiting. I can't believe they are going to stay this pricey too much longer.

Pre builts are already gone.

Fuck graphics cards, fuck ethereum, fuck the fbi, and fuck the jews.

That escalated quickly.

The only things you'd need a high end graphics card for are AAA games. Considering the only one worth a damn is Doom, there's no reason to get another one.

Get into 3d design. Render out 3 minutes of video, 4k tiff images, with 20+ sources of light, high quality shadows, particle fx, materials to the sky, high vert counts, massive AA sampling, massive spec sampling, so on. 3 min = 180 sec = 5394.6 frames (at 29.97 NTSC standard) = 1618380 sec (at 5 min per rendered frame) = 26973 min = 449.55 hours = 18.73125 days of render time. Granted, 5 min per frame is really high, but you can see how things can escalate quickly. Thats assuming nothing crashes, and you don't even look at the computer. I would transition for a double stack of 2070, 64 memory and a 16 core.

Half-Life Alyx and Metro Exodus were both pretty cool imo.

I usually am playing Minecraft or CS:GO tho tbh.

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

You don't need a good graphics card for any of those. I just got the Acer Nitro 5 laptop with the GTX 1650 and it plays everything up to 2019 or so on ultra around 60 fps. $150 card for desktops.

I need one for VR and another for accelerated video encoding. Guess I'll have to wait a couple of years...

Radeon RX570 here. Combined with my Ryzen 7 1700x, there's not much I am missing.

Sure, some games don't do 120Hz @ 4K, but who cares. 1080p and 60Hz is enough.

Are GPUs in such short supply because everybody and his brother is trying to mine shitloads of cryptocurrency before the US dollar goes Weimar?

[–] [deleted] • 4 pts

No, they are in short supply because there's too many chips to produce and not enough fabs or materials. Almost everyone is having their chips made by TSMC and that's really putting a squeeze on production. The new consoles coming out seems to have fucked up the supply of everything else produced by TSMC more than anything. Thanks to Apple, no one else can even produce anything on TSMC 5nm right now and the consoles are taking up most of the 7nm production.

Nvidia's chips are produced by Samsung but they don't have anywhere near the production capabilities of TSMC and then you've still got the material shortages going on.

[–] • 2 pts

I was not aware AMD's cards were made by TSMC; I would have thought they would go with GlobalFoundries. Looks like they've been relying entirely on TSMC for RDNA1 and later.

Funny how "our" politicians don't seem to be the least bit concerned about all our chips being made by one company.

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

Global foundries is way behind everyone else in fab tech. I think they're at 14nm and TSMC is about to launch their 3nm production. AMD still uses them for the memory controller on their CPUs but that's it and hopefully Zen 4 will change that because their memory controllers kind of suck. My first 5800X had the memory controller die and take out the whole CPU after a month. On my second 5800X now.

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts (edited )

hehehe I'm about to get a 16core because my 8core is too slow for high end VR with the RTX 2070

It never ends...

On the plus side, I rocked this 8core for about 10 years now, and it smokes most everything..... until you go 4k or VR, at that point the GPU cant do it alone.

[–] • 1 pt

Being able to run DDR4 on a current gen memory controller and NVMe storage will make a big difference with 4K and VR as well.

I didnt spend all those friday nights alone learning to code so I could rock minecraft on a netbook. xD

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts (edited )

It depends on your monitor or headset. I need a 3090 to get the most out of my Pimax 5k Super. Since they're unobtainium at MSRP and I don't have much time for gaming anyway, my 1080ti will have to last a bit longer.

Fuck Ethereum. Bitcoin is King.

Boomer level analysis.

Monero is the only true crypto currency. Everything else is a centralized shillcoin.

I mean there's a reason why the IRS has a 650k bounty on Monero and no other crypto.

You have to allow a symbotic relationship with jewry. Proles contribute labor. Investors contribute capital. The jew is like the guy at the front of the snowpiercer train who designed the whole thing and keeps it running. Now how could he keep it running without surveillance?

[–] • 0 pt

I get the whole new thing and all but how daft are you to think Jewry could be encoded into a cryptocurrency. Half of what you just said sounds like the ramblings of a drunk.

Monero doesn't need a willy Wonka Snowpiercer at the front of the train to run it.

Bitcoin SV has the actual tech and block size to replace Ethereum and change the world. BTC has dumb money and tether money launderers behind it.

[–] • 1 pt

lol bsv has been successfully 51/50 attacked twice.

put a fork in 'er. she's done.

besides, proof-of-work is outdated bullshit. look into a proof-of-stake blockchain like ethereum is going to try to be with 2.0; a total concession that PoS is the future (no wasted power solving archaic puzzles, WAY faster, staking rewards for hodling, TINY fees).
