Now that graphics cards have played outWhat did you end up with as your forever card?
>>1078088423080 (10gig).
An RTX 3060 12GB. I consider myself lucky, and I hope it'll live forever indeed.
>>107808842Discrete cards aren't out you dunce. They are simply reverting back to their professional/prosumer roots. iGPUs are already good enough for the majority of mainstream use cases.

4090 (laptop). Only got it because it was the only model with 16GB VRAM. Now I'm damn glad I did, will easily get me through the next 3 years and likely beyond. I refuse to pay sort of premium for RAM or GPU, fuck those kikes.

>>107808842RTX 4000 SFF Ada 20GB. Wish I'd gone with the non-SFF (faster).
>>1078088424080 Super, got it primarily for 3D rendering. I had a GTX 1060 which got me by for a couple years as a beginner but as time went on and my projects became more advanced and required more resources, the 6GB VRAM (and the lack of RT hardware in a path tracing-based workflow) increasingly limited what I could do, I was getting "out of VRAM errors" more and more frequently.
I have a rx 9070xt, rx 6800xt, rx 5700xt, and 2 rtx 2080 ti's. I also have a GTX 980 ti sitting in its box on a shelf. In all honesty I don't know why I even bothered to upgrade gpus considering I've been using the same 1080p monitors for the past 6-7 years.
>>107809474Sounds like you’re in the amd cult
>>107808842Njudea leaving the consumer space is a good thing. They ruined 3d graphics with their AI upscaling slop. Hopefully we can get other manufacturers entering the space making graphics first gpus.

>>107809501Oh no I moved away from nvidia when they started to only want to push their AI nonsense. I must be the one in the cult.
>>107809543Upgrading a card every 2 years is cultish
>>1078088421080 Ti.I currently also have a working 4090 but it's only a matter of time the power cable will melt then it's back top the 1080 Ti.
>>1078088421080 Ti is doing everything I need.
RX 580 8 GBBought it used in the summer of 2018 for $180 canadian. My 2 previous nvidia cards (8800 gts and gtx 570) lasted like 2 years each. Have a R9 270x if the 580 shits the bed.
>>107808842I just got a 9070XT in the mail. I still need to install it.
RTX 4090, I have a 10GB RTX 3080 in my living room pc that I could take if needed. Feels good, but I wish I did the 5090 swap for essentially nothing when I had the chance, but I was lazy and wanted the 32-bit PhysX support anyway. I thought it was hardware limitation or Nvidia would just never bother to patch in support, because why would they?
1050ti Also the GTX580 3GB from 2011 it replacedCan't in to AI or modern slop but does the needful saar
>>107809296Lol I got a 3060Ti for $470 and sold my 2060 for the same price with that thing. I miss EVGA.
>>107809409How much did you pay for that space heater?5070 Ti laptop costs me $2900
>>1078088425060ti 16gb. Two of them.
>>107809677Around £2000, it was a Lenovo black friday deal.I need to leave it in the "silent" profile because it also has a 16-core AMD CPU which will gladly spin my fans out of control just by browsing the web. But on that setting both heat and noise are a complete non-issue. Gaming demands headphones, though.
>>1078088429070xtyes, i know i fucked it up, i know i should have bought 5070ti and i really REALLY wanted to, but the cheapest 5070ti was like €140 more for the shittiest Palit GamePro-S SFF with non-existing warranty.A decent 5070ti model, from a reputable shop and actual warranty would cost at least €250 more. Also my PSU doesn't have a 12v 16 pin cable, so 2x8 pin on 9070xt seemed like a safer choice.That said, i could have gotten a 5070 for €450.Wasn't sure if better raster performance is worth it over better support + general versatility of nvidia gpus + better resale value
>>107808842This i guess. Only one I could get from the navy exchange.
>>107809789Also have these 2. The 4070 ti super ventus is really shit. It rattles under high load in my case.
>>107808842I have 6600gt, ati 5870, amd r9 270x, 1060 6gb, 1660ti and a 5080+3050 6gb (really wasn't expecting physx to come back)
rx 6600, got it for 189 eur in 2023.eh, runs my 20 yo multiplayer games well enough.
>>1078088421050ti 4gb, i guess.i wanted to buy an asus 9060xt 16gb on black friday but since i'm from a poor third world shithole i don't have a credit card. i asked my brother for help but didn't. it would have been 340$ plus 20$ tax, but after BF it went back to 390$, so it would've been 410$ still somewhat manageable. since asking my brothers for help (they didn't help) now the card is 430$, and since it has passed the 400$ threshold for less tax, now it would cost me 482$. not happening.
>>107809805have you tried securing it better?figuring out what is rattling?
RTX 5080I dont see it as a forever card though but at least for the rest of the wretched 2020's decade which might feel like forever.
>>107809831hell yeah brother
>>107808877I've got one for a spare. I was gonna sell it but then remembered that physX not working crap. if I had to pick a favourite it'd be my 1660 Super. That got me through the pandemic and my grad school poorfaggotry. I'll never forget it.
>>1078088421050 Ti still good enough.
>>1078088425090 32gbthe connectors' fragility annoys me to no end though>>107808977it might be the last high performing monolithic gpu
>>107809660>I thought it was hardware limitation or Nvidia would just never bother to patch in support, because why would they?no shame there, i thought the same
>>107808842>iGPUs are already good enough for the majority of mainstream use cases.doom the dark ages?
>>107809660fwiw, rtx5000's 32bit physx emulation performs worse than the native 32bit acceleration on older cards that the 4090 still outperforms the 5090 if 32bit physx is enabled
>>107809533CL28s here, but only 32GB. I'd say I will just close my browser tabs to be just as future proof as you.>>107809660It's a hardware limitation for something that simply isn't used anymore. It's only legitimate use was funny liquid gel blobs, other physics objects are simulated via other means.
>>1078088421070 tiNow upgraded to a 5070ti
>>107810145>It's a hardware limitation for something that simply isn't used anymore.I know but I unironically replay the Batman games, Mirror's Edge, and Mafia 2 a lot. They're some of my favorite games. It's a real shame that PhysX is basically dead, it was cool tech and still adds a lot to immersion even today.

5090, it'll arrive whenever it arrives. Got it for under 3k so a good deal in my books.Not American either, so chances of the store cancelling it to jew extra money are very low.Will use my 3080 10GB until then.
>>107810300I'd be so mad if I bought a 7900 XTX, the fact that a late 2022 $1000 GPU gets no FSR4 support is fucking crazy. Even Nvidia is still giving DLSS 4.5 to the RTX 2000 line from 2018.
>>107810316>Not American either, so chances of the store cancelling it to jew extra money are very low.Mexico is run by Israel and every EU country is too, hope this helps.
PNY 4090. Looking forward to the 6090 if it releases.
>>107810321Its even worse when you consider that the 7900xtx was the flagship up until march 2025 when the 9070xt launched

I got two cards: I built a windows pc that was meant for unreal engine.. got a 3060 12GB in that build. A year later I built a new linux pc and originally migrated my 1060 to it. But later I upgraded to 4060TI 16GB (for prompting)I never upgraded after that, maybe I should have swallowed the €2,5k pill and bought 4090/5090 but apart from that I think I can get by for a while longer.. Might even sell of the 3060 with profit.. and I bought that one during the covid price spike
>>107808892>iGPUs are already good enough for the majority of mainstream use cases.Except for games, which is one of the most mainstream use cases of using a computer.
>>107810381>i boughted the highest XTX tier just to play indie pixel slop in four kayAnd that is why you're hard stuck with AyyMDed.
>>107810343The 9070XT is a mid range card not enthusiast like the 7900XTX they are not even the same card on paper they aren't even in the same performance bracket
>>107808842my rx 580 died in march last year of vram failure and I ended up buying a new rx 7600 for 250€on one hand, I should've probably bought a used gt 710 or something like that to just use my pc for basic needs (no igpu) and then boughted a 9060 xt 16 gb when that released 3/4 months later, but in the end, it's more than capable enough for the few older games I play (no aaa unreal engine slop for me), still way faster than the 580 was, plus I decided to also order 32 gb of ddr 4 ram for 50€ at the same time which turned out to be a good deal...the only really bad thing about this card is the 8 gb of vram which on one hand makes me anxious but at the same time i really think it's a way blown out of proportion problem and with 80% of gamers still having 8 or less and ngreedia still selling 400+€ 8 gb cards (which sell like hotcakes) devs that actually care at least a little bit about the games they make will have to make this work for the next 5+ years.

I could probably stick with this 5070ti forever but I yearn for 4k and to max sliders. We'll see if I can get my hands on a 6090 on release, if not I can stay at 1440p for a while longer.
>>107810464im not a cultist or anything i just buy stuff on deals
>>107810438just curious: why do you flip flop between budget/high end so much?do the budget cards belong to a separate living room computer or something like that?
i have a 5090 and two 3090s, sold the older ones off
>>107810537i use budget cards cause i dont need high end, i just buy stuff when i find a good deal and sell eventually
>>107810559>i'm just a niggerstrange thing to openly admit
>>107810590i mean i dont really feel like paying 2x the price for some high end shit
>>107810438Kill yourself
>>107808842I have a 5080, I wasn't going to stock hunt for the 5090 and I'm not paying 3k+ for one either.
>>107810471>*** 6090 and 4k OLED on releaseSure, the new monitor at this point is going to be a minor fraction of the cost for you, but it is still something to consider. I choose to stick with 1440p for the foreseeable future so that I can have muh framerate and never give it up.
>>107808892You weren't even born back when SGI workstations and software licenses cost more than a nice car.
>>107810601that's clearly not what I meanthaving a budget gpu isn't niggerlicious, scalping is.
>>107810678im not going out and buying dozens of cards like some people do lol i just buy one every few months if i find a good deal i dont consider myself that big of a scalper the only one that turned big profit is 3090titheres also some profit on 7800 and 7900 cause people were unloading those early last year and they went back up
>RTX 4090Yeah I'm pretty set.>>107809660>>107810098>>107810145>but I was lazy and wanted the 32-bit PhysX support anyway. I thought it was hardware limitation or Nvidia would just never bother to patch in support, because why would they?They actually patched it in a recent driver like a month ago.https://www.neowin.net/reviews/our-tests-show-lack-of-nvidia-physx-brutally-hammers-even-most-powerful-amd-intel-cpus/Not every game is supported yet but a lot of them are. It's still a big performance hit (using a translation layer, physical hardware support isn't available) but much better than before.
>>107808842Still using my GTX 1080ti 11GB, how much longer do I have until it's cooked ?
>>107810725It's already cooked because it's beat by 5050s with minor tuning, but by that metric it is just barely hanging on. One more generation and it truly is out of the viable zone for modern games. You're either underwater because the next generation a year or two from now will be priced appropriately extortionately for the AI era, or sitting pretty because it will be after the bubble crash and you can get a good upgrade for cheap.
>>107810970There's nothing I really want to play aside from Onimusha and Phantom Blade Zero this year, after that it doesn't really matter anymore.
>>107810725Replace the thermal pads and paste and clean it with 91% isopropyl alcohol. It will last forever
>>107810725It's been cooked for AAA for 2 years now but if you don't care about that, just replace the fans when they die and change the thermal paste.

>>107808842That card by a different make. Just cleaned it today. I've changed the fans once when one stopped working. I keep the card underclocked since you don't need much to play Factorio, AoE2, RCT2, or D2. The newer D2RE takes a little more power but the card handles it easily.

>>107811390>intel are the only ones releasing interesting products in 2026, hell has frozen overA real shame you need resizable bar to get any performance out of their cards. My latest machine is a decommissioned Lenovo p520 with an intel W-2150b. The CPU is more than enough for my needs but the lack of rebar means i am stuck with Nvidia or AMD.Get your shit together Intel and I will buy one of your cards.

>>107809789that looks so sleeki wish they'd made the 5090 version a 3-slotter to better handle the 600W tdp
I replaced my 1070 with a 4060 like a year or two ago. Was inexpensive and uses less power and has dlss but I really want an AMD card so will probs get a 9060xt.
>>107810223i'm still on that 1070ti god
>>107811600I'd rather they modify the FE to be stupendously wide instead and put some big fans in there, 140 or larger.
>>107808842Well at least it stopped at a point good enough for 4K per eye VR with foveated rendering.I think there will still be newer cards made but in longer cycles.AMD is a fucking useless competitor, I hope China steps in hard to break the silicon circle jerk.

>>107808977Nice. Kind of wish I snagged one at msrp.I have a 4090. Cant justify getting fleeced by an upgrade, but id RDNA5 or Rubenstein is any good at all I'll be gambling on the next generation being the last, and thus buy the best card from either. Holy fuck I hope AMD finally stops being retarded so I can gayme on Linux exclusively with no issues.
>>107811655>Chinese competitionOr even Intelaviv, but they tend to only do the wrong thing too.
>>107809932nah, I reckon a 6080 equivalent will release after a few years passed to milk the inflated prices on the older node, card would have much lower VRAM but comparable performance for half the price.If AMD can't capitalize on this shitstorm then their graphics card division is less than fucking useless.
>>107811908I dont understand how they can rape Intel to death but then fuck up with gpus so fucking bad, especially when Nvidia is obviously shitting the bed and price gouging hard. I want a full red machine but can never justify the purchase.

>intel hd4000Life is good.
>>107811901I looked at intel the performance isn't that much better and the drivers aren't the best. I want AMD mostly because I'm on Linux only now and have been for some time and AMD drivers are fully open and have much less issues. That being said I experience no issues on arch with my 4060.

I would rather buy a plane ticket to the USA than spend $800 for a 5070 or $1000 for a 5070 Ti by now.It seems I'll just have to contend with my home renders being PS2/PS3 tier with 2018 waiting times for path traced renders until my 30s.
>>107808972>>107812180Based fellow 4070brosIt's not an amazing card but it gets the job done for 1440P

>>107810698Don't listen to that Nigger I do the same, i sold my rtx 2070 super for almost the same prices as I bought it 2 years ago. Also sold few ddr4 kits for 45% profit lmao
>>107811600I like it. I only have SFF cases
>>107812406Do not go micro itx, the heat buildup kills the components
>>107812661AMD already abandoned RDNA3
>>107813120What were you expecting Nigger? Unreal engine 5 is the worst offender when it comes to optimization
>>107813504He said mATX which has zero downside
>>107813237I'm still on 1080p, maybe I'll get a 1440p sometimes, but the 4070 runs everything I tried on full detail so far, even Cyberpunk runs on Psycho details at stable 60fps except exactly two times where it dipped to like 55, it's gonna last me for a while
>>107808842More than satisfied for the time being (especially with this absurd UV/OC potential), but I don't believe in "fuck you got mine", because nothing lasts forever. So I can only hope the card lasts longer than this clown world AI craze does.
>>107810223I went from a 1080 to the 5070ti, it should stay relevant for quite a bit
>>107813517Ah yes. Frame Gen.Who the fuck cares?
>>107808842All the poorfags with their cards that ends in 50, 60, 70, 80 lmfaoThose are defective chips
i'm manifesting that my 2070 super will outlive the rest of my pc.i want to buy a new one (with an amd card) but i just cant justify buying in this market. works fine most games in 1080p though
Sapphire nitro 6600xt ($400 mid 21)Powercolor red devil 6950xt ($700 late 22 I think)I don't play anymore so I'm set forever by default, but if I do I doubt there's ever going to be anything worth playing post like 2018 so I'll be set with either option.
>>107813605Are you me? Ps with the dlls 3.5 there is no reason to buy a brand new card (unless you care for native resolution)
This one :)
>>107813602A defective chip is just a cut down chip relative to the fully unlocked chipBy this logic the workstation cards are defective
>>107813684samethis card seems literally unupgradeable for the next decade with where we're heading
>>107810324Oh but the US isnt you absolute mouthbreather?
>>107813564Getting 10% more FPS really worth the risk of killing your card?
>>107810438>7800 GS>GT710>RX580>RTX3060 12GB>RTX3090 24GBI could have upgraded to a 4090 but decided to wait for the 50 series only for it to be a total flop.
XTX, at the time njudea required a login to download drivers through their desktop app so I made the right choice
>>107813755In what way would undervolting kill the card?

>>107813755>really worth the risk of killing your cardJeez, you guys are pussies nowadays.Just watch your temps, slap some PTM 7950 onto it and you'll be fine.You can't even control voltage nowadays. And 10% power boost won't kill shit if your fans are spinning.It's not like during Maxwell days when you could edit your BIOS, slap 1.3V onto the GPU and run some 970 with two 6-pin connectors at 300W.

>>107808842a 4080 and a 6990xt in the secound systemmy problem in the old 5800x3d and with only 32gb ram......in one of the systems
Honestly I don't "need" more but it would've been cool to have a 5090 just because I built this computer after getting my first big boy job and wanted it to be a "no expenses spared" build. There's like 3 games in existence where you "need" that at 4k though and one is Cyberpunk so whatever.
>>107814435Not according to my testsI put an EM meter inside one and then met up my 10k watt linear CB amp and it pegged the meter. It doesn’t do that in the ammo cans. Probably because of the rubber grommets and the tight locking lid
>>107814576'Poorfag' 980Tigger (since 10 yrs ago when I did my own no expenses spared flagship build), I got a mbp m4 pro along with a mini m4 base this year and havr been using them instead. So yeah I do have computing power, but not for gaming. So haven't experienced games past that which my ps5 is capable, and my question to you is, what the fuck are you getting out of spending the price of an entire build just on a GPU? The diminishing returns are crazy when it comes to gayming.Gameniggers (or rather enginiggers) no longer give a fuck about neither time nor space complexity because of the increased computing power along with consoomerism and this is particularly prevalent on PC. I'm currently playing MH Wilds on ps5 performance mode. It runs what to me appears at a flawless 60fps (and im typically very sensitive to dips below 45), resolution is "shit" according to some negroids but to me it isn't that bad on my 55" Samsmug QLED
>>107813288>there are second hand rtx 3060 12 gigs for half of thatnot in the used market of my yuropoor country, a year ago it was like... just 50€ less for a used 3060 12 gb compared to a new 7600, and if you ignore the vram (which isn't a problem for me as I plan to stick to 1080p for quite a while still), it's also a 20% slower card which isn't insignificant.
>>107814485>cries in 3rd gen ryzen
>>107814977thinking of grabbing a ryzen 7 5700x soon to set my am4 motherboard up for the next 10 yearsthose tech nerds have crafted quite a world for us
>>107811376I'm not as kitted out as him but also ended up with a 1080Ti as my dedicated jellyfin transcoder because it was the GPU leftover at the time. Makes negative sense to spend anything if you have an unused card.
3080 10GB for me. Was really Waiting™ for the rumored 5080 Super with 24GB of VRAM for a more substantial VRAM bump, but looks like that's never happening with current VRAM/RAM prices. Even without the ridiculously expensive memory prices, a GPU upgrade would technically cost me thousands of dollars as I'd have to move to AM5 since pairing a 5080 class GPU with a Ryzen 5600 sounds retarded.
6600 XT. It does everything I need and likely for the foreseeable future. The current market just preys on whales/consumebrain retards.
>>107815188You can buy a Quadro P6000 which has 24gb for ~$500 and it will get performance around a gtx 1080.The other option is a rtx 2080 which has been modded with 22gb of vram. It too is ~$500Neither of these things are ideal but if you just want a card for AI and not gaming both will work good enough.
>>1078088426800xt I'm kind of the point where I would have got 9070xt but it is also 16 gb card so it does not seem like this big of an upgrade even if it 50% faster. If there was 32gb version for 100$ more I would have bitten the bullet.
>>107815535you'd be sitting pretty for the next 5-10 years with that though
>>107808967>>107809095God tier. 7900 xtx will forever be my fav gpu. Next to my old 1050ti...
>>1078155527900xtx and 1050 ti sure have a lot in common, both are even losing software support around the same time...

I don't even know what to do with my 1080 ti anymore. My main PC has a 3080 10GB, there's 9070XT in my console box, and my server has a 1660 pulling plex transcode duty. It's just sitting on my desk. The 3080 will suffer the same fate when I replace it with a 5080 in a few weeks.
>>107815693Hows the 9070XT in comparison to the 3080?
>>107815827It's got an edge over the 3080 in a straight up comparison, in my experience.

>>107808842Radeon 6600Dont need anything else for my energy budgeted gayming machine. It just werks, I can handle not having ultrarealistic graphics at 9000 gorillion fake frames. I played Stellar Blade on it and it ran well.>consider thisWith AI hogging all the memory, it is said that consoles will be so fucked up that the next gen will be postponed, so I with this puppy I can play new games for years to come because said games will have to be optimized for this console generation, PC ports will reflect that, and thats all I care for.the only thing I feel for is the PC builder companies (meaning smol ones, not dell or lenovo, etc) that will be caught in the crossfire of companies not offering new products and people not buying new shiny computers.
>>1078088423080 I want to switch to amd so much. Have been waiting for good drivers in linux since almost two years.wayland suck ass and there are missing resolutions in X. And they cut support for X while wayland keep sucking ass.

7900XT. My only gripe is that rocm is dogshit and even when you use rocm-pytorch and it detects "cuda", lots of AI models are just hardcoded to use cuda functions and you get nowhere
>3080 ti For 1440p it could be a lot worse. Undervolted and happy with it.
>>107812180The super cards were only a rumor when the 4070 came out. Don't feel too bad about it. My 4070 is more than enough to run my games at 4k.
RTX 4080
>>107808842They really fucked up releasing the 1080ti, nothing will ever match it and we're going to lord over their heads forever kek
3060 12Gb I got for 400 burger pesos 3 years ago, it could be worse. I can get a new 5060 16Gb for 500 burger pesos, should I get one? I want to generate videos of my waifus.The 3090 is still at least a 1000 burger pesos.
>>107817367sure, it's enough for gaming and most things, but I am still butthurt over it. those 4GB actually make a difference when messing around with local ai.
5060 8GB because I'm poor.
>>107810427>Highest gay tracing performanceYeah you can fuck off with that shit
>>107808842The one and only, the end of an era.
I even have spare original coolers lying around. If that dies, I'll use my spare Gainward 2070S, still enough for 90% of the games I play.
>>107808842RTX 4080Way overkill for my needs, but it will handle anything I throw at it for the foreseeable future future. Might downvolt it as well just to futureproof it. Considered 7900 XTX but cuda cores and more robust professional ecosystem around it might come in handy if I ever need them in the future.
I bought a used 3090 for $500 and thought I would get another one for cheaper in a year, now two years later they go for $700
>>107817885huh, a gtx 1080ti more than doubles the performance of my rx570 bought in 2019
Bought this in 2023 and I don't regret it. >inb4 FSR4who gives a shit
>>107814937I am in France, I just bought an rtx 3060 for 150 euros shipping included. On vinted, works perfectly. Now that was 3 months ago, the prices went up by 40-50 euros minimum, even more for boxed and founders edition cards
>>107817962That's why it's still the goat of 1080p pure gaming. Even runs cyberpunk and rdr2, can't raytrace tho
Currently on a 4090 that I bought on release. Might upgrade to a 6090 in 2027 or whenever those come out if the perf boost is big enough. 5090 was only like 25% faster so I didn't buy one.
>>107813755It can be done with literally no increase in risk, because the card can perform much better at stock voltages than it actually does. It's technically more "risky" than undervolting it, but to put it that way is just silly.
>>107813225most we have out here is two bajillion coyotes, theyre chill, forest dogs are for petting
>>107809192Same
>>107808842For now RTX A4000 SFF Ada. Got it on sale and it's one of few cards that fits my build, although I had to install custom heatsink.
>>107809318Honestly based, we all need to go outside again, fuck this technocrats. it was all a big mistake, AI is useless too.
>>107818563technically an FX 5900xt is my only gpu now that i actually use for gamingeverything else i got rid of when prices skyrocketed so now its just a laptop and the retro pc
>>107818638because i found myself a lot happier just kinda ditching the hobby and going outside
Triple fan Asus 3060, if it's die I'll probably switch to gainward 250 over buying new card.
6750 XT, with all the shit going on I'm more liable to upgrade my monitor in the next two years. Thinking of getting one of those 4k OLEDs that they'll be coming out with since I don't play modern AAA games. Are gamescope sessions easy to setup outside of that one arch package? I want to 2x upscale 1080p games in case I need more performance. Running Fedora atm
ASUS TUF 3070. got it for 'free' for a day's work helping a family member wire some cameras up, hopefully it lasts forever. still runs all my games at 120fps+upgraded from a GTX 760
I have a 1060 I kept putting off from upgrading. I'm not worried about performance (don't play games) but it's gonna die one day and I'll have to just become a laptop fag with a docking station instead of having a real PC.
>>107808842got an Astral 5090 paired with a 9950x3D as my main rig.got a 5070 ti laptop as my travel/hooked up to tv media device.got an FE 3090 + 9950x3D rig I built for my sister with my old GPU.the only one I'm debating whether to upgrade now or wait is my lil bros PC I made out of spare parts, my old 1060 6gb with a 5800x CPU.it's running fine for what he uses it for, so I may just wait a year or two more.
RTX 3060 12 GB GPU and an AMD 5700X3D CPUI think I will be just fine for the next decade, though I got these 2 years ago, but still.Worse comes to worse, I got stock bonuses from my job that will fill in any gaps, not to mention back up parts I can use in the meanwhile until the replacements come in.
>>107808842RTX 4060 8GBJust fucking end my life, PLEASE. It was an emergency buy because my 2060 died suddenly. I wasn't supposed to be using it forever.
I'm a tech glutton and pretty well off so right now I have a 5090, 4070ti, 3090, and 3080 (office, secondary office, livingroom/vr, bedroom)In ten years after the corpo ai wars turn actual cyberpunk violent I'll sell the lowest 3 and buy an island

>>107810669Kiddie, discrete cards now cost as much as 3D professional hardware back in the day. We have going full circle. Professional-tier cards and their software license costs already cost as much as nice car-into entry level supercars.Again, desktop platforms and their price points/ecosystems are regressing back to their prosumer/professional roots.
>>107810408They are good enough for vast majority of gayming stuff and stuff that makes the developers the money. You don't need 4K/RT for gacha/micro-transaction simulator.Times have been changing.

>>107819596because most users can get what they need done with a modern mobile processor and integrated graphics. Your mom doesn't need a 5090 to send me unfunny stuff she found on facebook.
>>1078088423080 Ti (12GB)
>>107808842The 3090 FE. I was never impressed enough by the 4090 to justify the price, and the 5000 series is a flop and even more overpriced, so my 3090 is in it for the long haul. Just repadded and repasted it, nice and cool and quiet now. 7950x3D and 64gb ram in there too, I'm thinking I'm all good. I don't even usually play the latest slop anymore, and the rare times I do I have no problem just running at 1080p or 1440p or whatever to get at least 60fps. Only problem is that I'm on Linux only, so I hope dx12 performance improves in the drivers soon
1660 super, but I'm fairly confident that the 6060 will come out in another two years and have 12GB VRAM so I'm gonna continue waiting. I played through the RE4 and SH2 remakes just fine so it's not like I'm suffering.
>>107814576Is that really the box of a $2000 graphics card?ROFL
>>107808842Should get by with this.
>>107810408Most people don't think playing Death Stranding 2 or Monster Hunter Wilds at 4K/265 FPS with Ray-tracing is a necessity. Most people also don't play Death Stranding 2 or Monster Hunter Wilds.
>>107808842EVGA 3070 FTW. 8GB unfortunately, but it hasn't been as bad as I expected. I guess I just don't give a shit about maxed out settings and I play don't play a lot of VRAM intensive games.
