I'm probably coping, but do you still need a discrete graphics card in 2026? If you're not running games then there is no use case. And even then you can get away with running a lot nowadays
Not really, no. Matter fact, who needs computers anyway? Imagine being at computers.
>>107810863if you're not a gamer no, not really. and even for gaymes name even one modern game worth buying itself, let alone buying a graphics card for
>>107810863Smells good.
>>107810863consumer cpu memory bandwidth: 50GB/sconsumer gpu memory bandwidth : 500GB/stheres no replacement for a gpu in certain workloads
>>107810863>>107811240>>107811250>>107811264seeing posts this retarded in january is alarming. hey faggots: did you stop and think to yourself even once that there are workloads besides videogames that can take advantage of gpu acceleration? video encoding and decoding, openCL calculations for simulations, LLM training (although i personally spit on these people), and graphic design are all examples of this. you are each one or more of the following:>under age retard who thinks graphics cards are only for games because that's all you've ever used one for>AI shill trying to dissuade technology enthusiasts from buying graphics cards>poop eating indianplease kill yourselves immediately, you have never and will never contribute anything of value to whichever society or societies are unfortunate enough to be propping you up right now.

>>107811280>consumer cpu memory bandwidth: 50GB/s
>>107811282>there are workloads besides videogames that can take advantage of gpu acceleration?consoomer gpus are suboptimal for it, for private use most of the software is optimized to take better advantage of cpu to make up for it, and if you are a corpo cuck "you"(your company) can afford a proper "workstation gpu" for it instead of memeing out geting everyone a 5090.and if you're an ai nigger either you're a coomer who is just using a character ai website, or are a corpo cuck who is leasing use of a data center.
FFMPEG hardware acceleration
>>107811282>video decodingyou don't need a discrete GPU for this anymore>video encodingrare use case, although if you're doing it a lot then maybe you could use a discrete GPU>llm trainingvery rare use case>simulationsvery rare use case>graphic designthe integrated GPUs in Apple products are probably enough but I don't know what things are like in Windowsland
>>107811288>its not 50, its 90the rx 590 i bought for 179 usd 6 years ago does 250and its only one thing that differentiates gpus from cpus>>107811291sounds like cope for being wrong
>>107811291>>107811298i'm a self taught hobbyist video editor and graphic designer who is too poor to go to school for it, let alone purchase a brand new high end graphics card especially in the overpriced workstation segment. i use a 6600xt to encode. you would have me believe that should not own a graphics card at all? i am begging God to drop a grand piano on your head the next time you go outside. if that does not happen, please do me the favor of killing yourself without divine intervention.
>>107811309for offline rendering it doesnt matter. the performance gain between doing a short film in 22 hours on cpu (or just a shittier gpu) vs 28 on your ebin rgb anime card is insignificant
>>107810863yes, maslow tier 1
>>107811314i don't own an ebin rgb anime card you illiterate faggot. the world will genuinely become a better place when you die.
>>107811321come and take it, pretty boy
video encoding, 3d modelling, scientific workloads, ai workloadsIf you don't care about that stuff you probably don't need one
>>107811291>if you're an ai nigger either you're a coomer who is just using a character ai website, or are a corpo cuck who is leasing use of a data center.There are multiple fucking generals in multiple different boards on this site all about running AI locally
>>107811388>in multiple different boardsai cancer 4th stage- its metastasizing
>>107811309Sounds like you're one of the rare people who _do_ need a discrete GPU for something other than gaming!
>>107810863You are coping, no matter the application it's better to have and not need than to need and not have, especially in the current sociopolitical climate where jews want to ban you from owning anything and turn you into a rentoid paypiggy for kike overlords
>>107810863also depends on monitors you want to connect.older motherboards tap out at 4k 30hz, newer ones probably at 4k 60hz.however displaylink is a thing if you're not anal about perfect color and sustained hz.
>>107811282You know integrated GPUs are actually GPUs right? You can run those accelerated workloads on an iGPU, they’re just not as fast. Exception is CUDA, but that’s a brand thing, not a “not a GPU” thing.
>>107810863integrated graphics have a certain rizz factor that dedicated gpus cannot compete with
>>107811679discreet sisters... our response? is it over for us?
>>107810863yes absolutely, if you play ANY game or have multiple screens running 4k 60fps
>>107811282x050 series is on the chopping block next, igpus are more than competent to handle midrange workloads
