>>109058970Why isn't the girl on the actual card???
>>109058970Who are these gpus for exactly?
i cant help but notice that there isnt a blackwell 6000 in op
>>109058977It's dumb person money at this point. Literally do anything else.
>>109059013gooners
>>109059017Yeah, odd. The 6000 is basically the tesla of today.
Guess I'm waiting for those 24 gb super cards to upgrade from my 2070 super.
>PCBG complains that Gamers Nexus didn't cover the rest of computex>suddenly they release a video of all the rest of the shit they didn't coverwe know you're here Steve.also, the Thermaltake retro peripherals and case look cool but apparently they unveiled them at CES so its not even new.
>>109059000yeah this never made sense to me, none of the waifu cards actually have the waifu on them. I think that AMD-only AIB is the closest to that, but even they don't put the actual girl on them.PCs need waifus inside them, i had to do it manually.
>>109059140Can't decide if this is based or retarded.
>>109059134next year>>109059137People are now getting ai summaries of their mentions across the whole web. you can set a schedule for it...
>>109059140Yeston don't have this issue
>>109059158>12gbahhh the painnnn
>>109059152mega retarded, dissolve that anon in battery acid
>>109059183Yeah 4070 Ti had a RAM issue. Here's a 4080.
>>109059140
I've been out of the loop for sometime now. I've been using a Ryzen Mini pc for a couple years now, are ram prices and gpu rises still really high? I'm mainly interested in a pc that can do games like AoE2 at 4k 120hz, i dont play new games much
>>109059158>>109059197Yes on needs new waifus, the current ones don't appeal to me. They need a short hair cute tomboy with flat chest and fat ass
>>109059227Yes, RAM is insane and GPU prices are still high, best deals are the 9070xt or if you must have Nvidia the 5070 for best value and the 5070ti for best value/perf.
>upgrading my build is basically going to cost an entire paycheckbros...
>>109059227ram is fucking bonkers. Gpus are kind of okay if you ignore the high end. 5070 isn't that much of an assfucking unless you insist on native 4k or something
>>109059238should have upgraded 16 months ago, the 9950x3d release was the perfect time to build a dream rig. missed out.
>>109059227Wait until next year, or buy expensive this year, or......try to find someone on fb marketplace that is selling his old system for cheap because he doesn't know any better. (good luck!)
>>109059261make no mistake, this doesn't stop me. heavily modded skyrim is my motivation. it's just gonna suck for a bit. thankfully, i'm getting out of debt next week.
>>109059286Just get interested in something else, for now. Really, the prices are bullshit right now.
>>109059140what the hell man, populate those fan slots at the bottom of the case
>>109059158>waifu card>stock amd coolernot surprising
>>109058970Ryzen 5 550032 gigaboiiis128 gb sata ssd4060 yeahdoes everything I need it to
>>109059371>128 gb sata ssdmy condolences
>>109059371samsung 990 pro 2tb seems like a popular ssd
>>1090589705090: 5090 tier doko
>>1090594245090 is too overpriced can't recommend it
>50% of smartphones price is ram nowwould be neat if past decade didnt have a neverending series of differnet nightmares happening
5070ti or 9070xt? 5080 seems retarded with only 16gb vram.Also need a rec on a ~32" OLED 1440
>>109059580no budget so buy 5070 ti and the upcoming 360hz qd oled 4k
>>109059594>no budget so buy 5070 tii'm leaning 5070ti too. think 5080 super would be worth the wait?>upcoming 360hz qd oled 4kthx anon
>>109059603to people who are lgbtqia and like questioning, or adjacent or "intersectional", and not full of hate or evil racism, I recommend nvidia for sure 100% get it.
>>109059603for gaming 16gb is fine, but for AI supers are much better the wait might be 7-9 months, and they might not arrive at all because vram prices are too high, so figure it out
>>109059603>5080 super
>>109059614good point>>109059625jew filename
>>109059594>5070 ti >360hz 4klogical pairing
>>1090596142 years for new ram plants to go live, 3 maybe for impact?but maybe in 1 year something will change or be invented.
>>109059632he does that every thread. It's just that guy who burned his 5090.
>>109059580get the 9070XT, the 5070ti doesn't have Advanced Shader Delivery
>>109059663>Advanced Shader Delivery>“To eliminate the shader-related stutters and load times that have plagued gamers for years, NVIDIA is working closely with Microsoft on launching Advanced Shader Delivery for GeForce RTX consumers later this year.”>Henry Lin, Director of Product Management, Gaming & AI at NVIDIA
>>109059668>it's okay to be late to the party when nvidia does itjust get the amd gpu and you can get it now
if only Nvidia's drivers were as stable as AMD's
What are the chances that the next generation of GPUs (when/if they're still coming) still has (top) models with 8pin connectors? I leave my PC on 24/7 and I don't want my house to burn down.
>>109059796I'd expect the next amd flagship to have three 8-pins and be rated for 450w max
>>109059796almost certain to have them for AMD
>>109059796Not if you're planning to buy Nvidia, AMD still uses 8pin connectors but even their partners are starting to use the 12v garbage connector.
>>109059796What is the rate of those melting though?Still retarded but I'm assuming it's under 1% or there'd be like a consumer recall on that shit, probably. And probably mostly the 5090's, curious that the 5080's seem to not have the issue as much, if at all.
>>109059835its likely under 0.1%
