I heard a lot of people’s recommending the Amd 9070xt over the 7900xtx, why is that?
5800x3d costs more than a 7800x3d its over.
>>109134000Is that a piss bottle?
If Noctua made an Onahole I'd buy it.
>>109134007What are meme-OLEDs doing a classic IPS screen doesn't? Didn't IPS already have god tier color?
>>109134013noc tuah brown noctussy accepts only bwc
still can't believe the 5080 only has 16gb vram...
people use the phrase 'the new normal' a lot but looks like this time it actually is
>>109134116kinda feel like a chad with my humble 6950xt. Yes, it's lacking compute units because AMD doesn't believe local should be allowed to compute. but I can load any gayme the 5080 can, which is crazy to think about.
>>109134000Is inca kola any good?
>>109133983Because new = good and old = bad
>Ai is a bubble, memory prices will go back down so-ACKKK
>>109134029>>109134013stop doing better advertisement for them than they ever could
>>109134198>crash korea's stock marketso, are prices coming do----.----own...
>Jensen loves games but never, ever, make one.Could you imagine being a billionaire with ai assets and not spinning any off to make a game?
I am on a GTX 1070 from my brother, which is an upgrade from my GTX 1060. I started thinking about upgrading around the time the 7800X3D came out. I want the RDNA 5 flagship. I want my crown jewel. I'm willing to pay $2k for it, maybe $3k - and then fucking off again for another decade. I will never buy Nvidia. I would rather wait for Taiwan to be conquered by China so they can make Chinese GPUs before I buy Nvidia.
>>109134271AMD is intentionally refusing to provide a spicy compute option for local.It's intentional. Their power is capable, they can deny local the ability to perform compute. And they do.We simply aren't allowed to have compute-rich options at consumer price points.They are treating compute like it's nuclear fuel.
>>109134271So you've been using a reliable Nvidia GPU for a decade, but you hate Nvidia?
>>109134290The PRACTICES of nvidia are enough, my dear indian. Also, shouldn't you sweep the dirt?
>>109134299I'm not the hypocrite grandstanding here , while still using a nvidia product. In terms of browness I can't hold a candle to you, lol.
when will 5060ti drop to $250
>>109134290Kill Nvidia. Behead Nvidia. Roundhouse kick Nvidia into Shanghai. Slam dunk Nvidia into the Yellow River. Crucify Nvidia. Defecate into Nvidia's data centers. Does that answer your question?
holy cow what a bargain!
>>109134381this will be a collectors item worth lots of money. compare the prices of 5800x3d online with box and without box.
>>109134260he helped make unreal engine 3 back when it was still UDK.
>>109134414it was not part of their blood / it came to them very late / with long arrears to make good / when the gamer began to hate.
>>109134193That can’t be the real reason, right?
>>109134466before or after every unreal engine 3 logo screen on pc was followed by nvidia. only on console it wasnt because of 360.
>>109133983for ai, it's not stupid, the 9070xt has way better support.
>>109133983You cany buy a 7900xtx anymore for starters. Used market is scam market like 4090 or 5080 you get a card with dead chiplet or missing all the vram entirely.
>>109134550can't*>>109134484It's discontinued
>>109134550>>109134558Really?But there aren’t even a new equivalent for it yet
>>109134000So it's easier to get computing equipment than it is a floor in the 3rd world? Truly remarkable!
>>1091346939070xt is its replacement. the core is stronger, the memory bus is weaker.
>>109134693If they made a 384-bit bus RDNA4 it would be $1000+
