An RTX 6090 ($3500 MSRP)Intel Nova Lake Core Ultra 9 4970k ($1500)96GB GDDR5 RAM ($1800)This is my savings goal for 2027, is it realistic? I could go up by about $2000 total but it'd make things rough for me
>>110297776Not realistic because you still need an SSD ($500 for 2TB primary, $1000 for 4TB secondary for GTAIV and all its DLCs).And don't forget the $1000 Asus ProArt Z990X AI motherboard either.
>>110297776>RTX 6090>$3500 MSRPThat's a little optimistic, don't you think?
>>1102977942TB ssd will be about $1500 by the time the 6090 is out.
>>110297796Really? But the 5090 was $1999 on launch.>>110297794Oh, I have everything else. But thanks for the Motherboard recommendation. Is DDR6 a thing yet? Should I futureproof for that?>>110297801good thing I have a 4TB and a 2TB M.2 drives
>>110297796The optimistic part is that he thinks his current PSU will be able to support a RTX 6090. It will either require two 12VHPWR connectors meaning you need a 3000W PSU, or it may even use an entirely new connector forcing you to buy a new power supply anyway (adapters will make the cables burn up, so will nvidia say).
>>110297807I have a 1200 watt platinum that should be enough. Even an RTX 6000 blackwell only draws like 390.
>>110297776>$3500 MSRPThat's the bot price. You will pay $7500+
>>110297803I bought a spare Samsung 990 Pro 4TB nvme drive becaues why not. This was before the AI bubble took off. Paid about $400 for it with taxes and shipping and now its over $1200 and this is before HBF will do to FLASH what HBM did to DRAM.
>>110297809>I have a 1200 watt platinum that should be enough.That's not even enough for a RTX 5090 + 9950x3d. You'd be pushing it to 80% load all the time. You need a PSU that sits at 50% when you push your system to the limit, because that's where it is the most efficient.You NEED to get a new PSU, at least 2000W, but possibly more depending. RTX 6090 will also definitely use a new connector that will push upwards 1000W (using the same AWG as the 12VHPWR, probably).
>>110297776>Intel Nova Lake Core Ultra 9 4970kGet a board that supports that LGA 1954 socket and the cheapest chip. And buy less RAM.You may never need to upgrade, and when you do, prices will be much lower.I have done this for thirty plus years. Usually max out the RAM eventually. Only once did I upgrade a processor before the entire rig was obsolete.
bold of you to think that there will be GPUs sold to consumers anymore and not entirely to datacenter overlords
>>110297776why would nvidia ever make another generation of consumer gpus?
>>110297852>>110297884Because silicon that are suitable for something like the 5060 and 5070 aren't suitable for AI slop shit.
>>110297914they'll just make AI GPUs and then bin the broken ones for consumers. basically sell us trash and we'll thank them for it
>>110297852The home computer is going to make a huge comeback. Going to be so much IOT data to process that it has to be done client side. ISP Pipes aren't going to be big or fast enough.
>>110297816Smart, I did this too, but it was for an old PC build>>110297832Really? I'm surprised. Well I can always get something new. This was for my current build.>>110297843That's smart I guess>>110297914this
>>110297914they said the same thing about ASICs and crypto-centric GPUsit's just this time they can IPO off it
>>110297925Yes, that dynamic is exactly what's been happening forever. Silicon wafers are printed on en masse and they will end up with a perfection grade that cannot be controlled. It's always been the case that the "broken ones" are used on xx60s and xx70s. If you consider the GPU lines that the vast majority of people buy anyway as "trash", then the consumer is getting trash I guess.
So should I up my plans to about $10-12k then I guess?
>>110297977Just save up 20k and buy Alienware
>>110297953Overclockers know chips are very often structurally identical but sold as completely different tiers of performance based on their thermal and electrical qualities. This concept is fundamental to the semiconductor industry and is managed primarily through a process known as silicon binning.When manufacturers print microchips onto silicon wafers, microscopic manufacturing variations inevitably occur across the wafer. Even though two chips are printed using the exact same design and architecture, one chip might handle heat and electrical voltage much more efficiently than the identical chip right next to it
>>110297776Get 32GB, Sam Altman needs the RAM more than you
>>110297776>$3500 MSRP>MSRPyou fucking IDIOT
>>110297776why piss all that into an ATX case for so little. when you could get a 1599$ PC that would probably not be the heat and power melty spaceheater you are designing and a dual xeon server with SXM and SAS RAID and a used A100?
>>110297776you will never be able to afford a gpu again
>>110298349The bubble will pop sooner or later.
>>110297796for 16g vram?
>>110297852AI companies don't make money. They can't keep buying hardware forever. The bubble will pop and the hardware will go back to consumers.
