An Nvidia RTX 5090 graphics card now costs more than $6000 canadian dollars.At release back in January 2025 the retail price was $2000 USD ($2700 canadian) plus tax.
>>540168527Dont worry the profit margins from from Zognalds shardholder buddies will soon trickle down back to you
>>54016852790s are rebranded titansIt's like buying a sports car as a daily driver you retard ofc it's overly expensive
>>540168527Based as fuck. Had no idea I’d be selling for a profit when I bought t. 32GB 5090, 9950x3d, 8TB SSD, 64GB DDR5
>>540168814For scraps
>>540168527i'm probably never gonna buy a gaming pc again. i snatched my 4090 for 1800eur in 2023. i'm just pissed off i didn't get another 32gigs of ram and another ssd.
>>540168527>bestbuynigga, you do be doing the thing again
>>5401685279070XT mogs all of this garbage lmao
>>540168895This. I'm content I have the computer I do, but I would have splurged had I known shit would get this crazy.
>>540168527Mine was £2400 and came with a 1200w PSU.
>>540168527imagine not having one already
>>540168527I have a 4080 and a 5090. Getting into PC gaming now might be the worst time in tech /price history. I gave my 1080ti to my sister after testing it on new games, and it could still do 1080p 30fps on brand new stuff like E33 and Elden Ring.
>>540168527>An Nvidia RTX 5090 graphics card now costs more than $6000 canadian dollars.So what sort of business do you run that relies on those? How many do you need to purchase in a year? Can't you just pass along the cost when you bill your clients?
>>540168997CNC monkey
>>540168961don't worry goys. jeff has us covered
>>540169043You need to get on the Amazon boat RIGHT NOW
>>540168527this shit used to be 4k euros the last time I checked
>>540169043This is coming sooner than anyone realizes. GeForce NOW already allows you to stream like you were running a 5080 on a potato. Looks to me like 6000-series could easily be the last generation of consumer GPUs. There’s an outside chance the 5000-series was the last. If that’s true, the 5090/6090 will become extremely valuable. The unfortunate thing is that the goyim really don’t care at all. If you “own” a 5080 and high end rig by streaming for 15 or 20 bucks a month, they’re on board.
>>540169043Leftists hate AI therefore AI is good, don't you get it.
>>540168527It has always been around double the RRP. Almost nobody got it for RRP.
Take me back when top of the line GPU's were 300-500 bucks. Fuck this gay timelline. I haven't built a gaming PC in a decade but I decided to look up the price here and its 8k.
>>540169310no its not. only third worlders will sign up to play 120ms input lag slop. all it's gonna do is introduce gaming casteism like the consoles did which didn't really work out in the long term because no one wants to feel like a handicapped goycattle who fell for some corporate scam
>>540169490Goyim literally do not care. Do you think they even know what input delay is? All that will register for them is “wow I can have high end graphics streamed to my shitty ass rig or smart tv.”
>>540169310lol no
You can make video on 8GB VRAM. Comfortably on 12-16GB. You don't have to spend $6000. More like $300.
>>540169360You can still get a 9070XT for 630 ameribux. Somewhere in between 5070Ti and 5080 performance
ok so? what game even requires one of those? you just play deus ex and runescape anyway.
>>540169043>he called it inefficientthere literally is no alternative, there is *zero* chance you get access to my secrets jeff, I don't trust you
>>540169490>120ms input lag slopAnd that's just the network lag. Most AAA slop has a 50-80ms input delay before the screen reacts.On a guitar anything above 15ms is noticeable and 40+ms is unplayable.>>540169360or when you could grab a decent budget card for ~150. Budget shit is ~400 now. 250+ for a last gen budget card
>>540169636300 buck cards don't have 16 vrams, only the cards that cost MORE than my car (GPU only)
>>540168945lol no it doesn't
>>540168527Honestly I love seeing gamers heads explode at the sight of their little toys getting expensive.Time to find a real hobby!
>>540169310There will always be local graphics rendering, it just won’t be for the masses. Culture always shifts to whatever the cheapest gimmick is. It will become a status symbol like owning a car or an iPhone.
>>540169939
>>540168895SSDs are still cheap enough to buythe prices will only rise further >>540169043you'll own nothing :)
GoodNo more video games for youTime to grow up and be a man!
>>540168527I got a 5070 for $470 bucks. Now they're close to $700. Glad I built my PC when I did. I only game in 1080p and always will so that'll do me fine.
>>540169043jeffie the problem the fucking AI bots also clogging up the fucking netbandwidth with their dogshit api calls which makes the fucking CaS idea also a dogshit
>>540169574>>540169490it's not just the input lag it's heavily compressed video
Just get a 5070Why would you need more?
>>540170018One day I hope AI is good enough to force gamers and NEETs to wash themselves
>>540170028keki wonder what the ratio will be to trade a RTX 5090 into groceries
>>540168527>canadian dollarswtf is that?
>>540169310only faggots would pay for this slopanyways this yen carry trade shit is going to destroy the world economy along with helping pop the AI ponzi scheme. Nvidia might not even survive and some chinese company will end up making cheap ass cards with the same tech in the near future. just have some patience OP. You can still do pretty much everything on a fucking 1080 since most cards after a 2080 are tiny improvements in comparison to what older generations looked like.
Im kicking myself for not buying a couple of RTX PRO 6000 gpus last year for 7000 each and selling for 15000 now
>>540170130Just for that I'm not wiping after my morning shit.
>>540170298Could have put the money in a koread etf and made way more

>>540169847Best picks around $300RTX 4060 Ti 16GB — the standout pick. Used listings on eBay are running around $270, well under budget, and new cards from Amazon/Newegg sit closer to $420+. You get the full 16GB, solid 1440p performance, and it's the best of this bunch for anything AI/local-LLM related thanks to CUDA support.Intel Arc B580 (12GB) — currently Newegg has discounted two Arc B580 cards to $289.99 with promo codes, making it the cheapest 12GB card sold new by a major US retailer. Used ones on eBay average right around $300 too. It's genuinely good value — it hits solid inference speeds on 7B-parameter local AI models at a fraction of the RTX price — but Intel's drivers are still less mature than Nvidia's/AMD's, especially for older DX11 games, and it works best on Linux for AI workloads. Compute MarketRTX 3060 12GB — the safe, boring choice. Used eBay prices are around $260, and it's been out long enough that driver support and used-market supply are both excellent. It's the oldest architecture of the bunch though, so raw performance trails the others.RX 6700 XT 12GB — used prices are all over the place (roughly $255–$360 depending on the listing/cooler), but the better deals land right in your range. Performance-wise it's a strong 1440p card, arguably punching above the 3060 and B580 in pure rasterization.

>>540168527>At release back in January 2025 the retail price was $2000 USD ($2700 canadian) plus tax.And $2000 was a laughable price. I'd never pay more than $500 for a graphics card.
>>540172174>GREENI built a flagship AIO Gigabyte 5090. Total price was roughly $8k usd. This was Q1 2025.>BLUEI built another gigabyte 5080 and the price tag was close to $5k usd. Also Q1 2025. The 10K computer is roughly 12.5k in component cost today. The 5K is roughly 6.5k today. Both systems have fifth generation SSDs, 96GB DDR five memory, AIO water coolers and cases. I typically do this every 8-10 years. I think I’m done after this. Compute is an increasing to the point where I care anymore.

>>540168527You can get a refurbished 3070 for less than 300 buckers. That is a high performance video card and can play everything at 3070. Raytracing is a gimmick, btw.

>>540171814Classic Chocolate Chip CookiesSoft-centered, crisp-edged cookies with deep caramel notes from brown sugarIngredients:2.3 cups all-purpose flour1 teaspoons baking soda1 teaspoons fine sea salt1 cups unsalted butter, softened0.8 cups granulated sugar0.8 cups packed brown sugar2 large eggs2 teaspoons vanilla extract2 cups semisweet chocolate chipsFor chewier cookies, use an extra egg yolk instead of a second whole egg. For crispier cookies, flatten the dough balls slightly before baking and skip the chilling step. Browning the butter first (then letting it cool to solid-ish before creaming) adds a nutty depth if you have extra time.This makes about 2 dozen cookies — crisp edges, soft centers, deep flavor from the mix of brown and white sugar. Chilling the dough for 30 min isn't required but it does make a noticeably better cookie if you have the time.

>>540168527Conservatives are better for the economy.OP is a disinfo shill. The cost of graphics cards have never been cheaper. In fact if commie Kamala was president you can bet they'd be even more expensive. Once A.I. takes off the economy is going to be doing so well, better than it already is, that you will easily be able to afford any graphics card you want. This is a temporary market disruption while the data centers are getting set up. Once construction is done prices will go back down to even lower levels.

how difficult would it be to start a company to compute machine learning data and get loaded with money
>>540184275I like keeping git repos, containers, images, vms, operating system backups, personal documents, pictures and videos locally. It has to factor bitrot which the FreeBSD version of TrueNas achieves. ZFS supports multiple ways to cache standard platter disks setups using older generation NvMEs for nice read / write performance. We’re talking line speed on 10GbE (1000MB/s) reads and writes for my datasets. With a 120GB system memory with a decent NvME handling your L2ARC/SLOG on a TrueNas node it keeps it 100% cache so old school HHDs scream. Point being it’s fast and cheap fir my labs. I don’t need to backup the internet.

Peak goyim things. I bought a 1080ti when it first came out for about £650-700 if i recall, it still works fine and modern gayming is retarded anyways so who cares about playing it. You are a peak goy if you pay for new GPUs.
