VRAM literally doesnt matter
The games I play don't consume more than 2.5GB VRAM, so I'm good.

>>730589954
I have a 3080 and I have yet to see a single game worth playing that requires anything more than that
Imagine buying a modern card at full price when in a few years it will be obsolete and discounted
>>730590395>just wait 5 more years bro!yeah right. I already waited 8 years for the GPU market to get better and it hasn't. It actually got worse.
>>730589330>GTX 850m >4 GB
>>730589330just installed my 5090 yesterdayIt's been running making AI vids for almost 24 hours now
>>730589954spoken like a true american geg
I'm currently shopping too. Only bother once every several years or soI keep being thrown off by how misleading the numbers are. Like a 5060 isn't necessarily better than a 4080 even though its a thousand higher
>>730589330>3090ti 24GB VRAM>64GB RAMI barely even use it for games anymore anyway, just video editing, VR, and making AI porn videos.
>>730589761your definition of "everything you throw at it" is consciously or subconsciously limited by you not daring to even try newer games on it
>>730590443If we're going to act like we're the PC Masterrace then we need to stop acting like console fags who bought FFVII remake on PS4 and will buy each 'episode', at full price, when the full game will be released, for the same price as each previous individual installment, with additional features, fixes, dlc, and on modern systems, in the future.

>>730590725What is your point here exactly?If you want to stick to PC gaming, you have little choice but to buy the best you can currently afford. Moore's law no longer applies and other external factors mean that many components (including graphics cards) are far more expensive while rarely dropping in price. Even GPUs 2 generations old are still close to their full retail price. Your options are to either drop PC gaming, stick to an old rig, or suck up the shit prices and buy before it gets even worse.
>>730589986Anon, people are moving to 1440p, nobody sane still games at 1080p, sorry man.>>7305900582160p isn't as much of a meme as you think, DLSSP @ 2160p literally looks better than 1440p & 1080p native and you can pretty much throw any game with a 3080ti+ and it will run perfectly.
>RTX 3060>12GB
what AAA games is there to look forward to?Gta6 isnt coming to pc for years
5060 8gb or 3060 12gb, which one is better for AI slop?

>>730591296making pictures or text generation ? for text either are fine because all local models are mediocre by default, the only one worth a shit are online.for pictures it all depend what you want to do but if you just want to make a shit or two and have a wank then your 3060 is more than enough and make them in sub 2k resolution

>>730590943I can go to any parts site right now and find cards and pre-builts with older cards that are a few years old that are cheaper than the latest releases. Are you one of those people who lines up to get the latest iphone every year that's ever so slightly 'better' than the one the year previous just to say you've got the latest iphone?
>>730591491Yeah for images, I'm buckling up for nioh 3 running like shit but also want to make AI slop, my current card is a 1650
>>730591675>pre-builts with older cards that are a few years old that are cheaper than the latest releasesShow me
Don't question just consume product and get excited for next product
I still have to replace the 1070 I got for GTA5Right now its a toss up between a budget bump to a 3060 or splurge to a 5060, so even if I go cheap I should still be looking at a respectable improvement

>>730591801Two problems>you did not show a cheaper comparable graphics card that someone could buy right now>newegg is only viable in US and Canada, what about the rest of the world?I mean for fuck's sake on that newegg link there's a RTX 5060 7500F for $1500, even taking into account this is leafbux that is not a good deal whatsoever for a low-mid build. PC prices are a joke.
>6700XT 12gb.Part of me wants to go balls out and build myself a new rig, but I think I'll be alright for now considering I barely play modern UE5 games anyways.
>>730589726Lol, how the tables have turned
>>730591801I wish Newegg shipped to my country.
>4080>32 gigiesthey laughed at me for buying overpriced shit, now I laugh at them cause it was the last moment to buy good tech for a price that is not an absolute rip off
>5080>16 GB
>>730592151>good techanon, I...
>>730591950I never said prices were affordable, just that older cards remain cheaper than the latest ones, just like always.
>>730591893>5060Ti >not at least 5070You dun goofed.
>>730592280and you haven't demonstrated that whatsoever, you just linked to newegg for some reason. They don't even sell older cards outside of 30 series cards for really bad prices too, or are you honestly suggesting people should buy a 3050?
>>730592409Well why don't you show me wherever you get your parts from, where older cards are the same price as the latest release?
>>730592280>>730592409>>730592505Fuck I'm even looking at their offerings now on newegg canada, they're selling some 4060ti's for the SAME PRICE as the 5070. What sense does that make?Did you even bother to look at newegg yourself before linking to it as a good recommendation?This is the exact kind of shit I'm talking about. Older gen cards aren't discounted properly; the market is fucked.
>>730592315Retards buy the 5060ti 16GB over the 5070 because they think that the 2x worse VRAM of the 5060ti will magically last them longer than the 5070.
>>730592761That's literally what happened though.>panic boughtI went cross eyed and clicked buy.
>>730592761Maybe he also uses local AI and he needed cost-effective VRAM
>>730592761It would be not as bad if 5060Ti 16GB wasn't so overpriced.5070 is only $100 more but you get ~30% better performance.
>>730592727Would that not then imply that the newer card is underpriced?
>>7305922244xxx series was the last good gen that Nvidia did, it's only negatives being price (at the time) and the fact that the cards were fucking HUGE (at the time)5xxx series is rubbish
>>730593176No, they're both overpriced, but that 4060ti price is taking the piss.
The only things that I play that need GPUs are the Final Fantasy series and E33, and probably some Dota2.I just can't keep up with the economics of gaming. Arguably the time wasted. is worth way more than the money spent.
>>730593219With both cards at the same price obviously no one is going to buy the older one, and the amount of reviews seem to bear that out. Eventually they'll have to do something to get rid of that back stock of older cards, which means reducing prices. They could raise the price on the newer card and they would probably still sell.
I managed to buy a 3080 at MSRP and build a pc during covid, now in the Ai slop era, I've accepted that I'll never upgrade, not that there's much reason to. Literally nothing worth playing comes out that requires anything more than that.
>2070 super
Does anyone know if Powerspec prebuilds are any good? Microcenter has one with a 9070xt, 7800x3d and 32gb ddr5 ram for $1,700 and I'm half tempted to just get one.
>>730593370>Eventually they'll have to do something to get rid of that back stock of older cards, which means reducing pricesHa haHa hahahahahaI don't think you are aware that this is how the market has been for the last 5 years. They will not sell those 40-series cards any cheaper. There's a reason they still sell the 30-series cards too (barely below MSRP at that), I think you have been living under a rock anon.

>>730593241I fully agree with this, a game has to be pretty high quality to justify wasting multiple hours on it.
>980 ti
>>730593478So they're encouraging people to just buy the newer card by selling it at the same price as one that's a couple years old - does that mean the newer card isn't worthy any more than the older one? Because if it was better, they could justify charging more for it and make more money.
>>730593540Did notice the 9060 is significantly cheaper than the 5060 while supposedly being its competitor
>>730593757>does that mean the newer card isn't worthy any more than the older one? Because if it was better, they could justify charging more for it and make more money.I am pretty damn sure a 5070 blows the 4060ti out the water, and yet newegg is charging just as much for 4060ti's as it is for 5070's in their available stock >>730592727I'm not an economist, so I can't explain why this is happening, but the fact is that older-gen cards are holding their value and basically never depreciate. Even in the used market, good offers are rare. Welcome to PC gaming.
>RTX 3060 12GB
>>730593970>I am pretty damn sure a 5070 blows the 4060ti out the water, and yet newegg is charging just as much for 4060ti's as it is for 5070's in their available stockExactly. They could easily charge more for the 5070 and people would buy it because it's better than the 4060ti. So they're actually offering a superior product for the same price as an inferior one. This makes no sense, economically.
>>730594249I think in all liklihood, multiple retailers (including newegg) are practicing price fixing on GPUs. It's the only logical explanation I can think of.

>>730601124It was an upgrade from an RX480 that died on me. Just decided to get something decent as a replacement, and there's obviously a big improvement. But yeah the stutters can get annoying.
>>730600927nta but I upgraded from 1080p/60fps a couple years ago and I thought the jump from 1080p to 1440p was much bigger than from 60fps to 120+ fps. The difference is there but not that big and I can easily go back to 60fps if I have to, it's not anywhere close to as bad as going from 60 to 30. 60fps is unironically all you need unless you play competitive games, anything higher is just a nice bonus. Meanwhile, I could never go back to blurry ass 1080p.
