And yet when I'm looking into potential cards I could upgrade to, eyeing a range between 4060ti and lower 50XX series I see nothing but shit like "this GPU will be a brick in 2 years xD!!" GPUs that can effortlessly play any game that exists right now on the highest settings in 1440p. And yet unlike with my 1060, I'd now have the following options available:
>DLSS
>framegen
In addition to the usual
>lowering settings
>lower res textures if vram is cucking me
>if it gets really bad, going from 1440p to 1080p
How could I not get at least 5 solid years from a 4060ti or similar
Like am I delusional or just coping?

Are the people saying "X card won't play games in 2 years" using the word "play" to mean "60+ fps in AAA games at ultra settings in native 4k" or what am I missing
Its so hard to get a real read on what I want/need because I feel like I'm just being gaslit by techtubers and whoever the people posting on these discussions and forums I'm reading.

is buying a 5800x3d for $350 a good idea or should i wait for amd to rerelease 3d am4 chips or ram prices to go down?

>>108236320
If alls your getting is the cpu and you really need the upgrade, then I'd say go for it. Waiting for those new am4 cpus or any significant price drop is a fools errand.

>>108236320
they'll probably only bother re-releasing the 5700x3d and slower x3ds so you should buy a 5800x3d now if you want one
just beware that am4 cpus are more prone to physical damage by retards since its PGA and it tends to stick to the cooler upon removal. the one I bought (and refunded) has serious cuts and grooves in the substrate since it was handled by a careless person

>>108236543

>>108236247
Too many people live under the delusion that gaming is, was, and forever will be like the 2005-2013 era, where a 2500k, 750ti, and 250gb hard drive COULD run every game (minus outliers like crysis and arma) at 1080poverty high 60+fps, and feel entitled to that outcome even now. Ironically, there's a doublespeak going on where the same people on 1080poverty think 4k (still a meme res) is something they should be able to run at high speeds, while ignoring the actually viable resolution upgrade of 1440p.
Negativity also generates more engagement, so anything that makes money off page hits and ads will focus on that.

The main difference now, however, is raytracing is becoming more and more normalized just like every other tech out there, to the point there are multiple games that mandate raytracing be enabled with no obsolete lighting method available. That makes it a little harder for a budget card to last a long time, since you can't turn it off entirely, but they have modes that let consoles run raytracing so it can't be that terrible.

>>108235641

>>108236682
>sperging
Self-reporting? I only mentioned raytracing in the vein of an increasing number of games requiring it, which has an impact on the longevity of gpus in terms of when they become obsolete. Eventually raytracing will be the default in all games, not just doom eternal and borderlands 4. It's a factual statement relevant to the conversation. Games like Cyberpunk allow you to shut off raytracing, which makes it easier to keep an older gpu in the realm of being able to run it, by comparison.

If you can't read and need to sperg out emotionally over hallucinations, go do it on /v/.

raytracing is just crutch for developers who don't want to be bothered finding a solution to lighting their games.

given that fact i expect games to simply use whatever choice they have for the least taxing raytracing option they can for the foreseeable future.

Why is armory crate so shit? I got a new ASUS mouse and had to install Armory Crate to control the RGB and to control DPI settings. And then loaded up a game I have been playing for 3 months. I got stutters 3 times in a match when I had never gotten any stutters in that game before. Oh and my DVD drive has been acting in a weird way that it has never done in the past 3 years.

I'm very close to just returning this mouse because of this shit.

I need legitimate advice here. My wife and I are coming into some money from the army FINALLY paying out my injuries 20 years post-medical discharge, and she knows jack shit about computers so I'm going to ninja-build myself a new system, as if she knew I was spending money on "another" computer (I built my last one 5 years ago) I'd get the usual "we need to invest that money! Think of our future!". I never spend anything on myself, so I need some advice on the GPU.

Basically, I'm torn between just getting a 5080, or going all out on a 5090 32GB variant so I can local gen insane AI porn videos. Would a 5080 be good enough to do that shit, or do I really -need- a 5090 for it?

I mostly just play strategy, 4X, and autism-tier Russian isometric RPGs, so I don't give a shit about gaming anymore, I just want to be able to make 720p 20 second videos of Angelina Jolie getting blasted in the face that doesn't take 20 hours to render.

If the 5080 is capable of doing it anyway, but it just takes slightly longer, I don't mind, as I obviously wouldn't mind saving on the GPU so I can refurbish my garaged Skyline.

Kinda wish I got that ifixit kit for ten bucks, but got the 8tb seagate external I was after so it's all good.

>>108237277
I have a feeling one of those ai generating related generals would give you better answers. Assuming they're willing to answer.
As far as I know, you would want something like the 5090 and it's 32gb for LLMs, but it still might be a case of "it just takes longer" or whatever you said with the rest. Sounds like you don't want LLMs though, so can't help much there.

>>108237519
It can't be max settings because path tracing is literally Nvidia exclusive for RE9 and forces DLSS. AMD Cards are locked out of path tracing entirely they cannot even enable it.

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/resident-evil-requiem-performance-benchmark/

>Ray Tracing has the following levels "off," "normal," "high" and "Path Tracing." When you enable path tracing, you'll be forced to enable DLSS upscaling (DLAA is still possible, but ends up capped at 60 FPS due to a bug).

MAX settings means nothing

Making memory chips is supremely profitable; operating margins for so-called Dram (Dynamic random-access memory) chips now beat the 50-60 per cent available on HBM last year, but no chipmaker is rushing to revert. Hyperscalers’ demand is voracious and enduring, and contracting to fulfil three years’ requirements at a fixed cost is more attractive than taking a punt on 2028 Dram prices.

It's so fucking frustrating. In all of this the price of HBM hasn't skyrocketed at all, only DRAM has. The AI DCs are not paying more for HBM maybe 10%-20%, nothing like the 200%-500% price increases on DRAM and anyone and anything that needs DRAM is paying these extreme prices. And HBM is way more expensive to make.

9070 XT is a higher tier card than the regular 5070

Because people are willing to pay more for GeForce cards.

Not a problem at the 1440p resolution it's marketed to be used in.

Your irrelevant opinion.
In reality, the 5070 is one of the best selling cards of this generation.

>>108238260

I wanna buy a new PC but every time I make an online transaction my debit card gets frozen. Not declined, FROZEN. I have thousands in the bank. There's no reason this should be happening.

My card isn't frozen currently but I'm afraid to attempt an online transaction because I will have to go to my bank in-person to get my card unfrozen. And I really don't want to do that. But I'm also too lazy to get my card fixed.

My point is though that I spend tonnes of money on my computer myself, and none of my family would ever say it's a worthwhile purchase, they'd say I could have used that money to save for retirement, or a holiday, or something that would be much more enjoyable.

And I just choose to not go along with it, I say nah, actually, I want my PC right now, I don't care what you have to say, if you really did care you'd have gone on holiday with me years and years ago, you really start to pick through the weeds of a relationship when people always come at you with strong words and warnings, like just get off of my back.

It's heavily dependent on the game and honestly having the biggest performance gap on such a dogshit game is kind of unconsequential.
The 5090 remains a huge disappointment and the 25-30% definitely holds true. The only big jump to be found is on VR.

>>108237566
except it's 35% better and costs far more than 4090 costed at launch
the entire 50 series was a joke, all cards are too expensive for the % improvement over 40 series, potentially the worst nvidia series in a long time
depending on the node they'll be making the 60 series a lot of people will have buyers remorse

>>108239154
Try to un-ESL yourself (if you can) before you post your garbage.

>>108239154
nobody bought the 40 series and most people with a 4090 sold it and bought a 5090 as soon as they could and it was a wise decision as the 5090 has only increased in value and performance massively compared to it.

>>108239169
I accept your concession

>>108239180
The 40 series was a lot less bad overall than the 50 series though. Selling a card is also pretty risky unless you can sell in person, a lot of people wouldn't care about a 25% increase for 25% more power draw with an even higher risk of burning down your house.
>increase in value and performance massively
Not really, the performance increase remains middling across the vast majority of non VR games and you can still sell your 4090 for a profit more than three years after its release. Sure the 5090 sells for 1k above MSRP but by the time the 6090 rolls out it'll have drastically fallen off. This only matters for hoarding scalpers with tons of 5090 on hand.

>>108239252
all well and good but nobody said this when 40 series launched and nobody bought any of the cards except for the 4090 and the value aspect matters a lot since buying the XX90 and selling it is the only way to guarantee a basically free upgrade. The 4090 was still selling for above MSRP when the 5090 launched. The 5090 hasn't dropped in price even once.

Keep your third world opinions to yourself. Imagine crying about RTX 50 cards in 2026, these are the most in-demand card as of today.
They're objectively better than their RTX 40 equivalents, and their FP4 hardware improves new feature support.

>>108239290
It's easy to have any online platform side with the buyer, they can claim it's defective, fuck it up, ask for refunds, it can be lost in transit and so on
It holds true for a lot of high value products sold over the internet but hardware attracts the worst kind of niggers because videogames aren't exactly high brow

>>108239302
The 5090 did drop in price. It never went under msrp but its price kept increasing until around June of last year then it decreased for a few months and it exploded again with the RAM price increase.

Got a set of Lian Li fans.
They aight.

The 5XXX are indeed better than the previous gen but it's been that way for every single GPU generation. it's simply an extremely lackluster and disappointing upgrade that's paired with a never-seen-before price inflation.

>>108239341
>The 5XXX are indeed better than the previous gen but it's been that way for every single GPU generation.
Not for Radeon, no reason for NVIDIA go all out when Radeon's getting themselves sorted out.

>that's paired with a never-seen-before price inflation.
Brain rot. The 5070, 5070 Ti, and 5080 all have reduced MSRPs from their RTX 40 counterparts.
The 2080 Ti ($1000) to 3090 ($1500) has had a larger "price inflation" compared to the 4090 to 5090.

50 series can't even do path tracing on black myth wukong, a 2023 game, if the 60 series comes out with improved ray tracing at the same level that rdna5 rumors say it'll have for team red (6 times better ray trace over rdna4), 50 series will be the biggest waste of money since buying bitcoin at 120k because donald drumpf told you to

>>108239319
>It's easy to have any online platform side with the buyer
plot twist. consoomer protection laws dont protect you when buying from not-buisenesses.
Its simple. the item is sold as "used" with a disclaimer (important) "no no warranty claims, no return, bought as seen"
Then the item gets shipped with tracked, insured shipping.
The buyer transfers money to the platform, you ship it and the moment the shipment company flags it as delivered you receive your cash. For fresh sellers it may not be instaneos on the first transaction.
>they can claim it's defective, fuck it up, ask for refunds
they can but its like yelling at clouds

>>108239377
>same level that rdna5 rumors say it'll have for team red (6 times better ray trace over rdna4
Mental illness confirmed.
Radeon of all chip designers aren't going to spend all that die area to improve RT performance.

>>108239368
I'm not talking about MSRPs, I'm talking about market prices, what the vast majority of consumers are led to pay.
MSRPs only matter for FEs and most of them are sold out on day one above the XX60 class.

>>108239377
What do you mean?
A 5080 gets like 120fps+ at 4K with PT on Wukong, if you use the whole card.

Don't know where you're selling a lot of second hand platforms require the customer to testify that the product is true to the listing's descriptiion. If the customer doesn't say it's okay, you either have to wait until it's validated automatically or you're fucked because he said there was an issue. If it's a buyer with zero review you're fine but otherwise you're in for hell.
Not to mention chargebacks.
And the shipping itself is another risk.

>>108239398
The market demand for the 5090 with 32GB of GDDR7 memory outstripped available supply.
Blame Radeon for not releasing any alternative to the 5090.
The rest of the cards were available at MSRP for a significant period last year as well.
It's not NVIDIA's fault some Radeon card owners started to panic purchase RTX 50 cards because they didn't want to own a Radeon card however long this VRAM shorage lasts.

CUDA is just fancy marketing for their shader units. A shader unit is different between all gpu makers. Iphone gpu shaders are different from Snapdragon or Samsung Exynos for example.

>16gb vram is not enough for ai video, only image
this is bullshit btw.
16gb is the minimum for basic ai video(you could theoretically do it with 12gb if you are very patient). However anything more advanced/the better models need +16GB.
IF you LOVE loops for whatever fucking reason, you are set.

NVIDIA WON

CAN'T WAIT FOR GEFORCE RUBIN GPUS

>how come other companies just can't copy it?
copyright lololol

>>108239893
never seen an ai video model that doesnt need at least 24gb

>>108239759
PCIe GPU market supply is out of NVIDIA's hands because VRAM suppliers are bottlenecking production.

NTA but I'm running WAN2.2 on my 16GB card just fine. Takes around 10 minutes for a 6s video though.

>>108239901
Go to the ai thread in red boards(hey hiro where are dem sfw ads uh piece of gook shit) dudes with 12gb cards sometimes post.
Just ask.

alright, i'll clean it up. fuck that's so worrying. i guess it was just in a humid place in storage before i bought it? but fucking how it was fully sealed with all the transparent things you have to peel too. at least the humidity where i am now is 24 so i guess it should be fine?

NVIDIA invested the most into building a general purpose/compute GPU ecosystem with CUDA when everyone else thought it was a fruitless endeavor.
They were practically giving away GPUs to research institutions to build the market.
This wasn't a popular business decision at NVIDIA, I think one of the founders cashed out in the 2010s because of this & profitless AI.

RAM prices have to come down
this cannot continue

Was there an adhesive sticker covering the power port? That's what it looks like to me. Got dusty over time but was sticky. Can you confirm?

>coil whine
return that shit bro, you're going to hate using this thing.

is this a good deal or is there something terribly wrong with KingSpec ssds

No DRAM

this may be a more effective solution, albeit partially since it won't be dampened on the outside and the plastic will bulge anyway

i scraped it with my fingernail and a bunch came off, maybe you're right
>>108239964
i fucking DO okay i have sensitive ears, but that doesn't matter. my chinese coworker got this for me when he was visiting his family, he's not going back just to return it. the pact is sealed the deed is done i just have to cope with it now

literally tsmc transistors but packaged differently.
same as intel and amd are the same x86 tsmc shit now but packaged differently.

it would be fucking funny if his gpu dies.

hey fuck you buddy

>>108240032
should have used wet alcohol wipes, nasty motherfucker

>>108240045
no, because i assume corrosion wouldn't have come off as easily so i had to test it with my finger first, am i not being logical right now?
