Spent two hours angling for a 5800 xt from AMD this morning and nada, again. Day 90+.
These card prices are mind boggling. My old 1060's cost more now than when I bought them 5+ years ago.
I only want to upgrade for the ray tracing but I might just have to wait till spring to buy something at my price point.
I live in constant fear of my GPU breaking.
Ray tracing is at best kind of ok, though. Now DLSS, that shit is actual magic.
I'm hoping the new Intel GPUs being released early next year lower prices.
Intel has their own fabs, so prices will come down for low to mid range cards at least.
The question is how much for higher end.
I think Intel is actually getting chips from TSMC for this first run of their GPU line, Intel fabs aren't even at 7nm yet to be making GPUs
Still running a GTX 1070 and if it dies I'll probably just replace it with another 1070 or maybe a 1080ti. The RTX 3070 is theoretically a good card but damned if I'm paying 2x MSRP just to get some frame boosts.
Problem is even the prices of the 1070 and 1080ti are insane. I have the latter and it costs much more right now than when I bought it years ago.
My graphics card is slowly dying, and I'm gradually running out of games and stuff that will work on it (VRAM slowly going and providing more blue screens). :(
Try lowering memory clock speeds using MSI Afterburner and see if it runs
I just want to train machine learning models. Everyone please go play outside for the next year.
Heads up: If you happen to also need a whole new computer, you will pay retail for the graphics card if you buy a whole computer pre-built.
GTX 750TI gang checking in 💪💪
I've got some money coming in soonish that I'll be able to go fairly ham on a new desktop build. But holy hell, the hoops I'm looking at what you have to jump through to get a card at any price point.
how about a laptop, i think rn laptops are a better deal than buying overpriced desktop gpus
Im gonna assume 6800xt as there isnt a 5800xt. But it took my about 5 months to finally find a gpu (went from rx 590 to a 3070ti) as the prices were roughly the same after selling my card and getting the mrsp of the 3070ti.
$100 chromebooks anyone? I’m basically running a tablet with a keyboard glued on top
Will I be able to find something reasonably priced that's markedly better than my laptop's MX150?
Yeah, it can do the new Xfire too.
Ah I forgot they went to 6xxx. Have not had an AMD card in years.
Since no one else mentioned it, I feel like I should let you know that at this point, if you're looking for ray tracing, you should not go Radeon. Even on the highest end, the performance hit they take is so substantial for it that I have a hard time thinking it would be worth the money.
