Or stop paying the company that's pushing all this BS.

    Linux life is easier with AMD anyway. My RX 6800 was cheaper than equivalent Nvidia performance card and has never caused problems in my insane distro hopping or gaming.

    AMD is fully onboard the AI bubble as well though. Just with less money since they own a smaller part of the market than NVIDIA.

    It is a sad fact that unless you buy used, there is no way around supporting an AI company when buying gpu.

    My 1080 Ti still runs pretty much every game out there, granted it's only 1920x1080. You'll be fine, as long you don't care about ray tracing or have a 4K monitor or chase high FPS

    I don't think many 3060 owners will ever get a 5090 to sell you their old ones. Sorry.

    I don't mind it sometimes, given that more content in the Fediverse is needed in a lot of communities. And I hate reddit enough that I never visit the site, so I don't know what was reposted here or what's OC.

    No joke, 90% of content here (lemmy) is reddit reposts, and it has been so for a while.

    If you factor in inflation, I can find a 5060 for about 30% more than I got a 1060 for when that was new. You will get far more than a 30% boost in performance.

    *laughs in AMD

    (I know they're not that much better but they're so much more well supported in Linux it's absurd. NVIDIA only started getting more support that was focused on AI, which is cool and all, local AI is all right, but no very useful in everyday context.)

    I switched from Nvidia and Intel to Amd Amd for my newer PC. Couldn't be happier. No issues. Better prices too.

    AMD has software for both its processors and gpus. So nothing to trade off as far as I can tell.

    Latest rumor is that NVIDIA is making too much with AI cards. They won't release a new consumer line for a couple more years.

    It isn't worth spending any waffers on the high end nodes for chips that offer such relatively low margins.

    Still on a 1060. Refusing to upgrade until GPU prices return to reality.

    Me too. I'll just wait.

    There's a whole backlog of old games anyway between Steam and straight out piracy. There are so many old games that a life wouldn't be enough to play them all.

    So like.... never.

    Still sitting on my 1070. Can't upgrade unless I upgrade the whole PC, so I'm stuck forever.

    I'm happy enough with a Legion Go for little games and my PS5 for big games.

    I think the consoles having weak RT has meant the 10x0 series having a longer than usual lifespan, since they still have to write games for traditional lighting models.

    I just bought a 5060ti because I don't think they are going to.

    Not for a long time, at least. And my old 1660 super still has some life in it...I'll hand it down to my kid (I was gonna give him a rx570...).

  • The 4090 has appreciated in value in spite of the 5090 and it's own flammability

    I bought a RTX 3060 12gb a few weeks ago from OfferUp for $200. Sweet deal.
