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

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
Honestly my regular 1080 only has trouble with a handful of really demanding games if I'm not too proud to bump down some settings. It's put in over 1k hours in cyberpunk, so not bad
These don't have ray tracing and dlss and some games won't run anymore.
This was the reason I switched from my 1060 to a completely new system.
1920x1080 is kind of ok for gaming, but it's rough for anything else.
4090 = 430W
5090 = 575W
6090 =?
Almost, correct answer is 720
I don't think many 3060 owners will ever get a 5090 to sell you their old ones. Sorry.
Maybe not directly. 5080 owner upgrades to 6090, 3060 owner buys the cheaper 5080 as a pretty nice upgrade and sells off their 3060.
I have 3080ti and I'm glad I bought it; it's likely the last graphics card I'll have. I had a 1060 on a laptop before.
The human centipede of graphics cards
got a 3060 laptop from costco for £600. just after the bitcoin crash of early 2020s.
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.
Fr, how anyone still pays extra for Nvidia's bullshit is crazy to me.
How's the local LLM support on Linux with AMD?
(Yes I could google, but I think people here would give more realistic answers at a more reasonable tech skill level)
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 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.
