The RTX 5090 now costs EUR 1,830

Hey, that's really cheap! Did the RAM shortage somehow stop when I wasn't looking?

more than it did a month ago

Oh.

This is just stupid. Its encroaching on the price of half a car. I mean i love games but that is actually insane. They arent expectng to sell any of those cards right?

€7.7k, holy fuck

I bought an RX 6650 XT some years ago, fully intending it to be a cheap temporary card until I could afford something high-end...

I don't know if I should be upset I didn't just buy a more expensive card, or happy I'm no longer stuck with a 970. Regardless of how I feel, I'm going to be using this thing for the next decade at this rate.

What are computer adjacent hobbies that don‘t need a computer? Reading? Guess I will be reading lots of fiction soon. That is unless the government closes libraries in their cost cutting spree after making generous gifts to corporations who probably invested it all in AI. Oh well.

I read it as it's 1,830 euros and thought: damn, that's expensive

My 1660 super is going to be doing the heavy lifting for another decade...

At least game studios will optimize for lower-end hardware

Just saw one on Amazon for 11,500 USD

Everything's just a speculation object now.

I want to get off Mr bones wild ride!

Even on release the 5090 cost more than my whole PC... and my PC literally had the highest end version of every other consumer grade component and a 9070XT (so highest end non-nvidia GPU). Point is it was always overpriced, a single component should not cost more than an entire rig.

Hey, better than dealing Bitcoin!

My ~£700 4070ti s purchase from a couple years ago doesn't feel so insane anymore. Glad I didn't wait. Especially when the 32gb of ram was about 100.

Idgaf, I have a 970 in a drawer and I'm not afraid to use it.

NGL you couldn't pay me to use the newer models after the 30 series. First of all, I don't touch anything developed with or alongside AI. Secondly I have heard the new power cables are fire hazards only rated for a dozen plugs and unplugs.

Yes, anyone trying to run local LLM niw, let alone game, is way behind.

I’m really concerned that the future is subscriptions because high end hardware is rare for plebs

If you see someone hacking AI vendors or their suppliers: No you don't.
