Certainly the most powerful GPU I've bought! I got mine 2 years ago for about $120, and it's been great for my docker containers!

Can't wait for yhem to push forced end of life on all computers

Will it Minecraft (with mods) is also the test I apply to every system I build or buy

Same, but with Skyrim!

Slaves have become very expensive. Pay more for rock.

I only watched a playthrough to be honest, because the game wasn't available for my pc and the gameplay seemed kinda outdated, but fuck yeah! The story and voice work really rocked! I loved it as well. Don't get me started on OST. Quite the movie material in my opinion.

I’m well aware, but everybody knows the HBM demand will dry up eventually and that eventually the consumer market will be worth trying to profit from again.

They just want to manipulate the consumer market to maximize margins. If they can get memory prices to stay at 200-300% for a while, they can up the prices they charge and raise margins to stratospheric heights not before seen on the consumer market. All manufacturers jump on stuff like this when they can get away with it.

Memory manufacturers still order from micron directly for their own branded chips. Those margins will increase for all parties. Ai data center demand is like Christmas for the entire industry. No pricing is transparent and every vendor is profiteering.

Just throw that in a omv server, idk what drive you have but it should be supported, do whatever works for you though

It also means that AI in places where it brings nothing and in many cases makes the product actually worse will disappear

How is anyone going to run those powerful models locally once the necessary hardware is unaffordable/unobtainable?

No one is paying for AI because no one wants it to begin with.

Yeah. The current job market shows a different trend.

With people saying "people using AI will replace people not using AI".
And the reason for that is not because people using AI will produce better work, but because AI usage will be preferred over usable output.

And because the flow of money is such that all those having money can easily choose to give most of it to AI users^[with the only exception being base material products like agricultural produce, which has a much lower margin and their costs again go to AI users] while non-AI users don't have the same ability once most providers turn to AI use.

Now as long as you get the Governments on board (they are already buying up GPUs too) you can get all taxes into AI use, hence starving the non-AI market of ability to procure computing hardware (or anything else to work on) and that is how you get AI supremacy without providing anything better.

Note that the mantra doesn't say the market can stay irrational, it's just a warning that if you are predicting when irrational failure will produce the expected results, you can be in for a bad time. So if someone is thinking about shorting a bunch of the heaviest bubble stocks and expecting to win, well, they can get screwed as the bubble sustains long enough to screw them and then pop.

Same CPU, but 3070 RTX and 64 gigs of ram and 4TB 990 pro mvme. Looking back, I bought at the very beginning of the hike, and all because a very good RAM discount.

Might change the GPU for something more Linux friendly if prices go down or second hand, but my idea is to have 5-10 years honestly.
