LMAO, these sanctions have more holes than Swiss cheese. Sure, Nvidia won't ship to China. They will ship to Kazakhstan though, and Mongolia, and a million other places that will happily cross-ship to China.
Team Green fucktards were so drunk off crypto money that they overproduced 40 series shitcards, that literally NO ONE bought.
4090 aside, 40 series overproduction resulted in these retarded fucks having to dilute their offerings and rebadge after literally everyone and their cousin has shit on them non-stop since 2022.
Basically it's too little, too late. Pricing on these revised cards is still too high and smart buyers like myself are waiting for Battlemage / 50 series. You = clueless fucktard.
I haven't had an ATI in a machine I've bought (aside from the Xbox I suppose) in many years. I have a 3080ti and intel i9 in the laptop I'm on now + subscribe to GeForce Now which gives me a 4080 desktop version + threadripper CPU. The problem is that you're poor and irate over people with money. As to boo hoo Nvidia, I own quite a bit of their stock and it has performed VERY well for me.
lol i openly mocked diamond in a LULZY 10 yr old thread in which he bragged about running dual SLI and getting 60 fps in crysis 3, when i matched/beat his performance for literally pennies to the dollar by simply waiting
99% of tech is a grift and you are hilarious for thinking you are getting any sort of value by going "cutting edge". even more hilarious is that with your current gaming rig, i would STILL utterly dominate you in cs2 1:1 despite my 3dmark score being prob not even half yours
"when i matched/beat his performance for literally pennies to the dollar by simply waiting"
Dumbest observation imaginable. No shit you can always match elite performance today "just by waiting" for however many years. That's true with cars too. You can get a nice whatever after it has been farted in 50k times and sounds like it is dying. Of course, people who can afford stuff that is good and cutting edge like their lives more than you.

Who cares? I haven't played CS in like a decade. I play vid games for fun after working a high paying job. I like the performance nice tech gives. It looks better on a 4k oled display in 4k and ultra quality. I get that and you don't. Ultimately, no one cares what you play as long as you enjoy it but the fact that you're maf about this topic demonstrates that you don't. As Donald Trump says, SAD!
It means what it means. I enjoy my time and am not maf about video game equipment because I'm too poor to buy what I actually want. I am indeed a casual gamer because I already have a job, and it isn't playing video games. Being proud of your vid game record on a game that's what, like 2 decades old at this point, is remarkably cringe.
YES, i paid like 40 bucks for d4 when it was on sale late 2023 but thats the only money ive spent buying games since i was in middle school. and even then i was mostly running apogee shareware, torrenting and IRCing
Right, you're a poor scrub, I get that. But you really think the guy who is rich as shit and doesn't have to torrent games as a working adult is the retard here? Fuck off, loser.
Oh no, I pay people that work for a living for the product of their labors. Why can't I be some loser in Korea who has to steal video games and play it on shitty hardware because I have no marketable skills?
Works phenomenally if you have a great internet connection. I have a fiber line and am plugged in via ethernet. Quality is perfect.
You're basically renting the cloud rig. Via Ultimate service you get a threadripper CPU + 4080 desktop GPU and the cost is like $200/year. Plays pretty much everything maxxed out at 4k. You have to own the game on a service synced to the service (Steam, Epic Store, Xbox store, UPlay, etc.) AND it has to be a game on the service (a huge number are but some aren't). Also, a bunch of Xbox Gamepass games are now on.

Yes. Also, pro-tip: Epic Games store often gives games away for free and some of them are AAA games that play on Nvidia GeForce Now. For example, they just gave away Guardians of the Galaxy. PC Game Pass is also cheap and has a number of games, like FarCry 6 and Starfield.

xx50 series are usually 180 if you just do content creation. In this case you get AV1 encoding. I think 60-series is supposed to entry level for gaming
team green is just a straight up grift in 2024 bro. and this is coming from a hardcore gamer back in the day who copped DAT geforce 4 TI 4200 and 6800 ultra
i was eyeing the 3060 ti last year but battlemage + team red/green next gen cards coming out 2024/2025. last sept when i built a new rig was when prices literally rock bottomed
Date: February 5th, 2024 6:57 PM Author: mildly autistic old irish cottage school
Nigga I don't play games, I use RTX broadcast. AMD's equivalent is pure SHIT and xx50s have always been better for that shit. he GTX 950 did HEVC decoding natively when the 970 did not.
very few good deals on the market since prices bottomed late last year. upcoming releases on next-gen cards so i dont mind having to run this fucker till the wheels fall off (literally)
LOL@ RETARDS WHO BUY CUTTING EDGE TECH: $1000 GTX TITAN CANT EVEN RUN GAMES ANYMORE
PC Games Hardware Germany has gone back and retested Nvidia's GTX Titan, which launched over a decade ago, to see how it performs in 2024. The review outlet found that the tables have turned on the Kepler GPU, and most games made today are not compatible due to missing features. Of the few modern games that do run on what was once among the best graphics cards for gaming, only a handful are playable at ultra settings.
It's worth mentioning that the particular GPU PCGH reviewed was the original GeForce GTX Titan that was unveiled in 2013, based on Nvidia's Kepler architecture. There have been multiple iterations of the Titan throughout the years, with some sharing names with their predecessors, so it's a bit difficult to keep track of each Titan SKU. The Kepler-based GTX Titan debuted with 6GB of GDDR5 memory operating on a 384-bit bus, with 2,688 cores, 876MHz boost clock, and a 250W TDP.
Despite being Nvidia's flagship GPU from 2013, PCGH found that the Kepler GPU is a very poor gaming GPU in 2024. The biggest issue with the GPU is its age and lack of modern features. It barely qualifies as a DirectX 12 compatible GPU at all, meeting only the base specification without any extra features. It also only supports DirectX 12 through software emulation, which is less efficient than native hardware support. This is due to the fact that DirectX 12 was released two years after the GTX Titan debuted in 2015.
still lollercausting@ ddc who bragged about his $4000 SLI setup getting 60 fps on crysis 10 years ago when my $450 budget rig gets the same performance
LOL@ fucktards who bought any team green 4000 series shitcards

It was more than 10 years ago and it was triple SLI, but it was on a massive 7860x1600 multimonitor setup.
Also, I bought those cards for something like $800-$900 each and sold them for around $500-$600, so it didn't cost me that much money, especially considering that I held them for a long time and skipped a gen of GPUs.
Lastly, the original titan had very good price/performance. Yes, it was expensive in absolute terms, but the performance was literally a full generation ahead (30-50% faster) than anything else you could buy. It was only later that NVIDIA started cranking out "Titans" with marginal performance increase over the mainline card that still had a huge price premium. The original Titan was an absolute beast and had great resale value because of how well it held up against the following generation of cards.
rtx 5000 series already shaping up to be a complete disaster LMAO:
the first set of Blackwell gaming cards are also tipped to ship with 28Gbps GDDR7 memory, which is a tad lower than the 32Gbps maximum capacity of the GDDR7 chips. However, this will still be substantially faster than previous generation graphics memory, as GDDR6 only offered up to 18Gbps bandwidth, while GDDR6X went up to 21Gbps. While Nvidia is expected to stick with 16Gbit densities for the GDDR7 memory chips, there's no word on the memory bus widths of the individual SKUs.

He's trying to justify upgrading from a 590 but can't, because there's no reason unless you're trying to save $20/yr on electricity. Gay tracing is the stupidest shit ever.
Date: March 12th, 2024 9:59 PM Author: mildly autistic old irish cottage school
lol@ using a GPU to do anything besides play games. If there's something else you're doing that can't be done better on a Threadripper with a bunch of RAM, it's retarded flame.
total disassembly + new fans and thermal paste. temps went from 80s to low 40s. this thing will basically never die. will sell later after my 6900xt is installed
the only reason i even upgraded to the 6900xt is because i literally got it for 45% off sticker (it outperforms the 4070 ti, btw). had to spend a pretty penny on my custom loop for it but still worth it imo

Who cares what cooler they put on the founder's edition? they have consistently been louder and haven't cooled as well as the better third party cards so they aren't what enthusiasts will be buying.

Just got my 5090. Sold my 4090 for $500 over what I paid 2.5 yrs ago, so the upgrade didn't cost that much.
The 4090 was already enough for 90% of games and would run just about everything maxed at 120fps. I've been trying that last 10% of games (and also VR) and it's a big jump forward.
Cyberpunk in particular is INSANE on a 5090. The raytracing is so intense that it runs in the mid 30s with DLAA (extremely good anti-aliasing) on. But these new 3x and 4x framegen models can push it to 120fps+ with amazing image quality.
For comparison, the 4090 has to run DLSS (upscaling performance enhancer) instead of getting the visual bump from DLAA, and even then it's going to constantly dip under 60fps due to only having 2x framegen and being weaker overall.
The visual difference is night and day, probably the biggest generational leap I've seen. I haven't been this impressed since running Crysis on triple SLI builds.
