Please, please bring the world back to sanity. I was like, literally saving up to expand my homelab when my main server went down and have been utterly slapped by prices.
so like, i have generational hoarder trauma. we're not that bad, but we don't throw away shit we can legitimately use if we have the room to store it without making a mess. so i have three extra PC boxes and two extra laptops on a shelf in the garage that i was waiting for the energy to go through, wipe the hard drive, see if there were any parts i wanted to use and blah blah blah. two days of work that i just really didn't want to do, especially since one of them is emotional. now if anything burns out i have my spare parts cache sitting there and thank the machine god it won't be too much of a downgrade.
I bought a 2x32gb DDR4 kit for my home server just before it all went to shit. Feels good (though now I want to upgrade my gaming pc and I wish I had bought a DDR5 kit too)
Yeah but apparently GPUs are going up again 🤣...😭
Price of the brick goin up?
China has released their first gen competition to Nvidia cards. First ones kinda suck, but they're cheap. Let them pump out a few more and they'll drive the market back down.
More like competition to Intel considering these cards performance is similar to 3060
Is the 3060 that bad, I’ve been able to play a lot of games on a 750 TI still (though finally swapped for a 1650).
It's not bad, I think you can play pretty much anything on 1080p with 60fps easily. It's just that if you want to play games in 1440p or 4K with 120 fps+ you need something more powerful.
That's not too bad. The next generation could be genuinely useful.
I got many empty PCI-E slots. Having three or four 3060 clones to accompany my 4090 would make bigger models much more practical.
Isn't Nvidia only bumping up the price of the 5090s? Or is there an update to that?

Paragraphs 3 and 4, mostly.
