Since when did gfx cards need to cost more than a used car?

We are being scammed by nvidia. They are selling stuff that 20 years ago, the equivalent would have been some massive research prototype. And there would be, like, 2 of them in an nvidia bunker somewhere powering deep thought whilst it calculated the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

3k for a gfx card. Man my whole pc cost 500 quid and it runs all my games and pcvr just fine.

Could it run better? Sure

Does it need to? Not for 3 grand...

Fuck me!.....

I haven’t bought a GPU since my beloved Vega 64 for $400 on Black Friday 2018, and the current prices are just horrifying. I’ll probably settle with midrange next build.

When advanced nodes stopped giving you Moore transistors per $

Bought my first AMD card last year, never looked back

AMD’s Windows drivers are a little rough, but the open source drivers on Linux are spectacular.

Nvidia is using the "its fake news" strategy now? My how the mighty have fallen.

I've said it many times but publicly traded companies are destroying the world. The fact they have to increase revenue every single year is not sustainable and just leads to employees being underpaid, products that are built cheaper and invasive data collection to offset their previous poor decisions.

AMD & Intel ARC are king now. All that CUDA nonsense, is just price-hiking justification

My last nvidia card was gtx 980.I bought two of them. After i heard about 970 scandal. It didnt directly affect me but fuck nvidia for pulling that shit. Havent bought anything from them. Stopped playing games on pc afterwards, just occasionally on console and laptop igpu.

Those 4% can make an RTX 5070 Ti perform at the levels of an RTX 4070 Ti Super, completely eradicating the reason you’d get an RTX 5070 Ti in the first place.

You'd buy a 5070 Ti for a 4% increase in performance over the 4070 Ti Super you already had? Ok.

You don't need NVENC, the AMD and Intel versions are very good. If you care about maximum quality you would software encode for the best compression
