Still on a 1060. Refusing to upgrade until GPU prices return to reality.
So like… never.
Still sitting on my 1070. Can’t upgrade unless I upgrade the whole PC, so I’m stuck forever.
I’m happy enough with a Legion Go for little games and my PS5 for big games.
I think the consoles having weak RT has meant the 10x0 series having a longer than usual lifespan, since they still have to write games for traditional lighting models.
Me too. I’ll just wait.
There’s a whole backlog of old games anyway between Steam and straight out piracy. There are so many old games that a life wouldn’t be enough to play them all.
I just bought a 5060ti because I don’t think they are going to.
Not for a long time, at least. And my old 1660 super still has some life in it…I’ll hand it down to my kid (I was gonna give him a rx570…).
Stop feeding nvidia
The 4090 has appreciated in value in spite of the 5090 and it’s own flammability
*laughs in AMD
(I know they’re not that much better but they’re so much more well supported in Linux it’s absurd. NVIDIA only started getting more support that was focused on AI, which is cool and all, local AI is all right, but no very useful in everyday context.)
I switched from Nvidia and Intel to Amd Amd for my newer PC. Couldn’t be happier. No issues. Better prices too.
AMD has software for both its processors and gpus. So nothing to trade off as far as I can tell.
Fr, how anyone still pays extra for Nvidia’s bullshit is crazy to me.
How’s the local LLM support on Linux with AMD?
(Yes I could google, but I think people here would give more realistic answers at a more reasonable tech skill level)
llama.cpp (and by extension Ollama) has a Vulkan backend now, which works fine for my usecases on AMD
Latest rumor is that NVIDIA is making too much with AI cards. They won’t release a new consumer line for a couple more years.
It isn’t worth spending any waffers on the high end nodes for chips that offer such relatively low margins.
I bought a RTX 3060 12gb a few weeks ago from OfferUp for $200. Sweet deal.
