  • I heard that MicroCenter had less than 300 5090's for the entirety of the USA. Nvidia has taken the nintendo approach to controlling how much hardware they release.

  • Welcome to fucking around with global markets and the effects of AI on GPU pricing.

  • Ehhh. Whatever. It's like steam sales these days. Just wait. I have a 30 series card that is still going very strong. Hoping for an AMD or Intel higher end card in a gen or two.

  • I just want a cheap 060 card with a decent amount of VRAM but I can't in case somebody trains a fuckbot on it.

    • I wish AMD or Intel released a GPU with upgradable VRAM, that would mean they would become even more viable for fuckbot training. People go the 3090 GPU route in the second hand market for them because all they care about is VRAM size, they don't care if its two generations old.

  • After NVIDIA's marketplace partner botched my order after I paid it and them not taking any responsibility whatsoever, I'm pretty sure I'm well on my way to becoming an AMD fan boy now. Maybe an Intel fan boy, depending on how they continue improving their GPUs. But a lot of GPU development in the future is going to go hand in hand with geopolitics, so it will be interesting to see how that goes.
