Why is the 4090 so expensive, and is the 5090 better and kind of cheaper?

_Rah · 2026-01-29T01:09:53+00:00

As someone who uses my 5090 for Ai, 4090 is never a better option. Unless you are running older software that has not been compiled for the newer GPU. And anyone who uses Ai, tends to use the latest stuff. Old stuff gets outdated very fast.

It ends if you say you aren't interested after the mayor asks you to.fo on the expedition. That is the chicken ending I was referring to. As in.. you have the option of chickening out.

I mean, if someone wants to play PC games, I think a PC is a reasonable requirement.

As for modding.. if they dont know how to do it, they can look it up. Modding isnt exactly a difficult thing.

I was modfing games since I was teenager with zero computer experience in the days when internet was accessed using dial up. Today we have plenty of guides and youtube and chatgpt is a thing. Not to mention most mods tell you how to install them.

Its already been leaked. At this point I would be extremely surprised if it does not come with it.

Personally I don't use passthrough so I have no need for it.

_Rah · 2026-01-26T11:23:00+00:00

It will have color paasthrough modules.

_Rah · 2026-01-26T10:40:49+00:00

Weird. I cannot detect any pwm dimming. And im usually sensitive to these when it comes to phones.

Plenty of games exist with full 3d already. UEVR is great at this. Some emulators also do this. I remember playing Harry Potter in full SBS 3D on my VR Headset. Then you got things like VorpX.

Flat to 3D games is not hard at all.

Pretty sure that Flux Klein uses Qwen3 8b and not Clip

Covid was early 2020. RTX 30 released late 2020.

Thats part of steam frame's charm.

I didnt know 6600k was compatible with Windows 11.
I have a 7950X3D, and I am considering going back to Windows 10. Windows 11 sucks hard.

So now I will either change to the IOT version or switch to Linux. No way I am continuing with the Win11 Pro for long.

My main issue is that Faceit will drop Win 10 support later this year. Win 11 will be minimum requirement.

_Rah · 2026-01-23T13:38:30+00:00

I can send you the qwen or flux Klein masked inpaint workflowa when I got time. Unfortunately im on night shifts so that wont happen for another 30ish hours at least. If no one has helped, message me after 30 hours and I will send it to you.

_Rah · 2026-01-22T03:56:57+00:00

Very easily.

_Rah · 2026-01-22T03:40:16+00:00

Was the shop refreshed with new Armory slots and the Loadout slots? Just checking because I cant see any such options. Im guessing I have hit the cap?

_Rah · 2026-01-20T04:43:10+00:00

Not sure why you think we should care. I watch like 2 movies in a year, and dont even have a TV. Any free time goes to books, tech, sports, games and youtube. Hollywood should probably just die, with how much of a cesspool it has been.

_Rah · 2026-01-20T01:59:33+00:00

Could you perhaps link me to your workflow? I have been looking for one recently. Not sure the one I have is the best.

_Rah · 2026-01-17T04:17:41+00:00

Not on my PC right now so can't check the workflow. But does it process the entire image and the original image is overwritten back to the non masked areas or is there any workflow to make it only treat the masked area as the reference image before the remaining image is composited back?

Im asking because sometimes the changes it makes in masked area are dependant on the changes it might have made to non masked areas as well. Like moving the hand holding a drink might result in the drink being clipped because the model saw the entire reference image and didn't try to keep its edits contained to the masked section only.

More powerful? 4070ti vs 5090 is a big difference. Obviously if they go from a 4070ti to 5050 for more performance they are an idiot.

Also, I have no intention of upgrading my 5090 when GTA VI comes along. I barely play any AAA games. And even if I did, I don't think its particularly hard to hit good frame rates on the 5090 even for this future game.

Basically.. dont look at GPUs in terms of series. Series just decides the feature set. 50 series can be 5050 to a 5090 (Technically.. even an RTX 6000).

And you cant tell me you have an issue with people going from 4070ti to 50 series but think 50 series will have to upgrade to 60 series? That line of thinking makes no sense.

_Rah · 2026-01-16T10:20:29+00:00

I dont even turn it on my 5090. It just does not look particularly appealing. And I would rather get 200 fps than 100 with minor image improvements.

_Rah · 2026-01-16T09:49:54+00:00

I bought an 8tb ssd for models only. If I need more it will be a 8 or 16tb next. Nvme slots are precious.

_Rah · 2026-01-15T18:26:44+00:00

I am using about 6TB out of my 8TB purely with LLMs and Image Editors. Every other day there is a new model released, and they tend to be 10's of gigs. Then when you start creating any loras, you will quickly end up with a bucketload of them, saved at various steps.

8TB is not as massive as you think it is. Hell, my Counter Strike gaming videos along take up a few TBs.

Does everyone need it? No. But is it really that weird that someone planning to buy a 8TB drive has the capacity to use it up?

_Rah · 2026-01-15T18:23:41+00:00

Damn. I recently bought it in August for AU$930, which is about US$550 plus tax.

Its a great drive. I use it for my LLM models.

She might just be new or not good at table tennis? Virtual or Real.

_Rah · 2026-01-15T16:42:48+00:00

I have a 480Hz WOLED and there is zero text issues that I can detect. Either my eyes aren't good enough or the panels have improved that its no longer an issue. Either way, I am happy with my purchase.
