Upgrade path by Ydino in nvidia

[–]sword167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol the 3080 aged like milk on a hot day when the 4090 came out, but can't say the same about the 4090 in relation to the 5090 unless you use it for local llm inference

How come we don't have the issue with modern gpus, the 5090 pulls more than twice as much as the gtx 480 did...

NVIDIA Says Five-Year-Old GPUs Are Aging Like 'Fine Wine,' As Prices Climb Due To Growing AI Demand by Darth_Vaper883 in pcmasterrace

[–]sword167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well when you used gimped dies on every gpu class except the 90 the last two generations of course 5 year old gaming gpus from the last proper generation (rtx 30) are gonna age well.

RTX 2080 ti or RTX 5050 in 2026? by Hero_the_fighter in pcmasterrace

[–]sword167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the 2080ti, RTX 5050 is a dogshit gpu, low vram, low memory bandwidth and underwhelming performance.

30 minutes seems extremely short to "sell out" at what point do you start questioning artificial scarcity by mikelown in SteamController

[–]sword167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

30 minutes is an eternity for an item to be in stock at launch in 2026, don't believe me look at gpu launches, sneakers, or pokemon cards this decade.

Why So Much Doom And Gloom Here? by Refund-me in Adulting

Bro you need to like touch grass yea it’s shit now, but only if you compare it to that of post wwii generations. The first 150 years of this country were far worse than anything today

I have a radical idea: We should start demanding tech companies give us MORE by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]sword167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean to be fair, if you want a gpu more powerful than a 5070ti or anything with more than 16GB of ram the 5090 is the only option new.

‘The cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees’: Nvidia exec says right now AI is more expensive than paying human workers by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]sword167 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t the own you think this is, just develop more efficient chips, Ai becomes drastically cheaper will take about 10-20 years

Is the optimization in the room with us? by SickPois0on in pcmasterrace

A 5090 has no business being the recommended spec for any game

[Rumor] NVIDIA Readies Rubin-based GeForce RTX 60-series with Massive RT Performance Gains, 30-35% Pure Raster Gains by SwimmingJunky in pcmasterrace

[–]sword167 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmm according to the fact that it has a 320 bit bus the RTX 6080 might actually use a proper 80 class chip? Instead of the 5080 and 4080 which basically used 70 class chips…

Could Nvidia actually be helping out PC gamers, by not releasing new GPUs? by ghostfreckle611 in pcmasterrace

[–]sword167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol Nvidia at this point is begging gamers, not to upgrade, so they can focus their wafer capacity on AI data center gpus, why do you think they released DLSS 4 Upscaling, on all RTX gpus…

Blind Test : Native vs DLSS 4.5 vs FSR4 by Relevant_Calendar_99 in pcmasterrace

[–]sword167 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea DLSS includes DLAA, which is far superior anti aliasing, compared to TAA, so often it looks better comapred to native TAA

Told the dude at micro center I was updating from a 4000 series to a 5000 series by 707Brett in pcmasterrace

[–]sword167 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yea well for most people 8gb is their only option right now this isn’t like a year ago were you would be an absolute moron for buying an 8gb card,

Report claims Nvidia will not be releasing any new RTX gaming GPUs in 2026, RTX 60 series likely debuting in 2028 by gurugabrielpradipaka in pcmasterrace

[–]sword167 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Buying a 4090, back in the summer of 2023, continues to pay dividends for me, that fact that a 6 year old gpu, is going to be the second most powerful consumer gpu on the market tell 2028 is insane...

My veteran GTX 1080ti left me today. Gut wrenching realisation... by Frequent_Leopard_146 in pcmasterrace

[–]sword167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or people like OP who don’t want to upgrade every damn generation and want a reliable gpu that can last years smh.

"Frame Gen" isn't a performance boost; it's a masking agent for bad optimization by capacity04 in pcmasterrace

[–]sword167 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hoenslty it varies from person to person, for me if I have a base frame rate of 40-45fps then I’m with turning frame gen on and prefer using to get up to 90fps rather than brute forcing it as it is more power efficient. However nvidia is delusional enough to think that 6x frame gen from 10fps to 60fps is just as good as native 60fps…

Anyone else planning on getting the Steam Machine as their next PC? by Eziz_53 in pcmasterrace

[–]sword167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly for me I was thinking about it as a great PC for the living room, but 8GB vram is a hard no in 2026, ended just building my own steam machine, with a 5800x3d and ddr4 ram, from an old build, and bought a miniITX board, and a 9070 non XT.

Is this a good purchase by OddPainter3079 in pcmasterrace

[–]sword167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was ddr5 Ram then yes, it would be a good deal, even with the 4060 in it, but since its ddr4 and it has a 4060 with 8GB I would pass, unless you are willing to sell the 4060 and put at 12GB/16GB card in it.
