When do the next generation GPUs drop?

Well you don’t have to go fully luxury here. The basic ones use tap water, so it’s not like it’s coming out of the artic ocean or anything. It will do as you ask, reduce or replace your TP usage. When you feel especially wealthy, you can rewire for a singing toilet that is also a bidet.

I understand one Japanese model will massage your prostate too, really clean your pipes from all angles.

Today is “1050 Ti (MSI Gaming X) Day” at the local Microcenter. Cards which debuted for $140 back in 2016 are now selling for $215. @#$% you very much, GPU industry.

[stusser]

I bet my old GTX770 would sell well, it’s basically as fast as a 1050. And my GTX1080 would be the belle of the ball!

A glance at prices on Amazon just made me gag, LOL

[Nesrie]

We’ve been told if you have to pay more, it’s really no big deal. In fact, if it’s double, shrug, just uhhh… haha, no complain away. It’s messed up. No one wants a supply issue when they’re trying to build.

[stusser]

Looks like the GTX770 would fetch around $100 on eBay. That’s pretty insane. And GTX1060s start around $150! And $400 for a GTX1080!

Here’s a fun article, seems that DLSS is really easy to implement on Unreal engine.

I can actually sell my 1080Ti for $200 more than what I paid for it 2nd hand two years ago. But I am keeping it for now as it is very valuable and a good backup in case this 3090 dies.

[stusser]

Not a bad idea-- my 3080 did die, and I did have to use the old 1080 for a month.

[Alistair]

Hard to believe I could get north of $600 for a 2080S on eBay, to go towards an $800 3070…

@morlac

It was just s matter of time before this thread turned to shit.

QT3 tangents are the best tangents.

@stusser

Yep, I was going to get a full-on japanese toilet installed, but it would require rewiring my bathroom.

That exactly what we did, as part of our bathroom remodel:

I can neither confirm nor deny this assertion.

[stusser]

I’m so jealous!

My prostate really needs a strong firm hand.

[Papageno]

Ummm, be that as it may, what with the miners* we’re not going back, ever, to the days of a decent midrange GPU going for under 400, are we?

*may they be forever cursed

Also thank ShitGibbon for trade war with Jyna despite not even knowing what “tariffs” are and who pays them.

[Papageno]

That too, of course. Are there plans to roll those back (please please please)?

[rei]

wrong thread, too many tabs open

[Soma]

BEST TANGENT!

[Papageno]

I’m afraid I’m missing something here.

[Rock8man]

Wrong thread!
