Tl;dr: It's a YouTube video.

Top comment:

The 5060: It's 5030 performance with 5050 VRAM for a 5070 price.

If you have working hardware, stretch it.

The more people participate in these markets, the more corporate gets positive feedback.

I get that their core business shifted to data center but how much AI slop does the world need it lol

We already mined all the crypto 🐸

Just got CUDA running on my 7900 XTX.

I'm checked out of Nvidia

Still rocking with a 970. I don’t play enough games that it would matter, and medium/high settings still run 1080p/60fps most of the time since only predatory AAA games use that high of graphics.

I'm not sure I'll ever upgrade my 3080 until it dies. Minecraft will run just fine and that's most of my gaming time.

Also me with a 1070. I have to take of the door of my computer if I want to play games and not lag (that much) because it can easily get up to ~90C with it on. ;-;

Are your case fans broken? That really shouldn't happen unless your dust filter is full or not enough air is being moved by youe case fans

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago

I think it's just a cruddy case (dell t3610). I don't think it was meant to have a 1070 in it because I had to cut a hole in the door for the cables.

I've switched from a 670 to a 9070 XT last week, and I have to say I am enjoying all the local coop in UWQHD with my family that were barred to me before due to old nvidia drivers or lack of fps. Turns out my wife is a natural talent at overcooked.

Games on medium settings from eight years ago still look amazing in my opinion. Plus, sticking to the older hardware is great way to finally play those games that you bought because they were on sale for $3 that you never even installed. (Don't we all have a few dozen of those?)

I've got 800+ games in my steam library. I've played maybe half, and half of that half for more than 20mins

Long story short: It's ~40% worse than a B580 when VRAM capped, and up to 40-60% better when not.

A used 2080 ti is better if the game uses more than 8gb of VRAM with your setup and settings.

I'm afraid it will sell well, like the 4060.
