Thank fuck. Can we have cheaper graphics cards again please?

I'm sure a RTX 4090 is very impressive, but it's not £1800 impressive.

Sorry, crypto is back in season.

I swapped to AMD this generation and it's still expensive.

[–] woodenskewer@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

A well researched pre-owned is the way to go. I bought a 6900xt a couple years ago for a deal.

I used to buy broken video cards on ebay for ~$25-50. The ones that run, but shut off have clogged heat sinks. No tools or parts required. Just blow out the dust. Obviously more risky, but sometimes you can hit gold.

If you can buy a ten and one works, you've saved money. Two work and you're making money. The only question is whether the tenth card really will work or not.

And are you really interested in selling the extras?

[–] BallsandBayonets@lemmings.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Graphics cards are so bulky nowadays it's often hard to even fit two on one mobo, as much as I'd love to see 10 GPUs all linked up.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Lol. I guess you'd need to go to a mining crypto den then, I hear they pull that sort of nonsense. ;)

But seriously though, I'm not interested in listing, shipping, and dealing w/ customer feedback just to save a few bucks on a GPU, because that sounds like a job.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

For the price of the bundle? Sure.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Really? I'm far too lazy to list things like that. If I was, I'd be buying a lot more than 10 and make a little business out of it.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

I used to get EVGA bstock which was reasonable but they got out of the business 😞

[–] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

AMD will go back to the same strategy they had with the RX 580. They don't plan to release high end cards next generation. It seems they just want to pump out a higher volume of mid-tier (which is vague and subjective) while fixing hardware bugs plaguing the previous generation.

Hopefully, this means we can game on a budget while AMD is focusing primarily on marketshare.
