News Desktop Graphics Cards Sales Hit New Multi-Decade Low: Report

[TerryLaze]

From what I gather of the article I read about NVIDIA having Intel make the consumer end GPU's isn't to sell it off but to 'farm' it out.

OH,ok.
That's not a spin off though.
The way he worded it it sounds like he said that nvidia would sell they GPU division since they make their money from AI.

Once upon a time, I used to think it made sense to spend about the same on a CPU and GPU. I now think that's somewhat arbitrary, and won't necessarily result in a balanced system.

I would still have a really hard time paying more than $1k for a GPU, unless I had a good need for it.

gpu have sadly become much more expensive than cpu.

about the $1k, I have a little more than that amount already saved in the bank. But would never spend that much on a gpu. Saving the money for the "rainy days". There is always the nightmare scenario in my mind where someone at home got severely sick or got into an accident, then I have no more money to help pay hospital bills, because have spent the saved money on gpu. It's silly, but could happen. Hopefully, not.

I'm a product of Public School Education, where learning was optional.

Thankfully, my rather obscure last name was added to the game audio six or seven years ago. Though it's actually my fault they say the first syllable ZIM as I do rather than the SCHZIM which is more accurate.

a little late to quote.. but I have to reply on this.

anyway, had your last name added to a game audio? Nice, that is amazing. Have been playing games for years, but this is the first time I heard people's last name can be added to game audio.

I split high-school between public and a rather selective private school. I'd say the public school honors/AP kids were no different than most of the private school kids. If you weren't in the honors track, then public school standards were a fair bit lower. Dunno if I'd call it "learning-optional", but a lot of kids could coast and still get a diploma. Even so, there were a decent number of hard-working kids in the non-honors track. That should tell you it wasn't a total joke. Sports were definitely better at the public school, but that's largely the difference between a graduating class size of 50 vs. 500.

I bought the 1080 Ti for $699 as part of my 7700k build in 2017.

$1500 for the 3090 as part of my 10900k build in 2021. Sold the 1080 Ti for $250.

$1750 for the 4090 as part of my 7950x3D build in 2023. Sold the 3090 for $750.

We'll never see a flagship card for $699 again... and while I am not a Nvidia shareholder I do believe that the 4090 is worth the premium. It's a quantum leap in performance improvement over the 3090 as shown here.

You are getting what you pay for with the 4090.

Change my mind.

You are right. RTX 4090, really is amazing.

Few months ago, i made the mistake of choosing a new rig, with a 4070 Ti as its centerpiece.

I've been out of the hardeware market for very long, so a man can make (pricey) mistakes, lol!

It wasn't long before i realised what you correctly mentioned: out of all the 40 series, the 4090 is the only one truly worth buying.

So, i bought it a few days ago: it's raw power, more than makes up for its hefty price tag.

I lent my 4070 Ti to my best friend: he's a gamer and he's putting it to good use, ha ha!

4090's visual performance, is just amazing at Metro Exodus Enhanced, Resident Evil 4 remake and Cyberpunk.

So far, the only game that's given mu GPU a hard time, is Far Cry 6: at 4K, max settings, and a Resolution Scale of 2.0, it requires more than 24 GB of VRAM. The game, still allows me to run it, but i only get about 1 FPS at benchmark, lol!

Hey no problem... glad to be of assistance!
