NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

How do y’all think this would compare to the 970m I am rocking in my “gaming laptop”

I think the last game I rocked hard on it was Morrowind with graphics mods

I'm sure yours will fit in there somewhere

I laughed pretty fucking hard. Definitely my vote for 2024 post of the year.

Fast as hell. Take a look at the 40 series bs your current card, then add 10% or whatever on top of that.

I’m thinking about upgrading my 1070 to a 3070 now. Don’t play a ton, but it’s getting to be time. CPU etc about ready as well.

I'm still somewhat sad w/ my 3080, not sure if this thing just runs below average somehow, in hindsight found out how shitty this aorus thing is with it's retarded little graphic display on the card that non of the drivers work for well. I bought in when prices were still a bit high and I regret it, right after moved and started a farm so I hardly play. I wished I'd just waited one more year and grabbed a 3080ti and be pretty well set for a while. Unless something crazy comes out, likely would be able to skip even 5 series.

Nvidia's data center GPUs already hit 1000w TDP. They use a different socket without the shitty 12VHPWR plug though. Doubt home GPUs go anywhere near that high, it would be hard to cool at acceptable noise levels.

Nvidia has also already sold the entire 2025 production of Blackwell GPUs so I wouldn't expect a to get a 50x0 GPU for cheap anytime soon.

Yes and data centers are already upgrading our power delivery systems for the racks of these

They're also super expensive

When prices are only raised $500 everything will be ok.

Right, at least it wasn’t a $1,500 increase. We should consider ourselves lucky and be gracious.

You're memeing but Nvidia is barely scraping by financially

That's China prices I presume? If Trump really sets tariffs that could add a few hundred more to some of those prices for US buyers. AMD and Nvidia are shipping products into the US to get ahead of that, but supply will only go so far. This generation looks like a scalper's wet dream.

NVIDIA and AMD Rush to Ship Next-Generation GPUs Ahead of Trump Administration Tariffs

NVIDIA and AMD have launched an acceleration of their next-generation GPU production and shipping schedules, racing to beat impending Trump administration tariffs that could inflate prices by up to 60%. The companies are prioritizing delivery to US warehouses before January 20, when the new...

Well people keep paying these retarded prices, so it will continue

Yup, would love to find these on shelves collecting dust but people will sell these out in seconds. Sticking with my already stupidly priced 4090 for at least this gen. 1600 was already completely stupid.
