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

I've never been on the cutting edge of graphics cards with the game I play. But unless something comes out that is game changing I'm probably done buying a new one for a very long time.

At one time I had 480 volt 3 phase power here, not once did I say "Gee some day I can run a GPU with it". Stupid me I had to turned off.

It came with the house when I bouht it. The owner had some equipment in the shop he used. I used it for a while since I had acess to some industrial welding machines. I got a deal through the local power co-op since a good friend of mine his wife works there and her job is to deal with that and configure what a company needs for power and such. If I hadn't the minimum payment amount per month would be overwhelmingly too expensive.

You can use rotary phase convertors to avoid using 3 phase. I do know if you have 3 phase buying used equipment like mills, lathes, and welding machines is much much cheaper to buy 3 phase if you can manage. Lot of people looking for something nice and used that isn't 3 phase, 3 phase is out there used everywhere. I switched to rotary phase convertors for my mill and lathe and have no use for it for a welding machine. If I can't weld it I take it to one of the shops I do work for.
