Please, please bring the world back to sanity. I was like, literally saving up to expand my homelab when my main server went down and have been utterly slapped by prices.

I bought a 2x16gb DDR4 kit for my home server just before it all went to shit. Feels good (though now I want to upgrade my gaming pc and I wish I had bought a DDR5 kit too)

Yeah but apparently GPUs are going up again 🤣...😭

China has released their first gen competition to Nvidia cards. First ones kinda suck, but they're cheap. Let them pump out a few more and they'll drive the market back down.

[-] mecen@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

More like competition to Intel considering these cards performance is similar to 3060

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

That's not too bad. The next generation could be genuinely useful.

I got many empty PCI-E slots. Having three or four 3060 clones to accompany my 4090 would make bigger models much more practical.

Is the 3060 that bad, I’ve been able to play a lot of games on a 750 TI still (though finally swapped for a 1650).

Isn't Nvidia only bumping up the price of the 5090s? Or is there an update to that?

Someone had posted this recently

Paragraphs 3 and 4, mostly.

so like, i have generational hoarder trauma. we're not that bad, but we don't throw away shit we can legitimately use if we have the room to store it without making a mess. so i have three extra PC boxes and two extra laptops on a shelf in the garage that i was waiting for the energy to go through, wipe the hard drive, see if there were any parts i wanted to use and blah blah blah. two days of work that i just really didn't want to do, especially since one of them is emotional. now if anything burns out i have my spare parts cache sitting there and thank the machine god it won't be too much of a downgrade.
