    Why do GPU's have to be so expensive, I don’t like to compromise a whole lot

    bc the considerably wealthy still use GPU's to mine altcoins as a "hobby".

    older AMD cards are much more profitable for mining and most miners use them, some miners use older 10 series cards but most use AMD and AMD still has a lower resale value

    there is still some money in GPU mining but most of it has dried up unless you have a way of getting very cheap power

    the high end nvidia stuff is overpriced because nvidia has had no competition for years and it seems like AMD will put prices nearly as high as Nvidia now

    at least next gen GPUs should be a bigger performance leap which is happening because of the competition between Ampere and RDNA2

    Graphics card just died. Was planning on building a new pc sometime this year but not this soon.

    AMD 390, served me well. Been about 5 years now, since before Pablo era.

    Think ima get a decent card this week since I'll repurpose this pc anyway, and also start looking at the full build too.

    Grabbed a 1660 Super to hold me off til the winter full rebuild.

    But I think I might upgrade my monitor sooner. I’d like something that’s 4K compatible for movies but it’ll be used mostly for gaming. Any recommendations?

    Painted my side panels to my PC started sanding my panels with 800 grit sandpaper and then went over it with self etching primer and let it cook for 2 hours in the sun. Went back over it with wet sandpaper and a sponge and smoothed out the imperfections prepping it for 2 coats of base paint and one coat of clear gloss let it sit outside all day yesterday.

    fast forward to today i used 2 compound polish passes and 3 polywax compound passes and buffed the panels individually and ended up with this result.

    anyone still looking for a gpu? i've got a 1080 collecting dust (not actually) i'm willing sell for a good price. only used it for 4 months. i did buy it amazon renewed but i had no problems with it. oc'd and undervolted just fine. probably still under factory warranty i'll have to check.

    amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-DisplayPort-Dual-link-ZT-P10800H-10P/dp/B07LDHYYLT?th=1

    since those amazon reviews look trash
    really good card imo.

    If I want to cop a monitor to use with my PS4, is it worth shelling out an extra $50+ for an IPS monitor over a TN?
