To recap, spend $400 for a 5-10% increase in performance, which in real world terms brings you from 75fps to 80fps. How grand
Is it worth upgrading from 2080 ti? Starting to get a bit slow
I wouldn’t. Just give it some love and maintenance, i.e. get the dust out/ re-paste.
I feel dumb for asking, but given these prices is a 6800, 6750xt, or 6700xt the better buy? I’m coming from a 6GB 1060 so they’re all a huge jump for 1440p, but I want this to last a few years so I can upgrade my mobo and cpu next year
Pass
1080 still running. Fans gave out so I just replaced it with a 3d printed fan mount and added a couple noctua fans
If I’m starting a brand new build (first one) should I go for a 3060ti or 4060ti?
Thanks for the help in advance.
Anybody know if there’s a guide like this for TVs?
TLDR: There aren’t any good Black Friday gpu deals.
A good deal is MSRP just hurts to see
Will we see a 4060 super in January?
I’m still running a 1060 on my i7-8700K rig. However, the tiny 3 GB GPU ram ist becoming more and more of an issue. Any recommendations on a reasonable upgrade? I’m eying the 7700 xt. But 450 € is a bit too steep for such an old system imo.
Best cheapest option to run smaller ai models on?
Like the gguf’d Mistral 7b versions that are lighter on memory, for example. I need fast inference and I don’t really feel like depending on OpenAI, or paying them a bunch of money. I’ve fucked up and spent like $200 on api charges before, so definitely trying to avoid that.
I have a 980ti and it’s just too damn old. It works with some stuff but it’s super hit or miss with any of the newer libraries.
Consider something with a bit more VRAM, like a 2080ti or a 3080. The extra headroom of 10gbs will help with higher quantisation precision (e.g. 4 bit vs 8 bit). You need a bit over 14GBs to run full 7B models w/o quantisation, so you’ll need quantisation.
Maybe a used RTX 30 series? They have tensor cores which helps a lot ini running AI stuff. I got a used 3070 for $240 a few weeks ago.
I have a 6700k cpu and a 1070. Anyone recommend the best card I can get that won’t bottleneck before the cpu?
