Too Big, SAD!

Like many others have said, it feels like these new GPU were designed for mining rigs. They’re just too big to fit inside many normal cases.

If you’re just playing video games, stop buying a new card every 1-2 years. The higher end cards should last you 3-4 years.

More reason to go with RDNA3

Laughing (crying?) In MSI 1060 6 GB.

I’d rather they didn’t explode.

Even more if you don't rage about every single fps. I just upgraded after 7 years from rx480 8gb (still able to run games like RE:8 in playable quality) to 3080ti and i don't plan touching that setup for next 5 at least

Don't cry, I'm over here with a 4k monitor and a gtx 970 haha

My 1080ti is still chugging along. But considering one of them new AMD cards in the nearish future.

270X that needs to support an ultrawide... only old games working full screen here :/

1080Ti still going strong here.

I'm still on my RTX 2070 from 2019.

People can spend money however they choose.

My 980ti went from 2015 to 2020 playing all games in mostly maxed settings except some in 2020 that recommended 1080. I have a 3080 now so I don’t see any need to get a newer card till 2025 unless something big happens.

If you managed to get a 3080/3080ti then you can get way more years out of that card than 3/4 unless you're playing some heavy VR stuff, games demands have not gone up significantly like they used to, you only need the new cards if you are one of those "all ultra 8K 240hz" type of gamers or if you stream/play heavy VR games i guess

They have got to move the power to the back

It’s crazy that this and for example not having to upgrade your phone every year has to be even mentioned. These companies have managed to create such a huge FOMO to some people that they can’t live without having the newest thing every second of their life.

Another reason is DP 2.1. The RTX 40 series still uses DP 1.4a. But how good that reason is depends on the availability of DP 2.1 monitors.

Oof, no mods :(

More than that honestly. I was rocking a 1070 literally till this year when a friend offered to trade for his 3070 plus 300 cause he thought it was overkill for overwatch and needed some pocket money. If you have 8 gigs of vram you can still run basically anything these days as long as you are willing to lower settings. An RX 480 can fit that criteria

This is unacceptable

Same bro 1080 not the ti but just 1080 and running new games in ultra with 0 problems..

970 gang! Triple 1080p monitors

I’m using a 1060 as well, and I feel patient enough to wait until next year. Most games aren’t v resource intensive, and my backlog of older games is massive.

Did they imrove VRAM cooling? I heard this was a big issue during the last mining craze…

Athat and having an old display port version. At least AMD stayed sensible.

so? mods aren't required to play the game

Thats me except with a gtx 660 lol. Was able to get a 4090 yesterday tho

As a minor the reason why i hate the 40xx series and would not touch them, nearly hated the 3xxx series for the same reason. No one wants to use Nvidia funny adapters. Even in mining rigs those adapters are horribly dangerous. If anything all the design aspects of this card they put in place was to deter miners.

We don't want huge spacious rigs, we want small compact small footprint stuff.

Wana know why no one has MSI areo 3090 cards?

>you only need the new cards if you are one of those "all ultra 8K 240hz" type of gamers

Sigh... Grabs wallet

Absolutely. I'm using a 5700xt and it still preforms perfectly, even though it's now 2 generations behind. I don't think I'll need to upgrade for another generation.

Man, and I thought my jump from a 770 to a 3080ti was big.

2070 gang!

You got your money's worth out of the 660 anyway 😂

You dont need unless you want to play at 4k with ray tracing. By the time 8k gonna be where 4k is now its 2025, so u good :)

My 1660 is going great! There are dozens of us! DOZENS!

2060 - the laptop’s battery has died, the headphone jack doesn’t work, the power cord is frayed, the screen casing near the hinge has cracked

But I have no complaints with the graphics card.

1070ti gang checking in

Hey, the 1080 is still the king of 1080p gaming

I dont expect anything "mainstream" sooner then 2025 when it comes to 8k monitors.

We will see when its actually out... The RDNA3 is a "beta" on launch and i will be shocked if its in a decent enough state sooner then end of 2023. All I know about AMD cards is from a buddy of mine that has the 6700 and he was complaining alot about the drivers and software. There is nvidia the absolute king.

At least it fits in my Case. Nuff said.

Just replaced my r9 290x. It was still tearing up 1080p, but struggling with 1440p and VR.

What kind of laptop was that omg/did you abuse it? XD

Is it though, theyre not that big? My medium sized case fits them with 8cm to spare

>As a minor

You'll understand when you get older

Same. 4790k and a 1080ti. Currently planning on a new build and so far leaning amd on the GPU. Waiting for real world benchmarks to make that decision.

The 1660 and it's variants (Ti, Super) are some of the most popular graphics cards around, far more than 3080s. My wife's rig has one too.

I guess it only seems niche because I never see people mention it.

My 1080Ti is still going strong after like 5 or 6 years. I'm not really looking into upgrading for another 3 years. My CPU needed a updated before the gpu lol.

you do not have a "medium sized case" lmfao

It’s a corsair crystal 570x not the biggest, but not small either

/sad/ but true

I think their logic was that if you’re spending 1200-1600 on a gpu, you either have or can afford and will buy a bigger case.

If you have a 1080p monitor, it makes sense.

I don't expect them to ever become mainstream, because they provide no real value.

8K TVs have been around for years and there is still nobody even talking about making content for them, because even with 20/20 vision you can't see the difference at any reasonable sitting distance.

I'm so tired of Nvidia, they've been increasingly anti consumer with every new GPU that comes out. I'll just get AMD at this point

Been using it with my 4k monitor with no issue. The one time a game didn't run right was Elden Ring which was why I decided to upgrade my CPU.

Oh sorry. I meant anything over 1080p resolution. Of course it will run in any monitor. I rocked my 1080ti until last year when I couldn’t run games at 1440p good enough ( I have one 1440p and one 4k monitor). It was just just not good enough for newer games at 2k.

Remember when GPUs occupied only one PCI slot?

They're designed for gaming cases.

What's the difference?

Probably not, no. And who wants a huge PC, r/sffpc all the way.

Is that 57 liters or is my math off? Mine is 8.2L. Sure I like mine small but 57 is...big.

A lot of high refresh rate ultrawide monitors can made use of the power too. And there's the 360Hz 1440p monitors too, but that seems somewhat pointless imo.

Games' demands have gone up a lot with ray tracing.

Also the displays that can make use of this power are very much worth using, just saying.

?? Most new ish mid towers can fit these

You're playing at pretty low frames if you're doing AAA games at 4k on a 1080 ti.

The size isn't down to putting off miners though. If it was the partners producing cards would be using smaller heatsinks but they're forced to use massive ones because of the power draw and heat output.

Though I suppose it's possible that Nvidia have forced them to use larger heatsinks though. They're not known for treating partners well hence the EVGA situation.

oh size is a huge off put. maybe not to the hobby mining or home miner. But let me tell you when you have 100+ gpus....space adds up very fast. and with dual and triple slot cards and now quadslot..... I'm good.

also, miners don't push the OCs on these cards. we power limit them to a bare minimum.

the reason why partner cards were so much more popular was that it was easier to adapt to the normal 6 or 8pin we had been using forever..

Serious miners tried to dump their FE cards asap. Poor cooling poor performance.

This is in part why the CMP cards were developed. High power amper chips in a dual-slot design.

I heard a rumour there’s a card that has similar performance to a 4080 but drinks half the juice and is half the size.

Heheheheheheh.

Lenovo Legion Y540.

It's about three years old. Battery still works, just only lasts about 20 minutes when not plugged in.

The cracked screen casing is from when I dropped it a short distance -- no damage to the screen itself.

[deleted]

I upgraded from a 1080ti to a 3070ti because it cost me less than $200 after I sold my old card.

Ray tracing is really nice but the performance leap is actually kinda disappointing, 50% or so. Not life changing that’s for sure.

They starting putting thermal pads on them now. So there’s that.
