>>716476296 They can get very thicc as turns out mere mortals don't use pcie for more than a single gpu (yeah yeah lanes =/= slots) so given the size of the ATX standard they can get monstrous and still fit within the ATX footprint.
Yea, my sapphire 9070 is massive too. Takes up 3 fucking slots and barely fits the case. >>716476193 The days of top tier 350-400 yuro gpu's are long gone my dear anon. This things does 2K at native but fuck me it shouldn't have costed 700 yuros.
Thinking of getting a 9060 XT to put in my sff case, I want to go with amd because poovidia runs like garbage on linux systems and yeah I'm moving on from windows
>>716477308 Don't worry, I clean it once a year, a bit of dust won't kill it.

>>716476749 >The days of top tier 350-400 yuro gpu's are long gone my dear anon I could deal with it if they didn't feel like scams generationally and push AI shite I don't want.
>>716476258 There is not much dedicated hardware for fake frames. tensor cores can be used for DLAA for example. But the RT cores can only do RT and you'll pay for that whether you use RT or not.

>>716476749 What is this? 9070 xt? costs like 1k euros in Russia, faggots get away scamming people because they are the only one big retailer.
>>716478076 non-xt XT version was 150 yuros more expensive back when I got it and required a 750 watt psu so I settled for this one. Has enough perfromance for my usecase and if I really need more I can always OC it.
>>716478178 I was looking at new ones, because I'm tired of shitty TAA and wanted FSR4 or new dlss, I have 6700xt, but the prices are crazy, it's not that I can't buy it, I don't want to get scammed.
>>716476193 >rasterization Any current gen GPU that's focused on upscaling + fake frames will already be strong enough before any gimmicks for all the games in which you need rasterization.
>>716476749 >>716476895 I had one of those in an old PC but none of my new cases have been able to fit it so I ended up just repurposing the fans for case airflow. Kinda unfortunate but at least they're doing something other than rotting

>>716481984 Yes only at 2k max boohoo woe is me. We used to play at fucking 800x600 25fps and when you didn't get enough FPS you were advised to just go down to 640x480. Now we're getting cards that run 1440p60fps easily and have incredibly complex resolution tricks like DLSS that let you essentially go up an entire resolution tier, and you're still bitching about how bad it is.
>>716482580 >buy sapphire 290 >lasts me entire 360/PS3 gen and then some >entire market goes to shit after the 10xx series Yes, 290/970 is where GPU's peaked. You could get them for a decent price and they'd last for over half a decade. Shit really hit the fan when goyvidia introduced their 20xx series.
>>716484284 The real gangster move in hindsight is for those few who bought the 8gb vapor-x 290x.

>>716485586 leave that to animation studios with industrial render farms, because that's the only way of having it at acceptable levels of quality.

>>716476193 GPU market is in a grim state we need more GPU manufacturers as much as i dont like intelaviv i do hope they succeed in the GPU market as it is really necessary
