So I just ran a Port Royals benchmark for shits and giggles to see what temps I would get on my 3060ti in a 30 degree F room, and it didn’t crack 51 degrees C. I’ll post graphs tomorrow when I can run the test again in a regular 68 degree room.

I have to imagine there's someone out there trying to get iGPUs to mine, which is going to be great for the APU market

Can't wait to find out that some country has prison inmates or intern camps of people running on treadmills powering mining GPUs.

I guess the best outcome for anyone would have been if they managed to get their hands on a 3080 at msrp before launch, then wait a couple months and sell their 1080ti so that they end up getting paid 100bux for upgrading. On the VR thing, the quest 2 despite its facebook shite is a game changer. I think its ruined pancake games for me.

My boss just asked me how long it would take to get 10 new high end GPU PCs because someone ordered 10 new 3D medical scanners without asking. I have been warning everyone at work about the supply chain & cost issues for months  A quarter million dollars in medical scanners sitting around waiting for GPUs.

Not to get too off topic, but this was essentially what the original plot of the Matrix was supposed to be - human brains were being used for their computational power by the machines. Warner Brothers thought the audience wouldn't understand this, and made them change it to batteries.

I have been warning everyone at work about the supply chain & cost issues for months this is kind of a really stupid question but why would a medical scanner need a GPU? I mean, I think about it for five seconds and I imagine it's possible that something that's doing 3D imaging (like an MRI?) might find it useful to have a piece of hardware dedicated to doing 3D rendering to help it along, but like, how does that work? I keep imagining a big ol' MRI machine except there's a PCI-e slot somewhere on the side??? Why wouldn't they build a medical scanner that can run by itself?

We use them in 2 spots and then a ton on the Workstation side for CAD. 3D imaging as you say, taking thousands of slices of radiograph & putting them together on the fly, & then making that immediately available on the PC for the provider. (We own like 3 of these machines they're physically big) Once these are processed they are uploaded to a server & are viewable on more standard H/W (they do well enough on old intel integrated) Then these ones are portable scanners that take a full 3d model of mouth, gums, teeth, etc. on the fly that's completely able to be manipulated in CAD software. Those are the ones they just bought (25-60k each on the model). So we will strap a desktop to a cart or get a high powered laptop on a cart for these, whatever I can friggin get from Dell/CDW. Maybe they'll let me go to Fauxtool  They'll run ok on Turing cards if we can get them but lol at that too. We're a medical school so our scale is bigger than most actual clinics & we dabble in literally everything, there's 4 people using the software this way, a group of 6 doing something totally else, etc. We maintain a lab of ~GTX 1650 PCs for general use and then an expensive lab of 2080 Supers. I am trying to go to server based GPU stuff but tbh we're not at the scale that it's really cheaper than just buying GPUs - we use a 3rd party non LogMeIn solution to offer fully 3D accelerated remote access to them (behind VPN & 2fa) after hours so that kinda works like a server bus hustler fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Mar 2, 2021 |

Are quadros also hard to get right now? It seems like that’s the perfect application for them, rather than trying to do that stuff on consumer level gaming cards.

The problem is we really just need CUDA cores not actual Quadro features, so to get the ~2080 level of performance just costs a ton, but yeah I am going to ~explore all options~ including Alienwares. This may shock you (lol im sure it wont) but they did not budget any money for the computers in that purchase. edit: we are also limited by vendor agreements, but I can do an Amazon shop in an emergency

If you’re buying prebuilt PCs by invoicing from a big established business (like a university or hospital) it’s not really all that hard to get these things. I think they’re holding a reserve for exactly that. Case in point: guy I work with needed a new computer for big GIS stuff. University ordered it and a week later it was in-hand. 3070. Hospital person probably won’t actually have THAT much trouble going the pre-built route like that.

An RTX 5000 gets blown out of the water by an RTX 3080, and the RTX 5000 by itself is +$1,400. We aren't doing precise calculations we just want raw speed and CUDA cores. And we don't need the 16GB VRAM. That's the rub.

Is it acceptable to ask what bots are good for trying to get a GPU? I'd rather spend the extra $ on a bot so I could possibly get a card for my brother in law and myself than pay double the retail price to some scalper.

Funny, I was just looking back in the thread on page 265 for the first person to get a 970, which would still be a decent value GPU 7 years later. 9/18/2014 Guni posted:970/980 are out!!!

the 970 was a workhorse of a card have the 1070/2070/3070s come close to it in price-to-performance? i guess lol at getting a 3070 at MSRP right now

Other than the scandal where 3 GB of VRAM was full speed but the last 1 GB was far slower, the 970 was a champ of a card for the price at 1080p.

The 980 ti killed the 980 pretty quickly launching at $649 to lose out by a hair to the $1,000 Titan. The 1070 wasn't as good of a value as the 970 but still gave you 980 ti perf + 2GB more VRAM at less power usage. 2xxx series was an awful price from the start and began the steep climb upwards compared to 2002-2017 GPU prices. You could get the best or second-best card for $500-649 for nearly two decades.
