So I've got a healthy end-of-year bonus coming in, and my 1080 is starting to feel long in the tooth (or more likely Palworld is just garbage :lol:), are any of the new refreshes of particularly compelling value?

Save $200 to buy an end of cycle card that released in October 2022.

it's a joke. The whole thing is a laugh.

e: seriously though just buy a used 3080 or something, or wait until 5000 series if you have the $$$. The 4080 super is an insane joke. No one wanted these cards at $1,999 but slap a couple hundred off one and a half years later, it's a nice price cut apparently.

Sorry I'm being a dick and it's nothing personal I just can't believe how horrible the gpu market is and how people are buying a 1.5 year old card for a small markdown like it was a deal

I mean... it's probably the best retail card for gaming at that price point if you care about efficiency or rt performance.

Expecting retail to compete with used for value isn't realistic; if it did nobody would buy used. And something better is always coming.

In q4 or whenever 5000 series launches probably people will be saying the same poo poo; 5000 series sucks go buy a used 4080 (super) on eBay. So it goes.

I mean it's fine if it's not compelling enough for you to buy; I'm not buying one either. I'll maybe jump when 4080 efficiency can be had at like 600-800, which might not be for a generation or two. But getting mad about it is pointless. As time marches on, price:perf will get better, and 4080 perf for $200 less is in fact value getting better. Just by not as much as you want.

Yeah, all the original rumors I think were for a launch in “Early 2025” I think? Based on when the 4080 launched, there’s probably somewhere between 40-45% of its lifecycle remaining, and Nvidia just did a mid-lifecycle cost cut that actually improved price/perf on it. Seems perfectly fine, and the easier choice for many going 4K vs the 4090 (whereas before, it could be relatively easily argued to just pay the 33% more for a 4090 for the 30% higher performance and greater VRAM, but now you’d be paying 60% more for the same 30% performance, so that recommendation went “woof”)

If you’re looking for value, 3080 is not a bad suggestion - if you’re running a 1080 you might be cpu limited long before a 4080 even begins to struggle

me. lots of industries these days explicitly bar feeding their data to an algo or storing it in a cloud. also i refuse to give my personal data over to FANG losers unless they pay me for the privilege. doing it locally could be great for anything that is privacy focused.

if you watch the pitch video, ive got like 10,000 PDF/Word/Excel docs ive created for work. being able to just type "when did i write this letter?" into a prompt instead of manually scanning thousands of files sound very tasty to me. also, i like the idea of my local model doing things like doorbell facial tracking instead of trusting it to be done in the cloud with a company that is explicitly using that data for nefarious purposes and ads (yeah, i know about BlueIris and stuff too).

im not gonna be the first one to feed my data into it, but i like the idea of local models for sure.

i set up alerts directly with retailers and they never went off, despite buying a card just this morning. Never did get an email, so I don't suggest relying on those. I just made checking retailers directly part of my morning routine, annoying as that was.

now, it was in stock for a single-digit number of hours, but it was still in stock!

What card did you buy, at what price? I’m seeing some of the 1200 msrp cards stick around but none of the $999s

Dude just upgrade your poo poo, install Open-Shell to get the Start Menu back, and I guess a telemetry disabler if you care, but 10 has probably as much telemetry as 11.

Win 11 has a lot of poo poo that actually helps GPUs that you're missing with 10, like the DXGI flip model.

And after you've done that, don't install a goddamn Nvidia AI chatbot lol

That’s what firewall rules are for. I suspect that it sends telemetry but would be quite surprised if it sent the training data or resulting model.

Most jurisdictions don’t have clear regulation around ML models trained on PII, in terms of protection or subject rights. It could be weird.
