Enthusiasms, enthusiasms...
Not sure the rules about selling here but is anyone interested in a EVGA 3080TI at cost? My step up pinged but I don't have a persronal use for it. Wanted to give an artist a crack at it first. All I ask is that you have post history in this thread. I have until the end of the day (pacific standard time) to pay for it

Mods: I can make a SA mart thread for it if necessary.

edit: dibbed

any unreal users on an older rig? I haven't gotten around to building a new one yet and I'm on a 1070. Wonder if it's still usable

I mean, that depends entirely on usecase? My old laptop had a 1070 and it did everything in Unreal very well, as long as you keep away from raytraced stuff.(For realtime, anyhow.)
(It could do it, but non-rtx cards are a slog once RT goes on, though I dunno how they work with lumen, since it has some non-rt modes as well. You might get decent perf in the non-RT-accelerated versions of lumen for example.)

If you want more complex lighting you might need to lean on baking scenes lighting more, but a gpu like that can still crunch millions of polygons and render heavy scenes in VR etc etc.
But yeah, a 1070 is more than enough as long as you don't want to play with RT.

So it depends on what you want to do, really. What are you aiming to do?

render out some animated sequences

I graduated in 2020 and most of the people in my class don't work in the industry. Nowadays a portfolio fresh out of college isn't enough for most people to find work. From the feedback I got fresh out of college, I needed a lot more work on my portfolio and I needed to practice. So I did a lot of personal projects.

I think the advice I would give to graduates now is to find a niche (like biomedical visualization for example) and build your portfolio around it. It's a lot harder to get a job as a "generalist" with one character and a low-poly axe on your Artstation.

Personally I went into toy design and just got really good at ZBrush, so I do that now. That was probably a dumb decision on my part (way less jobs, obviously competitive) but it ended up working out for me and I'm happy where I am.

curious what do they do now
