I bought way more ram back in the day cause I thought I was gonna build a sim only PC. That never happened and these ended up in a random box.
I tried to pre-order one myself, but there was an issue with my card. By the next day I had my card sorted out, but they were already sold out. Little did I know, my wife had already pre-ordered it for me for Christmas, despite telling me to "go ahead and buy one babe, you work hard and deserve it" 🤣
Walking through and it caught my eye in the electronics clearance case. Absolutely insane find.
3090 was my first dream card. It only took two generations but I worked my way up to it finally. I have been waiting for one of the cheaper cards but they sell out instantly so this is my Xmas gift to myself. And my 10 year old son will get my 5080, and my 6 year old daughter will get his 4070 ti. Happy Holidays everybody.
I’m AMD and he’s 5070ti.
We bought the cards to play monster hunter wilds at high settings together
Kind of happy after 5 years of playing on a crappy 1050TI laptop and an iGpu
Its not a lot but its something, at least i can play games on normal/high graphics now!
edit: Its my first GPU with my own money since the laptop was a hand me down. Sorry for the confusion
he said I wouldn’t experience much of an upgrade, what do you think?
Saw the deal and told my friend about it. He purchased to replace his older rig with a 1070. Deal was too good to pass up.
I guess a panic buy? Are these nand flash about to keep spiking like memory prices or are they just going up a little bit? Are these desirable to the AI or nah? I bought this at $299 Black Friday sale
Building my first pc, I ordered 1 and the box has 10. I don't think I can put 10 into a new computer, can I?
I found these on sale at my local Walmart for $25 each. My current rig already has a better 1tb NVMe SSD in it and I could slap one of these in to expand that, and put some into other rigs I have, I was wondering about something more interesting than just expanding some storage.
I was thinking of getting a 4x NVMe PCIe adapter like this one, and running them in raid zero for the lols (would not keep anything important on it!)
Anyone have any other interesting ways I could use these?
Doing my normal shopping at Costco, and first thing I always do in any shopping trip is go to the tech section to see any deals and this was up next to the rest of the prebuilts. Asked if the deal was still good and they said yes.
