Can't wait!

Hard disagree.

The dot-com burst would be worst case scenario and I think that's a long chance.

I understand that some people hate AI or that they feel threatened by it, but I can only imagine that those who say it has no real value are either being facetious or have extremely limited cognitive capacity or imagination.

You don't want a used GPU that's been running overclocked for years on end bro.

Why the hell would you want to buy a used gpu that’s been burnt through its lifespan by an AI or crypto bro?

That’s a bad, horrible idea.

Won't the price of all gpus go down when they're not all being snatched up for mining?

[email protected]

Cheap is cheap

[email protected]

The price of gpus would go down as there would be less demand.

Nuclear energy could also be a weird side effect of the bubble.

I agree, history always repeats itself. But perhaps the timing is different, it could be 20 years, 10 years, or 50 years who knows

[email protected]

Absolutely! New ones will be much cheaper, and that’ll be awesome.

But the used gpu market has been trash since crypto mining became a thing. Not worth the money to buy something that’s been worked to within an inch of its EOL.

[email protected]

For a lemon? Cheap is still too expensive.

[email protected]

I'll never buy used tires, underwear or gpus haha

How much if a discount are you expecting to start gaming on a 30k card with no video output?

Multiple outlets including LTT and Gamers Nexus have debunked this.

The only thing you may have to do if you notice unusual performance is reapply thermal paste to the GPU, and that’s only because most thermal paste will dry out after years of sitting around or being used

Aw, I was hoping the whole thing would rhyme after the first line.

Not for gaming, for running AI open source models and other AI shenanigans. My 4080 Super has been filling my gaming needs and will for years to come, but it's not enough for my AI interests lol

The most I can get out of this 4080 is running a ~7B param model, but I want to run cooler shit like that new open source DeepSeek v3 that dropped the other day.

I'm worried their operating costs are higher than they admit. They keep dumbing down the AI to make it use less energy. Right now it's a free product that uses a crazy high amount of electricity. They don't seem all that close to profitability.

[email protected]

Why do people care about powerful GPUs? Just use whatever works.

[email protected]

So you're waiting for the AI bubble to burst because you can't wait to run all the cool new AI models?

[email protected]

Gaming aside, powerful GPUs are useful for a lot of work like 3D graphics, video editing, neural networks, and a lot of stuff i don't know about

[email protected]

Some things like vr also just barely work without a powerful GPU

I have a 3060 but with the sheer number of pixels that my reverb g2 has its really not enough
