Looks too tall for you. I can dispose of it for free if you like.

Did I hear correctly in something about China cracking down on bitcoin mining so the GPU shortage should start to ease up?

i heard that too. I do hope prices fall and they become available more widely again.

That is a good sign. Just need these tariffs to go away and we can have $500 3070s and everything will be amazing once again.

yeah I sold my 3080fe locally for $1650 and got a 3090 a few weeks back on another BB drop.

Welp here go.

Goodbye old generic 24" monitor

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

I think I'm more excited for HDR than I am about the G9's size.

 

[IDAFC21]

Yeah I think im gonna like this

Perfect fit! Just the size increase alone is worth the upgrade so far. Gonna have to play with this thing and see what it can really do. I know its no 49" But this is good for me.

So idk if they were reserved or what, but MC had a handful of 3080s and 3090s when I was there yesterday

 

[Chester Copperpot]

I ALMOST went down there yesterday since we were in Hillside for a funeral/wake.

I'm now thinking I may need to look at graphics card upgrades to take full advantage of this new monitor. I just checked my amazon history and I bought this GTX970 back in 2015 back then I think the displayport was still only v1.2 . Hmmm.

Yeah, going from a GTX980 to a 2080 doubled my frame rates. A 3070 would probably give another 30-50% over my 2080.

Your a 3060 or 3070 would be a massive upgrade for you. But damn this market.

 

[IDAFC21]

christ, I am not about spending that much on a graphics card. Im thinking like 1650, max

 

[IDAFC21]

or maybe 1660.

 

[Fish]

Thats the only thing that stinks. Going to even a 3070 would be huge for most people, but you got scalpers trying to make all the dimes off of you, and then miners trying to make all the dimes for themselves. I honestly respect the miners more. They at least use the stuff they buy.

I was hyped to upgrade to a 3070 from my 1070 but alas.

Regular install? In a VM? Thoughts?

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Its on my SurfacePro 4 that I use for data logging the GTA. Runs well enough.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

G9 Monitor shipped. Should have it by Friday. Fuck yeah.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

[Thirdgen89GTA]

I have tried and failed to fit both the old 34” and the 49” on my desk.

Ridiculous. Absolute.
