No one needs a 5090.
Some men just want to watch the world burn.

I’m not an economist but I don’t think that’s how that works.

Why give the company at the epicenter of the coming financial crash your money?
This is like hoping for the sub-prime market to crash so that you can afford a Bear-Stearns home loan at a favourable interest rate.

But millions of virtual waifus and half-hearted vibe-coded projects on GitHub will die!

That’s a sacrifice I want to make right now!

That’s what the 5090 is for. Excellent for running local LLMs.

Better get two so that there’s enough power for the v-girl to give live commentary on the gameplay.

I will be shocked if computer parts, aren’t, right now, the most affordable they are ever likely to be for the rest of your life.

My pet conspiracy theory is they’re trying to take compute power away from the proletariat so it can’t be used against them in the coming AI wars.
grranibal@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
I also believe they want to take our compute power BUT I think they just want to turn it subscription based (e.g. cloud gaming)

Do you really? This bugger is loud as fuck and eats the sun for breakfast, energy-wise. In hind sight, a 5080 would’ve done equally fine minus some fps.

RX 9060 XT gang
DegenerateSupreme@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
I was going to grab a 9070 XT, but I also wanted to start mainly using a local LLM instead of contributing to data center use, so I snagged a used 7900 XTX for $750 off eBay for the greater VRAM capacity. Works like a charm, and the local Qwen model is performing great. Totally worth it. It’s my first Radeon card because I wanted to dodge the ridiculous Nvidia AI markups, but it’s already showing signs of running better with my Linux machine, so I don’t expect I’ll be going back to the green menace.

You don’t need this.
HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 3 weeks ago
I don’t need a 5090 though. My 2070 is still going alright, don’t really see a reason to replace it right now.
apprehensivecrab1@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I’m out of the loop. What is a 5090?
LodeMike@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
GPU
HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 3 weeks ago
I can’t help but think someone who doesn’t know what a 5090 is would be helped with the letters GPU.

Why? Are you cold? There are better ways to start a fire.

Dont worry, theyll get a bailout and youll be on the hook for everything. Privitize the gains, socialize the losses

I’m so happy I bought a 4090 and 64GB of RAM in 2023. This shit is ridiculous.

Remember in post 2008 when things went back to how they were. Remember in 2019 when things went back to how they were. They take the margins and excess and you create personal debt. The boomer wealth shift isn’t happening for you either.

If the economy crashes we are the ones that’s gonna be fucked… I don’t think I can afford a 5090 before or after.

Just gotta wait for the strategic oil reserves to run out while diaperman keeps closing the strait, and it’ll be a big ol’ happy happy
LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
While it is true that they are at their lowest levels in a long time, the reality is that between domestic production that we have available and the reserves, even if our usage continued to grow, we still have a few years worth before we would actually genuinely run out.
