    I’ve got my “selling a kidney to buy a new GPU” and “AC inputs on the rear panel because it uses so much power” memes already locked and loaded, ready to post!

    You know, at $2k you can get a decent sex doll.

    A 5090 will definitely out perform my 2070 super

    Neither option looks great to other people. Which one gets more bang for my buck?

        Nah, hard pass on that. Next thing you know you’re having conversations with her, and then you take her to a fancy restaurant completely forgetting she doesn’t need to eat and it creates a mess everywhere.

        That’s when people find out you spent hard earned cash on a Lucy Lou sexbot and can’t figure out how to judge you: based on your loneliness, sexbot creepy factor, or the fact that you brought a sexbot to a fancy restaurant and somehow expected it to put something it’s not familiar with in its mouth.

      I built my partner a computer, gave them my 650w PSU, and upgraded my machine to a 1000w platinum PSU for absolutely no reason other than it was a good deal. I think that’ll prolly handle it!

        I always buy a 1000w PSU even when I don’t need one, because PSUs operate better when they’re not maxed out, and because idk what the future may bring.

          A wildly overpowered PSU will also use more power at low loads, as that’s outside the efficiency range. The ratings (like gold or platinum) also usually don’t apply, as loads like that are not part of the certification process.

          This may be irrelevant to you of course, depending on your electricity prices.

            Yeah, electricity isn’t much of a concern for me, plus I build pretty beefy systems, so I’m not overbuilding by too much. This last PC I built probably could have done with a 650w PSU, but I bought 1000w.

            AMD Ryzen 9700x CPU

            AMD RX 7900 GRE GPU

            DDR5 6000 RAM

            PCIe 5 m.2 HDD

            It’s a really great computer, but the AMD components don’t require nearly as much power as Nvidia and Intel parts.

    I went team red for the first time in 20 years with a 7900XTX and have been super happy. Don’t get me wrong, still expensive, but not as insulting as team green’s pricing.

    I went 7900XTX instead of a 40XX Nvidia GPU and couldn’t have been happier. Not the cheapest thing on the market but yet to encounter something it can’t run to my standards.

          I guess I just wasn’t interested in one back then. I bought it when Diablo 4 came out, because I read that it runs like trash on the PS4 Pro, which is what I had. I did have that issue with the 4 Pro though, and ended up buying one off Craigslist.
