I dont see AMD releasing a card with 48GBs meaning it will be a unique high end product, and this is Nvidia we're talking about. It will probably be the worst price/performance card by far and still be exuberantly priced in a way that doesn't reflect the manufacturing cost.

It's interesting to see this rumor and think about the huge jump in vram, but it's not relevant to gamers IMO. 48GBs of vram is just pure overkill and by a lot. Modern game engines are proving that you can take a huge amount of super highly detailed objects made with photogrammetry and run totally wild with that, and the vram amounts we have now work fine for that. There are some Quixel demos running on a 1080Ti that are extremely impressive. We just don't need that much vram for games with how things boil down now. Plenty of ram already to have tons of assets on screen and SSDs are fast enough to make loading more assets in real time a non-issue. Already being at the point where 3D models are as detailed as we need them to be, the rest mostly comes down to lighting and artistic design. As @Sir Beregond pointed out though, 48GBs is not that surprising, especially when you consider it's only a doubling of what the 3090 has now, and that the rest of the 3000 series cards were supposed to launch with double the amount of ram. But by the time we get anywhere close to needing that much vram for games, the GPU won't be anywhere close to holding up because it will be a very long time. Pricing though, if they do release a 48GB card, I think they will definitely use it as an excuse to charge a massive premium for it. They might price some of their other cards more reasonably this time around, but they also want to have something out there that's mostly just bragging rights for people with more money than sense.

Rumored flagship Nvidia Lovelace card to pack 48GB of GDDR6X, 18,176 CUDA cores, and 800W TDP WWW.TECHSPOT.COM Regular leaker kopite7kimi posted a tweet about what he appropriately nicknamed "the beast." The card is... If this is where the 800w rumors are coming from, that's makes it more reasonable.

That's an impressive jump in thread count for a single gen.

Lol, nice. Very creative...

I tried a lot of different stuff, and one thing I tried that came out with really interesting results was cyberpunk disney princess. I did a lot of iterations of that to get better and better results, added a few terms like "borg" and "beautiful", borg to add green and beautiful to help the AI understand that the results shouldn't look too crazy. I think the results are pretty cool. See for yourself:

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Graphics Card Almost Twice As Fast As RTX 3090 In 3DMark Time Spy Extreme Benchmark, Alleges Rumor WCCFTECH.COM NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card offers nearly twice the performance of the RTX 3090 in the 3DMark Time Spy Extreme benchmark. Finally, some numbers. This doesn't seem far fetched to me, given the time frame, the die shrink, and the maturity of the architecture at this point. Looking forward to seeing what Intel and AMD can do as well. I think raster performance is going to be less and less important vs RT performance going forward. Maybe not right away, but moving the lighting from raster to RT processing is going to drop the need for raster performance, and performance in that area is already really strong on modern GPUs. So while this is an interesting benchmark, I am way more interested in seeing RT performance numbers.

I was having so much fun with it that I signed up for the paid unlimited version ($30/mo). I don't plan to stay subscribed for more than a month or two but in the mean time if you guys run out of free trial images but still have a cool idea for an image prompt, you can let me know and I can do the image prompt for you.

You can do a lot with the prompts like adding certain art styles from specific artist and if you know what style your going for, you can get pretty close. Some basic commands you can add to a prompt: "--hd" will use a more detailed render approach. Not always ideal for certain art styles. "--ar 16:9" control the aspect ratio. "--no" keep something out of your image. For example: clear sky --no clouds

Same.

Tldr. Sounds like you should take your own advice though. You just have a lot of unfounded skepticism about everything. It gets old. And just fyi, the pics I posted were mostly ones I made, or I told the AI to make, and I feel like I'm just scratching the surface of what this think can do. There definitely weren't AIs or chatbots doing thing anywhere close to this level in past.

That does not surprise me Some of the ones I've made that stand out so far:

I don't think its just the forum, theres just not much interesting going on in the PC hardware or gaming space these days.

Yea, I've seen similar stuff before but not this simple and easy to use for free with good results. I was kinda hoping other people would try it and post their results.

Midjourney WWW.MIDJOURNEY.COM An independent research lab exploring new mediums of thought and expanding the imaginative powers of the human species. You join the discord and you get like 20 or so free samples to use to make whatever AI powered images you want. I stumbled onto this yesterday and had a ton of fun messing with the free trial. I've seen some news articles about this, but I figured I'd just post about it from the source. This is the first image generation AI that people can trial for free that actually works really well as far as I know.

There are 1tb ssds on amazon from pny and I think silicone power that are just a few dollars more, but those prices are the same as always for those models. Still, not at all a bad deal.

For $28 that's a steal, even used.

How much did you spend on them from the thrift store? These have been around for about two decades. I had a set when I was a teenager. Speaker tech doesn't change much and Klipsch got it right the first time within the price range. Not going to impress at very high volumes, but at anything low enough to keep the sub from distorting they are very solid. Having a separate knob for the sub is really useful for speakers like these. I have some $25 logitech speakers that came with a sub that I use for my spare PC and they are surprisingly good for the price, but the main issue is there is no way to adjust the sub and it's actually too loud as is.
