is RTX 3050 to RX 6750 XT worth it for around £150 extra?
aisle9 replied to aryanpall's topic in New Builds and Planning
The performance chart you have up is for 16GB 9060 XTs. The PCPP image you're showing is all 8GB models. Speaking as someone coming from an RX 6700, bought an 8GB 9060 XT, watched it strangle itself, then returned it and threw an extra $70 out there for a 16GB 9060 XT, 100% worth it. -
Jesus Christ, $5 for a base game that probably has two maps and one vehicle, or you can step up to four maps and two vehicles for $50. Not good enough for you? Go to $90 and you get a fucking tank!
-
I think it would be worth it there. How long have you held onto that RX 570? Do you want to hold on to your next card for the same length of time? If yes, then it's worth the added cost. Only thing I'll suggest is that if an RX 9060 XT 16GB squeaks in anywhere near your budget, it's worth it. I have the boniest of bone stock versions, the PowerColor Reaper, and it's doing very well for me so far.

A mining card is not the end of the world. You just have to do your homework to decide if it's a gamble worth taking--and it's usually not a gamble. I'd be more concerned about cards used for AI right now, tbqh. A mining card runs undervolted around 60-65C constantly. Sounds crazy, but that's actually better for a GPU than AI loads that have it screaming at full power and temperatures right on the edge.

It probably is. I had to restore my OneDrive a week ago because I'd accidentally killed files I needed, then I had to restore back to the future (goes a lot slower than 88mph, though) a few days later when I realized that something else's birth had been prevented when I killed its grandfather. Or something like that. But yeah, I won't even try to argue against this being my fault. I did fix it, though. Went into safe mode, gave myself every permission known to mankind, and facerolled until the delete stuck.
-
See below. The user it's wanting permission from is me. Logged onto that account right now, but it refuses to play along. I've already goofed with advanced permissions without any luck. Is there a way to clear this so I can delete these damn folders?
-
It seems like there's a way to jump through hoops and make it happen, but I'm honestly kind of tempted to just sign up for NextDiffusion and use a pod setup, or go with ComfyUI and use the local client. For something that I'm going to need to use heavily when I need it, but only need it infrequently, $12-15 per month doesn't seem like a bad idea instead of bending over backwards to make old software work.

I'm trying to use the included pth2ncnn file to convert everything, but the cmd box just opens and closes without making any changes. I'm stuck processing in CPU mode right now, which is absurdly painfully slow. Is there something I'm just stupidly looking right past here, or should I be considering using my older system with an RTX A2000 (6GB Ampere) installed instead of my main system and its 9060 XT for use with AI processing?

Why the absolute frick does a Ryzen 7 5700X cost $210? Even used ones on eBay from sellers with 2 feedback are going for more than $170. Is this part of the AI BS (which, ironically, is why I’m looking for a 5700X)?
-
I was looking at eBay for 5800X prices earlier this week (might be trading up to a 5950X) and realized they're going for $30-50 more than I paid for either of my 5800Xs new. There's some wild pricing at the top end of AM4... I'm surprised that AMD isn't quietly leaning into it (aside from the 5500X and 5900XT).

Because they can basically. Even things not effected are being increased in price.
Never forget humans are opportunists at best. Greedy as fuck usually.

Are you on a VPN? If so, depending on where all it's routing to, that could be solid. If not, it's really nothing special.

Still less disgusting than the great BonziBuddy massacre of 2004. -
Overpriced for what it is. If you have a 5600X and can't get either of the MSI boards, the the ASUS Prime isn't a terrible option. It's just not anywhere near as good as the MSI B550M PRO-VDH and B550M-VC, which are always the exact same price (sometimes even a little cheaper).
-
I would never discourage someone from replacing a B450 dumpster fire, but yours probably just needs a BIOS update as others have said. You can use the 2600X to do it. If you do end up changing motherboard, I would suggest the MSI B550M-VC or B550M PRO-VDH, either one with wifi preinstalled. The ASUS B550M PRIME has crappy I/O, no front panel USB-C support, annoying PCIe x16 slot placement, and (supposedly) worse VRMs. Oh, and they're the same price as the ASUS if you're in the US. It's basically a worse version of the two MSIs, especially the B550M-VC. The only headaches I've had with the B550M-VC are wifi that was annoying to set up just needed (USB wifi dongle needed for drivers) and a BIOS that's not exactly the best.
